Based on the design, it looks very pretty(as well as puzzly). I'll be back later to see if there's a Windows version available!

harleylaurie 2013-04-29 03:59

Windows port?

nikteddy92 2013-04-29 17:22

I love this game! <3

conve 2013-04-29 18:40

I love it!

The Linux binary didn't work for me (Linux Mint 12 - 32bit), so I tried to compile it. Here is the log:
make exe
g++ -c src/main.cpp
In file included from src/main.cpp:1:0:
src/ld26.h:10:27: fatal error: SFML/System.hpp: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [exe] Error 1

What are it's dependencies?

proch 2013-04-30 14:22

you need sfml 1.6 libraries... you grab them here http://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/1.6/

grambler1 2013-04-30 14:23

SFML, clearly

pinkerator 2013-04-30 14:23

Looks nice, but, sadly, I don't have Linux :((

proch 2013-04-30 14:32

what if i make a video of the gameplay? at least you can see how it is

bobiniki 2013-04-30 14:37

Looks good from the screenshots, but I don't have Linux so I didn't rate.

skintkingle 2013-04-30 14:39

Would love a windows port. :)

goerp 2013-04-30 15:03

I put it on my tochecklaterlist

proch 2013-04-30 15:08

i added a gameplay video! check the description ;)

daubers 2013-04-30 15:33

Had to apt-get install libsfml-audio1.6 libsfml-graphics1.6 but ran fine with those installed on Ubuntu.

Graphically fantastic. Music is very peaceful :) Took me a little while to realise the bar at the bottom was effectivley health :) Good game.

alanzucconi 2013-04-30 15:33

I hope there will be a Windows port very soon!
The video looks so nice!

*_*

merkoth 2013-04-30 15:48

It looks great, here's to hoping for a windows or mac version :)

martijn 2013-04-30 15:49

Linux only? That might cost you some ratings.

ifred_qc 2013-04-30 15:50

You didn't upload the source first, second most users are Windows so a port would be good. Don't feel like booting Linux for only one game, sorry.

vrld 2013-04-30 15:50

God, this game is hard. Very fun though!

proch 2013-05-01 14:54

the source is in the archive. and i didn't choose to release it linux-only... windows compilers hate me and i didn't managed to make it work... sry for that :(

leebo86 2013-05-01 17:02

What exactly is happening in the gameplay video? It's not particularly clear. I'm guessing it's not mouse controlled, since the mouse never moves.

dotteri 2013-05-01 17:17

XD it's ironic that I'm on Windows to play some games that don't works fine on Wine.

mikeware 2013-05-01 17:19

Would love to try this out, hope you can solve your issues with windows!

HelkeGames 2013-05-01 18:15

Awesome design and art, love the concept well done!

meta87 2013-05-01 18:27

looks cool will come back!

someone 2013-05-01 18:28

It breaks after you fail: Failed to load image "data/tex1.png". It is missing.
Also the track seems impossible. Died pretty much instantly. It is a lot more complex than in your screenshots and gameplay video.
The aesthetic is really nice though.
Also something in-game to tell you which keys to use would be useful.

proch 2013-05-01 20:13

@someone: i'm gonna upload a new version fixing that bug ;) thank you for reporting.
and... i didn't managed (in 48h) to display text :D i'm gonna study and implement something for later use

glbs 2013-05-01 20:51

Too bad it's only on linux (or maybe too bad I'm not on it), it looks interesting

thirteenwb 2013-05-01 21:39

It fit the theme well. I thought it was a bit too slow paced at the beginning but it got sufficiently challenging once more blocks arrived. Nice concept :)

morgawr 2013-05-01 22:24

I couldn't really understand what was going on. The game idea seems pretty good, however the game itself offers not much feedback when hitting the right "notes" or anything. Took me a while to get how it was supposed to work.

proch 2013-05-01 23:11

yes you're right Morgawr... a simple tutorial/instructions was in my todo-list, but the windows problem took my last4/5 hours and i didn't managed to do it in time

the-jack 2013-05-02 07:58

Checked out the video, looks really pretty in motion.

mesene 2013-05-02 12:37

Please put some gameplay video :D

jhelle 2013-05-02 12:37

Couldn't play it but it looks nice :)

lorancou 2013-05-02 13:14

Ha, no linux at end, will try to fin one. Tried a VM but was toooo slooow....

proch 2013-05-02 13:27

the linux foundation will make me an honorable member for converting so many people from windows to linux XD

roguenoodle 2013-05-02 15:40

Love the look of this - hoping for a Windows or Mac port :)

dotteri 2013-05-02 16:56

Just strange and hard to understand but not bad.

It seems de ultimate killer app for Linux =p.

kernel_panic 2013-05-02 17:46

I think my machine was too powerful for this game. If I didn't add in a micro sleep in the code somewhere then it gave me hoards-of-grains-of-sand to play. Fortunately, I figured that out and realised this is a fun, good game.

proch 2013-05-02 19:17

really? fps are locked to 60... dunno why it didn't worked for you :O maybe that's something wrong with your usleep library

dedhedzed 2013-05-03 13:23

Can't run Linux games, I'm afraid. Looks cool, though.

dst 2013-05-04 10:55

Very cool and clean style! Interesting mechanic too!

lorancou 2013-05-05 16:13

I managed to play it under Debian but the "notes" look much more shattered on my side than on your screenshots: http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/750/sooscreenshot.png. So unfortunately, this is not really playable.

proch 2013-05-05 16:52

that's the hardcore mode :D it's very very strange :O maybe there's something wrong with the rand() function. so strange

lightnarcissus 2013-05-07 18:08

It looks interesting. Wish it had a Windows version,so I could play it. :(

smaxx 2013-05-10 14:03

Tried to compile it on Windows, but would have had to downgrade SFML first - well. :) Just one minor thing regarding your source: you should include SFML using <> brackets, because it's essentially a system library not included in your local source. Having a video definitely won't hurt, so people can at least look at the gameplay, it seems to be looking very interesting after all.

sylvain-p 2013-05-14 03:22

The design looks great...but linux...

onzephyr 2013-05-15 00:26

linux only , so I didn't get a chance to play. I may have to go get a live disk, real fast to try it out.
