I demand cross-platform support!

csanyk 2013-04-27 04:52

Lol, I'd love to do that, Crynix. I bought GameMaker Studio for that very reason. Yet for some reason this project won't even build to HTML5. Well, it builds, but when I load the resulting web page in my browser it won't run anything. Very odd.

And to build to OS X or iOS or Ubuntu or Windows 8 I need a second computer that runs that OS to target. My current environment doesn't have that. But if any other GameMaker Studio developers out there want to download the source and make a build, by all means go ahead. And if you can send me the build, I'll host it and update this entry with a link to it.

OK I managed to rebuild my project and get an HTML5 build that runs. I'm not sure, but I think the project I worked on last night may have been corrupted, resulting in the HTML5 build to fail.

Cute. I like it!

Just wanted to stop in and thank you for your GM Wave Motion Tutorial. Really helped me out with my entry!

suese 2013-04-29 04:00

haha. You get a humor rating, that is all.

csanyk 2013-04-29 10:31

Suese, that's really all it deserves, anyway. I hope to be more inspired by the theme next time. This was really more of a joke entry/protest of the theme. - - although if I had a freer schedule this weekend, I would have made a second, more serious attempt.

PacifistGames, you're quite welcome! I am glad my tutorials are getting popular. I worked on the wave motion problem pretty hard, as a result of the previous LD, where I had to fake it with a sprite animation. I do learn a lot from doing these compos. :-D

Hm...I don't about the theme though...this feels more like nihilism than minimalism...You took away too much!

brassawiking 2013-05-13 19:25

Actually wanted it to be more smartass against me when I lost.

csanyk 2013-05-14 13:15

@Brassawiking: Congratulation! A loser is you.


;-)

I didn't feel like the game mechanics and the first person perspective really meshed well. Moving the jelly past the dragon was especially difficult after you got the cake, but I can appreciate the statement you were trying to make there.

ryusui 2013-05-16 04:39

A strange game indeed.

ddrkirbyisq 2013-05-16 07:18

I got stuck on the third level =(

aymes 2013-05-16 08:14

Heheh nice. Although I'm sure it cheated. I'm positive that I won!

dick_claus 2013-05-18 05:00

haha, ok.

andrewshouldice 2013-05-18 20:22

I lost the first couple times, but I'm trying a different strategy now. So far so good!

jamioflan 2013-05-18 21:30

I'm impressed by your flawless support for iPads and other mobile devices; I appreciated every facet of this deep and complex project just as well as a PC gamer would have.

koltiman 2013-05-18 22:09

This will be the benchmark for future gaming

natedog9145 2013-05-19 04:47

I long, compelling journey with lots of great gameplay and story twists! Great game

zim-the-fox 2013-05-19 06:46

I opened the link and it was a blank square, and after a few seconds it displayed 'You Win.'

Yay!

eatenalive3 2013-05-20 13:33

Very difficult! I eventually gave up after dying for the 7th time... You might want to give us more health and an ability to heal. Otherwise, great job!

csanyk 2013-05-20 17:01

@Zim the Fox, you won my game?! That's un-possible!

rezoner 2013-05-20 19:24

White is my favorite color so u get 5 in graphics.

rafaelsales 2013-05-20 22:15

Here didn't work. In the beginning I thought that the concept is just the blank screen with 3 texts, but reading the comments, it seems that there is something to play. I didn't rate because I didn't play :(

rafaelsales 2013-05-20 22:17

Okay. Reading again the text:

Obviously I'm going for a high Theme and Humor score here.

Yep. It's only this. Rated! hahaha

fnkee 2013-05-20 22:41

Haha, genious!

csanyk 2013-05-20 23:48

Rafael Sales, I think perhaps some of my players ended up staring at the game so long that it started giving them hallucinations, or something;-)
