Good answer to the theme, the music/sounds are really good, simple graphics, simple gameplay. What else?

xsmalldeadguyx 2013-04-29 07:49

Kinda fun, a bit repetitive. Audio was quite nice

xgor 2013-04-29 07:52

This game just oozes minimalism, It's possible to get into unwinnible situations if you don't have the magnet though and that's really annoying

xaychru04 2013-04-29 08:08

Thanks for playing !
I know I should have added more things but I was restricted by the 4x4 area which can be saturated rapidly.
As Xgor said, sometimes ennemies can block a coin in a corner as they appear at random positions, so the only way to get it is to have more than one life, or to have the magnet :/

Nice game, is possible to get into unwinnable situation which can be annoying.. but fun

Thanks for including the gameplay video. I might have called this one "Terror on the Dancefloor".

The music is great. And now anything I look at has a slight imprint of a grid.

attagcatc 2013-04-29 10:12

I quite like it. The only issue is that the red squares hide behind the coins which gets a bit confusing.

cmayhem 2013-04-29 10:24

Super simple with great 8-bit mood, yet still fun and addicting.

Can't play, OpenAL32.dll error. :(

steve 2013-04-29 11:56

Couldn't run it, missing openal32.dll.

xaychru04 2013-04-29 12:22

I'm so stupid, I forgot to put it on the archive ><
Should be fixed now.

Having an issue with the mac app. Here's the full error output: http://pastie.org/7737471

xaychru04 2013-04-29 13:14

I uploaded an other version, I changed the save file location, but I don't know if it fixes the bug as the Mac port was working all the time from the beginning...
So I think that if you have other problems with the Mac port, I won't be able to fix them :/

Anyway, thanks for testing :D

cptbubbles 2013-04-29 13:15

This is a quite fun in a frustrating, addictive sort of way :) I also loved the sound effects.

holofire 2013-04-29 13:58

Amazing game. Very simple an fits in with the theme perfectly.

An improvement would be to increase the items available in the shop. Encourages people to play longer then :D

tau7153 2013-04-29 14:14

Wow, definitely worth the wait. Amazing game, really liked the music and art!

314 2013-04-29 14:55

Awsome!

lrdkzrth 2013-04-29 15:22

Good game

ekuurh 2013-04-29 15:32

very nice game, would have rated 5/5 if i could :)
super-magnet pretty much wins the game, though. i just stand around in one of the four central spots and let everything come to me. if when another red guy comes i'm on his path, i move and keep waiting.

xaychru04 2013-04-29 15:58

Thank you everyone very much for playing! :D

@Holofire: Adding objects to the shop was one of the things I wanted to do but then the game would have been saturated with objects (like bombs or p-ups), more difficult to understand and, of course, less minimalist. :p

@ekuurh: I know it's possible to just stand on a square and wait for the coins to be attracted, but I left it like that because after a lot of ennemies can appear and kill you.

merkoth 2013-04-29 16:20

Couldn't run it under latest OSX, the game seems to open but never starts to run.

xaychru04 2013-04-29 18:09

Infortunately, I can't solve the problems I've with the Mac port because as I said, it's working fine on my Mac. So I'm sorry for that and I hope it will be better for the next LD ><

xaychru04 2013-04-29 19:47

Edit: Finally Monoquartz, a friend who has a Mac, wrapped the windows version into a Mac app, and it's working.
It's much bigger (60Mo), and the game is a bit long to load, but it works :D

argo15 2013-04-29 21:00

Liked the audio.

crazi456 2013-04-30 08:18

Very amusing! Great audio!

alfonzm 2013-04-30 10:21

Simple and fun and addicting!

ataxkt 2013-04-30 13:34

Really fun! I love the simple arcade mechanic - its repetitive, but I love it for that!

multitude 2013-04-30 13:37

NICE! More of this please. I would love to see some more upgrades and a bigger stage would be cool.

jellycakes 2013-04-30 18:08

Pretty decent game. Very fast paced and the shop keeps you playing and holds your interest. Good job!

entity2d 2013-04-30 18:18

Simple, yet awesome game, and it fits perfectly with the theme. Great work!

garethiw 2013-04-30 19:05

Really fun game!

aestheticgamer 2013-04-30 19:17

A nice sort of rave-themed coin collecting game, the magnets make it a bit too easy but it still is a satisfying experience collecting the coins, and have a good sound effect and visual style to it to keep it interesting. Power-ups are a plus still, and it can be a fairly addicting title. Simplistic, but the style is really what is more interesting about it rather than how fun it is.

saampahlavan 2013-04-30 21:22

Fun. Music is supa cool. I wanna dance to it.

ilovepixel 2013-05-01 08:25

Very addictive I couldn't stop playing and shop a good plus!
Great Game!

roguenoodle 2013-05-01 08:57

Great music and use of the theme. Pretty addictive gameplay, too - if you can find a good way to port the controls to a touch screen, I think this would make a great mobile game.

ragzouken 2013-05-01 12:54

Neat game, but the super magnet makes it very easy!

minionstudios 2013-05-01 17:52

Great fit with the theme! I love the music and sounds. Also, it's quite mindless fun to just zip across the coins. Great work!

psenfilip 2013-05-02 15:20

Both concept and execution are great!

The music is awesome.
I do prefer playing it without any shop-items, even though there are places you cannot win at then end of the day. But hey, that's part of the deal.
Had great fun!

thijsku 2013-05-03 10:28

Great concept! It's so simple, but very fun to play. Perhaps the magnets make the game a bit too easy, altough you still need to watch out for the red blocks! I loved the music.

Good job! :)

xanjos 2013-05-03 21:58

This is a really simple concept that's executed rather beautifully. This game is really addictive and the music is pretty awesome.

tyro 2013-05-05 03:26

Simple, but surprisingly fun. The shop gave it replay value and I loved the soundtrack. Nice one!

eggdestroyer 2013-05-06 12:03

I felt hypnotized by the game, feeling an urge to play more and more. You did a good job.

Although, you managed to give the game a very frenetic pace thanks to the music and, well, the gameplay; yet you don't seem to reward speed skill too much. Maybe it would be great to have a "combo timer" of 1s or so, increasing each time you collect a coin within its range, and gaining extra coins & reseting to 0 when you fail to catch it, something like this, which would encourage the player to go faster and then hypnotize him even more.

Still, everything else is solid. Well done !
