I like the game, but sometimes I seem to lose at random

corrigan_sam 2013-04-29 14:21

Yea, that can happen, its a bug which will be fixed :)

xaychru04 2013-04-29 15:01

Nice little game, I think you can't make it more minimalist ;)

overv 2013-04-29 15:02

Simple little game. Just fix the random losing and it's good :)

casimps1 2013-04-29 15:07

Yeah, I think I may have been randomly losing too. Or maybe I just can't perceive when the light is on or off.

Also, the game over message is a little odd: "You let MORE THAN 3 lights turn on"? Shouldn't that say "ALL 3"?

corrigan_sam 2013-04-29 16:33

Yea, It is a typo, i will change that, the rules allow it :D

Fits the theme perfectly!

Decent game, although like everyone else you can lose at random. Very minimalistic.

Maybe a better feedback on the lighted state should improve the overall experience. Very minimalist with somethig quite strange, like participating to a psychocognitive experience. Thank you

corrigan_sam 2013-04-29 16:44

Thanks for the kind words everyone, i have fixed the bug and typo, as the rules allow it :D

Very minimalistic. Easy at first but gets a bit hard later. You could map the button to some keys and maybe add more squares while yo progress.

zekyon 2013-04-29 17:22

The only word to describe this is minimalist, good job!

corrigan_sam 2013-04-29 17:22

Well i wanted to keep this game as minimal as possible. It started with a hard mode, however it didn't really fit with the game, so i scrapped it. If i was continuing this game i would add buttons as well as mouse, as it would probably make it more of a casual game! Thanks for playing!!

Very minimalistic. It seems all three can be lit in one frame, so it's an insta-kill, which happened to my twice within the first 10 clicks, and then on 64th. I didn't notice the speed picking up either, which would have been cool, along with steadier lights :P

corrigan_sam 2013-04-29 17:40

Yea, There are a few issues, but i am happy with how it came out. I wanted to keep the game as close to them theme as possible. I also wanted to keep it very casual and peaceful, so i decided against a steady increase in difficulty :D

spiridion 2013-04-29 18:05

Very minimal gameplay. A difficulty ramp would be nice.

I like how as simple as it is it still manages to get really frantic and tense. Good job!

tentontoon 2013-04-30 06:26

Well, you sure fully embraced the theme like no other games I've seen on this compo, yet. Kudos to you for that :)
You could have mapped the 3 colors to some keys, and take the difficulty up a couple notches.

Congratulations! :)

I kept missing the buttons, clicking outside the window. You might want to extend the edges of the program, so if a player overshoots the button while moving the mouse, they still click inside the program. I played up until I had 100 pointsusing a tablet, worked a lot better than with a mouse.

omaromeir 2013-04-30 06:43

Cool idea, I encountered a bug at the beginning where I lost twice in a row. It worked the third time and I got a score of 66. My only complaint is that it was a bit slow, I expected to go faster. Good luck ;).

atraxgames 2013-04-30 13:23

Well this surely is minimalistic :)

corrigan_sam 2013-04-30 14:14

Thanks guys for playing. I agree that it could increase in speed a little, but i wanted to keep the game as casual as possible :D Thanks for all the kind comments!

klianc09 2013-04-30 15:48

Really minimalistic... but have you ever considered... adding more colors? (also random losing bug)

netmute 2013-05-01 19:56

I'm on a Mac and can't rate. Sorry :(

thephantom 2013-05-02 08:03

great game and very innovative idea

corrigan_sam 2013-05-02 20:34

Sorry about the mac, next LD i will defiantly make a mac export

granada 2013-05-03 16:46

Really minimalistic. Nice entry.

killedbyapixel 2013-05-03 16:53

Cool idea! There is not enough contrast when a color is lit up. Maybe make the colors go from darker (or even black) to the full color, rather making it more white.

cosinep 2013-05-06 01:19

I cheated. Touchscreen :D

ecool377 2013-05-11 06:07

cool
