3 levels now... a sort-of tutorial by levels approach.

SuperlevelSebastian 2013-04-28 13:41

The Windows-download-link doesn't work.

mrexcessive 2013-04-28 14:05

@SuperlevelSebastian think I fixed that now, thank you for reporting.

mrexcessive 2013-04-29 04:19

If someone could check the Linux version I'd be very grateful! Will ask in IRC once back from work...

While the graphics are a little silly, looking, this is a pretty neat maze idea. The fact that your ability to move a direction can get taken away again adds to the depth. It's kind of unpolished, and short, but it's definitely creative.

Great idea, I liked it. First game so far that I'm sad has ended so fast (though I played not so much yet).

tozy 2013-04-29 07:58

Innovative mechanic! I don't liked the other aspects of the game that much. The first levels make a good tutorial, congratz!

mrexcessive 2013-04-29 16:39

Thanks for the nice comments... yer apologies graphics, programmer art ftw !

umu 2013-04-29 17:22

Hey, that's really good! A neat mechanic and stellar tutorialization!

languard 2013-04-29 18:00

While it fits well with the theme, it otherwise feels like an average puzzle type game.

hnjslater 2013-04-29 18:45

Pretty cool, looked a bit pants on my monitor, the levels were right down the bottom left hand side, barely on the screen! Very good mechanic though

tau7153 2013-04-29 18:46

Very innovative puzzle game, well done!

kewry 2013-04-29 19:17

Amazing concept, quite fun and challenging

nseward 2013-04-29 20:29

Great puzzler. I love the tutorial levels. So few spend the time to make the game easy to approach.

siondream 2013-04-29 21:09

Great concept, I loved the puzzle-maze style and the restrictions on movement.

khaldrin 2013-04-30 18:51

Creative idea. I like the concept of giving/taking the control keys. Nice piano death music btw.

smilingcat 2013-04-30 19:44

Very creative puzzle game! Nicely done.

dookie 2013-04-30 22:40

Not bad. Giving and taking controls like pieces on the board is a great idea. You could probably do more with that.

cherrynukacola 2013-05-01 03:43

Haha, nice mechanic!

mrexcessive 2013-05-01 03:57

@Khaldrin thanks for the music appreciation!

ryusui 2013-05-01 05:07

Love the puzzle concept - I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it before!

maxszlagor 2013-05-01 19:59

Nice concept! It took me a while to understand what was going on, but then it grew on me as I figured out how to move around. Specifically, I had a hard time understanding the idea behind storing up key actions, and it still isn't clear to me what makes them disappear, which makes planning a strategy harder. Trial and error worked pretty well though, and I enjoyed the experience. Thanks for sharing!

toadfrogs 2013-05-02 11:21

The puzzle element is very unique to me... Good work :D

itszn 2013-05-02 14:52

Its a nice idea, would have helped to give more instruction at the begging, idk

jlauener 2013-05-02 19:28

That's a good mechanic, that gives interesting gameplay! The levels are good but I wished there was more.

With better graphics and audio it could have been a real contender!

jiddo 2013-05-02 21:16

Some nice level design in this game!

mrexcessive 2013-05-03 05:44

Thanks for all the nice comments. @Dir3kt I may Jam next time for this very reason... My artistic abilities are placed near last in any group... Sound design I believe could have been better with 2 hours more. Main thing I missed on was more levels... Should have put some more simpler ones after lv4 and then more complex ones at the end.

idovoodoo 2013-05-03 14:10

Nice idea, I like it a lot. Well done :)

tcstyle 2013-05-03 20:38

Great puzzle concept. Was fun to play. Sound was okay. I liked the misguiding pieces.

saggiosoft 2013-05-06 13:17

Really nice puzzle!

rafaelsales 2013-05-07 13:11

Intelligent puzzle and simple but innovative gameplay. Congrats!

minionstudios 2013-05-08 20:38

Well thought out and really fun puzzler! I love the key removal mechanics!

m64 2013-05-08 22:16

Simplicity that quickly builds towards complexity - great!

lightnarcissus 2013-05-09 03:40

Weird graphics but I still liked the idea behind it. For 48hrs, I think you did a fairly decent job. :)

bobiniki 2013-05-09 17:18

Wow that us realy original game mechanic. Quite fun and makes you take desisions.

avidgamernino 2013-05-10 22:41

Is that a "render cliouds" in the background? I enjoyed having to work with what controls are taken away. Good take on the theme. I can't say anything bad.

hgouveia 2013-05-11 09:11

Very challenging game, i love it

mrexcessive 2013-05-12 18:20

@avidgamerNino Background is a plane being looked at by a "3D" camera, separate to the 2D one doing the plane. Used GIMP to create clouds and then tile. Small script rotates the background plane slowly back and forth independently of all else - I added this fairly early on and never had time to put something more interesting!

sylvain-p 2013-05-14 21:20

The concept is pretty cool but the graphics are horrible sorry.

mrexcessive 2013-05-15 18:55

I know... I'm a programmer without much of an eye for visual quality...

tentontoon 2013-05-16 05:33

Nice little puzzle game. The idea is interesting, although I think some explanation of the core mechanics would be nice, even though you can understand everything that's going on after just 2 levels.

It lacks a certain punch, though; some more "daring" level design. And it certainly would benefit from a post-compo redesign on the visual side. But, all in all, the important thing is there: the core idea and game mechanics.

Keep it up! :)
