Can't run, won't start

Interesting little racing game! I found going past the line then backing up and going forward again aloud me to win automatically. good sound though :3

TheColorMan : Read the description of the game ;)

[In fact you can beat the bot, but I didn't increase it speed because it render bad]

Really a good idea !

I couldn't get the game to start on a Macbook Pro running Mac OS 10.6.8.

Legina : I have no idea how it work for mac, but have you got this : Mac : http://download.mono-project.com/archive/2.10.11/macos-10-x86//MonoFramework-MRE-2.10.11.macos10.xamarin.x86.dmg
?

Never thought of that !

I found a bug - pressing M to enter menu doesn't work, you have to press ;

Not a bad idea for a game. I enjoyed it overall, and with alittle work on more puzzles and more work to polish the game as a whole, I think it would really be a doozy :) Good job!

what's the game with the toothpicks

spriters2000 2013-04-30 18:43

What's the game with the toothpicks?

minionstudios 2013-04-30 18:44

Very nice! I had problems because my 'M' key did nothing in the Windows version, but I love the execution of this idea!

An excellent puzzle game that hits the theme and fulfills its premise perfectly. Bravo! I have two minor complaints, though: the visualization for solving level 2 doesn't make sense to me and I had to hit ";" rather than "m" to go to the next level.

(By the way, I was able to play this on OS X without any trouble)

tainted_code 2013-04-30 19:29

I see what you did there! ;)

rayz 2013-04-30 19:45

Easy? Darn pretty hard :D

kernel_panic 2013-04-30 20:21

I found the game pretty easy, but the last one had a wierd solution. Still, it was a fun short game.

You might be interested to know that your Linux version is just another Windows version (so it didn't work). Also, what they say about M and ; is true.

matheod 2013-04-30 23:03

Yes sorry about the M key, CraftStudio bind key to position on keyboard, which is pretty cool for WASD key but bad for other :p

spiridion 2013-05-04 19:12

Controls were a bit sloppy - why does the car game use keyboard but the other two use mouse? The mouse didn't work half the time on the matchstick game. Concept is sound though, just needs some work.

thepsc1997 2013-05-11 16:54

Woow! Game is beautiful! :)
Great idea! :)
But... I have little problem... My car have problem...

haha :D

Didn't quite understand the tic-tac-toe game? I'm you win because you have 2 diagonal x's? May have been good to highlight the part of the board that was used after you win.
The third game was also a bit ambiguous on what you were supposed to do. If I hadn't just run into the game talking to a friend a few days ago I would have been lost.
Didn't have any issues with controls, but found the solutions rather quickly. The music did pretty well at aiding to the overall mood, though.

Nice game, well done!
