I can only say this was a very epic game :)!

deige101 2013-04-29 16:00

amazing idea. i really loved it!

thirteenwb 2013-04-29 18:01

Fun game, shame there aren't more levels :)

charlesboury 2013-04-29 18:02

Yeah it's good. Transitions are well made.

minism 2013-04-29 18:04

Great idea, I liked it a lot! There's a couple simple balance fixes you could make: the breakout ball should move faster, and the firing rate of the player against the space invader should probably be limited, he was too easy to kill :)

Nice experience and story :) It must hae taken a while to make these transitions

Interesting little thing you've made. It's nice to acknowledge that Pong was not the most compelling game in the long run, we tend to idolize it. Granted, I woudl take Breakout/Arkanoid of the 3.

I enjoyed the style as well. The relationship to minimalism does seem tenuous at best.

hegemege 2013-04-29 18:26

Really nice idea, and good job at making it so minimalistic. :D

hubert 2013-04-29 18:31

I found it interesting. Would be cool to see how far you could push the concept.

mesene 2013-04-29 19:05

@All thanks for your acknowledgments!!
for English speakers, how did it felt at listening an Spanish narrator? helps on the mood?
Thanks for playing!

Nice :)

Wow, this is a beautiful video game history interactive documentary! You pulled it off really well! The gameplay and narrative didn't feel tact-on, they complement each other!

I think you manage to combine the two media together really well! Something that has puzzled a lot of game-devs and film-makers for a long time!

Great work! I did something quite similar for the 24th LD (theme "evolution"), but your game is quite a bit more polished. I liked the narrative a lot, and the general style of the whole thing. It feels a bit like an interactive documentary about video games. Short, but I really enjoyed it!

Nice melange of the classics. Good work.

Here's a hint for "RED" in PRISMA: match the two orbs with the same BRIGHT color. Timing is important.

messiano 2013-05-02 04:43

Very compelling, I wish it was a bit longer! Congrats.

donan 2013-05-02 12:54

Concept is awesome. Too bad it was too short :/

mesene 2013-05-02 13:08

Thanks for your reviews! I'm glad you had a nice time playing "More than Bricks" I'm working on more levels, expect a postcompo version!

agmcleod 2013-05-02 13:09

Love the idea, and very well executed. Needs an end screen though :)

killedbyapixel 2013-05-02 15:54

Great idea and awesome work! Would be cool to see this continue. You didn't need the voiceovers. Also you should try applying a noise removal filter to your recordings to get rid of the hiss.

lassedissing 2013-05-02 17:01

Awesome concept. But I think the voice acting were more of a distraction for most non-spanish people.

albertosm 2013-05-02 19:16

Nice game! The narrator gives a very personal feeling to it. :)

voidstar69 2013-05-02 21:49

Nice quick overview of the early days of gaming, when minimalism ruled.

fastboxster 2013-05-03 14:25

Wow, you pulled that together fast. The time lapse made it very interesting to see it come along. You should make it into a full-on game, sort of the history of gaming all the way up to current game tech. Great job!

infernet89 2013-05-04 00:57

Woha, it's true! We have a freakily similar concept, but your is way more elegant than mine! 5star for originality, even i just seen the same thing :P

granada 2013-05-05 20:03

Cool transitions. Nice way to tell a story. Good job!

aquilicoco 2013-05-06 14:42

I love the story.
Good work.

jimday 2013-05-08 16:32

slick!

foyosoft 2013-05-11 20:31

A bit short. I liked the story.

cambrian_era 2013-05-19 15:28

Very clever. I dig it.

hgouveia 2013-05-20 13:30

Really creative game ! but soo short!
