Good job! Very satisfying firing the laser everywhere :)

ludipe 2013-04-29 09:46

I liked the idea but found the game a bit too easy. Once you get the laser there's no challenge so It'd be interesting if the laser was harder to get. Well done!

kefir 2013-04-29 09:47

Very nice game! I finished it. Thought I missed some dangerous in invisible parts.
BTW have you played this game? :)http://www.kongregate.com/games/mofunzone/black-thing

gre 2013-04-29 09:48

This is really good mister :)
I want more hard core maps now!

steveschnepp 2013-04-29 10:38

A little WTF moment at the beginning, but quite fine after you understood.

Levels do get somewhat evil later on :)

brian-corr 2013-04-29 11:59

This is good. As others have said, it's a bit easy mode once you have the laser. You could solve this by either limiting the ammo of the laser, or shortening those sections so they serve more as a reward and don't get tedious.

Very nice mood and sound :) I'll be stealing this idea :P

bummzack 2013-04-29 12:28

Great game. Love the audio and the design. This idea has potential... would love to see more levels and other "puzzles" involving the laser.

frib 2013-04-29 13:57

The audio was nice, and firing the laser to find a path was satisfying. Maybe for difficulty's sake the decals should remain for only a second or two? But it looks nice!

ttakamoto 2013-04-29 14:09

I think it was really good. I mean, I played until the end and really think your strong point is innovation. Congratz.

andygo 2013-04-29 14:37

Nice mood.
I'd like to play more :) (maybe the level design could be more challenging).

andrewshouldice 2013-04-29 15:35

The piano vs synth is really effective! Nice work.

stqn 2013-04-29 15:42

Nice though a bit too easy I guess (and white). The white walls looked like a bug but I see it’s the same in your screenshot :).

thirteenwb 2013-04-29 15:49

Really liked the graphics of the laser and shooting it was fun, but once you got it the levels seemed to lose a lot of their difficulty. Cool game though, nice job :)

gizmo 2013-04-29 15:51

awesome weapon sound! got me hooked for quite a while!

alanzucconi 2013-04-29 16:11

A very interesting concept! :-)
I really like the way you are highlighting the wall with your laser thing! :-)

doctor-broccoli 2013-04-29 16:51

Cool concept, it looks neat and it's pretty cool to scorch the landscape with my giant throbbing laser of death.
My biggest criticism would be that there is no real challenge to it. The game just switches from "frustrating" to "piss-easy" once you get the laser.

tonic 2013-04-29 17:07

Whoa. The gameplay itself is not that special, but I love the effect the level uncovering is based on, down to the brutal sound it makes!

netguy204 2013-04-29 18:54

Love the concept but also found it frustrating... conflicted? I know.

When I teleported I couldn't tell if I had completed a level or lost somehow. The sense of progressing (or regression...i'm still not sure) wasn't there to pull me along and keep me playing.

The music that played in response to what I did was brilliant. I look forward to reading your postmortem.

geckojsc 2013-04-29 19:13

Really nice concept! I especially liked it when I noticed the unseen force, erasing away all my efforts to uncover the level. A shame it couldn't have been a bit longer or the concept explored more, but it's neat!

daniel 2013-04-29 19:31

Fun little game :) Would love to see the laser mechanic as part of a larger platformer.

psenfilip 2013-04-29 19:51

That was a fun little experience! Quite refreshing for some reason.

jlauener 2013-04-30 07:07

Good entry. Was a bit lost before getting the first gun;) The way you put the background/effect sounds is working nicely!

gabehollombe 2013-04-30 07:30

Love the laser sound. This reminds me of the 3D game where you run around with a paintball gun and have to paint the world to see it. Definitely minimalist. I feel like some sort of antagonist might add a sense of urgency or challenge to the game, but perhaps that's not in the minimalist spirit?

gravel 2013-04-30 09:29

Fire this laser with my headset at 100% has been the coolest thing I have done today.
I totally love the beginning of the game and your minimalist approach.
Really good!

hegemege 2013-04-30 10:42

That was a lot of fun! Nice sound effects, but the game is way too short :< Neat concept that should be extended! I think the maps were spot on - not too difficult or too easy. Nice one

nilstastic 2013-04-30 10:45

Pros: The laser-eye-gun-thing, excellent!
Cons: Nothing really, perhaps something so do?

In the beginning i got the gun and then walked around thinking "oh, very minimalistic, but no graphics... annoying".. Then when i was aiming to close the windows i shot a red beam by accident. =)

wan 2013-04-30 11:41

Really original game! Shooting the laser is so much fun, especially with these cool electronic sounds. Very inspiring.

The only thing I missed is some excuse to add some heavy beats on top of the laser bass :D Maybe an enemy shooting at you at a fixed interval?

split82 2013-04-30 16:41

Really interesting!

entity2d 2013-04-30 16:43

Very nice, reminds me of the Unfinished Swan

jellycakes 2013-04-30 16:44

Pretty cool game, interesting concept never seen before. Easy to play and rewarding when you get the laser! Good job!

ilovepixel 2013-04-30 19:37

This game was really great! amazing mechanics.

dohan 2013-05-01 11:37

Liked the way the music advanced only when you jump, giving it a more minimalistic feeling. Nice game!

uhfgood 2013-05-01 20:03

Quite interesting take on the minimalism. and it's funny when the level started disappearing even after you shot it. Sound got annoying after a while.

lidfrid 2013-05-02 07:37

wow! At the beginning was a little hard but when take the laser for the first time it become easier.
Cool effects and sound with the weapon i really like it very much, and that synth sound is Awesome! Good job!

lorancou 2013-05-02 16:11

Great ... hard to get the gun ... than fun to shoot everywhere

spiridion 2013-05-03 18:39

Got slow in Firefox once the things that eat the level came into play. Eventually couldn't play because it got too unresponsive (yes, I know, use a less sucky browser)

shellfishgames 2013-05-05 13:37

Very nice!

blackdogg 2013-05-05 13:54

Very nice game ! No real challenge but it doesn't matter to me. Playing inside of that big canvas and revealing the world is really satisfying and enjoyable, well done.

314 2013-05-05 15:24

Moment of discovery of the laser - brilliant. It seems like a delicate, poetic game and then you get the eye laser. DUMMMMMMM! Great.

martijn 2013-05-05 18:13

Fun, but a bit short

juaxix 2013-05-05 19:08

I want more.
It reminds me of "Unfinished Swan" but in 2D, well done

stevejohnson 2013-05-05 22:51

This is baller. The laser eyes sound effect is amazing. Plays well too.

cwilloughby 2013-05-06 04:51

Super awesome. I love the concept of uncovering the level like this. Also the art + audio tied together felt great. Nice work!

alcazar 2013-05-06 08:57

Il est juste génial votre jeu :)

beldarak 2013-05-06 23:27

Nice ambiance !

matthias_zarzecki 2013-05-09 12:41

Etra-points for allowing Azerty-layouts :D

chickentonight 2013-05-10 02:12

Took me a second to realize what was going on, but after I found out, I really liked it! Great idea, and it's fun.

jonapulse 2013-05-11 23:06

Awesome. The first moment when you get the laser is especially fantastic--you didn't expect it to happen, it's really cool, the sound is good and surprising. I'm less interested with the game when it wants me to find the gun again.
