I freaking love the idea behind this game. It would of kept me playing longer if the difficulty curve wasn't so massive. You should try making an A* agent that solves the levels and upload a video of it completing all of the levels. Props for the awesome concept. Arrows should be shown on the cubes and point toward the direction it'll be shot at and there should be something indicating a moving wall because it made it a little hard to solve some levels without that. The lighting engine is also pretty nice.

I know man, I spent too much time on level 6 and never got a chance to add more, level 3 should be more like level 5, level 4 should be around 8 or so, and level 6 should be more like 15... :P but I ran out of time. I put in the notes the description of how the dart shooters work, hope it helps. I'm off to go play your game now. ;)

Love the concept and the levels. Awesome work!

I like the gameplay. Nice job.
I only see one problem: I don't know how programming in Game Studio works but you should not update the position of your rockets only when an input is detected. You should have a main loop that keeps updating these things every x milliseconds. But maybe this behavior is intended?

yes, everything is supposed to freeze when you stop moving, this will be more apparent in the post-compo version. funny thing Cthulhu: I just played your game. Awesome work man, it was fantastic.

Okay, I'm sorry, but that download is NOT Windows & Mac compatible. It's Windows only. .EXE files are not runnable on Mac.

A really cool game. I love the asthetics and the innovative gameplay and level design. But sometimes the game feels a bit punishing more than difficult.

Really fun puzzle kind of game. :) I liked that the time stopped when you stopped moving and that you could play the same level over and over, because that was really needed after some levels when it got really hard. :D

Nice graphics too. :)

More levels would be really nice. :D

to SkyTheCoder,
Sorry, I'll fix that.

Really liked this game. Tricky and fits the theme well. Nice graphics too, great job!

good graphics, especially the lightning effects. very hard thought, and in a lot of cases that just has to do with the mechanics, for example: when you walk toward and reach a wall, and hold down the button, the "character" stops but time goes on ticking. and it's really difficult to get into narrow pathways, most of the time it seems like i may have missed it by a millimetre, and so tries to fix this but of course get hit by some dart instead.

i had fun though, it's a very good concept.

generalgore 2013-09-02 03:48
