What the twitter, man...
Sorry dude, but I'm not going to authenticate my twitter to play your game. :-( I wont rate it, but you may want to fix that.
interestion idea, but even if i had twitter .. but don't stop the innovations!
Apologies; I didn't read the full instructions. Didn't realize it was a multiplayer. That's a clever idea.
I apologize to all the folks who don't have twitter... but listen: not everyone gets to be a hero.
Good idea! Anyway, can someone please give me a heart? Pleassse! You can find me under this name (or maybe nicolasdet)
Ha ha! Thanks, you are the first! I will give you MY HEART! (but you need three to get the sword...)
I don't understand the complaints about Twitter; the game only asks to read your tweets and see who you follow, something anyone can do. The real problem is that I could not play the game at all. When I loaded the web version I just got a flickering screen :(
Oh! What browser and OS?
I tried passing the guys at the top right until I gave up. Then I realized I can go for the sword. So I went there. Tried picking it. Pressed x and I was asked for a name. So I entered another account I own. And then I got "game over" reloaded and were stuck in an "game over"-loop.
So ratings may be better if I could see more of the game.
Maybe you could explain why this game needs twitter.
Fun idea, great use of theme! the game flashes a lot
Same here, web version flickers :/
Chrome on osx
Cbeed: Read description...
@Cbeed: I agree that the in-game instructions could use work. This game is opaque, but with very little reward for those who appreciate/figure it out. I plan on extending it post-jam to make it more worth the effort. Thanks for playing!
Also, yeah: perma-death! So be careful with your hearts.
Damn I love Zelda-like games. Too bad I don't have a twitter account.
The concept floors me. Love it. The game needs work, though. But you know that. =)
Interesting concept, but don't have twitter.
Hey, it's Ted Brown of Oreganik! We talked about Chess Heroes at SIX. Your words, they fill me with joy! I'm definitely going to spend some hours this/next month trying to add a compelling zelda-like to my high-concept zelda-like. ^o^//
In particular, I want the player to have to keep getting more and more hearts to progress... maybe as many as 20!
I may have broken it by giving my heart to myself. When it asked for my handle, I was all like "Hmm, maybe this is so that whoever gets my heart can know of my sacrifice." (In this scenario, I guess I thought that the heart would go to someone at random haha.
Nice use of the theme, though!
I like the idea, would be cool to see it developed beyond what you got here in the 48h with some pixelly zelda style art and more solid movement. Are the red guys swarming around other people? I got a pop-up asking if I wanted to give a heart, just before I died vibrating on the bottom of the screen. :D
Ha ha, don't give your heart to yourself! Careful with that thing, you only get one!
I don't want to authenticate twitter to play a game. Sorry.
Unfortunatly, the game is very buggy. (Chromium & ubuntu)
@anttiviljami, as mentioned above, the game asks for read-only permission which is exactly the same as me reading your twitter account off your LD profile (which I just did).
Read the artists statement, and I love the idea! Sadly it didn't really translate into the game. 5 on innovation and theme.
Great concept, high points on theme. Crashed several times while moving between screens (as you are aware).
The whole Twitter thing is a barrier to entry. Sorry.
link for web doesn't work
interesting idea but the game is a bit too glitchy for me. How do I give my heart?
NVM, I guess a monster ate it
Ack, forgot my twitter account's login. Sadly couldn't play it. Maybe it's possible to get my twitter-followers without authenticating?
Interesting take on the theme.
