What the twitter, man...

cheshyr 2013-12-16 14:05

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.

postmodestie 2013-12-16 14:08

interestion idea, but even if i had twitter .. but don't stop the innovations!

cheshyr 2013-12-16 14:10

Apologies; I didn't read the full instructions. Didn't realize it was a multiplayer. That's a clever idea.

arrogant-gamer 2013-12-16 14:23

I apologize to all the folks who don't have twitter... but listen: not everyone gets to be a hero.

nikincz 2013-12-16 14:29

Good idea! Anyway, can someone please give me a heart? Pleassse! You can find me under this name (or maybe nicolasdet)

arrogant-gamer 2013-12-16 14:49

Ha ha! Thanks, you are the first! I will give you MY HEART! (but you need three to get the sword...)

danman9914 2013-12-16 15:05

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 :(

arrogant-gamer 2013-12-16 15:08

Oh! What browser and OS?

cbeed 2013-12-16 15:41

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.

kewry 2013-12-16 15:41

Fun idea, great use of theme! the game flashes a lot

linuus 2013-12-16 15:43

Same here, web version flickers :/

Chrome on osx

Cbeed: Read description...

arrogant-gamer 2013-12-16 15:49

@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.

Oreganik 2013-12-16 21:05

The concept floors me. Love it. The game needs work, though. But you know that. =)

thatguy 2013-12-16 21:06

Interesting concept, but don't have twitter.

arrogant-gamer 2013-12-16 21:41

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!

stonemonkeystudios 2013-12-17 20:48

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!

johnnysix 2013-12-17 20:55

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

arrogant-gamer 2013-12-18 09:51

Ha ha, don't give your heart to yourself! Careful with that thing, you only get one!

zuige 2013-12-20 21:44

I don't want to authenticate twitter to play a game. Sorry.

grifdail 2013-12-20 22:17

Unfortunatly, the game is very buggy. (Chromium & ubuntu)

arrogant-gamer 2013-12-20 23:00

@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).

blooperly 2013-12-21 03:21

Read the artists statement, and I love the idea! Sadly it didn't really translate into the game. 5 on innovation and theme.

gungnir 2013-12-21 03:45

Great concept, high points on theme. Crashed several times while moving between screens (as you are aware).

mental-atrophy 2013-12-21 23:06

The whole Twitter thing is a barrier to entry. Sorry.

01rafael 2013-12-22 00:26

link for web doesn't work

jacklehamster 2013-12-22 00:44

interesting idea but the game is a bit too glitchy for me. How do I give my heart?

jacklehamster 2013-12-22 00:45

NVM, I guess a monster ate it

jod 2014-01-02 14:53

Ack, forgot my twitter account's login. Sadly couldn't play it. Maybe it's possible to get my twitter-followers without authenticating?

bradleysmith 2014-01-04 19:55

Interesting take on the theme.
