Ohhh! The graphics is soo cool! *_*

caranha 2013-12-16 05:44

You really show your talent in that design. This is a very beautiful game!

Unfortunately the controls are really imprecise, which sucks for this kind of game. One thing that particularly bothers me is that the ball disappears from the world if we throw it out of the screen. Since the level pans around, I should be able to throw balls at platforms that I know are there, but can't yet be seen.

Thanks for the game!

syawqy 2013-12-16 07:16

great graphic
as caranha says, need to improve gameplay mechanic

carduus 2013-12-16 09:31

Hey !
Thanks for your comments.
@Caranha : i forget to active the camera for the Spirit-Ball, typo noobie error.
I reactivate it (the behavior was here, but inactive)
I'm not sure if i have the right to do this 7 hours after the deadline, so tell me and i desactive it.
By the way my teleport location detection is very imprecise, and i don't know now how to fix it.
I'll try to make an enhanced version to fix this.

gyncoca 2013-12-16 10:55

Super beau, mais dommage pour le gameplay, il se passe des trucs vraiment bizarre.
Mais bon travail. :)

rezoner 2013-12-16 14:45

Top notch graphics as always. I believe it can turn into a good puzzle game if you manage to made some riddles.

zebi24 2013-12-16 14:53

That graphics <3

the 2013-12-16 16:40

Hey, it is made in 48 hours but it is for LD28 instead of "LD48". Otherwise, nice art.

kill0u 2013-12-16 16:57

It is made for LD#28 as a LD48 (compo) entry. It's all good ;)

ravetcofx 2013-12-16 22:38

I realy like this game, but you did not include the source code, which is one of the rules.

travislucia 2013-12-17 00:43

Cool graphics, Good idea, Needs a aiming line or arch aimer or something.

pixelulsar 2013-12-17 01:13

Looks great!

loggs2 2013-12-17 01:20

The art was very nicely done. The arc of the balls were hard to estimate based on my mouse (I naturally felt like I wanted the ball to go where my mouse was). The mechanic was very interesting though and you could make a lot of cool puzzles with it with some fine tuning.

ismyhc 2013-12-17 02:26

Interesting Idea. I really like the graphics!

integershift 2013-12-17 03:04

The graphics were AMAZING!

makatak 2013-12-17 03:06

Truly amazing art! Unfortunately, there were some issues with the camera not panning low enough prevent this from being a 5/5 :(

blackpoison 2013-12-17 03:50

Love the graphics! And the idea to use the "teleporting ball" but i got a little stuck with controls, overall i really liked the game!

kunonooni 2013-12-17 04:13

You are an amazing artist. This game looks gorgeous! I love the mechanic. You should do a post compo version, add sounds and music and more levels. For what you've done though, good job.

codecranker 2013-12-17 04:20

Nice job. Great graphics.

biscuitdough 2013-12-17 07:56

Great art and solid concept, rare to see both in a compo entry, great job!

lorniebear 2013-12-17 08:01

Really fun!

btwj 2013-12-17 09:11

Great job on the art and animation. The style is very unique. Although there doesn't seem to be any audio which is a downside, some SFX would make the teleporting feel more powerful. But excellent work nonetheless, the control scheme is very ingenious

ekilibr 2013-12-17 10:40

Really great game ! Make me think about an indie game I saw few days ago, even if I can't remember the name of it.
Graphics are simple but very smooth. Love it :)

zitheker 2013-12-17 11:05

I'm in lvoe with this Game. You make very beautiful graphics and even if the Gameplay are not very easy (but with a little of experience, that block not too much), i like the idea of the ball who is in direct link with the Genius. Thanks you for that simply but fantastic game.

dustystylus 2013-12-17 12:00

Beautiful graphics, and I like the game mechanic too (which just needs a weeeee bit of tweaking).

lereveur 2013-12-17 12:22

Good job !
Hard mode is... Very hard. :D

phi6 2013-12-17 12:35

Unfortunately really easy to complete, but that is not the point, the level design can always be improved later. The game mechanic itself is a great idea, and the art style is absolutely fantastic. I really enjoyed this entry, thumbs up!

hazzen 2013-12-17 12:50

Graphics: great!

Controls: :(. Some sort of line showing the angle would be nice, and it appears you do a few things with deciding where it is valid to stand and not valid to stand that don't line up with the art. Plenty of times, the ball would hit something that looked like good ground, but I would just slide off.

psychomonster 2013-12-17 14:24

Awesome idea... I love teleportation and puzzles. Cool...
Artwork is fantastic. Would be cool to play a post compo polished version with more harder levels

2013-12-17 15:17

As an artist (for ludum jam purposes anyway) I'm quite jealous. The animations on the main character are gorgeous.

I'd love to see what you can could come up with given more time and coding practice. Nice work man :)

floetenmaul 2013-12-17 16:13

Great graphics, simple and fun gameplay. More precise controls and sound would help a lot.

mr-isaer 2013-12-17 16:33

i like it

andrerodrigues 2013-12-17 16:54

as others said, really great graphics and really cool idea but the controls could get an improvement, really imprecise and limited angle for you to throw the ball.

vikingpotato 2013-12-17 17:06

Great game and well implemented! Graphics are great! Good job fellow stencyler!

ako 2013-12-17 20:09

Great art. Keep working on the collision issues, but this was a major accomplishment. I am just learning code too and it takes awhile to figure out how to make stuff happen. But with your art skills you will be a force to be reckoned with once you master the code side! Well done!

tobiasnl 2013-12-17 20:14

Very nice graphics, and the gameplay mechanic was also pretty cool. Collission were a tiny bit buggy though.

taocayo 2013-12-17 20:18

Loved the mechanics (an aim guide would make it better), loved the puzzles and the graphics are gorgeous. Would love to play a longer version! Great job!

johnnysix 2013-12-17 20:35

Nice GFX, would be cool if you developed further and added some kind of aiming reticule, or parabolic arc to show the ball's intended movement.

dudsen 2013-12-17 21:50

Nice one. A bit to short i was thinking the first time. Damn, this is hard, I thought after that. Didn't managed this after 1000 tries :(
With some audio this stuff would be even better!

keithe 2013-12-17 21:51

Great art and a fun teleport mechanic. An aiming reticule would have been nice, as well as some other gameplay challenges to mix it up. Overall a solid entry!

blazingfanfish 2013-12-18 01:16

Nice game, good art. Would be better if you allow it to see the map~

And this would truly give a new meaning on "giving a piece of my mind"

wisegamer 2013-12-18 01:40

Best game I ever played in Ludum Dare 28. I am impressed that you did that with Stencyl!
I liked that he wished to become human but I wished that I could play with the human character.

cniangel 2013-12-18 03:01

Fun game. I like how you interpreted the theme. I wish there was music/audio to complete the mood.

whiteknife 2013-12-18 03:05

Amazing graphics and interesting gameplay mechanics! A truly awesome job!

christinaneofotistou 2013-12-18 03:12

So artistic and fun! Kudos, I enjoyed myself! +1 on the art style!

ihateatmfees 2013-12-18 04:52

great job, especially with the graphics. hardcore mode, that is no joke!

deathray 2013-12-18 04:59

Excellent graphics and really good gameplay. I stuck with it and beat the game! I gave only 1 star for overall though because, like someone mentioned, you have to include your source code.

cdgugler 2013-12-18 05:04

I love the graphics, looks really good.

angelk 2013-12-18 05:40

Really incredible graphics for 48 hours, looks great!

coldbrain 2013-12-18 05:59

Cool graphics and idea!

alismuffin 2013-12-18 07:51

Awesome entry! Unique movement.

eriku 2013-12-18 08:22

Very impressive. I'd like to add that it was fun discovering the "double" teleport - shooting long enough that the cooldown comes up, then immediately firing again despite falling afterwards allows for a trick shot that can speed up certain areas. Fun mechanic.

linuus 2013-12-18 08:55

LOVE the graphics!

drkrunk 2013-12-18 09:20

I really enjoyed this. Like everyone else, the graphics are amazing and really well-done! It was fun and interesting :)

lissar 2013-12-18 10:04

Gorgeous game! Best looking one I've seen, I think. Gameplay was interesting, but ultimately a little frustrating.

lightsoda 2013-12-18 10:46

Nice work, throwing the ball upwards was a bit awkward, I got stuck on the last level for a bit. Other than that, nicely done.

madflame991 2013-12-18 11:43

+ nice art style
+ innovative gameplay (really liked the "genius"-part)

- sometimes the ball just disappears when thrown

tinymoonstudios 2013-12-18 11:48

A nice effort I certainly like the graphics. However, I was rather put off by how informal the almighty supernatural being at the beginning was. I would suggest trying to find a way of conveying narrative with out using words as I would have much rather looked at a depiction of the story and objective then sat through the dialogue. But all the same, well done.

ras-lyon 2013-12-18 11:49

Wow, my first impression was that this could be a paid game. But I ended up getting frustrated early. It's a really fantastic concept, the kind of thing I've daydreamed about before. But the movement of the ball is a little too unpredictable. Still... wow.

orangeez 2013-12-18 12:15

Really nice! Beautifully drawn and cleverly executed.

recursor 2013-12-18 12:37

Where is a link to your source code?

2013-12-18 12:47

Neat, I love the sky and the black-drawn environment. The gameplay is definitely a plus. Great job.

samh 2013-12-18 12:48

Very good game, the mechanics need to be tweaked in order to be a bit less frustrating, but the graphics are gorgeous and the level design was nice.

carduus 2013-12-18 12:58

Hey !
Thw for youy comments
I'll post de source this evening, am not at home and my source is on my hom PC U_U.
The sources are in stencyl format so u will be able to read it if you DL stencyl !

ithildin 2013-12-18 14:07

Great art and awesome concept! Targetting is hard at times, where you have to guess a bit where your mind will go to, but the main idea is there, and it works very well. Congrats!!

pixelfan 2013-12-18 14:10

Great work. Graphics are really cool and i love the idea of being genius. And, i have to say it, i could'n beat the hard mode xD. I think it got a big potential.

brainless-games 2013-12-18 14:57

Greta game and graphics.

97percentawesome 2013-12-18 15:05

Amazign

x-or 2013-12-18 15:57

Awesome artwork! It was quite hard to estimate the angle of the shot. The hard part is really... hard btw. ^_^

sekaru 2013-12-18 16:14

Lovely art! Could do with some music though and like others have said, the main mechanic was a bit too imprecise.

xaychru04 2013-12-18 16:42

Really nice game, the gameplay is original, the teleportation is a bit weird sometimes, but the art and design is awesome. I enjoyed this game!

omaha 2013-12-18 17:09

I LOVE the graphics!!! And I enjoyed the controls too. Wish I could make sound for yoU! Thanks much

digihacker 2013-12-18 17:35

A very well done game !! Nice art, idea, game play !! Time to earn some buck with it ? xD

ghandhi 2013-12-18 17:41

That's a good graphics you build there.

sheepolution 2013-12-18 17:53

Really nice graphics! But the complete silence really ruins it. Any little sound would've done. Like when you teleport. The gameplay itself is okay.

teamquadratic 2013-12-18 19:29

Really cool interpretation of the theme
i can really see this being a real game

jaypc000 2013-12-18 19:38

The best way I can say this could be improved would be able to click and hold to show the arc of the Throw.

Otherwise great job!

ghostinthesoft 2013-12-18 20:05

Graphics are cool but it's hard to play

triplevisiongames 2013-12-18 21:13

Really nice graphics and it's really fun! It gets a bit frustrating after the 1st 2 pieces but only because of collision. Great idea too so high scores for innovation, gfx and mood for me!

gamelabbers 2013-12-18 21:28

Awesome graphics, cool animation, cool concept :) too bad that there is no sound and not more levels. Great that you got collisions working!

bugninja 2013-12-18 21:33

Man, that's is an insanely good game.

mephi 2013-12-18 22:36

Great graphics and idea! Only the sound is missing to complete it! I hope you'll polish it.
As said in some comments, controls need a bit tweaking or showing a prediction line. I guess some of the troubles there might be from Stencyl?

lasagnegames 2013-12-18 22:40

I really like the graphics and the concept.

lennaert 2013-12-18 22:56

Crazy pretty. The teleport throw is a little unpredictable, though; I often felt less like I attempting to utilize a skill and more just hoping that my click made it go the way I thought it would.

katamori 2013-12-19 00:04

Oh God, I haven't used Stencyl for a very long time! I didn't even know that 3.0 is already released! And dangit, you can do awesome stuffs with it - just take a look at this game!

catonmars 2013-12-19 10:03

Excellent graphic style! Good particle effects and characters. Innovative control mechanism. Overall I like this game. It would be even better to add some audio effects.

hd408 2013-12-19 20:54

Hit detection could be better, but graphics are quite nice.

delahee 2013-12-20 12:50

The game is good !
I've seen how you struggled all the weed end to complete it, i must say you've made a great job. You kept the flame to the end ! Way to go pal !

nelien 2013-12-20 14:58

Short and sweet -- great graphics and good concept. There were a few bugs here and there and I couldn't tell whether you could control the strength of the throw as well as the direction.

theholychicken 2013-12-20 19:27

Very cool!
Would've been nice to have a choice of which wish to get though!

saintheiser 2013-12-21 03:40

Good work! Like your visuals.
Targeting is worst but gameplay is fun itself.

atmospherium 2013-12-21 04:14

Really cool gameplay idea and excellent art. I really hope you develop this idea further.

jacklehamster 2013-12-21 22:42

5 stars graphics

rnlf 2013-12-22 01:23

Really great visual style (no wonder, you're a graphic artist :)). Too bad there were no sound effects, they would have added greatly to the game.

lorniebear 2013-12-22 16:07

Got to the end! Or so I thought... about to try hardcore mode

moosefly 2013-12-22 20:14

Yeah, like others have said the visuals are nice, but the gameplay needs to be improved. For instance a short trajectory display would make it much more enjoyable. Audio would also improve the experience. I think it could make a nice little puzzle game with the correct execution.

mrjordan 2013-12-22 23:11

Great game! Nifty graphics, no messing around with a backstory. Just a few quick lines and you're playing. Would have loved sound.

jishenaz 2013-12-24 18:43

Beautiful game with awesome mechanics!

dynad 2013-12-24 21:47

The graphics are amazing! too short but it was worth my time 100% =D

gatechgrad 2013-12-25 08:06

Really nice art style and neat concept. Sometimes it was hard getting the ball to go where I wanted it to go.

dodobird 2013-12-25 18:10

Great visuals!

iiechapman 2013-12-28 00:59

I love the graphics, the backgrounds are beautiful. The character is sweet looking. I want to be human too. Wonderful entry!

havana24 2013-12-29 13:01

Stunning visuals and a well made concept. Congrats! :)

striwx 2014-01-04 14:07

Like it. Need more precise controls and audio for a good mood. (love the graphics)

anoarith 2014-01-04 17:54

This game is genius !

nyrrrr 2014-01-05 01:16

veeeery good game. The only (big!) minus is the missing sound
Did you consider creating a post-jam version? The art style rocks!

aviktorov 2014-01-05 19:19

Amazing visuals! Gameplay mechanics are also very well crafted. Looking forward for more levels and story. Thank you! :)

deepnight 2014-01-06 21:21

The gameplay has some minor flaws (mostly due to hazardous controls), but it's very cool to play :)
You still amaze me more after each entry, you really can accomplish A LOT in 48h compo! :)
Well done!

Oh. And I will kick your ass on next LD.
