To download click the link then click the file drop down menu, and select download.

I downloaded it but couldn't play it due to an error.
missing sfml-graphics-2.dll

You can get the .dll's from the resource folder but to avoid having you do anything, I will put up a statically linked build.

no linux version :(

The source is there. There really aren't any windows dependencies. Except I use a windows function to hide the console. You just need to link the sfml libraries and I can never figure out how to do that correctly on Linux.

I like the idea of the game with reflections. Rather simple.
I respect you ran out of time though. I feel sorry for you.

Quite nice to have a concept from the theme. I can see how it fits.

To be honest, it's impossible to beat him.
Now is your chance to fix that because you made something unbeatable!

Took me a bit to get the game working :b, LudumDare29/LudumDare29.exe didn't work, but LudumDare29/Resources/LudumDare29.exe worked! Interesting, I like the idea of using reflections as behind the surface. Sorry you ran out of time, though I think one small thing that could have improved the game a lot would be a simple set of instructions, so that you know to tap the right arrow key repeatedly. (I didn't find that out until after I tried the game, once I read your description :b). Also, it would have been nice to be able to restart after a win or loss. It's really cool that you made the engine though :D!

I win! Well, it's a game, and it's a complete game where you can win or lose.

I managed to win! It may not be the game you wanted to make, but at least you finished something in 48h! (in C++ nonetheless, that's a feat in itself imho!) Keep it up!

I win!
Hehe, props for doing it all yourself in C++!
I enjoyed your story as written in the description, would have been fun to have the text as an intro :-)

Sorry to hear that your initial idea didn't pan out, but congratulations on getting something out at least! It's a fun little game :)
