Loved the trippy atmosphere.

So that's how antivirus works.....

Controls kept locking up. When it worked, however, it is a novel concept and a good game.

I really enjoyed your use of ambient background sound effects. I wish that the mouse was used for aiming and turning, or that there was some way of snapping the camera back to the way the player is facing. Really fun sphereworld, though!

matthias_zarzecki 2014-08-25 03:39

ohhh, psychedelic :)

It took me a minute to figure out what was going on. I must have moved the mouse when it first loaded so I couldn't see my cube. I just heard explosions and my firing, but couldn't make sense of what was what. It was only when I used the mouse again to scan all over the sphere that I realized it wasn't an FPS, but a Third Person when I found my cube. Once I got that sorted out, it was more fun but using mouselook at all throws me off because I lose my cube again.

Graphics and sounds are pretty cool!

Loved the colors and effects. I found this game very relaxing :D (I would like to shoot with the right mouse click). Congrats!

It looks good. I'm very interested to see how you are handling the movement of player and environment, and how the textures and light works. Still a good effort, good on you for submitting.

stencyltuo 2014-08-25 03:51

You certainly captured the idea you wanted to, but I do agree with the unfinished nature of it. Also, besides a slight Tron-like feeling, I didn't see how it fit the theme. As a heads up to other players, don't forget that ctrl + W closes your window (and thus the game) as I did :P.

lambomang 2014-08-25 04:02

Well that's probably the trippiest I'll play this LD xD
Would've been nice if you could use the mouse for turning.

geckoo1337 2014-08-25 05:55

Strange environment but I like. Well done. Cool FX ++

frr171 2014-08-25 06:41

Great graphics - my primary gripe was that it's awkward to shoot and move with the same hand.

budda 2014-08-25 06:48

Awesome looking game, surprisingly easy to cheat the levels though - holding an arrow key to spin around and spamming fire.
Cool concept though, well done.

fserb 2014-08-25 07:02

great graphics. I really liked the concept. I think I had more fun when there was around 10 enemies to kill, because I stopped spamming the shot. When it got to 3 enemies it was a bit annoying, since I couldn't find them for a while. Good concept though. It might become awesome. :)

masterhyjinx 2014-08-25 09:31

Good job Drakfyre! This is the first LD30 project that I've wanted to download to take a peek at how you accomplished that look and movement. It's sweet! Someone want to teach me how to use GIT? Hahaha.

crowbeak 2014-08-25 09:49

Having the look and the aiming decoupled makes this game very difficult to control. I do like the graphics, though.

nanofi 2014-08-25 11:07

The atmosphere is brilliant :D However I managed to beat the first level by simply pressing A and tapping Ctrl.

hyoga-3d 2014-08-25 13:59

Very crazy game, reminded me of ghost in the shell.

jharler 2014-08-25 17:35

Pretty cool game. I would recommend making your cube stand out from the background a little more. When using the mouse to look around, it can be tricky to re-orient yourself back to your cube. I really liked the visual effects.

Also want to thank you for your Cooking with Unity YouTube videos. I've learned a lot from them and always enjoy watching.

Please try out my game and let me know what you think!

wbwelcomeback 2014-08-25 19:46

Awesome graphics and FX! Definitely one of my favorites so far! And now I'm going to watch your making of :)

ossi 2014-08-26 08:34

Controls take a while to get use to, but the graphics are really impressive. Feels like I'm in some kind of computer world! Well done!

lokiman 2014-08-26 17:34

It has a nice Tron/Matrix vibe, hasn't it?

Btw there is a bug - I was caught inside the evil "GlitchPillar" :D

ping78 2014-08-26 19:49

Good game for 10 hours Max. It reminds me of GridCruiser a bit, the grid you are on, the main character and those pillars. Graphics are great, especially if you think about that there is just cubes, sphere and some additive particles.

By the way, great videos! :)

marcellus 2014-08-27 06:15

If my computer didn't get that warm while playing this game it would have made a very nice screensaver.

retl 2014-08-27 19:22

Not the most fun to play, but this game is easily the coolest looking entry I've seen so far.

glbs 2014-08-29 22:36

Pretty nice graphics and interesting infinite looping space, yet the gameplay is a bit repetitive as the best way to destroy the enemies turned out for me to be shooting constantly while circling around myself.

kaa 2014-08-30 20:11

Special game!! Best graphics and mood!

dragoninstall 2014-08-31 13:51

Very good graphics and atmosphere. I really like the shot effects and how they curve along the map. GG!

anssipe 2014-08-31 14:11

Trippy graphics and effects, however there is no much challenge in the gameplay. Just turn and shoot like hell and you pass the level in no time.

mrexcessive 2014-09-02 16:35

Hi there. Trippy visuals you made. Would have been nice to have mouse capture and fullscreen.

pansapiens 2014-09-06 04:47

Great visual effect - I can't quite decide if it's a scrolling UV or a cubemap reflection (might have to have a peek at the source :P ). Liked the atmosphere set by the background sound and the crunchy explosions too. I wasn't a huge fan of the control scheme, I didn't like having to find the player again after looking around - maybe locking the mouse to only look up/down not left/right would simplify things.

seconddimension 2014-09-07 11:13

Great game, controls are a little awkward though.

artamus 2014-09-07 16:18

Fun game, congrats!

xanjos 2014-09-11 00:50

Those are some pretty effects you've got there. I also like how the entire level is inside a sphere.

traumendes_madchen 2014-09-12 12:36

Very psychedelic ! Telling the controls right away would have been a bit more practical for the player though X').
