Neaz game!I really like the concept!

These controls were pretty cool. To actually use sinus curves as a way to control two characters simultaneously... brilliant!

maddestudios 2014-08-25 16:12

I enjoyed, and loved the mechanic. I feel like it's missing something though, but not sure what.

ganbaregames 2014-08-25 16:18

@MaddeStudios I know what you mean. The game works well enough, but there's nothing specific that's really amazing about it.

Good Job! Very nice game :D

Beautiful art e solid controls, it its pretty complete game. Using sinusoidal wave to control the characters is interesting, however the gameplay is not that good. It was a really good job.

Probably not the best score but 2700. That was actually a nice fun game. I loved the art. It looked really cool and the music was almost right. I liked the tone but it felt it needed more work just to get right.

But it was good enough for the entry (understandable of course the limit of time).

Good work and good luck :)

Nice game, try extend

I like it! Using sine waves to control characters is a neat idea. I think the stars should have been stationary, though. It was really hard to judge where everything was going to be.

igizzy 2014-08-25 23:11

What a great looking game. The movement on the sin waves was a very interesting twist that I enjoyed a ton...Great job!

It works in mac :)

ganbaregames 2014-08-26 03:28

@ehtd Thanks for testing it!

Nice, cool character movement and I think your right that it needs something more, maybe another mechanic. I liked the concept though, and the graphics have a strong foundation for a compo entry; I could see them getting really good with some work because they have a nice feel about them.

One criticism is that unless I'm missing something then it isn't actually possible to get all the stars, since sometimes your characters happen to be crossing in the middle instead of at the top of a wave, which is frustrating, although increases the difficulty to a good level.

Oh! One thing I really liked was the score system and name input, which was great! I don't think it added much but somehow really helped my enjoyment. More games should have that feature!

Neat mechanic! It took me a while to figure out what was going on, though I think that my colourblindness was a factor. Definitely potential for it.

That music got annoying very fast.

Very nice concept and mechanic, the gameplay is quite boring for longer time.

ganbaregames 2014-08-27 01:39

@Liberal Games Thanks for your feedback. It actually is possible to collect all of the stars even when you're in the middle of the wave. If you shorten the period by pressing left, your characters travel along the sine waves faster. Though it's not exactly an intuitive mechanic...

Nice game, sounds were way too loud :) I like the game alot! :)

+ highscore
+ gameplay
- background music (repeating to fast)

Very nice looking game. Complete with exit menu. Fullscreen didn't work well on Mac 1080p but windowed worked great. Had to install JDK to play. Glad you put a readme in the download. The music gets old quick, but the sound effects give it a nice arcade feel. Great job! The ending made me chuckle, so you get some nice humor points. :)

Well-done game with a great idea, it's simple and so not very addictive though. Maybe adding some more objects would be a good idea

gnerkus 2014-08-31 09:32

This is a very beautiful game. I love everything about it.

sunflower 2014-08-31 13:42

Cool audiovisuals, though I don't like mixing pixelated style with smooth vectors. The gameplay itself was alright, though nothing outstanding (I'm not a fan of games where the only goal is to get the best score possible, myself, and the gameplay itself is rather simple). Overall very decent, but not exceptional. ^^"

phocker 2014-08-31 15:12

This was a really great game. Solid and polished. I really feel that this could be good for mobile market with few mre mechanics added. Nice job.

Cool graphics, interesting game! I included it in part 21 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/5xO0Ucfr9co
