Windows version also requires Love
Pretty interesting concept, but the font was really hard to read at first... the "o" in particular looks like a "c", so I got a bit confused. Graphics are alright, but the overall graphical theme could use some work. Nice work though!
doesn't work
@nick, Skills - thanks for the heads up, fixed the Windows link.
I'm going to try to fix the font to be a bit more readable and release that as a post-compo version... I figure I'm stuck with what I have now for the compo release. Curse my terrible handwriting!
Loved everything, great game!
The physics need some more polishing.
Fun game, physics based games always seem to give the players some creativity in their choices, and your maps seemed to accommodate that well. I really like the water graphics.
Good game, the graphics were good. Font could have been a little more readable, also the physics need little improvement. Overall I enjoyed playing it.
I like the idea and the mechanics, mostly had fun playing it. The sound effects are a little annoying though, for some reason. Good job!
That was actually really enjoyable. Starting with a tutorial that explained the controls but left you to experiment with the physics. The graphics looked nice (especially the water) although they didn't feel very original. As stated, the text really was quite hard to read. But the mechanics felt quite elegant with the physics. It was oddly satisfying to chain up a bunch of rafts and try to charge through the level while bouncing all over the place.
Good job!
Wow, what an interesting and different game, fun to play and overall well done!
Apparently I can't run it because I'm running 32 bit Windows? :(
@Mali - Ah, sorry about that! I'll see about making a 32-bit Windows version. In the meantime, you can grab the 32-bit LOVE distribution here:
https://bitbucket.org/rude/love/downloads/love-0.9.1-win32.exe
Installing that should let you play the .love file version that's linked above. Fair warning: if you are running on an older/slower machine, this game is likely going to chug a bit. Lots of totally unoptimized physics equations running in the background.
Cool game! I included it in part 8 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/_ZcQE6pTBcc
Like others said, the font is pretty hard to see at points, so the instructions aren't clear. Nice work tho!
This is really really nice, and mechanically interesting. But also driving me insane with difficulty. Being able to zoom out helps quit ea bit, but Maybe I just don't have an aptitude for this kind of thing. I COULD not complete the gunboat tutorial.
I really like the sound.
I apologize for the lack of editing in my previous comment. My babel fish is malfunctioning.
@nintendoeats - no worries! A hint for the gunboat tutorial: it's a big, open ocean. The gunboats won't go after you unless you unless you get fairly close...
Tricky!
The idea is good, but, having an apple magic mouse, I cannot press the two buttons at the same time, so I can't complete the second level of the tutorial. Too bad!
You can also click and use the spacebar to disconnect ropes. That said, you don't need to disconnect to complete the second level! (Probably not technically needed in the third, either, but it'd get very hard with all the mines floating about.)
