The level design could have been better, as there was one part where luring the creature into a certain position took a long time. Also, some music would have been nice to add to the atmosphere. Other than that, the art is very nice and the puzzles are challenging and fun.

Great game! Suits the theme pretty perfectly, and the fact that you can just jump into the editor at run-time is just incredible to me.
Awesome job!

Got stuck a couple of times, but overall I loved the gameplay and style of this game. Great work!

"Unable to start application" Can't play the game.

@Skills641: Oops! Which platform? If Windows, could you try running after installing vcredist (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784)? If you tried that, might be an OpenGL/drivers update issue?

This is awesome. I like the way the puzzle elements fit in well with the dungeon crawler feel. I thought was stuck once but realized I was just learning some new puzzle mechanics.

I took a quick look at your cgame github repo. It sounds promising. I'm a fan of C + Lua! I'd love to see more docs on that. Right now I don't know what to read to learn about how to use it, or to know what it's capable of. The in-game editor looks cool, although it crashed on me.

Overall, excellent work.

Couldn't open the program on windows

@gaarlicbread: Thanks a lot for the nice words! Yeah cgame needs to be documented... The in-game editor crashes on this game because of some last-minute Ludum Dare hacks, but in the master branch it should work nicely (activated by pressing 'E'). There's some examples in 'test/' but even those are not often idiomatic. I will write tutorials/docs soon! Meanwhile you could check out the paper and poster: http://www.princeton.edu/~sigatapu/cgame-progress.html

@IsaacL.Balogh: Oh no! What is was the error you got?

OS/X version worked great. Very nice game! I'm impressed with the engine-- seems to work very well. No glitches as far as I could tell. Graphics were meh but that's not really the point of the exercise, obviously. The gameplay was actually FUN! And I liked your take on the theme. The editor made no sense to me but that's okay. Thanks for submitting, it was interesting!

Very intuitive, not very original but some people like me always enjoy this kind of game. I like the part when you have to trick your enemy into open you the gate. I wish there was a button to go back to the checkpoint when i f**** up. I like it

mechabit 2014-08-26 14:28

it's cool/crazy that you're making your own game engine, the runtime editing is a neat idea. well done.

Some nice wee brainteasers in here, nicely done! (managed to get over the 2-block gap with one crate though... I'm guessing I'm not supposed to be able to do that?) :D

nikki93 2014-08-26 18:41

@DustyStylus: So I thought about it a bit and tried... Turns out you can do it without any crates at all. D:

atomicvikings 2014-08-26 19:07

Great puzzle game :D

tehskull 2014-08-27 00:08

Props to GaarlicBread for giving me the clue that I needed to continue playing this game. However, I managed to get myself stuck immediately afterward, because I had previously moved a crate way too far up and can no longer undo.

After a quick re-run through this game, I see some decent potential for it. Desperately needs music though.

Really devilish and well designed puzzles. I like the graphics and there's a lot of design in the enemies and environment that gives the game a lot of personality :)

jordanbloemen 2014-08-28 01:44

Nice work with the editor

nerd-burglars 2014-08-28 02:30

Liked the puzzles. Liked the art. Liked the concept. Good game!

hypnohustla 2014-08-28 05:48

Very nice little puzzler. :)

jprogman 2014-08-30 06:07

I got an error saying it's missing MSVCR120.DLL. Fortunately, I got the file online and placed it next to the EXE and it runs perfectly.

There should be a better checkpoint where I can easily restart. While it's nice to continue where I had last entered a portal, a false move after I entered a portal would be memorized. Thus, having me to restart the entire game. I like to suggest a simple check point where I can safely fall back to when I mess things up.

The game is cleverly done. Nice work!

kingbolonzo 2014-08-31 20:22

collisions need a little work but other than that real fun hope you finish

dancingmad 2014-08-31 20:37

I didn't understand how i could go though the level where there are 3 portals (the one is your 1st screenshot). Care to explain ?

vividhelix 2014-08-31 22:00

pretty good, found it a bit difficult to trick the red thingy into opening the door :)

nikki93 2014-09-01 00:23

@dancingmad: A clue: When you enter a portal, time pauses in the world that you left. It resumes when you come back.

jupiter_hadley 2014-09-05 18:14

Nice Concept! I included it in part 15 of my Ludum Dare 30 Compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/oHxpkDX49XQ

dancingmad 2014-09-07 19:33

@nikki93: ah thanks, i found the solution :)
