I like the idea and the feel of whatever is going on here, but without any way to interpret the meaning of the input or the output it just feels like I'm just randomly placing the items in the boxes. I was starting to see some connections between the two, but I didn't know what those connections meant either. I do enjoy the mystery of it though, just need a tiny bit more to go on or aim at.
i couldn't really understand the correlation between the boxes and the character i put in them, but i like the idea
I did not get what I have to do in this game.
Thanks everyone for the nice and helpful feedback. @mess110, @Norgg: I was afraid that that would happen, but did not have enough time or concentration to think more carefully about that. I suppose I was also deep in the project to realize that what seemed obvious to me was in no way obvious to anyone else. But it's good to see that you liked the idea, so I'll put some more work into it and make a post-compo version (that might take some time though). Thanks!
@datacr4sh, @elkiwydev: The boxes are actually just empty fields for the symbols. The game is about the combinations of symbols. I will make a (hopefully) better and more clear post-compo version of the game!
Nice job for the first LudumDare. I didn't even finish my first one.
Cool concept!
Weird game, might need to be expanded to get more out of it.
I like the idea of figuring out a language. At least that is what I think the game is about ;) Sadly there is no goal defined, so it is hard to tell if I am on the right track... But still, it is good first ludum dare entry!
For people on newer macs: Before running main.py you have to tell python to prefer 32 bit. There seems to be a bug in piglet. To do so run: "defaults write com.apple.versioner.python Prefer-32-Bit -bool yes" in a terminal window.
Wasn't quite sure what to do with combining the symbols, but it would be neat if you put together something a little more complete.
I liked the idea of the game, but the goal is still unclear for me. You should give to player a purpose, for example, finding a certain amount of new words to win.
