Your web and windows links don't work. :(

benjammin1391 2015-12-15 02:53

Haha, two buttons. Thats actually awesome! Fun little puzzler!

@zlaine: Everything should work now. Submission hour ends in 1 minute :-)

Took me couple of minutes to understand the controls, even if I read the description... But after I did, the game is not bad :-)

OK, now, that's a definitely very good button clicking simulation. Like, the Super Meat Boy of button clicking (especially once you've understood you'd better keep your finger on that "r" key all the time). Whatever button clicking might be. Is that a thing in your place, something kids do? Anyway.

Liked the challenge, there's even a story and some graphics! Nice job guys.

That was fun, reminded me somewhat of Ricochet.

Good game. I really enjoyed the puzzles, and the story was a nice touch. I also loved the boss fight at the end.

bubuiic 2015-12-15 23:19

@oparisy:
Thanks for playing. Yes, you can use buttons or coins and try to flip them into cups or other targets. Have you never done that?

Nice game. You have a lot of levels and they are designed well.

trexmix 2015-12-15 23:31

Had a lot of fun with it! Felt very smooth. I think you could definitely expand this!

bobsleigh 2015-12-15 23:32

Awesome game, had loads of fun with it. I'm not quite sure if the boss battle is bugged or just a joke, but I laughed when I one shot the scary dude. Like the little story part very much.

multiplexor 2015-12-15 23:32

Nice game! Loved the characters and the dialogues too! :D Some music would be great! Keep up the good work people!

simon-parzer 2015-12-15 23:33

Two button game.. I see what you did there :)
The game is fun and also short.

sikosis 2015-12-15 23:33

Good to see a cut scene in a LD game, unfortunately, the game never ran at level 1.

rico-albe 2015-12-16 09:31

Last level was too easy, and the gravity thing could have been used a bit more, but it seems you have most things covered in your To Do list, so keep working on it, good job!

rzuf 2015-12-16 10:06

Nice take on the theme. Levels are well-designed, cutscenes are funny with nicely drawn characters and the captain is hilarious. :D
Great game, congrats!

piper82 2015-12-16 10:07

this was quite enjoyable. besides some minor issues with hit detection and lack of polish. well done.

oneiric-worlds 2015-12-16 10:09

I had to read the other comments to get the "Two button controls" pun! Great one! Simple but efficient concept. Love the little story and cutscenes. Well done!

mathijs750 2015-12-16 10:52

Boss battle of the year. Genius to use literal buttons. Would fish-stick again.

flip120 2015-12-16 13:15

Good game, the controls are difficult to understand

gipzo 2015-12-16 13:16

Nice work. Really liked the ability to turn the lasers back on accidentally :)

theozone 2015-12-16 13:22

Cool story, had a lot of fun.

teamross 2015-12-16 13:25

I liked a lot, nice use of the theme.
As you say in the description, the game has a lot of potential to continue working and adding levels.
Good job!

bubuiic 2015-12-16 13:28

@Bobsleigh: Haha, no the boss is not bugged. It was the best we could do in the last 10 minutes before the deadline. So it ended up as kind of a joke. :-)

decentsauce 2015-12-16 15:21

Such a cool idea! :) And for some reason I really like the word ''button sniper''. The gravity object feels a bit random without indicator. I would suggest to show field lines. Also some of the levels had (unintended?) easy ways to solve them without using half the level. Overall a very nice entry!

(Btw, thank you very much for the Linux build of my game! Added it to the download list with your username)

drfallos 2015-12-17 12:49

Understanding of theme is fun! Game is interesting! But I found that red button not always react with blue. You should fix it

hotboxgames 2015-12-17 16:41

Haha, I loved the premise and the script!
The boss fight with captain calamari was great :D
Btw, we've just put up a Linux build of our game for you!

geckoo1337 2015-12-17 16:45

A great entry - a great game. It reminds me another game which is one of the best on mobile device - UltraFlow. I like the way you develop your project around the theme. Aesthetic isn't bad and the story is funny. Well done. One of my favorites ++

axoona 2015-12-17 21:47

it's a very fun puzzle game!
you could probably restart automatically the level without obliging the player to press R button (but that's really a detail)

eemmbbeerr 2015-12-18 17:35

An impressive amount of content in this short timeframe!

piechronicles 2015-12-18 23:22

funny little narrative at the start gave me a chuckle.
getting the buttons to interact was a bit difficult.

finn 2015-12-26 00:10

Nice take on the theme and a fun little game overall!

This is a game I would love to see taken further. There is definitely room for more exploration here, both with the mechanics you already have and adding more (perhaps wind/repulsors, other switches that change the level in some way, teleporters/portals, or other projectiles that you can ricochet off like pool balls). If you are working on it further, a predicted path like in peggle while holding down the button might also be nice.

I especially liked the gravity effect!
