Fun little game, but a bit hard to get used to the valves. I love the retro Game&Watch aesthetic of it though.

Fun little game, but a bit hard to get used to the valves. I love the retro Game&Watch aesthetic of it though.
great job ! i really feel like if I was playing a "pysical" Game and Watch ! The graphics is really nice !
Excellent implementation. I like graphics and the style. But the game itself is too simple to play for long time.
Pretty hard when steam goes to 4th level but I really enjoyed it! Great work!
Very cool! I loved the look of it
Cool little game. I love the aesthetic.
I don't think I completely understand how the game works but I love the whole look and feel of it! Would be cool if the buttons physically pressed while holding the A or D keys.
Neat but challenging game. It feels like a real game and watch.
@Ben Allen: Thanks! Maybe I'll do a mobile port of it. The trick is to hold the key down when the little guy is 1 step in front of the obstacle and release it after the following tick so you won't deplete your energy.
This game is great, reminds me of a turtles game I had as a kid or my Mario watch.
I love the aesthetic and atmosphere. The gameplay however is a bit too harsh for me.
Well you really nailed the game&watch looks. That game gave me nostalgic feelings. Good one!
Great ode to the game and watches of the past! It gets pretty hard!
Great job! Even though I've never played in a game & watch, it really captured the feeling of playing in those old, low-res handheld games (we used to call 'em "mini-game", here...)
My two cents: I think the activation of doors and valves should had been sync'ed with the game tick. It would make a lot more sense, to me...
You have absolutely captured what it was like playing these type of games as an 80's kid, and i had about as much fun playing it as i did them then. its tough to grade it because you clearly nailed what you went for. but i can't say i enjoyed playing it :(
This game is beautiful. Very awesome :D
after this game i have found my "elektronica" with game about wolf and eggs and spent a lot of fun time. but this game is fun too
interesting idea, but not so fun to play, great visual...
Got error "not valid win32 application"
Knowledge: What's your Windows version? Are you logged on as admin or standard user? Did the download finish? Game should be around 7 MB, so maybe just download again? Thanks for trying :)
It's a funny game and it would also be fun if you added more variation to the game. Maybe different maps or something.
Well done!
Great work, the game looks and feels like it's real, only the animation of the buttons is missing. When I played the second time, the doors stayed closed the whole time (only the graphics).
Tricky game to judge because of the limitations of the game & watch things... but as a loving recreation and a new game of that type? This is awesome.
Great style choice, both in music and graphics!
Nice remake of the classic hand held games of the 80's.
Nice Documentary!
Very nice design choice :)
It reminded me memories of Bomb Sweeper...
The game becomes quite hard after level 10, especially when steam is getting higher... It's hard to go beyond level 15 for me :p
Great old school vibe !
i want to be honest with you i don´t like the game maybe i am to stupid but i do´nt get it and this makees me cry anyway great graphics.-
Good tribute game. Interesting mechanics and a bit hard to get the right timing.
I liked your initiative to revive an old game mechanics.
Great Job!
I think it glitched for me, but I like the feel of this game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/3B2_gBg5rhI
On the one hand, this is a perfect recreation of a Game and Watch, with charming graphics and an obvious ton of attention to detail.
On the other hand, it's not very fun. I also wish the buttons for the inputs were A and L so that you had to use two hands like you would on an actual console, even though that would be kind of annoying.
