There is not much room for expansion here. Okay for a two day jam, I guess. Music would've been nice, a cleaner design, with shadows, would have been better as well as visually better instructions...

sir-magic 2015-12-15 17:56

Okay, thank you for your time. I will take into count what you said and use it for my next games.

MEGA BIEN OVER COOL BEST GAME I LOVED IT I WISH IT HAD MORE LEVELS TO IT

exhidor 2015-12-16 16:49

The idea is really nice, you exploit well the concept throw the map design. Well done ! I was sad to see that it was a short game ! :P

sir-magic 2015-12-16 16:52

Thanks exhidor! :)

iszlonn 2015-12-16 16:57

Nice core idea, I would love to see it develop with more levels! Keep it up!

sir-magic 2015-12-16 16:59

Thanks iszlonn! :)

Cool idea

mukult 2015-12-16 19:47

Baah......
Cant play it on a mac!! :|

dinnerinthedark 2015-12-16 19:59

Quite a nice game, loved the concept. Too bad there weren't any checkpoints. Well done!

sir-magic 2015-12-16 20:12

+DinnerInTheDark Thanks!

sir-magic 2015-12-16 20:13

+mukult Sorry dude but if I made mac I wouldn't know if it would work
P.S: I used to be a mac user. No joke, PC's are better.

I love the concept! It would be nice if the player could control the camera (zoom in/out, rotate) because it was a little bit hard to see sometims. Overall pretty fun game :D

sir-magic 2015-12-16 20:51

Thanks!

lurils 2015-12-16 21:47

Interesting mechanic, could have used some time to make more with it besides a tutorial tho.

reccy 2015-12-16 21:54

Fun game, cool idea. :)
Wish it was a bit longer though.

fistmaker 2015-12-17 19:39

Neat idea! not too hard, but still fun. I like the concept.

auroz 2015-12-17 19:41

Very short game but I enjoyed it. An option to zoom the camera would have been nice, but otherwise a very nice game.

jajo 2015-12-17 20:10

Ending was a slight anti-climax, but I'm impressed you made a fun puzzle game that actually fits the theme.

shrapx 2015-12-17 20:15

nice idea, short (sometimes long), but i see you made in 3.5 hours, which is productive, though :D

anv 2015-12-17 21:28

Pretty nice concept. Could use more varied and complex levels to fully show off game mechanics, but definitely works as a proof of concept.

schizoid2k 2015-12-17 21:29

Not bad for 3.5 hours! Decent concept that you could expand on.

geckoo1337 2015-12-17 22:12

Your game is exactly what I wait from Ludum Dare. There is nothing in your game (it's not a criticism) - no amazing or complex code, no beautiful textures, no incredible FX... But this is one of the best games which I have seen for LD34. Simple and addictive with a strange mood and a minimalist aesthetic - and overall, you respect the theme. One of my favorites. Thumbs up - five stars ++

cartoonjenn 2015-12-17 22:27

Very cool concept!

sir-magic 2015-12-17 22:27

Thanks for all the feedback, guys! I'm just glad to see people playing it :)

azureaspect 2015-12-18 15:29

Ratehr short but well working game. Maybe add rotation next time to make game more interesting? :)

jamesmowery 2015-12-19 08:08

I really liked the game. Any Safari users might want to check out a non-Web version. The music is amazing, and the concepts are great.

chubb1337 2015-12-19 10:34

It's a bit buggy with the collision, but nice game, nice idea and fun to play. Liked them music!

ssodelta 2015-12-19 13:31

Nice little game! ;D liked it

dmecke 2015-12-20 19:59

Very cool idea for the game mechanics! I think that idea has a lot of potential when it is done more polished (it cannot be polished in 3.5 hours of course). I found the camera to be too close to the ground and maybe 3d isnt even necessary at all? Reducing it to 2d would focus the user more on that interesting base concept and away from issues with the orientation and obviously the graphics.
After all, very well done!

split82 2015-12-20 23:48

Nice idea, simple, but fun. Good job.

tommislav 2015-12-27 16:52

I liked it. It wasn't very hard, but a nice entry. Good background music.

madball 2016-01-02 17:24

Pretty good for 3.5 hours. Though graphics are simple, gameplay seems promising. If only it was longer.

And yes, the glitches. You saw them.

xanjos 2016-01-02 19:51

Pretty cool idea although it could be more interesting if there was more physics involved e.g. making your plank wobble if it's slightly unbalanced on one end (Traversing large gaps seems way too easy if you just grow to your maximum length).

pokipsy 2016-01-04 11:01

Really cool concept and solid execution for 3.5 hours. Well done!

jupiter_hadley 2016-01-04 16:19

Neat concept! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/eBJmDbHq4GI

I really enjoyed that shrinking and growing changes your speed. I also like the way you tech the player with text in some areas without stopping the action.
