At first, I thought the controls were too twitchy. I was about to close the game, but then the potatoes came out. I wasn't going to let some spuds make a chump out of me, so I busted out my game pad and redoubled my efforts. That's when I realized the controls were BRILLIANT! Extremely quick and precise.
I ended up doing the "IMPOSSIABLE" and beating the game. I enjoyed it thoroughly, very nicely done sir!
Very much liked the idea! But you are right, could use some polish. Toys tend to go flying if you accidentally bump them with a item in your graviton beam. Getting the rotations I desired was quite difficult.
Awesome Game! I felt like the group therapy was rather expensive for not accomplishing much. Also, as others mentioned, nothing bad happens if you run out of food.
I WON!!!
Simple, elegant, challenging. A very fun game!
Nicely done! Can't think of anything to add other than the obvious: expand and polish.
Good concept! Good implementation! a good game! I agree with other some of the other comments though: the procedural generation could be unforgiving and the controls felt slightly unresponsive. Polish it up, maybe add in a rumble sound when the platforms are about to fall, and you'll be in business!
A very enjoyable game! A similar concept to my game, but completely different implementations. I ended up wall jumping out of the level at one point though...
Very Nicely Done!
Very nice! I pumped that bird full of truth before I saw the conveniently placed giant bird masher. I didn't really understand how the theme fit in, and would really have liked a larger crosshair.
Very nice game! The character looks really good. Sometimes, with all of the rotating, I had trouble keeping track of which buttons went to which block. Maybe if they were color coordinated or something?
WHAT!?!? All that only to find out 'there is no potato.' After a couple of plays, I fired up JoyToKey. I enjoyed the game much more with a game pad. Also, if you stand on the inner edge of one of the lower platforms and fire up, you're pretty much invincible until "a little something happens." But, overall, an EXCELLENT entry!
Fun game, good game concept, right on with the theme. But the best strategy seemed to be luck...
Hilarious! Further confirms I have no understanding of minimalist art.
This game is pretty sweet! Although, after watching the walkthrough, I can see that my attempts to win with the keyboard were futile.
Fun game! Equipped with shotguns and potato sacks, my party made an alluring target for the local rat populace...
It would have been nice to get some detailed battle reports each round (i.e. rat gnaws member 2 in half for 15 pts of damage)
I liked it. That's the funkiest Mr. Lincoln has ever been! Maybe typing other words, instead typing the action name every time would mix it up?
The game looks pretty slick, but I agree with the other comments. The controls make the game unnecessarily difficult.
Brilliant!
Neat idea, and a whole slew of games in one! The transitions between games can be rather abrupt. I'd often watch in despair as the game changed suddenly and the ball for the new game went sailing off into the void.
You definitely boiled the gameplay down to the bare minimum! Very nice work art work with grey scale images.
I thought the music was really nice, and the game was pretty good. I found moving between the mouse and keyboard a little jarring. If you could just move with the WADS, and replace mouse clicks with space press or something, I think the game would flow better. But still, a good entry!
I like the idea! It needs some polish (sounds, music, why a level was failed, so on). But a good entry, keep up the good work!
A solid game, but rather challenging! I wasn't crazy about the hit boxes for my ship or the aliens. They felt a little too large, but maybe that's just me.
Pretty funny game. The interface at the bottom was a little difficult to understand (only the top two options are active).
I tried to get the file from Dropbox, and it told me:
"Nothing Here"
@lightnarcissus - Yes, the link works now.
It took me a couple of tries to figure out what was going on, but by the end, my life had a pretty rocking soundtrack!
I liked it, lots of good ideas. One of the minimalists turned purple. I'm not really sure why that happened... Oh, and the music was simultaneously minimal AND BUMPING! I kept the fps set to 20 and didn't have any screen flicker problems.
Very nice game! Games switching between keyboard and mouse can be a little jarring...
Neat game idea! The audio was especially well done. But sometimes it seemed like the baddie cubes would spawn right on top of me...
The visuals were fantastic. I flew all the way to the top, but couldn't go any further. Hope I didn't miss anything...
I like how, if you change focus from the game, it automatically pauses. I'd hate for my hard earned rank to dissipate while I was checking my e-mail!
Well, that made my day! But why is everyone else going to the left??? What do they know that I don't?
Neat concept. But I didn't understand how the gray boxes multiplied
A very interesting idea! The graphics are gorgeous, elegant, and minimal. I thought the game was quite difficult. It would be nice to have an idea of the initial trajectory of the lin. On level 4, I noticed you can move purple dots between purple patches (maybe intentional?). Overall an excellent entry
Nice game! The audio didn't seem to be working in firefox (windows 7). But don't worry, we inserted our own "pew pew!"
Awesome! I felt like I was playing space legos. But I ended up making a ship that shot itself. D'oh!
Very nice entry! The physics felt a little inconsistent at times, but that's more Unity's doing, I think. I got my best score (75) by just holding the A button...
Fun Game! The mouse sensitivity was a little low for my tastes, but that's just my preference
Neat idea and nicely presented. Sometimes I felt like the letters spawned right on top of me, and the hit boxes seemed a little too large. Some of the words didn't seem to get accepted (like tibia, TOTALLY a word).
Nice Game! But I wish I knew how many... Rebiggies? Were in a blue block before I picked it up!
Nice job! Add in some more content and you'll have a real winner!
A very fun little game and a good take on minimalism! I tried cheating by cranking my resolution way down and using the windows magnifier. Didn't help, I still couldn't get past 12. It's probably my monitor ;)
Nice 3d work for such a short period. Took me a while to figure out I had to reload my gun before I could use it. But why are those cubes so angry at me???
Very nicely done! One of the most chill games I've played. It would have been nice to have a rough idea what the pieces did before playing the level. Also, my 's' button quit working in the game after a restart.
Nice take on a classic! Defense seemed to be the best 1 player strategy. Sooner or later the AI would smash itself with the puck.
Extremely good! I don't think I'd change a thing.
Very Nicely Done!
Very nice job! Like others have said, the music syncing with the gameplay was perfect. I thought it was too easy. I would have liked "sharper" controls, and maybe a less bouncy ball, but overall, very well done.
Nice music and good lighting effects. But the game play was rather frustrating.
Hey, I had some trouble running the game on Windows 7. I had to put "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\" inside of the batch file, in case someone else has the same problem.
I liked the music, but I got completely overwhelmed by those darn ROIDS!
Definitely takes me back to the Descent days. The lighting in the game looks quite nice! I noticed there was occasionally some clipping near the walls, but nothing major. Great work!
I liked the idea. Wasn't sure how to move and attack (WADS and J). Didn't really understand how the weapon modifiers affected the enemies, or my score, or the game really. It also would have been nice to have a distinguishing feature (color?) for the player cube
Cool Game! Felt kind of like a medieval version of SkiFree.
Pretty good game, good for a laugh! Those last few minions were awfully difficult to hit.
Nice game! There needs to be some sort of variation among the prices (but I know there's only so much time to work with). I really like the planet names, are they randomly generated?
Surprisingly addictive, and you were spot on with the theme! The graphics were a little jerky sometimes.
