I really enjoyed this game. I'm totally going to play it again.
The platformer aspect was really difficult and could go for some fine-tuning.
The breakout aspect sent me straight to a gameover screen after I broke a few blocks. I think it was when I collected a platformer icon.
I suppose if my laptop didn't suck, and if I wasn't using a laptop, this game would be a lot easier to control. I really lose my sense of direction in Cyberspace.
The music was great, and the overall theme was pretty cool and TRON-ish. The mouse-sensitivity was way too high for a touch-pad, especially on a junky laptop like mine. Great effort and cool graphics!
Another favorite of mine for this Ludum Dare! Excellent game! Really hit my reward sensors when I beat it, even if it's kind of short. I can imagine a large-scale game based on this with multiple levels.
fcpfoof - Thanks for the feedback! I like the idea also. I hope to move forward with it. I updated the links with my final entry. However, although I put as much work into it as I could, it's still very short and ends in a "to be continued" really before the action starts. Take a peek at my code to see all the different things it allows you to do! I tried to keep it very open-ended. It's just too bad I have to submit an unfinished product; but at least it shouldn't crash on you anymore.
CogentInvalid - Thank you for your feedback! Haha yeah I tried to include as many phrases as possible to leave it open-ended. A few things I forgot to include are "change clothes", "change uniform" and probably many others. If you take a look at my code, you can see all the possibilities I included.
DarkCart - Sorry about that! I just checked and it says Target Framework is .NET Framework 4 Client Profile.
Empyrealhell - Yes. You are 100% correct. It's funny because my overall plan was for a Carmen San Diego ish game. I think this is a matter of me being a novice programmer with little time. Quite honestly... I hate to say it but it's also a mirror of my dedication. I will get better!
Thank you both for playing my game (or at least attempting to).
Thank you everyone for trying out my game, and also for your responses!
Note: I changed my nickname to reflect my real name. Doing a little online-identity change to have a more professional profile.

:(
Not rating this game due to it being unplayable for me.
otresnjak - I'm on Windows 7, using a Toshiba C655 laptop.
Looks like a web game that can't be played on the web?
Cool game. Got to 40.
Game starts very easy; gets very challenging.
Tips to players: Keep clicking on blocks on the bottom row. You'll eventually find a match on the top and having already clicked on the initial block will help you make the small window of time. Also, watch out for those arrows! Many blocks are very similar but the arrows are different.
This game looks like, with lots of work, it can be something great. It was really difficult to control. Am I supposed to ram into those flashing lights? I couldn't figure it out honestly. I enjoyed the artwork.
Playthrough 1: Triggered the intro earthquake multiple times. Walked around town; sudden random battle against a DEMON! Hit Demon for 0 HP! Demon hits me for 556 HP; I die. GAME OVER!
Playthrough 2: I RUN to the nearby shop. I have no money. Steal money from the shop's chest. Buy "Holy Lance" from shop, hoping it would work well against a demon. Can't equip Holy Lance. Try to exit store. Can't exit store. GAME END.
Playthrough 3: I RUSH to the Pub. Demon King attacks! I escape the battle unscathed. Enter the Pub. Hey! Free beer! Wait... MORE FREE BEER! YES! Give me more more more... OK that's enough beer for now. Maybe one more OK thank you. Exit Pub. Title music is playing in town. RUSH to the INN. There's a decorative set of stairs here. Ok time to move along. Um... exit the Inn? (Try it and you'll see what I mean). Go to castle...AGH! Stay away from Lord Arcane! Find secret entrance. Cool! I had the correct code! Find a chest. Random battle and then... "Unable to find file: Graphics/Battlebacks2/Stone2... GAME CRASH
10/10 would play again.
If Galaga were an RPG, this would be the prototype for it. I enjoyed this one! Granted it was done in 48 hours, so all the enemies are the same, but the whole concept was excellent. I'm jealous of this one!
Cool platformer. Needs a bit of work on collision detection. Damn good for 48 hours, though!
I think the top-down-aim-with-the-mouse thing only really works in full-screen games, but I could be wrong. I kept accidentally clicking off of the game and getting "Ghosted".
I like the effort put into this game. The punch animation needs some work, and the power-ups need to be more apparent as to what they do (the skull on the orange background didn't kill me, nor did it kill everything on screen... what did it do?). Overall I found this enjoyable and I think with work it can become something very special.
I love this game.
No, I really mean it. I LOVE this game!
I have yet to beat it. It's one of those Demon's Souls-ish games where you have to beat it with trial and error. And when you hit that error you're like "NOOOOOOOO!". OMG all my 5-stars to this game! (Except humor because, well, it's not meant to be humorous).
Looks like it would be a fun game but I had a few issues with it:
1) The game currently plays itself. I can't figure out how to take control.
2) The resolution is huge compared to my browser. I have to scroll up and down to see all of the action.
Cool concept though!
Reminds me a bit of VVVVVV and Sonic the Hedgehog.
This game hits really close to home, as I am Native American, and my father was once chairman of the Tongva tribe. The plight of the bison in North America directly contributed to the plight of the plains indians, in both body and spirit.
No this game is not perfect, but it's great just how it is. I love it!
This one hits close to home for non-obvious reasons.
I used to be a devout Christian, and thus believed that all LGBT people were on a one-way street to a place I believed in called Hell. I didn't even know what LGBT meant, nor would I have acknowledged it if I had heard it.
That was a long time ago. I've opened my own doors and come out in my own ways. Although I wasn't born gay or transgendered, I now accept that those who are should be treated like anyone else. There are both good-natured and evil people from the LGBT community, just like any other community. Heck; one of the first gamedev books I've ever read was written by Anna Anthropy, a transgendered individual.
The metaphors "out" and "opening a closed door that may have only seemed locked at first" may seem overused, but they're just so appropriate. This game puts the glasses on our eyes and let's us have a glimpse through the eyes of someone who has been through it, and is still going through it all.
There were some typos, but other than that, I think this game serves its purpose well. Thank you for giving us a peek past the media curtain.
Reminds me of the roaring 20's for some reason.
Works in Chrome when you accept "Just this time".
Really cool concept for a game. "Sneaky player" doesn't fully combat the exploit if the player is both sneaky and somewhat smart; UNLESS the timer is about to expire. If the player is being "sneaky" before it hits 0, it starts going into the negative digits, making the game impossible to win.
Very challenging if you're not sneaky.
I really enjoyed this game. It becomes a real challenge also! Totally gonna vote for this one!
Well... I think something went wrong during your compilation. I'm not familiar with UDK but it looks like you've uploaded some sort of template for Unreal multiplayer. It was a level called "Citadel" with a bunch of Boston Baked Beans floating in mid-air? Definitely not what I expected. Not rating this game as I consider this to be unplayable with this error.
