Very cool idea of the puzzle, simple but fun to play.
Only thing I don't like is the control: you need to remember which key is clock-wise otherwise you may push the wrong key and die. I think we can improve it to use Up/Down/Left/Right and map it to clock-wise and counter clock-wise depends on your current position. (So when you are at the top region, left will map to counter-clock-wise)
How to start playing? When I click 'Normal' nothing happens?
Like the design, and the details.
Would like to shift the box automatically when it is full.
Haha, why the rocks are so slippy? :P
Bunny is cute!
Why 200 carrots for one jump? That's way to expensive..
Really like the feel of the game, especially the animation of character dying when hit by a block.
Seems it is really hard to get more than 2 connected same color blocks, and it is not very strategic to choose which blocks to cancel (since it is too much random).
The concept is very original (platformer + tetris) and control is unique. Would like to see more polished details, some ideas in my mind: - less color so we get a good chance to cancel blocks. - maybe click one block and it will destroy all block in that connected component, so we don't need to click many times. (We need to move and jump the character, so don't have much attention on mouse)
The puzzle is very original, and turns out to be interesting to play.
Would be a good game if we can play it with touching screen (like iPad)
Oh man it is a terror to play, you hold a coffin and chased by a ghost.
The graphic and sound make the terror feeling very real!
Really simple mechanic but turns out to be very fun to play.
Also the graphic is simple and clean, the animation (the boundary blinks when you are ready to deploy the block) is quite nice.
The concept is original and control is unique.
One thing can be improved is the key - I think it make more sense to swap "QE and "AD", so "WSAD" become moves and "QE" for rotating. And for the ship we should have some way to indicate which direction is forward - otherwise after you rotate it then it will be hard to tell.
The idea is so hilarious... Really fun to see what's inside the folders. And it is funny to see "You can't delete folders, it is cheating" when I tried to do so. :)
@smilewood, @karlipoppins: Yes there should be background music. I had few idea like changing them between 'level's to tell the player about level changes. However I didn't manged to figure out how to make music by myself (this was my first Ludum Dare!) - will definitely work on the music next time.
@mrjorts, @matt-tuttle, @tinamil, @karlipoppins: Wow I didn't expect it to be that easy, myself only have about 20%~30% change to finish the game. :)
Should added more levels, or have some random generated endless levels.
@mazzletov: "yellow key shifting to a complete random letter" when it is impossible to reach a 'space bar" at your current location.
I added that logic (it is hard to code though, so maybe it is buggy) in the very end, otherwise you can stuck at a position that can't go to any space bar.
@oadt: Ah you are right. This is my first LD so I thought the name is given and can't be changed. Will reserve some time to come up with a good title next time.
The link is to a local directory. Please upload it to somewhere (like Google Drive).
Like the idea and the feel.
Thought it is a easy game until I pushed a block to left-bottom corner and then 'running out of space'!
The idea is original and overall it feels nice.
Though sometimes you will stuck with your self and you can even push your self into obstacles (and then jump into space).
And the control seems hard to master, you need to hold mouse at exact time (some times during the first half of jump, sometimes a while after the jump).
Great arts, I like it!
The direction of 'W' and 'S' is kind of counter-intuitive for me (expect 'W' to go up and 'S' to go down).
Btw, for the HTML5 link, it says 'We couldn't find your page'.
Simple idea (3 jumps) and the control feels very good.
And it is challenging. Need to try many times to optimize the strategy.
Wow this game is so sick - I mean the story (driving a boat and smash swimmer), control (use wheel) and graphic (hand drawing).
And the best part is to see your small boat overwhelmed by the crowd. I love it so much.
It is fun to play. I think we should have some warning of cells, especially the green one (sometimes you don't know why you die, for example, during first few try I didn't know I can move and always die without knowing the reason).
Nice game, original and fun to play. Would like to pause the game when go to shop.exe, or only shopping between levels. Now it is a huge risk to buy items during play.
It is so much fun to play. Only issue is that sometimes you forgot which is you and when you figure it out you already dead.
It is fun to play, and the graphics / animation are amazing.
One suggestion: add '7' shape blocks so it can work nicely with 'L' shapes - otherwise once you got a lot of 'L' you don't have a good way to store them.
Btw seems this is buggy, the green shape overlap with others: bug.png
Great concept and very simple control (one button, only timing matters).
Could be a nice mobile game to kill time. :)
Wow it is a cute game: great physics simulation, great control. I like the characters (especially the 'black hole') and graphic feels, really a joy to play.
Why opt out for the 'sound' review? I like the background music and sound effect too.
The cat is cute. :)
Why the cool down bar is growing? I'd expect it to reduce to 0.
Really nice idea, and well implemented!
Original idea and fun to play. It is nice use space (radius of circle) to replace 'HP' - when you crash you reduce that, it will reduce over time, and you need to pick up ash to increase it)
