First I was confused and thought the background was part of the level and the lines are going to crush me. Then I figured I just have to walk to the right.
I'ld prefer the controls to react on keydown, not keyup. It's really unusual this way.
Doesn't work for me. Just openes and immediately closes again. :(
Nice quick shooter. I like the idea of exchanging mouse and keyboard. Usually you walk with the keys and aim with he mouse.
Great game!
21040. Fun game!
I don't get it. What am I supposed to do ???
The game feels good while playing. Maybe I missed it, but is there a goal? I keep running around collecting while there is no enemy?
Wow, Thx for all the positive feedback - especially since this is my first ld. :)
Sorry for the resolution issue. I wasn't sure what resolution to choose. I didn't want to leave out low res people while I also didn't want a tiny screen for people with high resolutions.
I got the speed comment a few times already. I guess I played it too much while testing and therefore made it a bit too fast in the end.
As others have commented, I think it's possibly to cheat easily. You can jump into a wall and keep jumping to climb it. You can do some maps that way without dying.
Apart from that a great game concept. I would have loved to play more challenging maps.
Compared to the other comments, the game runs and doesn't crash for me. However, I'm not sure about the stretch effect of the robot. In the screenshot it looks like its legs get longer, but for me, the whole robot sprite gets stretched. Besides that, I already got stuck on level 2. :(
Fun game! Checkpoints would be nice though. I was killed by the boss at the end and it put me back to the start :(
This was a long ride. Couldn't let go though. Luckily I had unlimited fuel. I'm not sure what the landing plattforms inbetween do. I would have prefered smooth scrolling.
I read the comments after playing this. I'm concerend about the virus notifications of virus total...
"Sometimes, we just need to"
do what? do whaaaaaaat?!?!?!
I tried playing by the rules first and hit 28 blocks. Then I tried doing nothing, the Square just moves upwards out of the screen. Somehow it doesn't seem to hit anything any more after some time so I ended up with only 10 blocks hit.
I also vote for wall touching physics. :)
Wow. Really a great game. I love Katamari :) I didn't notice the focus on puzzles though. I just rolled around until I was big enough to reach the goal. The "thing" also gets hard to control when it gets bigger. I'm not sure if that's intentional or not. Towards the end of a level I tend to be rotating very fast in the air. Other than that, a really enjoyable experience :)
Great game! Looks nice and feels good. I wasn't sure what to do though. I could kill bad guys with colors different to their colors. But the respawn all the time so just killing them forever probably isn't what I have to do. There are those pillars that change color, but I didn't figure out what to do with them.
Awesome game!
Wow, this is a nice concept.
Nice game, but a bit frustrating to start all over from the beginning when you drop down.
Wow, super hard!
Sadly not so much game. Technically interesting though.
Nice game. I get confused by the perspective from time to time though. I never knew if I'm already inside the wall or not. But I played through it anyhow. Great job! Btw. I got approx. -8600 points!
Great game idea. Sadly there is only one short level. Nice to see someone using Ogre3D for ld ;)
Short, but nice :)
I always get eaten directly at the beginning. For some reason, the monster comes through the closed door even before I push the button and kills me. Directly whne I move around the corner.
I'm also not sure about the limited vision game mechanic. I found that I can hold space forever and always see everything that way?
Cute game. I killed those pink guys - or they died while I greated them. I'm not sure. But I found no energy. No idea what I should do. Kill them all?
Wow, this is a fantastic game. Well done :)
Sadly it crashed for me after playing for a while. I'll have to start again from the beginning now :(
I tried running it on another pc. It has win8 64bit and the game complains that it can't run because msvcrt71.dll is missing. That's the vc2003 runtime - which can not easily be installed on win7 and win8 64 bit. Could you compile a version against at least vc2005?
Finally! A Tower Defense! I was afraid there was none this ld :D
Just kidding. Great game. Gets a bit noisy once there are a few towers there.
Sokoban game mechanics are great! :)
When I start it, it asks for ip and port. I let it host on 8888, then a window comes up with the title "MDC" which is not responding. Does it maybe wait for other players?
Hahaha. I didn't expect that!
Protip: Don't set the speed to slow and try using any of the commands ...
Haha, from the screenshot I was expecting some strategy/economy simulation. Instead I got a raging train. True minimalistic experience :D
It took me a while to figure out how to download the game though ...
I just woke up. Thx for the comments. :)
@Katamori: For the native version, you need this: http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=30679
@nitrocrime: You jump between the dimensions every 10 seconds. Is it possible to miss that?
@Jupiter_Hadley: Oh cool, a video of my game :O
@anmorales: I hated that as well. I tried adding a button so you Switch dimensions earlier, but that took the uncertainty of when it will happen away. So in most cases, that was bad, only for the few waiting cases it was good. So I removed that key again.
kidanger: I saw yours, too. You posted in the #emscripten irc channel. More people should use it. It's just awesome! :D
neekobus: It's not a bug. There are sets of dimensions forming a level. So a level consists of 3 dimensions for example. You switch between them every 10 seconds. As soon as you finish one dimension, you only switch between the last 2. If there is only one dimension left, no switching occurs anymore until you finish the last one and get to the next level which again consists of multiple dimensions.
The finish state of the dimensions of the current level is display at the bottom of your screen. There is one square for each dimension of the current level. A green square indicates a finished dimension. A blue square indicates an unfinished dimension.
I also got irritated by the mouse look thing. I can activate speed and shield by pressing 1 and 2 on the keyboard. Is there really a need to unlock the mouse?
Besides that, cool game. More levels would be nice. :)
Great game! :D
This should have a story and world to explore. Circular enemy spawning around myself basically removes the importance of moving around in the world.
Very good game for 48h!
Reminds me of Robot Unicorn Attack. I'm so bad at that game - and yours as well :D
I don't get it. Clicking instructions doesn't work for. Can I do anything else but running and jumping? I always bust into particles after 10 seconds without knowing what to do :/
Is there a goal to achieve? I played it and thought: This is an endless loop. But it's called test chamber, so maybe I get tested if I can escape it. So I realized that the door I went through closes slowly. So I went through the next door, picked up one ball and went back to the previous room. When the door closed, first the shooting stopped and I thought - yeah that's it. And the the room got deallocated I guess, because I felt downwards seeing the other room from the outside. Then I thought: ok, that's not supposed to happen :D
Nice game.
It's a bit hard to get into T-junctions. It's frustrating to restart a level because I was too slow getting into a T-junction. Also, personally, I don't like luck part in games. For example two exits where one is wrong or multiple paths where some have invisible walls and I can only choose randomly which one might be the right one. I stopped playing at that point.
I also find it complicated. I didn't really know what x meant. I figured out, that send has to take a number as parameter. So "send 2" sends green squares down the tubes. But sometimes nothing happens instead. Buy and deploy doesn't take numbers. "buy 2" says, that such a thing does not exist.
Great game. Various items, monsters etc.
However, the 10 seconds aren't really there. Right at the beginning, you get a lot of mana and very fast 2 minutes time. I died because of running into a monster, while I had > 100 seconds left - And I made a lot of unnecessary steps forth and back.
Wow, this is hard. Level 1 was already too difficult for me.
This idea is great! I first thought, ok I split, the others will move around randomly and will jsut be in my way. Then I realized, I control them all. I wasn't able to finish levels with lots of them though. Usually I split, I focus on one and the others die rather quickly.
I think you can expand on this idea. Like you could reach high places by stacking yourself onto each other.
Haha, this is fun!
I don't get how much anything costs. So sometimes I really wonder why I can build 3 small drone towers directly one after another and sometimes I can't build one of them for a really long time. Also, it would help to grey out the stuff I can't buy right now.
I agree with theholychicken. Waiting 10 seconds for the pc to make his move is a bit tedious.
Also, the mortar unit seemed a bit unbalanced. I win by just placing mortars.
Is there a way to lock the mouse to the screen? I always keep moving it out of the rectangle and focusing something else by clicking.
Apart from that, I noticed that my opponent does exactly the same thing as I do. Is this intended? That way, either both fall down or both stay on the horse.
Cool game!
Only the fullscreen mode was bothering me. I noticed you can turn it on by clicking on the circle in the upper right corner. Escape switches back to normal. But escape is also needed for some of the text in the game to go away. :/
