LD30 — Connected Worlds

I agree with the others, I really like the look and style of the game. As the others have said, including the author, there are some issues and it's not quite done. But what do you expect in 48 hrs?! Great Job!

Nice entry, I could see this turning into a nice mechanic for a larger game. (Also, thanks for the reminder about Linux builds!)

Good concept. Hope to see a full game with lots of levels in the future!

Nice job! It's interesting to figure out the way people talk on twitter when you look at a tweet all jumbled up like that.

I enjoy this... I want to play more!

I think this is a really solid entry. Great mechanic with the shadows and two worlds. Plus it's a great mix between puzzle and platformer.

Wow! How did you get so much done! You're a gamedev rock star!

The real world weather is a cool idea, and you've got a decent ambient audio track to set the mood. But never could find an elemental card, was too busy running away from the demons all the time.

@ahmedmohi
I've updated the notes to better explain what to do (not much really). But you are right, I was only able to complete the bare bones of my idea, so many features that I wasn't able to get to. Thanks for playing!

@r0x0r
Thanks for reminding me, there should now be a link to a linux build, but it has not been tested as I don't have a linux box.

@Teesquared
I agree the odds are not in our favor. Even if there were thousands of people searching, would anyone find anyone else? Makes me think in the real universe, even if there were tons of intelligent civilizations out there... what are the odds we'd actually find them?

The Search For Life by jmjd 2014-08-26T08:07:00

@r0x0r: thanks for pointing that out... copy and paste fail!

The Search For Life by jmjd 2014-08-26T08:10:00

Oh, and at the bottom of my notes I've been updating how many people have played. That was one of the features I wanted to include in the game, but of course, no time to put it in.

Anyone who plays the game, get's assigned a home planet. If you visit somebody's home planet then the game will let you know.

So far, 18 people played, no contact with one another.
