this is not a entry, it's a mistake by gobstopper 2013-08-28T04:04:00

ugh.

Candelabra by DuFF 2013-08-28T03:38:00

Trippy, man. I dig it :)

10 Second Sculptor by nathanhoffer 2013-08-26T04:41:00

Thanks for the kind words everyone :) You can jump out of any the puzzles by pressing the Escape key and restart any level by pressing R. I suppose I could have made that much clearer instead of just sticking a message at the bottom of the Level Select screen.

10 Second Sculptor by nathanhoffer 2013-09-09T20:18:00

Thanks again everyone for the kind words! It means a lot for my first LD.

Yeah, I probably should revise the scoring system.. I was running into some troubles with that part of the game. Right now the scoring counts getting blank spaces correct as well. And some levels are 80% blank spots.

I needed to count the blanks somehow because you could put a block where there should be a blank space. Without counting those blank spots as credit, I was getting negative scores.

If I ignored the blank spaces in scoring totally, you could then just spam the bored and make a giant single colored block in the earlier levels. With only a few hours left, I couldn't think of anything better and just went with blank spaces counting equally.

There's got to be a slicker way. Let me know if you have any ideas :)

VIP by Unept 2013-08-27T02:37:00

If it was a bit faster, this would have been my favorite game in this ludum dare. I loved loved loved it though!

DeepField by loolpolo 2013-08-26T03:57:00

I didn't understand what was going on at first. Maybe you could just change the starting camera angle to help beginning players. Once I figured that out i had some fun. Good job on the first game!

Raging Clue by aayars 2013-08-28T02:22:00

Yay classic gaming category!! Good job!
