Funny concept, I've been there, asking my parents for coins to play Pac Man !
Graphics are retro.
But game is too hard (for me).

Funny concept, I've been there, asking my parents for coins to play Pac Man !
Graphics are retro.
But game is too hard (for me).
A classic, not very fun, but well executed, I didn't have any bug.
I loved the arrows trajectory, the fact that they stay on the target.
And a very beautiful piano track.
the road mood reminds me of David Lynch movies... creepy
I have an issue, I can not read texts. Probably it's a font issue. I'm on MacOSX and I play with Chrome.
Nice concept !
Great and clever concept, fits very well with theme !
Not enough levels, because of only 48h probably.
It would be so cool to have levels with less fires than petards, so it's becoming more a puzzle game.
Here, with what you have now, you can also make it into an educational game for children learning to count.
Great potential on this game.
Fun but too hard.
A quick amelioration would be to make the space bar trigger the next try as well. Having to take the mouse just to start again makes it less addictive.
Games of my childhood, revival !
Nice graphics and music.
I like your concept.
hope the game won't be too hard.
For me the difficulty curve is too high.
But concept is clever / crazy and graphics are nice
soooo nice ! slick graphics
Even if simple, graphics are very good looking.
I spent some time playing before I realized I could use the mouse, and you know what ? I prefer the gameplay without mouse, trying to avoid reds. It's catchier, dynamic, our player movements are so much enjoyable that I'd rather move around than concentrate on firing at targets.
(and game seems maybe too simple / long with firing)
I think it would make a nice second concept.
Here is the proof that without graphics, without libs, without audio, but using a good concept and writing good code, you can make games that feel good to play!
Well done !
Lack of time shows a lot. But game could be funny
Loved the music, constructed loop after loop
Innovative graphically speaking. Wonderful audio !
Seriously, these are among the most beautiful graphics I've ever seen for a video game. Very found of the mood, sky, lighting, everything....
I played your preview during the contest, and came back to see the finished game.
I must say I'm somehow disappointed by the game play. It's good, but far from excellence of the graphics.
You should enter this in jam mode and not compo, because even if you have legal right to use this music, Compo rules forbid it.
A very good idea. Nice feeling, having to stop the gravity... just like in sci-fi movies, but here we feel it.
Calibration is perfect, game is short and funny, perfect way to spend 10 minutes. Well done !!!
Thanks for the kind comments. Some replies :
@greysphere "I ended up closing my eyes for the last couple, is that cheating? ;)"
hmmmm let me see.... YES !!!! ;-)
@Jhelle "Didn't really enjoy the game myself"
Yes, same here. It's not really what we could call a fun game. I wanted to explore on perception, because one of these days I'll try to launch mini games on this theme. This first attempt here makes me see that the player is too passive. Something is missing.
@Delca "is it possible to score 1000 points on a test (personal best was 998-1ms too late) ?"
Technically yes, if you achieve 0 ms. But it will be by pure luck, because your browser does not listen on keyboard or mouse events every millisecond.
Hey, you are right, we all almost the same came concept ;-)
Only I mess with player with music, and your approach is more on the mood and vision.
Your take on it is very interesting, if I was better at graphics, I would have gone your way.
Director's cut is hilarious !!! Very creative.
Mood and graphics are great !
Becomes a bit boring soon
Interesting concept. Nice to be able to travel back and forth, it's very fluid.
The main default is in the level generation, that make them not very interesting. You could design some levels yourself in order to make it more strategic, or work again on random levels.
cute graphics !
Chrome works for me.
Lol, at first I thought I was a terrorist and I had to kill max number of people ;-)
Then I realized it's the opposite !
Funny and innovative concept
Good calibration !
Only, you should keep going and add more levels like this.
Simple yet effective, sometimes glitchy.
You don't need to offer 3 lives, one is sufficient, and we can start over directly every time
I've lived this same situation ! But without my classmates helping me and being expelled ;-)
funny idea. It's pretty hard ;-)
Not quite made into a game... but the idea is still very interesting.
wonderful graphics !
Impressive ! You invented a good strategy game. Perhaps a bit hard
Innovative and fun. Really worth spending more time to polish it and make it into a big game.
go through intro every time is too long... and because I'm bad at the minigames I lose almost immediately. Frustrating, because it's seems to be very fun !
what a carnage ! red all over my screen. This was fun. I like the fact that when you take a hourglass, it restores all your time. This adds a bit of tactic, you can stay around a second hourglass just in case, a shoot from here.
Works very fine on Chrome. Well done !
Beautiful graphics. Sound is hilarious. Well done.
You should modify your algorithm in order to avoid impossible situations, otherwise games relies mainly on luck
good polish, nice ideas, I love these little guys.
We are guided through the game, difficulty, which often lacks in LD contest.
Kudos !
404 error for me too
Was buggy for me. But I find the concept, plot and graphics attractive.
Hey Grifdail !
Good job, it's fun to play. Beware, I think you didn't handle the frame rate properly : depending on the browser, speed is not the same.
Very nice entry. Good graphics, great mood with the audio.
One thing you could add is a visual feedback when you hover a square to make the queen move.
Agree with a lot of others : you should work on UI. This game has an addictive potential.
good idea !
Math education could benefit this type of ideas and games.
Well executed, for a 48h game !
I liked the voices.
Only, it's a bit hard !
It was laggy on my computer, so couldn't really enjoy it. Seemed very (too) classic at first, but special ability add something innovative and fun.
It worth polishing it and tuning it after the jam, will be nice to play.
+ Very clean.
+ Minimalist graphics are good.
- Was too hard (for me)
A cellular-automata game ! Great idea, and beautiful graphics.
Could you add a replay button when it took too long to complete ? My first try was really bad, it never ended, I had to relaunch the game.
And without giving us the simulation rules in detail (that would spoil the puzzle), you could guide the player with one or two vague indications.
A promising game. Spend a few days working on it, and if it's well balanced it will be very good.
It's way too hard, but great concept, great graphics and great audio.
Like others, I agree : a day it too long
Little hints for those of you who are stuck :
A : color ?
B : reflex
C : color = code
D : spam
E : find
I think the C game is indeed the most difficult one. It will take several tries and errors, and good observation sense, to get it.
@Tsumei : I realized the sound is too loud, sorry ! I made a quick fix.
@tommakesgames : too bad :-( . I don't know what could have gone wrong, I use Chrome, and these are only classical jQuery effects. I'll have to investigate.
You said it's your first "complete" game : you can be proud, it's very enjoyable. Nice concept, nice execution, the game runs smoothly, levels are well conceived.
Well done !
Clever idea. It's very simple, but effective.
Very well executed. The controls are neat ! The intro is soooo effective, with the entrance getting closer (at first we don't see it), with perfect timing.
Maybe a bit difficult, it's more fore experienced gamers.
Funny idea. I agree with others comments : some metrics and scoring would add the need to replay again and again to do better.
You could do an easy level too.
I agree with @Lyje : frustrating on perfect timing, otherwise good !
Depressing, but brilliant idea !
+ an original and interesting idea.
+ nice animations
- character moves too slow
- sound is soon annoying
On Chrome, I had issues playing it : lot of lag, and I loose abruptly, without knowing why. Seems like you have performance issues, because of the high graphical quality of the game. Very nice graphics indeed !
