Hated controls a little... Hate when I do press a button but it does not react ;(

Hehe, funny idea indeed :)

Nice graphics and use of theme. Good work, sounds lack here very much, at lest "closeness" sounds effect is needed :)
Stylish graphics, kind of fun, and yeah, so short that leaves you wanting more :) A good sign :)
Wah, nice graphics man, and smooth game play, not very innovative though.
Very good presentation, both audio and graphics and old cartoons imitation or something.
Hmm sadly its kind of too slow for my taste... Makes it little bit less fun for me.
HHaha, nice use of theme, liked music :D Good work :)
Woah, multiplayer :) Sadly impossible to play alone no?
Wah, nice graphics man, and sounds. And game is somewhat fun. Great work.
Wow, best game I played so far, fantastic graphic, cool sounds, fun game play. Good work man.
Concepty is interesting, sadly does not feel to play so good. Allowing to making many of black holes probably not a good idea. May be one with variable size/charge would work better.
Anyways good idea but somehow does not feel that good play.
Very nice concept, control feel weird though. As if the longer you hold them the weaker they get.
Failed to finish it on first run, tried now the second time and was screaming in frustration... I seriously don't get the controls. What is mechanic of "weakening" of controls?
Anyways got till lot of small dots continued by few moving dots and was thrown back to the start.
Anyways, I really like the concept, with some more work it can make in to a great game. If you re imagine controls for touch you can make it in to a decent Android game!
Haha, funny idea, initially it is "huh, escape?" thoughts :D
Controls do feel pretty good :) Did not manage to pass first level so far, will return to it later I guess.
Hmm start BTW is too rough, I guess you should have left little bit more time at the start.
Hehe, entertaining one :D Good job :)
Heh, liked that creeping guy, does have some atmosphere.
Nice work.
Here you are Makc :)
As mentioned before simple but funny :)
Haha, man we both used Conway's Game of Life as basis for your games. Though your is more of a game then mine.
Its fun, but something is lacking...
Firstly beauty of Convay's Game of Life is not seen.
Secondly game lacks depth somehow... Some score and ending resources should be added I guess.
Anyways, fun to see someone trying in same direction as I did! Good work!
PRetty nice game, some curious artistic moves there, but by the end felt too long for its own content.
Interesting concept, lacks something to be fun for me, hmm.
It kind of reminds all those "guitar hero" games, just no music dimension.
Hmm, my be its because I can't relate this to real world activities in some way that would made it fun for me :) Mashing buttons in music rhythm games feels more fun probably cuz it relates to music instruments and rythm part of them is better visible then here...
Really nice sounds, and style. Somehow reminded me of old Another World game.
Awesome graphics idea, check! Though -- for not smooth movement, just bothers eyes too much ;(
Fun, check!
Theme check!
Audio, minimalistic check! :)
No humor, check :D
Mood, I like how other balls gang on you, as if they are trolls, check! :D
Nice simple game ;)
GRrr, not the dialogues... Too much retries too... No time to play it grr :D
Very nice graphics but damn, the waiting and retries kill the fun for me ;(
Sadly lacks sounds for mood. But yeah its LD so all is fine :D
Still great, great use of simplicity.
Wow, man it plays as good as it looks! Awesome job man!
Lol, can it be finished? I am too lazy at the moment to try that much, only got to read circle flying out...
And probably best representation of theme Minimalistic. Its just one button, circles and squares :D
Yet it is fun! Could be cool mini game in some larger game. Aka hacking a computer or something.
Nah, not hard.
I think potentially it could be fun, its like minimalistic portal game :)
Nice, I like what you did with music.
Shooting somehow feels off... I guess something there is just not what I am used to in similar games so expectations of shooting and result feel off but not sure...
Wah, nice!
Wow man, nice game, nice and simple and has some new to me ideas in it. Great!
P.S Am from Latvia too, can you contact me somehow.
You can google me wonderwhy-er
Find me on some social network in case you want to know other LudumDarers from Latvia!
Controls are confusing me too but otherwise great game, fun, sounds, minimalistic, graphics. All great! :)
Wah man, what a nice game.
You need to add highscores with screenshots of how it looked when it collapsed.
I got 730. I bet its pretty fun with those versed in transportation and graphs theories :)
Please make highscores/screenshots for it. If you need help I am willing to help :)
Very nice game, funny, impressive for 48 hours and best/funny audio from all I tried so far.
Though little bit lacking on "gameplay" side.
Simple TD huh, not very innovating but minimalistic :)
Checked, there seems to be a bug, when you die words rest to wrong ones, so sometimes you end up with big word where it was a small gap...
Or was it on purpose?
Very well done game.
I like it, polish it and put out to Kongregate with ads or something!
And make dozen of endings depending on what sacrifices you make at which time :)
Well, its sure minimalistic :)
Love graphics but got repetitive too fast.
Hi, TechMonkay, thanks.
I know, will be working on a fix little bit later for precision. Noticed the problem too late.
Well I slept for 5 hours already, and am working on the fix for position bug.
As for restart and stuff, sadly on side of "content" and "balance" I failed this time but I plan to use this prototype to make proper balanced games on it later, will see, any feedback and ideas are welcome ;)
Hmm, and yeah sounds is curious part of it, I am thinking on allowing different sample packs later when I improve how sound system works, could make for great procedural music toy ;) Convay's song of life and death :D
Thanks RogueNoodle :D I was amazed too that I did not seen Game of Life made in to actual Game yet too, even though its a great "platform" for game making. Lot of research in to various structures, simple rules and game that may be as powerful as Go/Chess or other puzzle/strategy games.
On zoom yeah, my mistake, I fixed it a little in later version but it was probably bad idea to put it in to "requirement", while it was a bad idea to not put it in to a requirement too... Just lacked time to make it better.
Hey guys, if you seen games made out of Conway's Game Of Life please share! Would love to check them out.
Funkiside, thanks! Not exactly kind of game I want to make but still cool :)
GaminYourWay, yeah, need to improve text ;(
You need to pinck/mouse wheel to zoom in or out.
So you need to survive and learn to zoom in and out.
Thnaks glbs
Yeah idea is way better then implementation at this point.
I will create a blog/fb page latter I guess when I will have new results I can show.
As for my footage, joke is that its structures I learned while I was making it :D Some purely by accident.
As for last level shown it was pure dumb lack on my second try, which is not good actually for a game, that I passed it quickly on dumb luck >:(
Bernhard, reason for dragging is that I am actually was aiming at game that works both in browser and on mobile, also initially there was a feature to drag and rotate various shapes. I just did not got to making more levels where you can start using them.
Though right now I am thinking that first I will go in direction of "one pixel per step"
Still on mobile there is problem of precision so you need to see where you are putting the pixel before putting it somehow. But it still can be done differently in better UX fashion, I agree.
Really thanks for input!
@Jod
Thanks!
Yeah piano thingy was one of my "wishes" for it and it worked better then I excerpted from 48 hour experiment.
As for difficult to predict. I have number of ideas of where to go with, difficulty to predict is one of things to solve and I have idea.
Though there is bigger problem as there are shapes that create almost chaotic explosions of "complexity" which from game design perspective are unbalanced. So I will need to think of ways to work around it. But I do have few ideas already :)
@wzl
Thanks :) And yeah, when idea came to me I was too intrigued to not try it :D
Cool, checked and your game is as good as it looks on screenshots, which are good :D Rated!
Pretty unusual, took me some time to figure out what to do, yet it was actually fun.
But still confusing. But initially fun somewhat when you figure stuff out by trial and error :) I would say a neat trick for LD games, no need for tutorial if games allows easy trial and error learning :)
Anyways, cool game :)
o_o Incredible work for 48 hours
Lol, funny idea :D :D :D
Same here, and I have NVIDIA, look fun, will be waiting for never versions.
Wah, yeah works now. Great. Somehow controls throw me off sometimes but otherwise great game man.
16:20 46K score... Damn you eat 16 minutes of my life!
And yea MiniDota :D
BTW nice sounds, as for graphics is little bit weird.
Ah, I lack some kind of dll.
MSVCR110.dll
What it comes with?
Ok, worked now, weird game :D
I did not god how to not die from noise, sometimes I just can't grab rainbows for some reason.
Still curious game.
Score -200K
At most may be 3-5, did not count but more then two for sure.
Hmm, well I don't know :D
Yeah painted graphics is a nice touch but game itself...
Well, okey it has its own mood... Kind of like mood of sitting at the summer being bored and waiting for flies to come over to squash them...
It just that in this game flies manage to eat your food -_-
In other words, not a good mood this game has :D
Wow, got 0 on second try -_-
