The This Quest by Endurion 2011-05-03T19:13:00
I think it fits perfectly the theme (logical :p ) and is quite fun to play, if not very original !

Very nice game, congrats !
Cool game ! Liked dashing around :D
Love the idea !
You HAD to go and redefine what awesome and overkill mean't, didn't you.
Good job :)
Great entry ! I loved the intro :P
Maybe a checkpoint just before the boss might have been cool. I didn't have the courage to go through it the third time round.
Other than that, it's awesome. :)
Very cool ! I love the tension it creates, when a pilot runs to you while you're getting shot at :p
Had to rate 5 for humor ! xD
Wow ! Graphics are simply awesome... Basic mechanics and short, but it fits the theme perfectly.
The audio was a bit annoying, which is a pity because this is really set for some atmospheric kind of music.
I think this is an astounding, perfectly polished job for the LD :)
Awesome game ! Fits the theme and the combat mechanics are really cool !
I should fin someone to play with. Can't rate as I only saw the Aether Void... ^^
Theme not obvious, but I had some good fun seing the atoms link together. Racked up a 190k score, I don't know if that's any good ?
Great idea ! It is difficult though, I didn't get past 2500 points.
Congrats for your entry :)
Technically interesting but I don't understand how that fits the theme... Hardly looks like a game really because i don't seem to be able to control anything :/
Cool idea and pretty atmospheric ! I guess I got the "good" ending.
Very innovative indeed ! The sound is indeed a bit annoying, but as the game is very short it doesn't matter much.
About the theme, the "take this" is missing.
But otherwise a very cool game, I had fun playing it ! Nice work ! :)
Sorry, I have no Mac !
It's good ! Nice graphics, pity there are no sounds. I didn't encounter any bugs.
Class A game. Great job !
Very cool graphics :)
Awesome apart from the camera jumping around.
Also... it seems like you crammed the perception/reality theme into this one. ^^
It's a simple, yet cool game !
The only point I might find a bit disturbing is the concordance with the theme in the sense that it isn't really dangerous (apart from a few spikes.)
There is also a bug, if you touch the bottom of a block with your head you can walk as if you were standing on it.
Apart from those details, good job !
Simple, and a bit empty, but it was bug free and fun :)
Very fun game :)
Maybe the asteroids should make your points drop quicker. They're hardly a nuisance.
Oh, and bonus points for your nickname. :D
It's a cool and nice idea, a pity you didn't get time to really finish this. Instead of an instant game over, maybe you could have made monsters of the dark start chasing you or something when the light goes out :p
Hardcore ! But fun :)
Very fun game, loved the infinite bag idea :D
Failing to launch too :/
The start menu launch worked !
And I've got to say, it was incredibly fun :) Don't know why exactly, but I really got into it.
It's a solid LD entry, you did a great job !
Doesn't work for me either, Win7.
Cool idea ! A pity it was so short.
Torch light might be a bit too small.
A pity there's not much content and it gets laggy on level 4. I find it a bit repetitive too.
Maybe some description of what actually happens during a battle could have been fun, what with all the items :D
Didn't work... A pity, it seemed interesting :(
Fun, frenetic game :) The flamethrower is very powerful though the way it leaves a trace behind.
Yeah, the links are dead :(
Nice tech demo indeed ! It's an interesting mechanic.
Eheh, it was quite a lot of fun !
Eheh, fun game ! Good work, it's smooth and bug-free. Pity it's so short !
@Phen
Had that bug twice. Indeed, it still needs a lot of polish, balancing, etc... Might do it if I have some spare time actually :) As the core is indeed globally done, it shouldn't require massive work (apart on the generation bug maybe).
@randomnine
Yeah, probably a bug. The last hours were quite hectic and I cut corners, so I might have missed a bug like that in combat... negative value or something.
Another very bad bug is that with the best armor on, you're invincible. Which kills the fun (so little tip, don't wear ice armor, if you want to enjoy the game!).
Normally, you should get some feedback by pressing SPACE after an attack ? It pops up each time an event occurs (using item, looking at item, combat, etc). I'll update entry description so people don't have to figure this out.
Thanks for the comment ! Yes, indeed, you were dying. That was the last 10 minute brush up so it's not very explicative.
The giving HP bug seems to be quite recurrent too, probably with ice armor on and against goblins/orcs.
I would have loved to put loads of items in, it is something that's kind of missing in the original rogue. As people seem to enjoy playing it, I'll probably take the time to really polish this !
Yeah. Didn't have time to make a help section :(
Well, when a event happens, it might not be the only one : say you're attacked by three gobelins. This way you can go through the three messages, that's the use of Space.
There is indeed a "bug", more something I didn't have time to correct. So you'll have most of the time a empty first message (that's why it doesn't show anything at first).
Thanks for commenting ! I know where I have to correct things now :)
Yeah, i runned out of "polish time", sorry about that.
Thanks !
Yeah, I should definitively do that. Don't know why I didn't, actually !
@ExciteMike
Just to be sure, you have to press the same key again to close it, after having opened it (and maybe equipped something).
If it's another problem, I have no idea what it is :(
This game was real fun ! I enjoyed the name changing too. Couldn't get past 1 point...
I got the inside minigame, but failed terribly at it x)
I found it really fun ! ^^
I loved how you mocked the theme a bit.
It is a nervous and speedy game, and the audio fits the game perfectly.
Great entry for the LD !
It's too short, but otherwise very original and cool :)
Piercing Zombie Thrower = most epic gun ever.
Very cool game. I like the random weapon idea, it gets so mad sometimes (Heavy Fish Machinegun...)
Very, very impressive :)
Loved it, maybe not enough challenge, like ennemies chasing you or something.
But great entry for LD, congrats :)
Very interesting concept. Good work on the graphics too.
Needs windows exe :)
The physics are great, but I just didn't get the hang of it :(
Classic story choice system, but it was really fun ^^ I loved all the RPG mock references !
I think it's a good take on the theme ! Maybe more coop level design could have been cool, but as mintman said that makes it easier to rate. Good job !
Indeed ! That was a nice touch ^^
Nice idea, though I don't see how it fits in the theme ?
Great job, very polished and cool game ! Especially for 48hrs.
Too hard for me !
Interesting take on the theme though.
Cool interesting idea. The difficulty curve is too steep, and dying on the last bee is really frustrating !
It's pretty basic, but it works well and I ran into only a few bugs.
Good job :)
It's a cool idea and the fluid is amazingly done.
Bad parts are indeed clumsy controls and brutal introduction (but I personnally don't mind that much.)
A good entry for LD. A pity you didn't have time to implement the sort of laser charging at the end.
Very cool job. A pity about the checkpoint though ^^
I didn't have the courage to start over again.
Simply awesome ! Inventive, fun and smart. Good job.
I love the particle effect, maybe a small alpha fadeout would have looked even nicer.
Plays well, the only problem is indeed that it is very short. But great job :)
A good entry for LD ! It's got a nice amount of content :)
The mechanics and art are really cool :) Good job on that game. A bit off-theme perhaps, though.
