"Wunderworld" is more a toy than a real game. Make your own adventure, within a tiny dungeon!

==========

BEWARE: The webplayer version will save your levels in the registry (under Windows at least). With the standalone, you can trade levels with your friends (levels are saved in the "levels" folder within the data folder)!

==========

Controls Edit Mode:
WASD/RMB/ScrollWheel - Movement
Q/E - Change Slice
LeftClick - Edit
RightClick - Pick Template
T - Test Level
F5/F8 - Quicksave/load

Controls Game Mode:
WASD/Mouse - Movement
LeftClick - Attack
Space - Jump
T - Stop Test

Tip: Don't make levels larger than 20x20x20 or so, this version is highly unoptimized.

==========

UPDATE: I uploaded an updated version on Kongregate (see above), so the Mac mouse movement is fixed in there, it has a preset level, and you can delete a level now. Also stairs and lava were added. UPDATE2: The Kongregate version now has the option to share a level with your friends! Please try it out and post a level in the comments. ;-)

Ha, this is great. It's a great sandbox, and I love the blood-effects :). It would be even more awesome if it had a few levels already prepared, so you could jump right in.

ratkingauthor23 Apr 2012, 02:10

Yeah, I wanted to do that, but somehow I lost my testlevel right before submission ... :( Thanks for playing!

Pretty impressive for the time frame. Nice visual style :D Good job overall.

RedWater\wzl23 Apr 2012, 09:49

Pretty cool, the editor is very barebones yet, but nice sandbox you have there :D

Lidfrid23 Apr 2012, 09:58

i think it's a good start, that definitely needs at least one level already prepared!!

Taugeshtu23 Apr 2012, 10:00

I like it a lot! Lovely art, lovely sound and GODDAMNGOOD controls!

the8donut23 Apr 2012, 10:45

The editor is very simple yet quite fun to use. Definitely a great concept! Also, the game is quite polished, good job.

marudziik23 Apr 2012, 10:52

Wow, it's a massive thing. Pretty impressive. Love the visual style.

Danik23 Apr 2012, 10:54

Awesome, like a primitive cross between Minecraft and Quake. Cool! Just wish there were some levels to play.

sdwil2k523 Apr 2012, 11:25

It's a game in kit-form, I love it.
some options to modify control settings would be good, I found them a little sensitive in 1st person mode. Nicely executed.

Madball23 Apr 2012, 11:34

That's a rather nice and comfortable editor. You should continue working on it. And pay attention to gameplay.

Toast23 Apr 2012, 15:34

Given the timeframe this is very impressive.

tcstyle23 Apr 2012, 15:49

A great prototype for a level editor and game, but not a game in a strict sense at all. I really like the visual look of it.

Alex Gilday23 Apr 2012, 19:06

Fun! Graphics are nice, the idea is nice too :) I think some preset levels would be good. The music is a little mixed up, some bits seem like calm melody played over a fast drum bit :/

Darkfrost23 Apr 2012, 23:20

Awesome! Good idea, pulled off really well, easy to use! Would've been really nice to have a prebuild level with it, or an easy way to save/load levels from a textbased format that we could drop in the comments :p

ratkingauthor23 Apr 2012, 23:34

In the standalone it really is a textbased format! :-)
I didn't test that with the Mac version though, where it saves the files there ... :-S

joekinley24 Apr 2012, 09:51

Awesome toy. Really awesome. Great work. I can see this turning into some pretty nice games.

volkanongun24 Apr 2012, 10:13

this is becoming popular!

Hazard24 Apr 2012, 12:43

Very nice idea to let the players build their own levels. Would've been great to have one predefined level, though.

Tifu24 Apr 2012, 18:22

Great, like others say, would be awesome with some premade levels. The video I saw on youtube seems to have lava and stairs as items you can place, but these things don't seem to be accessible to me, is this a bug or are you working on an update or?

samoojamies24 Apr 2012, 20:35

I made too hard level :D. Slick game/editor

ratkingauthor24 Apr 2012, 21:13

@Tifu: Yeah, it's my current version, which I just uploaded at Kongregate!

envy3d24 Apr 2012, 21:57

Very impressive. Bravo good sir!

derrickdool26 Apr 2012, 05:37

Tons of fun sandboxing. Hope to see this develop outside the 48. Definitely sunk some time into this.

Johnicholas26 Apr 2012, 15:55

This fits 'build it and then use it' as well as 'tiny worlds'. AND IT HAS KITTENS!

Ranoka28 Apr 2012, 16:22

Great game, amazing accomplishment. Shame you didn't have time to put some starting levels in the LD version. The editor is very intuitive and easy to use! I also really like the ultra low-poly style graphics.

Rémi1 May 2012, 18:24

Very impressive! I really like the blood effect!

AlwaysGeeky1 May 2012, 19:25

Really nice concept, great to see another block-based game, like mine :) I love games that include level editors too!

Oye Beto1 May 2012, 23:12

Minecraft made easier and with more interactivity :o

This entry has a big future, keep updating it! :D

LukeRissacher2 May 2012, 02:13

Awesome - this really inspires me to want to explore and experiment with a minecraft type engine. Guess I can tackle that after I try making a roguelike - and a Terarria game - and a platformer - and... :)

recursor2 May 2012, 14:11

I really like the cat warrior death sequence and the fact that you've included a level editor in a 48 hour game. The way you have saved levels, particularly in the post-compo version, interests me. It appears to be a better version of what you did in the compo entry. Any hints on what you did? Did you compress the text or encrypt it or something? Anyway, quite impressive!

ratkingauthor2 May 2012, 20:33

Thanks everybody!
recursor, I just compressed the text via BZip2 and encoded it with base64. Or anything like that, I don't really understand it fully, but it works, even without plugins in Unity! :-)

Thotep2 May 2012, 21:17

Haha, this is really fun! I like the graphics, blood cubes are just great :) Wish there were some example levels to play.

Jhelle2 May 2012, 21:46

Very nice editor to play around with, can make some pretty awesome stuff with this. Loving the 3d art too!

minism3 May 2012, 04:50

Wow really well done so much fun

jedilemons3 May 2012, 18:43

Very awesome! I spent a while playing with this and I loved the visuals :D (Thanks for the comment on my game also ;))

amodo4 May 2012, 10:53

Very impressive what you did there.

Pierrec6 May 2012, 13:35

This is a very impressive work. I haven't enough patience to build some great levels, so I'm gonna try the post compo version...but stil...woah...can't believe you've made it in 48h!

Tom 77 May 2012, 01:26

This is pretty cool. Minecraftesque. I do wish some levels came with it so that I could get the hang of what I should build, since in my first level I fell out of the world pretty quickly. :)

thegreystudios11 May 2012, 16:14

Really nice idea :) I would have loved one or two tutorial like level that you could just play and see all the features. Simon

jplur12 May 2012, 22:14

Saw a lot of hype for this entry and it's well deserved, very solid dungeon maker, would love to see continued work on this!!

Codexus13 May 2012, 09:40

Nice level editor but where is the game?

ratkingauthor13 May 2012, 16:47

Make a level with enemies and a goal and press T! :-)

Cake&Code13 May 2012, 18:20

Some of the sound effects were a bit irking, but I like the level editor and how you can just jump in and play or jump out of it at any time. I had a good time fiddling with different environments. :)
