This is my first Ludum Dare, although stressful it has definitely been an enjoyable learning experience. "barry-cade" (I normally sneak a character called Barry into my games) is a basic constant scrolling avoid the obstacles thingamabob.
Thank you. I agree it does need a funky beat in the background. Sadly my music skill is 0 :( but it is definitely something I will work on for next time.
Neat idea, definitely has room for expansion. Additionally, you have made a game about colour that a colourblind gentleman such as myself can play. So could on you!
Thank you. Originally it did not speed up as quickly but it felt a little to slow to get into. So in the end I went with full speed quick and fast. The best I have done was in the 800 mark. I might expand on this after the compo and slow the game down a bit and add stages etc.
That was fun... only managed 445 points, I feel I got painted into a corner on some runs, do the arrow key movement speeds increase as the forward movement speed increases?
Thank you. No the arrow speed stays the same. I think in hindsight it should speed up to a set point and the start to slow down again... so it come it waves.
with sounds it would be perfect. feels like a first-person-endless-runner and maybe that's how you should market it, and you really should bring it out big.
130 points! I had a hard time steering - wasn't really sure how "big" I was. Loved the graphics though - simple and beautiful. Reminded me of those Japanese "human Tetris" videos. :P
Love it! Good usage of the theme. Very clean and pretty looks. I maybe would've liked to see some inertia in the sideways movement and the font stands out a bit too much but otherwise this is a great game.
It's a really nice game and I wish I could use the mouse to move I'd feel more in control because sometimes is it like " I know where to go but just can't reach it in time " :P
BTW my best score is about 750 so I've been playing it for a while :) Good job !
PS: I agree with the other comments you should include audio and if you could make it go faster or slower in the same way as the game goes that would be really nice ^^
Congratulations on your first entry. xD I got vertigo after a while (and it's rare for me to get dizzy while playing) It's minimalist, it's fun, the graphics look like Mondrian (loved it). The only thing that it lacks is a good backgound track =P. I hope to see your next work soon!
While I'm still not sure what blue does, (Speed neutral?) I liked this game, a lot. (I also submitted a FPS endless runner :P, probably a reason why I like it.)
