The poor little cube "cuby" is captured in the world of minimalism. Even if he can't see the world properly at the beginning, he will make his way out - with you! Help him to escape!
Note: This game doesn't include everything I want it to include. E.g. there is (atm!) no highscore leaderboard, I got stuck with the final level (so I had to remove it to keep it playable :( ) and it's missing sound( isn't that minimalistic?). So keep up for the jam version I'll upload and link here.
But this is my compo, this is what I did this weekend. Feel free to dig through the source (if you dare, it's pretty messy^^) and to make pull requests for the repo.
I wanted to create a good old highscore game, like astroids was. Simple gameplay, but it's damn hard to beat the highscore. Unfortunally you got to wait for the jam version to compare your highscores... Sorry guys!
It seems like we got inspired by the same thing and ended up at the same name, but we made completely different games. :D I like the concept, although it strongly reminds me of something else. The collision detection and resolving is not quite right and there are too few levels. When you make a post-compo version, with more levels and more stuff, this can really be a cool game.
@klianc09 What game does it reminds you? The idea came to my head when I thought about old games, I'd love to find a goldie again :) The collision detection (at least should) be pixel perfect :O But it resets you to the niext tile position, so it seems to you as you would jump. I'm currently working on that and some online leaderboards. Follow me @bitbyterstudios to stay informed.
@meat_popsicle: Got any stacktrace for me? I don't have a osx to test it, so unless we find someone who knows to fix it, I guess I can't fix it :( Try running it from commandline like this(shell in folder): java -Djava.library.path=native/macosx -jar ETM.jar
@LoneStranger Yeah, I had to remove the final level which should be endless (like astroids) :( But I'm on it, this are just ideas I implemented quick 'n dirty.If I had enough time I could make a 10 hour game out of it ;)
I agree with everyone else: loads of potential, definitely liking where this game seems to be going. "More, more!" is the best feedback for a game, haha. Keep developing it! Add high scores, add more levels that explore some more mechanics, add in audio, and post a post-jam version. :D
Small update: Leaderboard works now, I'm currently integrating them into the game. (Minimalistic) audio is implemented, but atm not working as I want. If you want the WIP version, just download the repo and pack it with the needed natives.
Thanks for all the nice words and the constructive critics :)
