One minimalistic game for the 26th Ludum Dare, only one level but in perpetual evolution.
Can you reach the better time?

Very nice idea but sooo frustrating :D great game!

Really creative. After I got the gist, I thought it would be super easy, but it actually got really difficult

Really cool! Nice idea

Thanks a lot :D
I wanted to do more levels but I haven't enough time, therefore the game is really short.
If you enjoy it, I can create some level editor.

Really great concept here. It's a bit of a challenge to keep up as the level evolves, however there's no real penalty so you can keep improving. Fun!

After the end, for more difficulty I'll implemented one nightmare mode: if you die, you come back to the first level.

VERY nice idea, and game ! One thing I did not like is having to repeat everything over and over.

Doesn't work on Mac... it terminates immediately

Your java version is up to date?

Great and challenging game, a little short but very good.
Liked the music.

My best score is 1:25 ^_^

Theoretically a java program could run on every platform. Unfortunately, I haven't Mac OS X, therefore I can't see what's wrong.
Sorry for Mac user.

Great idea! Annoying but satisfying :)

A good idea, done in a very minimal style (which looks just fine) with nice music (is it random?).

Two things that might be improved (I think):
- the responsiveness: if you enter a green block you immediately move from the new position. A small delay would help also because of the other point:
- It's not easy to see where your block is transported to. Some transitional effect would help.

But a good game!
Oh yes: I think the game doesn't need the timer. Just progressing is enough I think.

This was fun! Completed in 5:07. The last level is TOUGH!! Nice job.

Nice concept. The controls were a bit buggy but other than that it's a nice entry. The download was a bit fat thou. Oh and ignore the guy who said it doesn't work on OS X - works just fine ;)

Thank you for your clarification on Mac problems.
And yes controls are somewhat imprecise due to a lack of time.

That was cool. teleporting mechanics were a little hard to figure out at first but I got the jist. Nicely done!

Creative game, but it got frustrating after a while.

The controls feel a bit slippery and the whole exercise feels more like a memory test than anything. It's a clever concept, but it needs to be expanded on.

This is a cool idea! I like the idea. The only thing I don't like is the third teleport is to close to the death zone. I keep moving to fast...
noaauthor13 May 2013, 05:41
It's more an "try and die" game than anything else :p
twelveplusplus14 May 2013, 20:39
this game was huge! cool idea though, and very minimal.. i wasn't sure how to score the graphics, cuz i get the atari 2600 style... and it's definitely minimal... but, lol... cool game :)
