Second Ludum Dare i do, and pretty happy of my choice of using GameMaker for this one. I've lost so much time last LD because of my poor coding skills.
So now, the theme Minimalism, the game Line. To be simple, this is my inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skb2gKR7rOk a TV show i used to watch when i was young. I mix it with minimal gameplay (kind of 1D gameplay) and what get out of this is a One Button game called Line.
At title screen use arrows to choose between start and quit and enter to confim, in game, use space to change upside down and avoid obstacles. Speed progressively increase to the infinite and when you hit an obstacles, you go to the score screen. Simply Minimalistic. And yeah, the sounds are boring :D
Hop you'll enjoy.
My GF is credited for her support during this week end.
EDIT: I've had a html5 version very buggy and with less features.
I'm trying to download the game on my Mac but your link on Google Drive seems to be linking to the content of Line.app (Contents, etc..). I had to add the file to my Google Drive to be able to download it.
it's funny I played/judged a similar game just before. I liked the music on the other game more but your graphics are way cooler. I love the concept that everything is connected line.
Sounds are stupidly funny :D I loved them. Sadly, the background changing color hurts my eyes when I was focused on those damn furnitures ! Cool arcade game with a touchy gameplay.
Cute! Nice and simple and I liked the rate of acceleration, just about right to stop it getting boring.
Totally minor point, but there's a couple places where shapes weren't actually connected to the line (like the floating heart on the chest of drawers and the TV screens) which feel like they slightly break the aesthetic of it.
That's a great game! Fun, good sounds (they make a kind of music), good graphics (except for the main character - he seems to be running backwards). And minimalistic.
realllllly awesome cool minimal visual style, but reaaalllllyy stupid sounds. i kinda wish you did more with this idea than just a canabalt-type run until you die thing, but it works alright.

Runners aren't my favorite genre but yours is very nice. Great work !
