Simple game where you draw lines to redirect moving entities back at the walls they came from. You start out with 20 points and when you run out you lose. You gain a point for every entity returned home, you lose a point for every entity that makes it to another wall. Starts out simple, but can get hectic real quick. See how long you can survive.
Plays best using an actual mouse or touchscreen.
Uses a runnable jar file.
Built using LibGDX, SFXR, Eclipse, and Paint.NET.
Written and tested on Windows, but since it uses Java it should in theory work on OSX and Linux.
That was fun, and surprisingly difficult! When I first started it, Level 2 wouldn't finish, even though there were no cubes to be seen (maybe something to do with the randomized cube placement?). After that it always worked fine, though. I really liked it, it's a fun little game. And well-made, too.
btw, the JAR worked fine on my Linux machine (64-bit Debian)
Hmmmm , the idea is simple,the game play is good, the sounds is annoying :( , at one time the red entities kept moving from the top of the red line to the left end of green line one after one .
Cool idea. Pretty hard to do well after a few levels. Could see this concept work extremely well if it functioned on limited number of lines or length, rather than high speed (pause and draw kind of thing). Nice work!
Nice idea! Really minimal as well. Sometimes a cube spawned really close to a wall and with full speed I lost. Maybe put some restrictions on how they can spawn.
Pretty cool idea! I thought this was original, and interesting, and minimalistic. I did find timing the line drawing a bit hard to master. Often I would draw the line, but let go of my mouse button a hair too late thus letting the block pass through. Maybe tweaking that would enhance the fun factor a bit more. Good stuff.
I really enjoyed this! Thanks. I would love to see a few difficulty changes to make it a little more accessible (more simple tutorial levels, maybe slower blocks overall, etc.) Nice job!
It's a simple working idea that leaves a lot of room for further development and iteration.
Two things annoy me quite a bit though: -Sometimes a cube spawns very close to an adjacent wall and flies directly to it over and over again. -Moving the mouse outside the game area while drawing a line doesn't create the line, but rather does nothing.
The first one could be fixed by: -Setting the spawn direction away from the nearest wall -Randomizing the spawn direction -Spawning always in the middle of the wall
Nice game! Drawing lines is a little annoying sometimes, because the mouse keeps leaving the screen. Also, too many entities right at the beginning of the later stages usually destroyed my score... Still, it works generally well and really needs some skill. =D
Great mechanic well implemented. It get rather challenging as the levels go on. Fits the theme well. Only critique would be possible softer tones on the audio, as it was a bit jarring compared to the visuals.
You should finalize a line when the mouse pointer goes out of the screen so the player can keep up with the action while not being so precise about the moves he makes. (clicking all around the place wildly)
