this game is so minimal that you dont even have to get to the game level to play

use arrow keys to move

your name is V and you have to catch the yellow I(s) while escaping from evil red L and E

potatoes included

made with Construct 2 in about 8 hours

little update:
someone told me that the game is impossible to finish without the possibility to continue from the last screen.
no its not! I finished it today (for the first time) and i added a video to show you that is possible!
come on! you can do it!! :)

Once I "got" it, it all clicked, amazing job man!

Nice game, though you can get completely stuck on the blocks really easily.

Good idea! Maybe a little bit frustrating.

Bit scary for a first level, fun once you get the hang of it though :)

I like it! Remind me the Atari 2600 or other Amstrad CPC of my childhood! Thanks for the fun.

Really cool! Though the music burns my ear holes a little bit, the game is very well done.
HelkeGames29 Apr 2013, 10:50
Well Done! I loved it :)

Very creative.

The voting system needs a grade for potato, you included potato thus i would have graded you positively

The sfx are awesome, particularly when you pass a level. What did you make the sfx in?

This is the most addictive LD I've played yet, very well done

@erdos
yeah we'd totally need a potato grade for voting! hehe
for the sfxs they're all made with the suggested BFXR (http://www.bfxr.net/)
for that sound in particular i obtained it by clicking a hundred times on the "randomize" button until i found exactly what i was looking for :)

lol, yeah totally insta-died the first time- good stuff! See you used Construct 2 as well; used it for the first time this weekend. Think it'll be at least a prototyping tool for future design work.

I like this game... Great use of texts for the objects, it was a good idea for a minimal game. The audio really fits this game, feels like playing the classic 8bit games :D ...

fun and challenging!

Clever but a bit too frustrating. I'll try again later and see if things get better after the beginning

Once I realised what was going on it became quite addictive. Good audio feedback, it works really well with the art style. Good job!

Very cool game idea :D

Such a unique idea using the level information as the bits of the level! I really liked that aspect of it. I could see this becoming a lot more interesting if expanded upon...

Excellent! Great idea for the theme.

cool game

I really like this concept! It's too much easy to be slowed by those blue rectangles.. it's a pity for that :(

Btw great game! :)

Nailed the retro look and feel perfectly. Although getting to level 8 and dying stupidly made me want to throw my laptop through a wall ;)
Great, infuriating entry :)

You used to form a word together... and now they're your enemies !! Very cool entry :)

Really like the concept of redefining the elements of the level screen. Good use of the theme. Congratulations!

Very original game!, i love it, but difficult!
loxo2 May 2013, 17:35
This game is really minimalistic and I think this could be the winner. But it takes a while to get used to the controls.

I really like how you used the theme. You exemplified getting the maximum effected out of a few objects. Nicely done... I couldn't make it past level 7 :(
pereubu2 May 2013, 19:13
waw, best use of the theme so far D:
robmozart4 May 2013, 17:59
I like your interpretation of the theme. Great job : )
SaintHeiser6 May 2013, 02:02
I hate randomized levels because of relying ONLY on luck and not on my SKILLS.
But this is really awesome minimalistic game. I like how you play around the theme =)
Excellent work, dude!
JustinMullin7 May 2013, 01:30
Hah! Awesome. The presentation was flawless - I kinda wish I could start on the last level I played, 'cause I'm really bad at this and can't get past the first couple levels, but it's very fun.
bramvq7 May 2013, 18:40
very cool game, i like it.
evilDan10 May 2013, 08:52
Freakin' incredible! Very very satisfying :D
naufr4g012 May 2013, 13:20
Awesome game! It's very difficult sometimes but it makes you start over and go further.
Really original idea. :)

A little bit repetitive, each level looks quite the same (despite number of | and randomness of explosion), but it's a nice idea!
