Think if Thomas Was Alone was a rage game, and you're getting where I was going with this.
Made Possible Using: - Gamemaker Studio - AS3SFXR - Photoshop
Controls: - WASD/Arrow Keys - Move - ESC - Go to menu/Exit Game - R - Restart a puzzle - G - Give up on a puzzle and move on - B - Go back to the last puzzle.
Well, this is the first game jam I've successfully completed.
Since I used Gamemaker:Studio, I apologize for the install. My play testers assure me it'll be worth your while. Also Mac Version coming soon.
I liked the mechanics you came up with, and how they played well together. A few of the levels seemed a bit too hard, but overall there was a nice difficulty curve.
Very nice, this is much more complex than I expected! Also the controls are very smooth which makes it quite a fun experience. It was indeed worth installing.
This was so much better than I thought it was gonna be when I first started playing. So far the most addictive game I've played in the competition. I've made a couple of puzzle type games within 48 hours so I know how hard it is to get the difficulty right and I think you did a brilliant job with that.
The sound and graphics are simple but it does the job. I think another sound effect for when the time runs out would be good, rather than the same effect you get when you die. The constant beeping sound actually adds tension.
I prefer the gameplay of this to Thomas Was Alone. All you need is some beautiful music and a celebrity to narrate it saying funny things. : )
That was pretty fun. I loved how you syched up the lasers to the sound of the seconds ticking down. It got ridiculously hard towards the end, and I had to give up on a fare few levels. The "give up" feature really saves the game, because without it I would have gotten stuck not even half way through the game. My only real complaint is that some levels felt like a battle against the controls rather than solving a puzzle, more so towards the end. It was hard to keep up with all the different colors of cubes. Still, it was a overall great game.
Good game! Surprisingly large amount of content given the short amount of time you had. The pinging sound is pretty annoying, and I'm not really a fan of the rage-platformer genre (particularly messing up control order). Great first entry!
I really liked this! I am fricking stuck at the fourth floor, but I haven't tried hard enough ;) I like the sounds, and the graphics, and the idea itself.

Really nice work! :D

Awesome little game. The stages where you have the other boxes are really hard. Well done!
No installer next time please (or use the proper install path, e.g Program Files)
