Hi! This is my first interaction with Ludum Dare. I hope MonoRoll will please you. Here, a ball rolls down a slope and there are obstacles in the way. You have only 1 Life, if you stop, the game will start over :)
The obstacles are procedurally generated, so the obstacles are different everytime you play it.
Good 3d puzzle game. I enjoyed the rolling mechanic and the help text as part of the game is a nice idea. The lower walls looked a bit too much like high walls and maybe we should be able to roll along walls for a while instead of dying. Well done! (My game also uses procedural generation)
Very cool concept, I just wish there was some kind of score at the end to tell me how far I got. I finally got the hang of it and was going along very smoothly then I got hit with the ultimate combination: a wall with a hole on the far right then a wall with a hole on the far left. That combo sent me into a right/left/right tailspin that I never recovered from.
It was pretty fun once I figure out how to play. I honestly didn't even notice there was a ball I was controlling until about 5 deaths because the color of the ball was so similar to the background. I think it would help a lot if the ball stood out more. Once you make one mistake its pretty dang hard to recover. Its pretty unforgiving. I also wish I could see a little bit more of what was coming up so that I could avoid overcompensating the next obstacle and then not be able to recover for the one coming up after. Pretty fun overall though.
Welcome to Ludum Dare! I always like this kind of game and you definitely added some challenge to the usual formula. I wish the ball was easier to see (it took several times before I even knew there was a ball). Keep it up, I'm looking forward to seeing more games from you.
