Schist is an abstract game somewhat about mining. It is written in HTML5/javascript (with WebGL), with some level preprocessing in C++. Sounds were created in Reason.

Requires WebGL; it works well for me in Chromium on Linux [33.0.1750.152 (Developer Build 256984) Debian jessie/sid], your mileage with other browsers and OS's may vary.

Further notes:
- if background music does not start, try reloading.
- also works for me in Firefox on Linux.

Pretty cool game! I love the music and sound effects

The audio is probably the best part about it. Love how addicting it gets.

Nice riff on artillery. The graphics and sound fit together nicely.

I really enjoyed this! A refreshingly unique game! :)

Enjoyed the mechanics. Rather curious as to how you did the destruction and rendering.

aeveis28 Apr 2014, 03:42

wow, very polished, the rendering and sounds are great. It works fine for me on Windows 8 64bit Chrome.

At the beginning it was confusing to me, I didn't know that I should pull an invisible slingshot. But once I figured it out it's really fun. The angry bird mechanic is really a masterpiece.

I love finding beautiful gems like this in the middle of an LD-rate-a-thon. Everything works together so nicely. I've been on it for 20 minutes now just to listen to the soundtrack.

Nice music and art! Strangely addictive and relaxing.

I really like this! Reminds me of worms when you launched the missile and it blew up the terrain. Fun to play!

Beautiful graphics and great atmosphere.

Very atmospheric, the musical element made me fall into a rhythm with the shooting.

The "mining" mechanic reminds me a bit of Worms.

The game should keep track of the smallest number of bombs used to finish a level, so that I can try to beat my records.

Really cool. I liked this one. Solid game.

Very well done! Super satisfying and relaxing mechanic. Only thing I miss is a challenge, but the audio and graphics and everything is simply great. I would definitely play a longer game like this :)
