My original idea was to create a hybrid rhythm/sorting minigame for Android devices. The theme connection would be that you are routing inter-dimensional commuters on their way home from work.
Everything went smoothly, but due to having to work on the last day I couldn't spend any time making it LOOK like you were routing inter-dimensional commuters.
After cleaning up the initial mess of game play it turned out to be something like Guitar Hero. Its much better to play on a tablet than on a desktop PC.
It was finished before the Compo deadline, but seeing as I used nosoapradio.us for the music, some libs I created for the 7day rogue-like challenge AND my girlfriend helped with the German translation, it wouldn't be fair to call it a compo entry.
Overall, twas great fun. I hope you enjoy playing it as much!
Love2d 0.9.x is required for Linux and Mac.
Let me know what your high score was. I toned down the difficulty ALOT in the final version.
Fun game! I did not understand what to do at first, but the controls are really nicely done once you get the hang of it. Good difficulty. I enjoyed it!
Really fun game! I thoroughly enjoyed it! For a primary screenshot, though, definitely put a screenshot of mid-gameplay. I was expecting something entirely different. Also took me a while to figure out exactly how to "lock in" a color on a side.
Fun and addictive game! Really challenging - keeps you in the zone :) I LOVE minimalistic graphics and great music, that sets the mood. The game probably plays better on touchpads than desktops.
BTW, was really surprised to see it written with LOVE - I happend to have it installed on my linux box and played with it a little bit. Great framework!
I accidentaly resized window with the game, and all falling cubes turned into small squares. Don't know, was it a bug, or was this intented. Otherwise, nice time-killer game :)
Thanks for all the comments. I would definitely avoid re-sizing the window as it breaks everything completely. I would have disabled that feature but then it doesn't work at all on Android.
Music is from nosoapradio.us. I recommend checking it out. I have no musical skill whatsoever (except with selecting it)
Fun game. Also had a chance to play it at the Frankfurt Indie meet up. :) Now tried it at home on a laptop trackpad it's kinda hectic... So it's actually meant to be played on a multitouch device. Any plans on releasing it on the Play/App store?
