---------------POST JAM EDIT------------------- So i (Markus) overslept the last day. I was supposed to get up and merge my code with the fancy menue code of Robin. so the code & art for the menue was actually done during the 72 hours. Anyway, please rate the original version (java & source). The other one is just here because we have it done so we might as well upload it...
About the Game: It's a turnbased 2 playergame. You can either play it on one computer by sharing the mouse or by a local multiplayer. There is a brief explanation of how to play in the "how to ...?" section on the bottom right of the screen.
ps.: if you want to concentrate you can toggle the movable ice shells, the moving water and the snowflakes

About us:
We are a team of 6 students:
-Robin Schuler: Code (ingame menue) -Achim Grossmann: Music & Animations -Felix Krauss: Art (platforms) -Dominik Schmidt: Art (platforms) -Garam Kim: Art (warriors, whale, snowman, coin) -Markus Schmidt: Code & Animations
In my game, you are meant to go through the walls if you make a wrong move, in other words, death! :D

The timelapse is available in 60fps?? Awesome! Haha.
I need to find someone to play this with, playing it alone was good enough to learn the mechanics but I can tell it's going to be a lot more fun with an actual opponent! The art is also very cool. Nicely done :)
Interesting rules! Actual gameplay is fairly slow, so it's kinda tough to make it through a whole game, but there are some cool mechanics at play here.
Interesting! A two player board game kinda thing, I like it. Does it really work with online multiplayer? If so, that's kind of amazing. ;) Anyway, just playing against myself, it was kinda fun. I can tell you put a lot of work into the graphics. The problem I had was that a lot of the platforms were unconnected, so it was very hard to make a path to get anywhere. (It was also sometimes difficult to tell which platforms were actually connected.) So I think it needs more polish and balancing work, but it's a good accomplishment!
@ justin, well you need the time if you actually play a real match vs someone else
@ cake oh yeah its pretty awesome against other players, we are pretty sorry that we couldnt make it run via internet (its possibly within a network or via mouse sharing (we,the team used hamachi to play against each other)
@sharky, y that isnt possible, only to persons in a network with you
@ chaoseed, the path should be hard to make! and for the difficulty to see what platforms are connected you can turn of the movable ice shells then you should see it better ^^
Cool little menu, launching the Local Multiplayer mode took.. quite a while, might I say too long? hm, it seems a bit stuck on launching. Using windows 8.1, I just updated Java earlier today so it can't be that... Not rating yet, is there something I'm doing wrong?
well, it shouldn´t take that long. True you have a bit white screen while loading the animations etc. My laptop needs less then 30 seconds to lunch but with a less good it might as well take 1-2 min i guess. Unfortunately we cant shorten that time unless we erase some of the animations
A lot of game in this, 165MB of game even. Largest LD game I've downloaded so far.
A nice idea and rather well executed too, though there were some things that could've been clearer. It could've been helpful - for instance - with a small graphic showing just which directions each platform will connect to when placed. Something like a small box in one corner where you draw a the connections. Another thing that would've made it a bit more unique would be to have different textures for the summer/winter platforms, something like ice and rock.
Interesting concept, although depending on the initial board configuration things can go heavily in favor of one player. Also, the visuals are very busy; it's a bit hard at first to figure out what's going on.
The characters look awesome. The game concept could be interesting and fun. Currently however it is hard to figure out if two fields are connected. This makes it a bit tricky to play.

We absolutely recommend to watch the timelapse it´s amazing D

Either way, nice graphics and sounds.
I'm not sure that dig in gameplay. But music is lovely!:)
