In a different take, we made an entire game on, as in about, one screen. Trace the history of the computer monitor, from lightbulb to LED, and dig around as a snowman archaeologist to find parts to upgrade your monitor.

Let There be Pixels!

Watch out for skeletons and falling rocks!

Controls:
WASD or Arrows to move
SPACE to throw snowballs
ESC to pause
H hides ingame help
(Moving also hides help.)

NOTE: This game requires JavaFX. Most people should have it anyway as it comes with the standard java distribution package. If you do not have this, the following JRE does: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html

We believe we fixed the failing to start issue, please let us know if it still happens.

Very interesting take on the theme, evolution of audio was also very cool!

Could not run this entry =/

Have Java 1.7 installed, file opens but nothing happens.

Gotta admin, this was quite fun! I love the interpretation of the theme.

Hey, that was pretty neat! Like Forge said, the way the audio evolved that awesome. It reinforced the feeling that I was progressing!

Nice! A bit more work maybe...

It was an interesting idea and an original take on the theme, but the gameplay could use a bit more juice.

Couldn't run! D:

I didn't see the screenshots, so I wasn't expecting the snowman thing at all !

So, a mix of boulderdash and evoland, that's funny. Good job :)

Neat idea making it get sharper and sharper. Fun game. Thanks!

Fun game, audio was great!

Hellequin9 Dec 2014, 19:24

Great audio! Nice game overall !

I loved this while it lasted! The game started as a few lightbulbs, and it became sharper and sharper, it's ingenious! Love it, but I died when I got the colour monitor and it went black :(

Cool game, the second part reminded me of an old game called chips challenge.
