Press Enter to toggle fullscreen for best quality. (Internet explorer does not support fullscreen). Please report any problems you may encounter so I can try help to fix them.
Important: There has been an issue with the firefox version. I'm hoping it is fixed now (at least it runs on my machine in FF). Please use chrome or the desktop version if you encounter any problems (and comment here so I'm aware ;) ).
Game Rules ----- Try to get to the goal tile marked with the flag. You have to eat all the pass all food tiles before you can finish the level. Locked tiles cannot be passed until all keys have been passed.
Controls -------- ASWD/Arrow Keys: Move Direction Enter: Fullscreen R: Restart M: Pause/Play music I: Toggle Icons (I initially made the game without the icons, but added them last minute. I find the visual style much more appealing without them, but in some levels it's useful to have them ;) )
You can make your own levels in the desktop version. A readme is supplied. Only a paint program (that supports transparency) is needed ;)
Other Stuff ----------- All content (except for level 9, thanks for cthulhu) has has been created during the compo.
I used libgdx and tilegrid (a self made library with some utilities. Probably not much worth looking at ;) If you're interested you find the tilegrid source on my github ).
The rest (game logic, screen fx, music etc.) has also been done during the time of the compo. For the sfx i used bfxr, the music was done with ableton live. Was a lot of fun. I need sleep...
Hey. Thanks for the feedback. The idea of the game is, that the 32x20 playfield is a screen ;) i didn't want to represent the player as moving object at first, but wanted to show the position of the player by intensifying the pixels color... plans didn't work out. So you have a player object which is running on the screen pixels :D
Hmm... From your screenshot it looks like the player went just past the goal (which should not happen). I have some suspicions on why this might be, but not yet sure about it, as I could not reproduce the problem. Hopefully I can find the bug :D
Neat concept, there was some frame drops/lag with audio when I would move too fast the block animation would freeze up and the sound would be off but that may not be your fault
Spent a lot of time on this one, brilliant game. Had trouble on the one which was like a grid, there where so many ways to go it was confusing, but thats not a problem. Sweet! :)
Thanks for the feedback guys :D If you get stuck and you want to try out the other levels you could try out the desktop version (requires java). You can run that version with levels from an external folder. I added an example cmd file to launsch and a folder with the existing levels for the game. You remove the levels you can't beat and then start it :D A little readme is provided in the zip package.
This is a lovely concept. Would have been better if you could 'fall off' in order to restart when you get stuck though. I didn't realise you could restart by pretting R until I came back and read the instructions. Quality visuals and audio.
Audio really makes the whole mood of the game here, fantastic. For some reason I'm stuck on the level with the key, after opening the door pixels the blue pixel doesn't trigger completion. Apart from that, love it!
I couldn't get past the key level either, the goal doesn't seem to have an icon on it at that level. But the desktop version works. It's quite challenging, well done :)
Hey more feedback. Thanks guys. I'm also not that happy about the player, but all other things would not work out (mind I'm very bad at making graphics or chosing colors).
As for the issue. I followed a hunch and tested the entry in firefox and I had the same issue. Hope I can fix it, but at least I can reproduce it now. I hope I can upload a fix in the next few hours...
This is pretty cool, I like the weird music and the colourful visuals, makes for quite a trippy mood. The gameplay reminds me a lot of a game called Sensitive on the C64, which had a similar 'move over falling tiles' concept, so it also had like a bonus nostalgia feeling for me. Pretty cool!
Nice puzzle game! The graphics are pretty nice, so as the animations at the start. Also nice level design. Only respawn could be little faster. Good job

I can't seem to get past this part.
Otherwise, the game is pretty fun and I like the way you went about the theme! Great music too.
The movement is a bit jittery, but works.
Nice game!
But I LOVE all the categories!
Obs. I got stucked at the key level, the goal simply doesn't work.
