Play the game by resizing your browser!

PLEASE ALLOW POPUPS! The game only runs in the popup!!

Works only on desktop browsers, Chrome preferably (Firefox works too).

I'm not sure if it worked on Firefox. It was pretty easy to just resize the windows to one of the boxe's size. Maybe the second boxes and the black wholes did not work? I don't know, but I am more rating the idea behind and the potential. So: very nice :)

That's less than one screen! ;) Really neat idea.

This looks like fun! My tiling window manager controls window positioning, so I'll have to try this on a stacking wm. Nice logo too :)

Woah.

It's the most creative submission I've seen so far in this LD.
But how to beat lv2? My pop up resizes itself so fast I can't even touch it.

When the popup resizes, let go of the mouse and let it do its thing! It will stop animating at a certain size and then you can keep playing.

My browser can't shrink small enough!
Vtor8 Dec 2014, 06:53
Wow! Great Idea.
On Safari it does not work because the square is a little larger than the minimum window size, on Firefox it was a little choppy.

Gah, I was afraid some browsers wouldn't let you go shrink enough. Oh well, try Chrome if possible :)

Interesting idea, which plays with the theme in a clever way :). Needs more game, but hey, it's Ludum Dare.

This is pretty novel. I've never seen a game based on your actual browser window before. Also perfectly fits the theme. The game IS the one screen.
Jaenis8 Dec 2014, 07:26
That was something totally new! Great idea and execution!

Took a little while (and some comment reading) to figure out, but decently fun after that. I'm not sure I got it, though... just sort of felt like doing the same thing over and over for no good reason. Tutorial, maybe would help, or objective.

Great idea, not compatible with safari however :P

I never thought will be fun to play resizing the window! In safari the left resize doesnt work...

I just pushed a fix that should make the game work with Safari's window size limitations. Let me know if there are more problems! Chrome is still the best to use though :P
zompi8 Dec 2014, 20:37
Innovative - it IS! I'm not sure if it fits the theme of one screen, because there are lot of screens showing up, but... the theme is strange and can be interpreted in many ways :P

It is fun at the begin, but there is no challenge. It would be awesome if you could put some puzzles here.
But the idea is fantastic, kudos for this :)

very original use of the theme, 5 stars for innovation

A cool 'outside the box' interpretation! I did have my cubes completely dissapear on me though mid re-size and I couldn't find them again (causing me to lose). This was on Firefox.
TriSquare9 Dec 2014, 01:15
Very Cool Game, Hard to control and should implement key input to make resizing more fun. Also The Audio was blastin in my speakers and it hurt me.
ParaPup9 Dec 2014, 03:07
That's Crazy very very great concept.

The concept is absolutely BONKERS in the best way possible. I was laughing my ass off trying to play this on Chrome for Mac, because level 3 makes the window go nuts and resize itself all over the screen (maybe because the scrolling text in the title bar?) Firefox worked beautifully on Mac, though. I got a high score of 15. Brilliant execution of the theme; I've never seen anything remotely like this game before. OH and I love the particles on the edge of the screen!

Awesome idea! totally unique. not much gameplay. definitely worth developing further.

I tried it in Safari first and I couldn't make the window narrow enough, but like you said Chrome worked fine. Very cool game, I couldn't get past the second level, and wasn't sure exactly what was expected of me... but interesting idea, and a unique take on the theme. Good work!

It's really an example of thinking outside the box, and it's the second submission I see using browser windows in this LD. Gamewise I'm not entirely sure I understood what to do, I just sat resizing my window for a while, which was ridiculously funny considering the circumstance. Interesting!
Wertle10 Dec 2014, 22:48
This was a super cool interpretation of the theme. Really innovative and cool. I had a really hard time figuring out how to play the game (for those reading through the comments trying to figure it out - you need to resize the window to touch the edges of the square), and even after figuring out how to play, I wasn't too sure what the ultimate objective was. Nice job!

@johnbrynte What's the other browser game? I knew other people must have used the browser windows but I haven't found any.

@Wertle You just keep going until you run out of "resize energy" (yellow border around screen). Thanks for playing!

A cool idea for the theme! Unfortunately as it stands it's almost more of a tech demo than a game. Would be cool to see the resize mechanic used for more!

Good idea but need more things to be fun. Did you what Managore made last LD (hop slide)?
I like what you made with the window's title!
foolmoron
foolmoronauthor15 Dec 2014, 20:50
@dunin Yes I've seen Hop Slide and I love everything Managore does and he's amazing and I hope I can be 1/10th as awesome as him one day .__.

The innovation on this one is up the wazoo! A fascinating experiment, but a bit tedious as well.
janovbyrnisson16 Dec 2014, 21:04
Interesting game, I don't really get the goal of it, but you can have fun with constant resizing of the browser window. :D
mrexcessive18 Dec 2014, 14:38
Hi there. Interesting idea. Found it a bit of a nightmare for clicking outside the window while selecting - but my mouse is crappy... Good job!
Xanjos18 Dec 2014, 22:13
Really clever take on the theme and well executed.
