I couldnt rate this game because on the loading screen Unity crashes and comes up with an error report =\

Might be my computer so I hope other people are able to play and rate the game.

Which platform and browser plz ?

The game crashed on first try (web version on safari + osx yosemite), but on the second reload I got to play. At first I was wondering that why is the game looking so strange, but it turns out I was flying upside down :D

Should the other powers work (dragged from inventory)? Maybe I was out of mana.

Nice game anyway! I loved Magic carpet back in the day (the reason I tried this entry :) )

NICE !!!!

Kalinkaauthor20 Apr 2015, 10:10

Thanks for testing ! Yes, didn't have the time for some corrections. For now, have to keep mouse on center on screen to avoid upside down, there is no automatic recovery.
Second point is better power control with mana and reload time mecanism.
I will try to make a post-mortem version with this stuff ;)

Kalinkaauthor20 Apr 2015, 11:29

and yes, most powers should workd :)
some likes seism should be casted on sand

Took some time to learn the controls. Pretty great game, imo. Although it crashed after 10-15 seconds.

Aladdin simulator! :D I like it, specially the "minecraft" look and the construction of the towers, it looks nice. It's a pity that it doesn't have music, and i got a bit dizzy after a while.

Keep up the good work :D

This was so fun!!! I liked it at first for the cool ability to fly on the carpet and to attack from there, but then i discovered the volcano looking ability and I spammed it everywhere trying to see what would happen!! definitely a great game that im glad I played!

also got me wanting to try out the game this is based off of

Like all 3D games in the ludum, this is impressive, and I'm sure that Sr Peter Molyneux likes this !

Kalinkaauthor20 Apr 2015, 15:27

I hope so ccglp !! :)
Thanks all for reviews !

webplayer crashes on IE & win8.1

Ilseroth20 Apr 2015, 15:46

The controls and camera made me sick, and on firefox the unity player popped up the dev console and spouted tons of errors at me

Kalinkaauthor20 Apr 2015, 15:49

texdata, sorry for that ! Prefer windows version
Ilseroth, wait to try an occulus rift version :)

oskardevelopment20 Apr 2015, 17:46

Hi! The game is awesome! Cool 3D and world (flying enemies, comets and so much more!), though took a while to get a hang on flying.

Great game, good luck!

Johan Blade20 Apr 2015, 17:56

The controls feel great once you learn them. It's fun to fly around, would be fun to see the concept expanded upon.

Paulozz21 Apr 2015, 20:03

I like the idea, but it make me feel dizzy (mouse lag)
I played the windows version.

agmcleod22 Apr 2015, 01:39

Really had problems with the controls on windows. For the first 10 seconds, nothing would respond to button presses, then all of a sudden i was in a twirl :(

Kalinkaauthor22 Apr 2015, 08:12

Apparently, this take some time to finish loading the map when game start :/
I will bugfix all this problems when i have some time

Kalinkaauthor22 Apr 2015, 13:24

and you have to press forward key to begin moving. It can explain why it does nothing at start

kabutakogames24 Apr 2015, 08:48

I like the movement once you get a hang of it :)

Liked the flying carpet transport method, the quad angle for was appropriate.

TyrusPeace30 Apr 2015, 06:19

I like that there were a lot of spells here, but the lag in the controls/camera really were dizzying and nauseating.

The shear amount of what you did here is way impressive, but it could certainly be made more pleasant for the user!
