Originally wanted to make a tower defense game, but couldn't find a way to use Construct pathfinding for side view game :/

So it's still not a game; couldnt work the first day cause of gf :P
Hope you enjoy, I wish I had more time to polish it.
Linux port coming tomorrow, going to sleep!

EDIT : linux port added; changed host for web version; updated dropbox links so you don't have to log.
(couldn't get web version work with dropbox so I used my personnal website, now dropbox is the host.)

Great visual. Beautifully crafted. Sadly as you said, it is not finished. Would be interesting to see what you wil do with it in the future.

Shame it was that short, very nice brushed art!

I love the art style and I love the music ! Liquids and physics are a great opportunity for interesting gameplay concepts, don't let this project die after Ludum Dare !

I would love to see where this goes! Well done on creating such a great atmosphere; you've definitely got the basis of something really cool.

Gosh it's pretty! Please expand on it outside of LD!

The art is absolutely beautiful. I also like the idea of putting out embers.
Bitterdeath21 Apr 2015, 06:41
Amazing. This is the kind of gem I hope to see in LD.

Great Visuals, but not really fun. After a bit more work on it, it can get a real great game!

Very good start! I am excited to see further development in this. There are so many possibilities with this game

Amazing graphics. the liquid has potential for interesting gameplay

Nice art and mood music. Clever use of particles. Worth developing more imo. Nice effort.

The start of a potentially fantastic game. This is the sort of thing I wish that I had thought of first. The aesthetics are incredible for a game jam game - actually, beyond that, they are great, period. The way the aesthetics and the mechanics played together with what could be a massive library of puzzles (I can see dozens of them, maybe even hundreds, just from the little preview you showed) make a game that I could play for hours.

Short it may be, but it evoked a much stronger emotional response than many other games I saw. I only wish there was more!

Graphical masterpiece. Needs gameplay now. Keep us posted as soon as you have something new ;-)

Man, the mood you created here was pretty stunning - great job. I really like the slow downward scroll with parallax, haven't seen that presentation style much in games. Very neat.
Embalaje21 Apr 2015, 10:18
Really beautiful!
The graphics are like a painting.
I´m impressed, keep working on this, you know that you can get a great game.

Impressive for only one day!

Great parallax and use of focus on your scene! Hope you get a chance to work on this sometime later, you have a cool kernel of an idea.

Beautiful grahics! What did you use? Wacom, ArtRage? Great style! The music is moody and the game is way to short :)

Keep up that good work. I'd love to see a small adventure made by you!

Greetings!

It would be nice with some sound for when the water hits the fire people.
jhell22 Apr 2015, 14:05
Definitely beautiful, would love to see some gameplay in there :)
Manouauthor22 Apr 2015, 16:08
Thanks for the comments so far.
@Prowler : Artrage for the drawing and Clip paint studio (manga studio) for the paint job.

Too bad it was so short, it looked very promising. Really nice painterly art style and soothing music.

Great job giving a sense of visual depth with the blurry elements in the foreground and the sharp background ones. The stylized visuals and music contribute to an intriguing atmosphere. Looking forward to seeing what you end up doing with it.
Kate Kligman25 Apr 2015, 19:20
Beautiful visuals and good music. Hope you're able to continue with the game.

Beautiful graphics, nice mood, fitting music and a good use of the theme. This could've been something really special if finished. Still, it's pretty impressive.

I think you have a nice style, and you manage to set a mood still with that short demo.
