Move bubbles with your mouse to spread darkness into people's mind
People can enlighten you !

And... That's it, no real objective, no game over, no score... !
(And no story, no level design, no sound, no nothing...)

Ho ! Another unfinished game ? Yeah !
I did not find a lot of time last week-end to work on this project,
and I am at the office Monday, so... I will not deliver on time... !

But working on this was fun, I hope you will enjoy playing with the boids engine

Sorry for not finishing, but damn ! It's hard !

(Big <3 for Ludum Dare)

I dig the concept here. Your mechanics are actually really fun! "Unfinished" if you say so, but I like the submission.

Lucho925 Aug 2015, 00:06

i like it, especially the concept

It's a really interesting toy! I hope you do a post-competition version and make it into a game!

baykush_figtree25 Aug 2015, 02:35

Unfinished yet interesting, those "thought corruption" mechanics could easily be applied to narrative-based games. awesome

Qaterknan25 Aug 2015, 03:31

This is a very nice looking prototype of a interesting game idea! I would like to see a post-compo version

Very nice approach! I loved this "contamination" thing, even a not finished game I will vote it!

Love the boids engine :) Very nice background art also !

cbstegeman25 Aug 2015, 23:29

Very interesting concept. I agree with everyone, you should give a thought as to how you might be able to expand it further outside of the jam.

TsN_RaMPaGE26 Aug 2015, 00:29

The mechanics and idea are awesome. Wish I could have seen the finished product. But still, good work!

This is a really interesting idea. I'm not sure I understand the mechanics here but this concept should be further developed. Also, the drawing suits the idea really well.

Rulrite26 Aug 2015, 02:50

An interesting idea; I'd definitely like to see it developed further. Your art style, as always, is wonderful!

Thanks for the <3
It actually gives me some motivation to finish it !

Geckoo133727 Aug 2015, 03:44

Fun. An impressive physics. It's not a game, but I like this concept. Thank you ++

Dianouille27 Aug 2015, 20:27

Playing with the boids engine is fun. And I like the concept. Too bad that you can't finish this ;( . And the art is great.

peterkirk27 Aug 2015, 20:36

A good concept that was well executed even in an unfinished state.

Avalanche Games27 Aug 2015, 20:39

Interesting take on the theme.

Pietro Ferrantelli27 Aug 2015, 21:35

Good prototype! Loved the background image and the theme, and the mechanic is well executed. Physics is top notch. What is phenomenal is the fact that it's one of the most memorables entries I've played so far and that, without any sound, story or objective... I'm impressed. Great entry overall !

I liked the idea of "spreading darkness into peoples minds"!
Too bad you did not finished it. Curious to see what you will make of it. I saw that you updated it, I will keep an eye on you!

Cheers

Not going to lie I thought for a second that the white ones were white blood cells and you were a virus. Anyway it plays well and the concept is there, but I would have liked something more to do. But That's just me. Good job!

RoundFork27 Aug 2015, 23:41

It was fun to move around! Can't wait to play one of your finished games :)

Newah28 Aug 2015, 04:39

Very interesting concept! I liked it.

Pierrec28 Aug 2015, 05:34

Nice mechanics. Too bad you had no time to finish it

mathijs75028 Aug 2015, 11:02

Currently the game is a bit on the boring side. The underling concept really makes this. Keep at it, the post jam version is already a lot more fun. Would steal letters again

dunin29 Aug 2015, 12:22

ood start for an interesting game.
Cool background.

6DownStudios30 Aug 2015, 01:09

Very original idea! The engine feels really smooth and satisfying, art works too; style juxtaposition of the boids with the background art works too, really brings out the character of the people (and animals) without distracting from the engine. Quite glad you submitted this; wouldn't take much more to make it a complete game, and I really dig outside-the-box entries like this one.

Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.

+1 for boids!
