Ancient technology – it almost can’t get any more ancient than the wheel!
In our game you invent (or reinvent?) the wheel. It’s very simple: Draw the wheel and see it roll down an ancient greek pathway. If it reaches its destination or not is up to you – the rounder and better your wheel is the faster it goes down the path.
Controls: use the right mouse button or finger (on touch devices) to draw the wheel .
There's a highscore where you see how well you did against other players. Also, there's a WORLD RECORD which you can compare your own score.
We wanted to make a multiplayer-mode too, but unfortunately we didn't have enough time. Please let us know via comments or personal messages if you'd appreciate a multiplayer-mode, and we will implement it when LD36 is over.
Team:
Stefan Laubenberger: lead developer, scripting, level design, brains
Lucien Ryter: idea, highscore, multiplayer (coming soon if possible), scripting
Dominik Castelberg: GUI, graphics, level design, scripting
Gianluca Scarciolla: music, sfx, textures, animations, scripting
And now, WHEEL ON!
UPDATE - We released the version 0.9, which fixes/includes:
1) Overdrawing - You only have a limited area in which you can draw.
2) No more timer - You have an infinite amount of time to draw your wheel.
3) Updated controls - You now draw with RMB, which appeared to be easier during our testing.
4) White flag - You can now abort your run and retry.
