Ludum Dare #37compo
The Next Dimension
Hello!
This is a randomly generated maze game where you must try to find the flags, even though some areas are blocked off.
To do this, you can hit space to switch dimensions, you aren't in one room after all.
Once you switch rooms, the maze will be completely different, making you able to move where you could not before.
On your way, collect coins, and play as many times as you like, because of the randomly generated mazes!
THIS IS MY FIRST COMPO. Normally I do Jam. This is my 7th LD.
Hope you like my game!
EDIT: for some reason the audio wasn't playing. It is fixed now.

@Kizler I was planning on having enemies, but decided to not add them thinking that they would take away from the puzzle.
There are actually 4 generated worlds, but I agree, I think it is kind of too many.

@George W. Bush what?

Cool concept with the overlaying dimensions, but think it needs more to be an enjoyable game. I like being able to see the next dimension overlayed, but it's annoying having to release shift to press space first. could be interesting with something chasing you perhaps.

game was shiet
ajayajayaj14 Dec 2016, 14:06
@impbox I really should have added enemies.

The idea is not bad at all, but indeed added some ennemies could have bring some more interest to the game, beacause it is now really easy as we can spam spacebar until the way we want open. :)

@Yami no tenshi I didn't know if it would make it too hard or not, so I decided not to include them. Also, I do have a mechanism to block spamming space, it hurts your eyes haha.

Good game. Please add .exe file to links. It will be easy to start playing. Please add improved graphics solution and more gameplay featues!

@Alecander Kondyrev I am using Google Analytics now so that's why, but I'll try to make it better (redirect instead of link)
ajayajayaj19 Dec 2016, 13:22
@Alexander Kondyrev Fixed For you. Now you should get the download box without clicking anything.

Cool idea. It was a little tough to play, the key presses kept failing to register for some reason. Neat concept though!
Dejvo19 Dec 2016, 14:39
nice one. but could use a bit of something...
ajayajayaj19 Dec 2016, 20:11
@Justin Mullin I think that is because you can't hit space while looking with the overlay. There shouldn't be keys failing to register other than that.

2 predrawn worlds would have been better than 4 generated ones, because I did just go trough it by spamming space. The mechanic itself is fairly intriguing though, so good job!
ajayajayaj20 Dec 2016, 13:52
@mirta000 Thanks, I probably should have lowered the amount I agree.

Switching dimensions is fun, even if you just looking for a pass to a collectible item. :)
Would love to see more puzzles based on that feature.

@Coauctor Awesome. I really like that mechanic. I'm happy I got it implemented. Thanks for the feedback.

Good maze game which could be improved with other features, but it is good enough. I had fun playing it. Well done ++

@Geckoo1337 thanks!

I really like the concept and the sweeping synth music. Currently, there is no penalty for hitting space until I can go where I want to go, so maybe you could have tied that to the number of coins collected, e.g. 1 coins allows for 3 dimension switches. Either way: I like the concept!

Really cool concept! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/jorB_de2Urk

I think if you limited it to 2 or 3 randomly generated worlds at the start and toggle between the three, it could make interesting puzzles.
Also, a very simple set of enemies moving around to make it a bit challenging.
I like this game. :D
