S - The Game

So simple yet so addicting! Good playing experience and great music. Add some more letters and you might just make a good buck if you publish it on the mobile market.

Nice idea and works well. Good job!

Nice, works better than I would think.

Nice idea!
And beautiful music

interesting idea and unity3d web work fastly. did you make music yourself?

cenullum: unfortunatelly no... its royalty free music. But im planning to make my own music... someday... .)

mine royalty free music too I was trying to make music with bosca ceoil but I couldn't :smile:

Nice one !
First I was like "it's easy !"... huge mystake.
Really like the style and simplicity of this game

THis is the game I want on my mobile. Limited mechanics but gods I like it : ) very satisfying experience and I like the music. It fits just right. https://i.gyazo.com/360029fe8b529333fe8b353280f56783.gif

Nice one! So minimalistic and still challenging and entertaining. Its impressive what kind of game you can do only with with "S" and dots :)

Nice idea ! Not much too add, I like puzzle games :)

Really interesting idea, I think the progression could use some work, and there's a lot of waiting around so you might want to reduce the time it takes to respawn a letter.

The controls could be better - half the time I'm trying to get something to where I want it to be rather than figuring out where something should be.

The pegs that appear and disappear are really frustrating, and not in a good way. I can't tell if it's based on timing or some other mechanic, and that just made me close the game. Some indication of what's supposed to happen would be great.

Also... What does this have to do with the theme?

In summary, I do like the game, but it needs more polish to make it really good.

I like the idea, the theme of the matches with the gameplay itself. At the 3 level i wish i haven't 5 "S". This gameplay doesn't need much graphics or sounds. Nice game and great solution.

nice puzzle game.

with clever new mechanics each level (that's moving dots!)

But why a so dramatic music, what happened to this poor S?

( I have 2 bugs (and I can produce the two in one screenshot)

I had a 6th S in the second stage, and few times, I put one S on top of one other and this isn't valid, but no new S appears... )

dunin thank you! I will look for this bug later :) And for music: I always found S very dramatic! :P so thats why...

tuism: noted! Thank you for feedback :)

Just played the game - nice work :) I love puzzle games so it was very satisfing making it to the end xD
All in all: very good work! :D

When i first started the game i was expecting something disappointing since how could one make an interesting and fun game about an S chilling out on the dot? When i completed the first level i literally laughed out loud how fun it actually was. The humor is great because of the over dramatic music, the gameplay is actually really solid. Really simple art but the game still pulls you in. One thing i would have added is a button press to spawn the next S. But over the game is awesome!

Double thumbs up for you my friend! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

@blinkeye actually that is elegant sollution for my "not spawning S" bug. I will think about it how to implement it in non violent and gamebreaking way (i dont want to player spawn bazillion Sses :)) )

This is pure genius. Such a simple yet fun idea. Although the theme is not present, I loved it. Great job.

@Wolfo initial idea was very close to theme. But i find out that design was not very fun and it would take at least week to balance it. So in last few hours, i managed to create this one...

Great idea, but I would appreciate a little bit faster gameplay. Waiting for a new S is really annoying.

It is great how such a simple idea could be that enjoyable. But I couldn't figure out how the disappearing dots work.

I love this minimalism! The graphics work with the bgm so well, making the game feeling elegant and noble. I didn't expect you finally came up with so many level design ideas when I was at the first few levels. Great potential to make it a mobile game and launch in app store

Nice minimalistic idea! The only thing I don't like is the quite long waiting for the next "S".

Love the music! Fits really well with your style (well, font) :D

Simple game but very well done, I could play this for a long time, pretty good, the music is very good, the music itself already is worth the time you spend playing, great job !

Nice mechanic. Simple physics are still fun to play around with. Would like to see it continued toward your vision.

This is one very tight physics based puzzle game. To think that something as simple as just throwing an S could have this much depth doesn't cease to amaze me. I mean, just look at this!

Simple things like timers and moving objects do add a lot of depth to it, so I'm half guessing that this can be endlessly expanded. I always get stuck with puzzle games though, so odds are that I wouldn't make it very far to begin with. But hey, let's not make it about me! I'm just sayin', this game is great, and you should be proud of it.

Oh well, even if it didn't go with the theme, it was a fun experience to behold. In behalf of my team, we'd like to see more from you, so keep up the good work. See ya! :whale:

Simple but strangely addicting little game. The music was amazingly fitting also. Not an issue, but it could have been cool if you had to spell words with letters, and the more letters the harder the game (that isn't a game issue, just a suggestion for a future concept). High ratings well done!

S .

Amazing idea and nice minimalist graphics design. It would have been cool though if you wouldn't have to restart a level when an S gets stuck on top of another one.

super interesting mechanic! i enjoyed this a lot

@junber i know about this bug. If it will be expanded in full game, i make sure that it will be fixed :)

I feel like the game moves a bit too slow. Gets boring really quickly if you constantly fail a certain level. It is a great concept for a game, great work!

I like the concept and I feel like you could make a succesfull game with what you have only if you tweak it a little bit. The S falls too slow and when you move them they move too fast. It's a little bit frustrating to wait for the S to fall when you miss.

The music is great!

It´s addicting, couldn´t stop until finish! But I would like to have a feature to quickly kill S and respawn new if I know I missed, waiting until respawn was a litle frustrating, but in the end, I couldn´t stop, nice job! :)

Wow! At first, for some reason, I thought the entire game was just trying to land the S on the one dot and while I thought that alone was funny, I was surprised to find myself moving on to another level after that. And another and another, always adding new things to understand. I really like this one! The music is fantastic too. Only thing I'm really missing is more levels.

Nice simple idea. We're often have the same problem when trying to fit within the theme :D.

Great game! Unique and fun, two bugs to report, on the level with the 5 dots, I got s's on each dot, but it didn't move to the next level:

And there was a stuck s that prevented any more s's from coming in:

Great idea, fun and addicting game. I think it would work very well on mobile devices. Keep going! :)

My game featured an "O" and not an "S" so it was impossible to hook it around anything - just kidding. Seriously though, my one complaint (and there's really only one complaint) is when you have to wait for the timed circle to become passable, because you have to hook the one below it first. And then, you mess up, and the timing is such that you have to wait every single time. But, this is a clever, meditative puzzle game. I applaud thee.

Nice simple style and design. I got stuck on the screen with 1 bar and two vertical dots because the game took too long to detect both Ss hanging. So I kinda rage-quit. Nice piano music too.

Wow... first I was like "This is really easy." and after five minutes I was surprised how can be something so simple so challenging. Great entry! :)

Very innovative game, and quite enjoyable to play. Definitely got trickery as you went. :)

@zenmumbler today i will update game with better timing

Hi, here is some feedback,

:thumbsup: What I liked:
✱ Innovative puzzle, clever mechanics
✱ Great music, very peaceful
✱ Overall calm atmosphere is confortable

:muscle: What imo could be improved:
✱ Pace is too slow, you have to wait for those timer to end, and there is nothing to do or think about while waiting. S moves very slowly. Also Difficulty growth is a bit slow but it's a correct rate I think, just don't make the difficulty ramp go slower.
✱ Got discouraged quickly because retries feel boring to set up again and again.

:sparkles: Overall
✱ A peaceful experience that got me in for a few levels thanks to some clever mechanics and a well adjusted difficulty, but in the long run it gets more frustrating than fun unfortunatly. Thanks for the game!

Looks cool. It was fun to play.
+1 for a HTML Version

I could sit and play this for hours, nice relaxing music and such a satisfying game. At first I wondered how it fit into the theme, and then it very quickly made sense! Such a simple concept made such an addictive game, thank you!

Such a relaxing game to play, really enjoyed it.

Wow! What a fun game. Such a unique idea. It seems like such a simple idea but somehow never gets boring or repetitive. Great effort! Really enjoyed it. The music's really nice too

Very simple, but very effective - the physics make it very intuitive. Good choice to not limit letters, and make the reset easy.
Could have done a tad more with the graphics, but the simplicity works too. Gameplay wise, would have been cool to do different letters?

Would have liked more levels, but this is a good chunk for a LD. :)

Really cool mechanic. Simultaneously really simple and really challenging. You added enough things to keep the challenge fresh without going overboard with complexity. This felt like it accomplished exactly what it needed to and nothing more. Really good work on this.

Such an elegant entry! The concept is simple but effective and there was enough new mechanics thrown in to keep it interesting. Music was great too! Kept me hooked 'til the end (I'm.. sorry).

Very creative and engaging! I'm curious what you could do if you kept running with this idea. Even though it doesn't really apply to the theme, it is really, really good. Nice job!

Well done, loved the challenge!

Really liked your game but I couldn't get the first level with the timer. I am really quick but it's just not possible to do it in time :(

@sirpumpyjam i will check it out.

It is good, I especially like the Music.
