Ludum Dare #59compo
Connection Restoration
A quick little game made with GameMaker. Restore the connection between the towers in these troubled times.
Controls are Space, W, and S as instructed.
Use the mouse on the menu. Use Esc to close the game.
No Audio. Estimated playtime 3-5 minutes.
I think it would have come out a lot better if I wasn't so rusty and also hadn't had such a busy weekend. (Won my Secrets of Strixhaven prerelease.) Still, it's fun to try and make something. I can't wait to be blown away by what some of you were able to complete in just 48 hours.

Nice start, with more towers to jump through and more lasers it could have beem really run, there is a concept there!

Nice simple game! Simple n easy to understand. Though the wave splitters don't do much and I wish they were.

Good job, it just needed some relaxing music and more challenges.

Very short, but interesting you made basically 2 entirely separate games. I think the side-scroller platformer was quite fun, and the talking signals when you split them were cute. It would have been great if you could have fit some more levels in. I made it to the end with 2 active signals :) I didn't find the orbit part of the game particularly challenging, but I assume you had some ideas there which you didn't get around to. All in all, it was a very condensed experience, so I enjoyed my few minutes, but would have loved to see a bit more content.

Good game but it's too short.Maybe adding a score system can allow players to try more times.

Cute little thing. Splitter mechanic was cool, would've loved to see more done with that if time allowed!

A very cool concept, but it's a little too short. Unfortunately, the time is too tight. Otherwise, I would have been looking forward to playing more content.
A randomised endless version with high scores would work really well i think.
