Linescape

Hey! Glad to take part in my first MiniLD :D

I went with an unusual aspect, but it's different from the ones suggested by the rules. I went with 640x3 (with some cheating). Please don't send me to prison.

I actually had to scrap my first idea after three days of working on it. Glad that the submissions are still open.

If you've played my first game, Microscopia, the style won't surprise you. This time I did add a FANTASTIC ending though :D

Hope you enjoy!

Really enjoyed this game. As soon as I hit spacebar and saw what it did, I immediately knew the entire game.

I think I got stuck though? I started a new level and I can't move at all, though I can disappear with spacebar.

My only gripe is that if you hit space just before running into a red area, it still kills you. Even if you clearly hit spacebar in time.

The sounds were cool too.

Yeah, that's clearly a bug. I mean, a feature. A feature I'd like to get rid of.

I thought I had, but I didn't! Thank you so much for pointing out. Will try to fix it.

(and thanks for the feedback too! :D)

Okay, the level where you got stuck is fixed! Hopefully. It's a shame you didn't get to see the FANTASTIC ending.

If anyone find any more, please let me know!

ahah, I'm loving how the line does what I'm imagining is a Kirby dance at the end.

Nice game. It was hard to know how long to hold space, but I found that it got much easier if I followed the beat of the music I had playing in the background. Almost felt like cheating. :)

It's funny how much character this guy can put into rectangles. That ending has actually got a weird way of making you feel really satisfied.
