Minimalismism

[Taylor]

Does this go here? I guess so!

I made a game for LD48. Theme was Minimalism.

Cool~I really like how it's dynamically changing the level rather than just loading a new one~

[OrnateBaboon]

Nice! Watched that video to the end. So simple, but looks like a lot of fun. Good luck in the competition.

[General Vivi]

I LOVE THIS!!!!! Nice job!

[FMPONE]

its really cool but about halfway through i started to understand why it didnt seem very challenging, you need moving platforms! other than that, you should figure out some way to make the main character stand out + make it ipad compatible, you'd make a fortune

[Taylor]

Thanks guys!

Yeah, moving platforms were in my initial plan, along with a finale where everything was constantly shifting rather than the path getting bored and wandering off screen. However, coding is definitely not my forte and given the restraints I thought I’d go for an easier out.

If I were to pick this project back up I would definitely include more interesting obstacles and some better sound design. Perhaps some ambient music, chords for landing, and pretentious text to transcend this bad-boy into art territory.

Porting to iOS would be interesting. Have him move relative to your initial touch and flick to have him jump (less accurate but I don’t like virtual d-pads), put doodads on the sides to manually manipulate stuff. I don’t actually have any way of doing it right now, though.

Awesome man. That's one of the best LD entries i've seen. Really polished looking too.

[Sjonsson]

Wow, that's a nice entry, very minmalistic! Well done!

[Vilham]

pretty awesome stuff man

[Taylor]

So... apparently this came third in the competition? I'm #1775 on coolness so I'm not really sure how this is all calculated. Either way... sweetabix.

Congratz!

[Pericolos0]

awesome work!! Something very satisfying about seeing all the platforms dissolve and shift

[Prof. Orribilus]

Cute

 

Interesting could be to see the concept applied to a non-minimalist game, even 3D.

[Thrik]

Great idea, you know a game's good when it's entertaining just to watch a YouTube video of. If you revisit it you should implement conc jumping.

[Taylor]

Haha, oh man. I am actually tempted.

I'm trying to make a "full" game out of Metritron atm, though...
