Decrepit Lord of Charge by HolyBlackCat

[raw]
made by HolyBlackCat for LD32 (COMPO)
It's a game about Coulomb's Law!

You have the charge gun and there are iron boxes around you.
I think you've already guessed what this game is about.

And because of theme, there are some sort of enemies.

Please leave comments!

Especially if you've found any bugs or if you can't launch the game.
I'll leave comment under your game when I fix it.

--------------------

Changelog:
3. Start delay is 8 second less now, becuase people complained about 'black screen'. Added missing tutorial text on level 3. Tweaked strange-looking background on one of the levels.
2. Added missing libraries.
1. Shaders now work properly at level 1.

Says it can't start, because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing

Ok, nevermind, the issue was probably on my side.
Pretty neat game. Interesting take on the theme.

I have no idea what's wrong. Try to Alt+Enter to windowed mode, maybe it will change something.

Wow. That was pretty impressive. It was surprising how polished you have made the game. Nice! :O

I get the error "Shader #0 compilation failed", you can see the full error message in following link:

I have a very low level graphic card (Intel family chipset) which I sometimes have had issues with. I don't know if that could be a factor here.

As I said in you game comments, the error means that your videodriver or videocard itself is too old. Try to update the driver.

@HolyBlackCat Sorry it still didn't work. The screenshots look nice though xD

Nice game and nice mood. I was not sure how to get passed the third room after I killed all the ghost.

The game mechanics are really interesting! Your game is extremely well polished and the mood and graphics are perfect. Extremely solid entry! Funnily enough, I has a similar idea about attraction and repulsion but I used magnetic energy and a mobile device. ;)

There is something satisfying about riding one of those blocks around the screen and smashing the enemies. Very fun!

This was a pretty fun puzzle game. I'm impressed by how well it is made.

Loved the song, the theme, the colors and had fun playing. It´s hard for kids though! My daughter could not get alive from the 3rd scene! ^^

I think the game doesn't really need the enemies. It would be better without them. :)

You're completely right!
It was 5 hours before the deadline when I remembered about them. "Oh shit, the theme says *weapon*, but my game don't have any enemies, I need to add them."

Sorry, can't play it. Tried again, but it seems my creaking old laptop can't handle openGL 3.3 :(

Nice take on the theme! Personally I wouldn't need enemies, as I already like those kind of puzzles. But I see, that enemies add some sort of time constraint. I like really like the look of it. Good job!

Great idea, good mood and great puzzling. Excellent job HolyBlackCat!

The only thing I'd say is to make your camera lerp to your position rather than instant translation, that'll help it feel less jerky...

Other than that - pretty good platforming physics and amazing charge mechanics! Such a good idea :) I also created a platformer/Metroidvania type thing, so I'm very happy I stumbled onto your entry!

Spectacular mechanic. Very unique. It is simple to understand but can produce many complicated puzzles. I am also a fan of the music. Very minimal, but it sets the mood really well. Nice job!

It's quite difficult, but pretty good. I like how the attraction force is pretty much constant regardless of distance, it removes the chaotic element of physics unpredictability that ruins many physics-based puzzle games.

Working fine for me. And it is pretty good game! I really like gameplay mechanics! Great work!

Loved it! This was genius! :D The music really set the mood, and the mechanic was very, very fleshed out for something made in such a short time. The difficulty ramped up a bit too quickly for me though.

I really like the game. it would be nice if you could add some more mechanics and make into a full game. Some plot to the game might help. But really solid entry.

I apparently can't run the game because my "videocard is too old", too bad, it looked very nice.

I didn't immediately identify that the characters and spikes would kill me, and the death screen lasts a bit long unless you think to try and move, but beyond that this is a very clever and entertaining game :)

Unfortunately, I can't run it... On 2 notebooks (Windows 7 and 8), the same error:
> OpenGL 3.3 (compatibility profile) context init failed.
> 1. Update your videocard driver [note: I tried it but it didn't help]
> 2. Force your driver to use best available videocard for this application. If it still complains about your OpenGL, then your videocard is probably too old for this program. [note: x_x]

Very nice game, made it through several levels. I liked the graphics and the concept is very interesting.

Quite difficult bit pleasing
