Fill the bar by Yaroslav Kravtsov

[raw]
made by Yaroslav Kravtsov for LD31 (COMPO)
Game about one screen, one button and simple rules. Just do what you asked and try to reach maximum level. Obey and have fun.

Some features:
- Talking computer (make sure your speakers turned on)
- Power of UI in Unity 4.6 (buttons! bars! text! so cool)
- Music (optional, don't turn it)
- Low poly art (for naughty players)
- Snowman

Change log (only bugfixing in accordance with the rules):
- Now all numbers in level value appears. Previously only first number apperars.
- Camera position is fixed in the beginning of the game. Previously it slowly moved, which cause problem after ~10min of idle.
- The end of the game now more clear to understand that is the end.
- High level progression adjusted for hardcore players.

NICE job, dude! The voiceover was great, and a nice opening to the little world you've got. I'm only sad that I "died" before seeing all of the things :(.

Stupidly addictive. I was like "WTF is this?" and then "OMG, I spent ten minutes on this game! This is awesome!". Then I pressed S and I was "Wow! That's a really interesting game!". I even found the snowman.

The graphics and mechanics are simple at first, yet this is fun and addictive. The "3D secret" is really surprising!

This was a very strange experience...
<spoiler>
after "quit" the first game, I walk on water (there is a way by the mountain near the lighthouse) and then fall, fall...
I don't think it was intentional, but it was an incredible good end... (even I didn't see the snowmen...)

Great stuff!

Funny game, the AI is like a mashup of GlaDOS and the narrator in Stanley Parable. Short but great experience. I never saw the snowman, I'll have to play again to find it :). I only wish there was more to do. "Wise choose" - not sure if that was an intentional mispronunciation but it entertained me so that's cool. Great work!

Very interesting take on the 'clicker' genre, pretty funny too. I thought that was all there was to it, but then it went in a totally unexpected direction. Good stuff.

reached level 28, game begining to get boring, you need more upgrades. then I asked myself how do you get in the goat tower, then I woke up. Best entry I tested by far, congrats !

Great game with an awesome twist! Played twice so I could find everything, and decided to 'finish' the mini-idle game both times just for kicks.

I really -really- liked the lesson that this game give to players. Arts are pretty well too. I think this one would deserve to win the LD 31. :)

Amazing!!! the first part was addicting and then my mind was blown!! great voice acting, great visuals, great message. i went back and played it 3 times so i could explore everything. i love the snowman :) . i managed to get in the water and had to throw myself off the world.

It's pretty well done, but what's the point? I mean, hasn't Bioshock already covered this territory? ;P The 'reveal' is nice, though! I gave you a 5 for Theme, which I don't think I've done for anyone else. ;)

Nice game! There is nothing more satisfying than watching a bar fill, and upgrades add much variety to the game!
Just kidding, I completed it. But I took some time to play the inner game to see what will happen, and I broke it: http://puu.sh/dCxDE/63fff0c2ad.jpg

Got to level 106, then I was able to instantly fill the red bar with one click and it just started to bug out and got stuck....

Disregarding this unnecessary detail, really great game and I love the humour in this, but I'm not sure if there was anything substantial to discover besides the snowman...
Mekuri
25. Dec 2014 · 11:48 UTC
Loved the idea- I don't know why filling a bar became so addictive- Even at the end I decided to keep filling that bar for a while :P - Great idea, nice job!

25. Dec 2014 · 14:43 UTC
A good interpretation of an idle game as a time waster without actually doing progress in the game. All you do when clicking cookies or monsters - just wasting your time. Upgrades just make you feel that you've advanced, while it still takes you about the same amount of time to progress to the next level. The only mistake is: your enemy is not a robot/android. Your enemies are game designers who know too much about human brain and therefore making very addicting games. That's a 10/10 from me

Just so you know you can fairly easily get overflow errors where you cant fill up the green line at high levels.

Very polished game and I love the low poly stuff. I can't think of single thing to improve or change!

I'm so glad I played this, though it took me 15 levels to go for the "useless" numbers upgrades; and just when I was getting sick and tired of pointless bar upgrades.
Love, love, love the game!!
