Panoptes by vrld

[raw]
made by vrld for LD31 (COMPO)
A classical puzzle game, yet so much more. Two more, to be exact. You must keep an eye on all.

The game is simple, but I recommend to enable the tutorial to get a hang of things. It's seamlessly integrated in the game, so it shouldn't be too annoying.

There is an online leaderboard. To participate, you need to enable highscore synchronization via the options tab.

To play the cross platform version, you need Love 0.9.1 - get it at http://www.love2d.org/

To see the source code, rename panoptes.love to panoptes.zip and unzip the file.

Really cool idea! I really enjoyed the amount of polish and the accessibility was really sweet. The graphics are sweet to ^_^

Really cool, I was about to write about how this is a pretty decent Tetris Attack clone, but then the game threw me a curve ball. I got an error while playing for a bit, though.

It's difficult to talk about this without spoiling the fun to anybody else...
Let's say just that there's much, much more than what it seems!

Other than that, the whole experience is amazingly well put together: smooth, easy to grasp (yet tricky) and polished.
The lack of music is a great thing, in this entry, keeping you focused on what you are doing.

One of the best ways to cope with the theme. Amazing job! :D

Great job VRLD. At many points, I was like "for fucks sake". Perfect.

Small bug - when entering my name, p pauses the game.

Also, why can't I eat the pong ball with my snake? :)

Great game. Extremly polished.

I had one bug where the "plop" sound was played over and over again, repeatedly. That did not sound good - otherwise, awesome.

Also, this game propably contains the most creative "back" button I've ever seen :)

Nice Game and cool tutorial! Even that a gamejam game has a tutorial at all is great.
And you picked my favourite arcade games. I spend hours of playing crackattack with friends. :D

The idea is cool, although I found myself ignoring most of it and just swapping blocks about, and subsequently losing :P

Neat, but I can't cop with these games in the same time. Interesting contribution with nice graphic. Thank you ++

Fun game, although I'm not the biggest fan of Bejeweled, Pong and Snake :D
Are there more games? I died on Snake!

wow, this is multitasking of it's finest. :)

That's a lot of game on one screen! Feels really polished and is very fun (and stressful) to play. While not being very good at this I nearly beat the highscore when the snake ate a yellow blob and the whole tower came down in a multi-combo chain reaction :)

Excellent twist on a classic puzzle concept and an interesting take on the theme. Very nice!

Great game! The only thing that makes me think you aren't a crazy ludum-dare game dev wizard to have made this in 48 hours is the feel of the pong controller. Everything else was great! Good job!

Me: The game is too slow.
Game: What is it? (spoiler)
Me: LOL

Awesome. That was super addictive. Candy Crush + Snake + Pong :D Waoh !
Preemptive mutli-tasking skills challenged.
I can't give you a good rating at the theme because it was not three games in one screen but ONE game in an entire screen (joking...)

You had me going there for a while. One of the best multigames I've played :-)

It is interesting how you play multiple games at once, but ultimately I was a bit sad, because you said it would be a puzzle game, but it really was much more of an action/ multi-tasking game. Still very unique interpretation of theme. More like: Multiple games in one screen :D

Very original take on the theme.
And well done.

Very interesting. Would it have given me more than pong and snake if I hadn't lost?

Interesting idea to include all those games onto one screen. The tilted multiplier seems familiar... :)

I'm going to say, these multi-tasking games are...not my cup of tea. But I rated the game highly for its polish!
