Hippie Convention Inspection by Dr_V

[raw]
made by Dr_V for LD31 (COMPO)
I decided to go with a different take on the theme. Instead of the interpretation of screen as a view, I've gone with the definition of a screen as a divider. (I've also put an actual screen in the game for good measure as well). Having said that I introduce:

Hippie Convention Inspection!

You are a convention hall owner. A group of customers want to rent your convention hall but first they must inspect it to see it has enough separate 2x1 rooms for their needs. But due to undisclosed reasons, your convention hall has only one movable screen (aka divider). How will you cope?!

Luckily the customers in question are drugged-out hippes so it will be easy to fool them! Move the screen around as they walk to fool them into thinking there are more rooms!

Note: Please read the in-game instructions, otherwise you will find the game-play very confusing. Features over 3 (4) levels of moderate paced puzzle action!

Great concept. Really good puzzle game. Quite hard, but that really fits the game.

The idea is fantastic, but I'm worried you used more than one screen as I understand the theme. Anyway, I love your game because I love logical games :D. Congratulations

A little slow to play, but a great concept. Nice to see you've both reinterpreted the theme AND managed to stick to the actual wording of "entire game ON one screen" as well.

Nice concept, I enjoy the drugged hippies!
When the crowd can pass through a wall it shouldn't appear on the arena anymore, it will make the game easier to play and understand.

Nice, tricky at first, but you get the hang of it pretty quick. Crowd could move a little faster...

Very interesting concept. I can honestly say I've never played a game quite like that before. I like the premise, it's rather amusing, and the puzzle mechanic was incredibly engaging. It had a bit of a learning curve, and your tutorial could use a bit of work, but once you get the hang of it it's actually really fun, too.
