Convergence by leafarz

[raw]
made by leafarz for LD30 (JAM)
*Update*
Post Ludum Dare: Added Web build
Post Ludum Dare: Added OSX build

Two people in different worlds are trying to get back to their own. The only thing that connects them are the red objects, eventually meeting at one point- the convergence of the two worlds.

[This is a multiplayer game. 2 players are required for the game to start. REALLY recommend trying OSX or Windows because the lighting in the web is not as good]

*For single play*
-You can open two windows and just connect to yourself (IP "127.0.0.1"), which is your IP, to try it if you can't play the game with others[sorryyyyyyy it's a multiplayer gaameeee :(]


*For multi-play*
-Works via LAN/WIFI. (Recommended because of sucky net handling when lag)
-If you're going to play with someone from another place (external IP),
-you probably need to do port forwarding (port used in this game: "11100")
-Also I haven't tested it without PF-ing yet, worth a try.


Objective is to get through each levels with CONSTANT cooperation and CONSTANT communication.

I suggest [YOU PROBABLY NEED IT] voice chat (from other applications) if you're not connected via LAN/WIFI/LocalConnection. I was supposed to implement voice chat here, but I've no time left [SORRY :(].

And lastly, if you happen to advance a level and the other player does not, just restart the game. Haven't finished polishing the network handling.

Really hope you enjoy the game! :)

Interesting concept! Quite difficult but should work well with some way to communicate with your fellow player. :D

Good job! :D

Wow, a multiplayer game! =O

The concept is really good, but I had to play alone (with two browsers), so my experience is a little different; I had to step one character in the red platform, then play with the other one in another window...

but I do believe that with two player will be an amazing experience, really following the theme in quite a unique way! Good job!

I played it alone, it would be much more fun with other people! Good music!

Played about three levels nice job! Not sure how the mechanic works though, I just move around and the platform appears. Must be more obvious with two people.

@PowerSpark: thanks! i was thinking at first if i put the instructions in game, instead i just made it implicit. in fact i thought it was too implicit lol. the objects appear only when you both look at the object! :D

I couldn't get past level 2 alone, my player1 just saw all black and I couldn't navigate over the little jump to the circle since I couldn't tell where I was located.

Don't know why, but the player moves really really fast on my computer, it's almost unplayable...

It took a lot of work for me to find someone to play with hahaha. Although I applaud your attempt at having a multiplayer game, I would consider a way or a mode to play with a single player. The music was nice, and the mood you set up was also great.
