Connected Worlds by Jacksack and JordanFitz by JordanFitz

[raw]
made by JordanFitz for LD30 (JAM)
Connected Worlds (original name, I know) is a game made entirely in 72 hours. All art and music was created by Jacksack (http://www.twitch.tv/jacksack) and all programming was done by myself. (http://jordanfitz.com)

Libraries used:
jQuery (http://jquery.com/)
Salmon JS: (https://github.com/JordanFitz/SalmonJS-2)
Salmon is unfinished, and is mostly for my own use. It's basically just a collection of utility functions that make setting up canvas projects easier.

The controls are explained within the game.

Interesting concept. Perhaps a reset button is in order for some of the trickier levels. The face drawing feature was also really cool.

I liked the face drawing.
I found the controls awkward. I think 'E' should be both pick up and place.

The graphics are nice and the music is quite fitting. Also, Drawing the different characters faces is a pretty clever idea!

Fun game. I could tell some work went into this.
The control scheme was rather awkward though I'm afraid. The face drawing thing was a nice feature.

"Loading textures" brings me back to the old days of cannon fodder! Nice design overall and very clean. Great job

A bit of a predictable concept, but it's still fun. It would be great if the world-switching was more instantaneous.

Platforming controls felt great. Nice puzzles game. The block collection and placement control choices felt a bit awkward to me but I got used to them. This was a very solid entry overall!

I really liked the face drawing feature, and the gameplay was interesting. It's nothing that hasn't been done before, though, and the controls weren't tight. Regardless, I enjoyed this game even though I wouldn't label it more than average gameplay. That face drawing feature though; it was great! Just spend less time on a small gimmick and more time on the gameplay next time.

I liked the face drawing part the best ;)
the art was reallly good, and the music was nice for the first 5 minutes.
I think you need a better puzzle mechanic, though; The block was a bit boring a repetitive.
Also, space was a bit awkward, I kept hitting it thinking I would jump.

Loved the face drawing feature! Kicked the game off to a great start! The world switching mechanic and singleplayer co-op style puzzles were great! good job

Its a cool base for a puzzle game. I wonder what you could do to tie the face drawing idea to the rest of the game a bit more? Maybe several gameplay elements could be introduced over time, and every time you get to draw something for it?

Great idea / interpretation of the theme. Fun to play, but I didn't like the music. Drawing my own faces was fun

I spent waay too much time drawing stupid faces XP, really fun and a solid idea. Would love to see this concept developed more :)

Cool game idea, drawing your own faces is a nice touch. The game overall feels polished and well thought out, nice job!

Wow, really really cool. Drawing your own characters was a really nice touch. You should definitely develop this further!

Excellent use of the theme and very pretty looking. A little frustrating on the controls, specifically, it might work better if switch world was on space down and not space up. Overall very nicely done!

The game is quite challenging. I enjoyed myself. I like how you can draw your characters faces. Its replayable. This is just an awesome concept. Congrats!
