It fits well to the theme. If you decide to keep working on it, it would be interesting if you put continuos enemies and make a bigger map with more worlds\/connections :)"},{"author_name":"CodeNMore","author_uid":"33942","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 12:42am","epoch":1409013420,"text":"Interesting, good idea!"},{"author_name":"TinyHat","author_uid":"13754","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 6:41pm","epoch":1409078160,"text":"Wow, I don't know what happened, but I could not play it was too laggy.

The monsters kill me before I have the chance to do anything.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>This means that probably you are not frame-limiting your code. I am not familiar with the Allegro library, but you should count how much time each logic\/render loop is taking, and use this time to limit the number of logic\/render loops that you do in a time period.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good luck next LD! :-)"},{"author_name":"Konrad Zegis","author_uid":"32927","time":"Sep 1, 2014 @ 12:31pm","epoch":1409574360,"text":"@caranha - Thank you!

Remember using that back in my university days.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The game is really short, but I think its biggest drawback is that the movement is pretty laggy. Looks like things move on a tile-by-tile basis rather than pixels, which makes it choppy. But the first game I ever made with Allegro was about the same, so I can't hold that against you. :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I liked the idea of closing connections, though. Hope to see you in future LDs!"}],"images":["ld30\/32927-4cfabb150c77ef93ce6c281417c1ab42.jpg","ld30\/32927-e7ff6fafde89bd81b4b46fcbc7d6c8c4.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/kofun.pl\/dwn\/LD30_relase.ZIP","text":"Windows binary"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/Zegis\/Untangle","text":"Github Repo"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"17628","g_author":"32927","g_event":"LD30","g_eventkey":"24","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"17657","g_title":"Untangle~!","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"1184","g_commentcount":"15","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/32927-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/32927-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Made with: C++ and Allegro5 game library\r\nIDE: Visual Studio 2010\r\nGraphics: all done by me in paint and gimp (that's why they looks like that >_>)\r\n\r\nSit inside multidimensional police tank and close weird connections between worlds!\r\n\r\nUse arrows to move around and mouse to shoot, but beware of monsters lurking around.
