Nothing! The game began well, and put a smile to my face when it began, but I was disappointed at that "only one level" idea you gave into it. But then again, it's your first time, and I really liked the game, so you better make more levels! :P"},{"author_name":"miwuc","author_uid":"6177","time":"Aug 29, 2014 @ 1:55pm","epoch":1409320200,"text":"I like the simple clean graphics and the concept was promising.

This was my first ever Ludum Dare too, and I understand how big it feels!\r\rInteresting concept you had going. I'd like to see more. I think you've got an eye for minimalist style.

Let me introduce you : Connected buddies.\r\n\r\nThe game is about two buddies who are blocked and they have to work hand in hand to reach the exit area. But they can only interact with their own world.\r\n\r\nI've created the game with PhaserJs which is a really awesome JS game engine.\r\n\r\nAll art has been created with Gimp. The music has been generated on abudant-music.com and the sfx on bfxr.net.\r\n\r\nIn my head there were pressure plates, interruptores, etc. But like many other beginners I was thinking too big for a 48h gamejam, and there were too many things which I didn't think about during the warmup. (Like working with multiple layers in Tiled, so all my objects (doors and levers) didn't have to be placed in code).\r\n\r\nAnyway I learnt a lot and I had fun workig with Phaser. Good job everyone, and see you at the next Ludum Dare !\r\n\r\n\r\nP.S : I didn't test my game online and didn't think about the time of preloading. So if you have a black screen at first it's ok, music and art are loading... I will fix this as soon as possible.","title":"Connected buddies"}
