Cool concept! The later levels are really challenging :)

I got a :display:gsg:glgsg(error)" GLSL link failed: Link called without any attached shader objects. Have you tried building the code into an executable with py2exe?

A really amazing game. Well well done.

Funny game !

I got stuck on what I assume was the last puzzle. I was starting to get angry at it and was really just doing trial and error. However, I really like this idea. It could be developed into a full game without too many changes. I didn't like the nighttime mode because it just added to my frustration, and it can be hard to distinguish blocks which are on the pedestal.

European plugs are hateful things.

Awesome, I love puzzle games, and this one could easily be expanded into a full game. Quite challenging, quite pretty!

Cool concept, well done

This is one of the best puzzle games i played this ludum dare.

I also had a GLSL error. I'm running Windows 7 x64 with an NVidia GT 740m:

I could see the puzzle variation going a long way; it's cool.

Crashes on launch:

Running Panda3D from "D:\Games\LD35\windows_build\panda3d_build"
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: unable to load the file system codec
ImportError: No module named 'encodings'

James Coote: your GPU driver probably doesn't support OpenGL. If you're running an integrated GPU that's typically the issue. Not much I can do about that, make sure your drivers are updated and such.

Sean: create an empty file in panda3d_build\python\Lib\encodings and name it __init__.py . Get back to me on the ludumdare IRC channel (#ludumdare on AfterNet) if the issue persists.

Love the idea of a puzzle game, it fits the theme very well, and the gameplay is very fun. To be honest I didn't feel like the 3-d graphics added much to the game, I feel like a simple 2-d style could have looked better, but that's more of a personal thing. The fact that time changed while playing was a little weird, but it didn't prove too annoying. The gameplay is great, and so is the idea, pretty well put together.

OK, got it working!

Great little puzzle game! There was quite a leap in difficulty on the yin-yang puzzle, and the final two were especially challenging.

I found that judging depth was pretty difficult though, this made the larger stacks harder to deal with. Similarly, it was sometimes hard to tell which side of a piece you were looking at. I think it would have helped if the camera wasn't looking directly at the outlet or there were some more depth cues.

Cool game difficulty jumped to high at certain points, but very good concept!

I cant get the file :(

sorry about that, uploading took longer than expected. Switching hosts finished now, though. Grab the files while they're hot :)

Oh my goss it is sooo difficult. Really nice tho

Very interesting game mechanic. It can be tricky to manipulate these 3D objects while having in mind what kind of plug is on each side. But the puzzles are really clever.

aeveis: the graphics driver you're running doesn't support OpenGL, and I haven't built an openGL-free version yet (probably won't this LD). If you're running a laptop with two GPUs (typically one intel and one amd) you're going to have to manually switch to using the better/amd one to run this game. If your GPU doesn't support OpenGL I can't help you.

I really like the idea of this game. Once it became night, it got really hard to see though.

Really nice entry. Puzzles that are intuitive to understand, yet hard to master. The levels gradually get harder. One bug held me up: one of the pieces disappeared!

Overall very good effort. I will come back and beat that last (?) level! (the sun dial one)
