Sunapsis by HunLyxxod

[raw]
made by HunLyxxod for LD29 (COMPO)
Here is my submission for the Ludum Dare 29.
I didn't have time to implement all I want in this game but at least, it should be playable and it was fun to work on a genre I'm not used to.

This is a puzzle game. You need to build a neural network to transform an electric signal.
All the game can be controlled with the mouse (there are some shortcuts explained in game).

@EmberKirk: You have an error message?
What is your config (OS, GPU, …)?

Really confusing. The hints like use mouse wheel don't seem to change anything at all. It looks nice though and runs great.

I really liked the idea. The last level was quite challenging and I had to try a few times before succeeding. The graphics are nice - there is a little glitch though with axon "crossover-linking" and thus omitting the "dendrite-changing" hotspot sometimes. Overall a nice one. Need more levels! :)

I like the game a lot. It took me a long time to understand what I can actually do. The very essential information that I only found accidantely is that I have to press space to start the sequence. Once I found that out I was actually able to play.
The learning curve is extremely steep though. I like hard puzzles so that was ok for me. I like the presentation a lot. Whish it had some atmospheric sounds or music. Good job!

It says that it is not a valid Win32 executable. I guess you may be using 64 bits.

Hey sorry, I also got a black screen after I press 'New Game' or try to go from 'Level Select.' I'm on Windows 7 if that helps any, and there's no error message or anything :S!

Great aesthetics, but the instructions were very cryptic and confusing.

Maybe you should have spend more time on tutorials or UI to explain the player the possibilities of gameplay

Interesting! It reminded me of Kohctpyktop; that's a good thing. ;) You could do the same sort of puzzles in that game, I think. I liked the graphics and how "squishy" they were when you connected or disconnected stuff; however, sometimes it was finicky, like I had trouble grabbing the exact connection I needed. It needs a better tutorial or better instructions, I had to stare at it for several minutes before I really got what was going on. Also, the whole signal thing seems kind of inexact; I feel like I couldn't calculate exactly the number of neurons I needed for a one-cycle delay. Sometimes it seems like 4, but in the other level to get a 2-cycle delay I needed about 12 it seemed...Good work, though!

First of all, I played it with wine under linux. I did like the visuals, and I did like the whole framework you built up, setting up the neurons and synapses and how it gets animated. It was fun even though I didn't know what I'm doing and if it's good what I'm doing. Would have need more feedback there.
None the less good work!
