Perfect Match by reecpj

[raw]
made by reecpj for LD28 (COMPO)
You are a match. You only get one short amount of time to burn everything. Your natural enemy is the water, and the boat that puts out fires. You like rough stone, because it feels warm.

This is my second gamejam, but first real one. I started making a fire simulation and added to it.
Can be played with 2 players, one on mouse and keyboard and the other with Xbox 360 gamepad.

Sorry about the movement physics! Also, hopefully the default Unity image effects/ water don't count as other people's work. I have included the whole Unity directory so you should be able to use it with Unity 4.3.1, or can just browse the cs files under assets if you want to look at code (which really isn't very impressive/ clean).

Besides Unity being Unity the game was great, Not sure if the menus is spose to stay there but it helped. Got stuck give it a wiggle and away you go again.

Awful control mechanics.

Very clever idea, though difficult to control, and not sure what my direction was as the player. Nice graphics though.

Good concept, think it would've been better with an AI boat though!

Tried swiveling on the rock, but couldn't light the match :(

Got stuck in the tree, but that wasn't so bad as the score kept going up. :D I like the take on theme, nice concept.

Kind of hard to understand how to move

The controllers are a bit difficult to use but the idea is very nice. I like the graphics too.

Once I managed to get the match lit (which did take a while) the rest was easy, set fire to everything! A bit of a non-game, but I was very impressed with the graphics, it's a style you should definitely stick with.

Cool style, although the water doesn't seem to math the aesthetics. The gameplay is somewhat weird.

I had a lot of fun playing this game. Took me some time to find out how to light the match.

I for one love the controls. The particle effects were great. However at times the matchstick did get stuck on the rock. But I still love the game. LOOT AND BURN! that's my motto.

Nice game, but I had problems with controls - getting a match lit up is tricky. But the very idea is brilliant - the first time I see a game where you play as a MATCH :)

As others said, it's hard to light the match, and I was stuck behind the background tree. But everything was on fire !

The score didn't move at first, because I had the help screen not toggled off, I don't know if that impacted my score.

Didn't tried with the xbox360 controller.
