The graphics are good, with good use of colour to indicate danger or goals, and the music has a nice sci-fi vibe. The concept is great.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>On the downside, the first few levels are very easy: you can blunder your way to the exit with little challenge (though that changes soon enough). Also, I got annoyed at how my character apparently can't travel through spaces that look wide enough for a human.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I could use the top-down view anywhere I wanted at the map, not just in the yellow area. A bug?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nitpicks aside, an immersive game, and very polished given the time frame."}],"images":["ld28\/30357-c181f7de203076b1b0db96e13640c107.jpg","ld28\/30357-af883fd6b166ccd090eb52d5ef77ec66.jpg","ld28\/30357-7c0225f50d61da4c96f1e520ccd84e6b.jpg","ld28\/30357-430156e0e2d7f353b7d2dbd0b2d0c05b.jpg","ld28\/30357-a57f2ffefd754093be2c5fc390fe6ae5.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/xl7e3dbhtz6q7ct\/Tk4HdxpV_n","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/smcv0jfilgwyu21\/b9CSHTP2dR","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/bdv3zv7ow84hlpu\/feKS_rUNSh","text":"Linux"},{"url":"http:\/\/chillsters.com\/thegrid\/thegrid.html","text":"Web"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"21984","g_author":"30357","g_event":"LD28","g_eventkey":"20","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"22013","g_title":"The Grid","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"2","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\/\/308734\/30357-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/308734\/30357-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/308734\/30357-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/308734\/30357-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/308734\/30357-shot4.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"The Grid is a first person memory game.\r\n\r\nWe used the theme as \"you only have one chance to memorise the grid before you travel towards the exit blind\"\r\n\r\nSounds help you to navigate away from traps on the way, and the grid expands in size each level, if you reach level ten, there may or may not be an easter egg :)\r\n\r\nWe plan to use the sonar vision we developed in this jam, in one of our games coming out next year.
