Tri-Forever by TaleLore

[raw]
made by TaleLore for LD26 (COMPO)
Tri-Forever is a game in which you try to survive for as long as possible without being sucked into the outer edges.

Enemies will try to kill you as you try to survive, but they can be killed using bullets which you shoot automatically which have the same velocity as you do. Enemy frequency increases as time goes on.

Before this game I had not programmed anything beyond a ball which bounces around the screen automatically, so this game is quite the improvement.

Good luck! Don't forget to post your highscores!

I liked it! It crashed for me at the end, though. Here's what the log file says:

Beautiful presentation.

My favorite so far - awesome visuals, a simple yet interesting concept, and a rhythm-based twist that I really started to "feel" as the game went on. Keep up the good work!

Neat game. The circle's hitbox seems too big. Thrusting with more power than the keyboard can generate seems unfair.

I like this game a lot! I especially like the sounds and music synchronized with the events on the game :D

I really enjoyed this game. Definitely fits the theme, and it's kind of cool how you don't have complete control over yourself.

Very neat game - fits the game perfectly. I like how it pulls the circle towards the outer edge randomly - gives it a nice twist on other games like it.

Great effort! I'd by lying if I said I was good at the game, but the design is good, with decisions to weigh up between being aggressive (but I might push too far and lose) and being cautious but getting overwhelmed by enemies.

Controls are a bit hard to grasp, but it's a good one! :)

Great game! Definitely brought me back to the Atari days (Completed so wonderfully with the die sound effect). I think that you nailed the spirit of this Ludum Dare. Nice work!

Neat game with an interesting idea. I would maybe have the enemies show up sooner, it can be kind of easy without anything there to harass you.

It's a shame when it pulls you out with more force than you can resist... fun game! Music was a bit repetitive, but that might just be my speakers.

Great game! The core mechanics are pretty solid, but the physics seem a bit too unforgiving.
Note: I had to rename "Vignette.png" to "vignette.png" (lowercase "V") to get it to run on Linux from source.

I really enjoyed this one! The graphic design and theme are spot on, and I love the originality. I think the game mechanic really works. I like simple color palette and that combined with the audio remind me of an Atari :)

The graphics and audio are really well done and once you get used to the controls/physics, the game gets quite addictive.

Interesting but it takes too long before something happens, and when it does it seems pretty hard to both control the ball and avoid enemies.

I really enjoyed this entry! The music and sound effects were great. Loved how it all created a rhythm. The game embodied the theme very well and it was very fun to play. It was rather addicting even! Great job!
