Sine by f7f5

[raw]
made by f7f5 for LD26 (COMPO)
HTML5 / Javascript game

Well, you wanted minimal, you got a Sine wave. Guide it across the levels, avoiding the obstacles, by changing the amplitude and/or frequency.

There are 5 preset levels for both, mapped to the keys 1..5 and 6..0 (1/6 being the lowest and 5/0 the highest).

There are 6 levels, I hope it's playable and not too hard to complete (but still challenging).

**Important**: You need a browser with canvas support to play this game. It will not work on IE8.

Amazing concept! Very difficult though.

The game's very difficult, stucked at level 2... And I like the gameplay :D

Fun concept! I found your game because mine is named SINE as well :)

Levels are a little too hard. Number key controls are also a little difficult to manage. Maybe you could play with controlling via mouse position or something.

Overall, well done!

Wow! Bastard hard but bloody brilliant!

Very difficult, the gameplay is somewhat cool. Mouse/touch control would be nice.

Very nice concept, but it's a bit frustrating to play - maybe some kind of damage/health system would have been better than dying on the first contact. But it's a creative idea, and that's always better than boring old stuff! :-) Good work!

A little difficult to get the timing right but a very interesting concept.

Really cool idea. I'd like a bit quicker load times on death though because you die a lot!

Really cool concept, easily understood but the game is way too difficult for my taste. Good job, though!

Interesting concept.

Very clever - I got to level 5 then had to stop - too hard. It was extremely hard until I figured out how my commands applied (at the cycle or half-cycle boundaries of the sine waves). Then it became a much simpler thing to figure out, more a matter of guessing which combinations would work and getting the timing right. Very interesting game. The "Bad luck" thing could be shorter - I just wanted to try again quickly when I lost.

Cool concept, it was pretty difficult. Like others have said mouse controls would be nice.

Wow a game with the sine wave? Very clever! Nice and difficult.

I did the first level then spent a while crying, so hard. Bloody brilliant idea though

Very clever idea. However, the game is super difficult. As you die a lot it's mega irritating to to see this pop-up with instructions each time.

Cool idea, not very responsive though controls though, made it really hard.

Good idea, but difficult beyond belief...

For my game, did you download, or play web? Also, could you tell me what it said? Thanks for telling me that it wasn't working.

A bit too difficult and too little feedback to the player. Nice concept though :)

Hmmm... That's very strange. Maybe you are not allowing Java to run but it did say that the applet started. My only other idea would be to update your Java.

Great Concept, I liked the idea, it is minimalistic too. Only black and white, which I liked. For me the problem with the game is that it is too hard - It took me like 5 times to beat the first level, and I gave up in the second level.

Really tense when you managed to get through a level. Needs tweaking at the difficulty, but it was a solid game! Really good job!

Great idea! I really like the concept, it's really innovative and has some potential.

Nice concept but the level design is a bit too difficult.

Completed it. The idea is surprisingly nice, even given the difficulty. I think you should make the game slower, or remove the movement at all. If not, make controls 1-4 and 5-8. I can`t use fingers and a thumb at the same time.

Pretty interesting game concept. Incredibly hard though.

As a mathematician I of course like this game. ^^ I completed the game, but I think the sine went a bit too fast. Nice concept!
