IVY by TRAB

[raw]
made by TRAB for LD34 (COMPO)
IVY by TRAB

Use the Left and Right arrow keys to grow.

Solve puzzles by connecting every stone!

Don't grow too far, though, or you'll wither away.



My first Ludum Dare Compo submission, made for LD34 in 48 hours.

The themes were Two Buttons and Growing. I decided to try both!

Thanks for playing!

Great job for a first time out. Loved the idea and it was easy to play. Controls where a bit hard at times, but didn't take away from it. Great music too.

Very cool! I got to level 7 or something before I started getting frustrated :P Not a fault of the game but I'm just so impatient. Very well executed and clever use of circular growth to introduce additional complexity/challenge to the game. I also commend you for the addition of the sweet camera shake (definitely helps game feel). Great Job!

I loved this one. Simple yet innovative, fun yet challenging, great aesthetic and music-- it all comes together. You really hit all the points. The difficulty ramps up a little quick but other than that superb job.

Beautiful! I like puzzle games, but I absolutely love it when one surprises me with a clever, simple mechanic.

Great game. Audio was well done and matched the style of the game.

Reminded me of snake, but with two heads.

A and D would have helped me a lot.

A superb little game, 5/5 for me. Great mechanic and nicely thought out puzzles with a unique flavour to the way it plays. Controls are neat and tidy, the looks suit it and the music that accompanies things fits perfectly.

pretty simple idea, and I assumed was going to be rather easy / boring, but playing around with the screen-warp gave this game a huge bonus.

puzzles were challenging and very fun to solve, graphics were nice, audio fit in well, overall I really liked this game! Great idea and concept, and extremely well executed.

Excellent job :)

This is a great entry! I love almost every bit of this game. I had to pull myself back so I didn't get sucked into. I think this would work great on a mobile platform.

Great job - the simple visuals and sound feel great. One small issue: I was actually trying to use the "L" and "R" character keys at first... Maybe showing <- and -> in the instructions would make that clearer.
