Plank by Sir Magic

[raw]
made by Sir Magic for LD34 (JAM)
Plank is a game where you play as a cube who can change shape to suit the tasks around it. I managed to make this thing in 3.5 hours! Have fun! (Sorry for lack of screenshots)

Edit: Shadows weren't rendering as well as audio and scene issues for specific devices. Fixed now :)

Edit 2: Slower devices were struggling with a certain stage in play tests, fixed now.

Edit 3: Added Web support! Now enjoy playing without the need for download (but fullscreen requires download)

There is not much room for expansion here. Okay for a two day jam, I guess. Music would've been nice, a cleaner design, with shadows, would have been better as well as visually better instructions...

+mukult Sorry dude but if I made mac I wouldn't know if it would work
P.S: I used to be a mac user. No joke, PC's are better.

I love the concept! It would be nice if the player could control the camera (zoom in/out, rotate) because it was a little bit hard to see sometims. Overall pretty fun game :D

Interesting mechanic, could have used some time to make more with it besides a tutorial tho.

Very short game but I enjoyed it. An option to zoom the camera would have been nice, but otherwise a very nice game.

Ending was a slight anti-climax, but I'm impressed you made a fun puzzle game that actually fits the theme.

nice idea, short (sometimes long), but i see you made in 3.5 hours, which is productive, though :D

Pretty nice concept. Could use more varied and complex levels to fully show off game mechanics, but definitely works as a proof of concept.

Not bad for 3.5 hours! Decent concept that you could expand on.

Your game is exactly what I wait from Ludum Dare. There is nothing in your game (it's not a criticism) - no amazing or complex code, no beautiful textures, no incredible FX... But this is one of the best games which I have seen for LD34. Simple and addictive with a strange mood and a minimalist aesthetic - and overall, you respect the theme. One of my favorites. Thumbs up - five stars ++

Ratehr short but well working game. Maybe add rotation next time to make game more interesting? :)

I really liked the game. Any Safari users might want to check out a non-Web version. The music is amazing, and the concepts are great.

It's a bit buggy with the collision, but nice game, nice idea and fun to play. Liked them music!

Very cool idea for the game mechanics! I think that idea has a lot of potential when it is done more polished (it cannot be polished in 3.5 hours of course). I found the camera to be too close to the ground and maybe 3d isnt even necessary at all? Reducing it to 2d would focus the user more on that interesting base concept and away from issues with the orientation and obviously the graphics.
After all, very well done!

I liked it. It wasn't very hard, but a nice entry. Good background music.

Pretty good for 3.5 hours. Though graphics are simple, gameplay seems promising. If only it was longer.

And yes, the glitches. You saw them.

Pretty cool idea although it could be more interesting if there was more physics involved e.g. making your plank wobble if it's slightly unbalanced on one end (Traversing large gaps seems way too easy if you just grow to your maximum length).

I really enjoyed that shrinking and growing changes your speed. I also like the way you tech the player with text in some areas without stopping the action.
