[raw]
made by Shurty for LD34 (JAM)
SUPER MEET BALL LD#34 - PARIS FRANCE
====================================

UPDATES - WEB VERSION:
- Fixed wrong levels order & selection (level 4 is now level 2 and new level 4 added)

ABOUT THE GAME:

Super meet Ball is the story of two lovers playing the attraction-repulsion phenomena. You will have to manage their moves in order to help them meet each other.
5 levels of increasing difficulty are available.
Sounds & Musics are not made by us and are free to use.
All other assets are made by us in 72h.
Softwares used: Photoshop, Unity3D

CONTROLS:

Q/Left Mouse: Push character 1
W/Right Mouse: Push character 2
Both Buttons: Attract both characters

You will quickly understand the power of love between them !

We had 5 more CONTRAINTS picked from a deck of contraint-cards :
1) "It's alive : the game must be different every session played and must include a procedurally generated component"
How we dealt with it : The plants in the back of game are randomly generated

2)"Left Brain, Right Brain : The game must require the player to control a minimum of 2 entities simultaneously"

3)" Where are you going : At least one entitie directed movement must be using pathfinding"
How we dealt with it : we were planning to implement an ennemy using pathfinding but did not have the time to Design it ! :)

4)"Pacifist : there must no violence and agressive behaviour depicted in the game"

5 "Stay awhile and listen : The game must feature a complete story from its beginning to its end"

THE TEAM:

We are 5 french students in MBA Video Game Management at the IIM in Paris, 1 game designer, and 1 developer, reunited by our passion for the video games and challenges.

We hope you will take as much pleasure to discover our work as we took to make it. It was an incredible week-end spent with friends on something we really love.

Cheers !

Game looks so cute, and that little "songs" that they are singing to each other is adorable c: The idea of their moves is interesting, cause they are coordinated with each other, I really like it.

Gameplay is really cool, simple and addictive !
Collisions would need some improvement, especially when a character is "crushed" by a platform, it results in very weird behavior.
I was able to finish the game (bug : got stuck on result screen, buttons doesn't work)
Congrats for this very good entry !

@pokipsy: We will update very quickly with a fix for those 2 bugs, the collision one might be a bit tricky

Something is wrong with your host because I can't get either the web or windows page to open.

Very pretty game, the audio somewhat destroys the mood though.

Really enjoyed this. I thought the puzzle parts were decent and then I got to the auto climber and my brain was fried. It was awesome!

Cool! The music is nice, sound effects could've been better. Good job. I found that his happens if you get the blobs stuck on an elevator edge: http://puu.sh/lWJq4/18e93d4a37.jpg

Really well done completed game. The music and sounds are very good. The graphics suit the subject matter well. The puzzles are not difficult but aren't also trivial. That last level though was tough. Took me many tries to beat. I'd suggest putting this up on one of the Games portals like Kongregate or Armor, and maybe adding some more levels. I think people would enjoy playing this as a game and not just as a LD entry. I did have one weird glitch with the characters. I've got two gifs to show it:

This game has it all, characters that I care about, beautiful graphics and music, creative game mechanics. The best LD34 game I've played so far.

Great game! I only had problems with the controls because they're a bit difficult to learn. Keep up the good work!

5/5

@Ben Allen @davidcmcdonald I've added an Itch.io link for WebGL & Windows versions, it should be working even if it takes some time to load (the game is actually ~35mb due to music)

Excellent entry! I'm in love with the characters' sounds! The difficulty escalated too quickly, though! I had to replay several times one of the initial levels (don't know which one, since the level selection bugged). Also, the controlling keys were A and Z here, is that a bug? :)

Great game! I loved the look and the sounds (though when they died it sounded exactly like the minions from Despicable Me, not sure if that was intentional). The controls were a little hard to get used to at first, but by the last level I had it down. That last level was tough! Great job.

Great game, last level feels out of place though, because it requires to act fast
