Greatest physics-based game that doesn't use real physics by KunoNoOni

[raw]
made by KunoNoOni for LD34 (COMPO)
Thank you for viewing this entry for the Two Button Control theme. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK. :D


The previous game has been removed and the game developer has been sacked... and flogged... and tarred and feathered... We apologize for this inconvenience.

In its place we present to you "Greatest physics-based game that doesn't use real physics"!

It is a very simple game that was made in 8 hours and is a jolly good time!

All you need to do is rapidly press Num 1 & Num 2 buttons over and over to build speed. Once you are launched off the ramp you can stop pressing them and see how far you get!

The keyboard is recommended but you can use the mouse buttons or the joystick buttons if you wish.

The game is built to run at 1024 x 768 if you play in a lower screen size the text will look funny. Also the volume might be a little loud so it is recommended that you turn your volume down a little before playing, especially if you use headphones.

OSX version wouldn't open at all, just FYI, but the WebGL one was fine. My best was about 12.5. A fun little game, quick and to the point. Pretty impressive for 8 hours but yeah, it's short. The sound is kind of minimalist and funny too.

I'll ragevote your game ;). Jokes aside, I think that the game works well, and the title is a good catch to lure people into it. Got close to 9. And, BTW, the Linux build works, as usual ;).

@ruthiepee Thank you for letting me know about the Mac Version. I'll see what I can do to get to working.

@pvwradtke Thank you for letting me know the Linux version does work.

Unfortunately there's not a whole lot to this game, after a few jumps I got bored. Some progression would be awesome, such as upgrades to help you jump further the next time. Graphics could be a bit more detailed than simple shapes, but communicate the game. Audio's a bit harsh, particularly when the ball is rolling (sliding?) to halt.

I made it past the background into a light blue zone and then further into a dark blue zone where the ground didn't exist. The ball then fell endlessly into the void. It still falls now.

...

I liked the humor of the game, but I agree with cudabear that it could have used more content.

@BoxedMeatRevolution Really?!? I never go past 12 myself. How did you do it?

As for the lack of gameplay, this game almost didn't exists. I have tried several times between friday and saturday to create something and had basically given up. Then I woke up on Sunday morning and had this idea. I worked on it all day minus 4 hours as I had something to take care of. So I only had about 8 hours to make it. Hmmm had I known it would be possible to get as far as you did I would have extended the play area.

A rather standard game, though done a bit differently.

Made it to 10! Not a unique idea but fun in its execution, good job! :)

I managed a little past 10. Fun little game; I'm glad you managed to get this up despite the difficulties you were having.

Funny and well done for a 8h work.
Reminds me the Homerun Smash in SSB

I got past 20 by the way. So, if you stop before the ramp, you can keep going after the lose screen. Then, you slowly go up the ramp, but not all the way to the top. After that, you slowly slide down said ramp, and occasionally push yourself back up a bit. Eventually you start to clip into the ramp, and as soon as it says you are going 10 speed and at the same time you are going down the top of the ramp while still near the top, spam 1 + 2 and then you shoot off the edge. Great game though. This is legit the most fun I've had so far, and not just because I broke it. ;)

The graphics and audio aren't very tolerable. The gameplay is very basic, broken, not very enjoyable.

Impressive considering it was only made in 8 hours and not 48 :) Some of the sound effects are annoying though.

To fix the OSX version compress it with a tool that is not RAR. rar does not preserve unix file info and makes it unrunnable. Use zip or 7zip instead

And now for an actual review. I got to 10.5. This is simple but it gets the job done. It's internally consistent style-wise which is good. Nice.
