LudumData

Squared by Mentol

[raw]
made by Mentol for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

Time's up! @anchu @gorial @sarizard and I made a little game trying to mantain the 10 seconds based theme.

It was the first Jam for the almost every person on the team, it was an improvised good experience and we had a lot of fun! We lost an entire day due to adulting where we could have polished the whole thing. The idea was an endless puzzle game in a "cube format" where you have to get the most cubes done., the final thing is a puzzle where you have to solve every face of the cube under 10 seconds each. We only had time for one cube tho 🥲

Controls are: - Mouse (RMB to rotate the cube) - WASD (One of the puzzles)

Thank you for playing our game, if you liked it don't foget to comment and rate 🙂

We had some last time problems with the build :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

EDIT: Uploaded a new build with some changes. Just so you can enjoy the experience a little more. - Added an info button so you have a little hint of the incomming puzzle ;) - Also added a mouse icon just in case.

Couldn't figure out how to turn to the other faces of the cube after solving one face. Cool aesthetics though!

Nice game! The puzzles are actually pretty well constructed, but its very lacking in instructions IMO. At most I was able to solve 4/6 puzzles; the other two, I simply have no idea what to do. I also ran into a recurring issue where the "Game Over" screen would keep showing up over and over again! For a first time jam though, this is an amazing effort, and everything from the sound design to the graphics work is really well done. Good job :D

@arihan10 thank you for your feedback! Sadly we ran out of time so we couldn't really polish the game. We will definitely participate in other jams, so we'll keep your feedback for the next one :) Thank you!

Wow, that was a lot of fun! I did finally end up solving all six puzzles. I liked the simple approach to this; you can play it in about a minute, and it gives you a full experience. Well done team!

Nice game! I managed to win 4/6 games. The Mathching one and the one with arrows I didn't get.
And found a bug :)

Good idea, sadly can't get past 1st level. After I finish first level it gets stuck and just replays the music on click. Anyway like the mood and the look of it.

Hey! Really love the concept and execution on the game! Very elegant approach to 10 second puzzles on the sides of a cube (puzzle style reminds me of the Witness a lot, in a good way!) The music also fits greatly into the setting. One small nitpick is how a few games are buggy (e.g. pipes counted as correct even when it wasn't connected; restart game button doesn't work). But with a little polish, could see this as a full fledge puzzle game. Great job and congrats on the first LDJam entry!

The idea with the puzzles is not always supper clear. But the visuals and the music is pretty good.
