Would love some feeback on this.

That's some lovely looking stuff. I really enjoyed exploring the world and the battles, and I can totally see myself returning to it.

Now the critical comments:
- the main character's inertia didn't feel okay, faster acceleration and deceleration would be nice.
- I guess I'm no friend to auto-regeneration. "Okay, I'll just park my character here, do the spring cleaning, walk the dog, rearrange my collection of stamps, and I'm back on full health". This, I guess, is one aspect of games where it'd be easy to create something original. Or there's always health power-ups from dead enemies or whatever.

let's do this. <3

Hell yeah! When do we get to roach?

are you gonna make it say it's filling the computer with porn?

procedurally generated pron, tell me more!

sadly enough, I've only got procedurally generated platforming, now with enemies and collectibles.

Pron might come next.

I hate flash, I'd rather just program in C++ from scratch.

(Can I has that on a t-shirt?)

I've got a parallax scrolling 2.5D thing for the thread (and I mean the .5 bit, but I'll leave it at that for now). As a result of today's crunch, it also supports dynamic lights.

Please don't mind the dragonflyey things.

@Ed: the Lords of Midnight bit made me sign in. Now I'm looking forward to it more than to Proteus/Nodeland.

(Is this flash? ...Judging by the flixeley font..?)

from:to
Make a game specifically for a single individual. Could be someone you love or hate or have never met or see every day. Maybe even someone who ain't alive any more. Maybe you want to tell them something or give them something to think about, or just something they'd enjoy. Could come along around Christmas time.

I like this a lot (didn't know about the allegro thing). Great potential for cathartic moments too.

I guess my post was a bit rushed; I hope it didn't feel too harsh.

Nevermind what I said about the friction; I've just realized that the left mouse stops the probe, which is quite a relief.

I loved what's at the end of world 1.

I've tried the later worlds and although the difficulty is a bit unforgiving (there is Hard Mode? D=), the powerups work well towards keeping the game interesting. On the difficulty note, though, I sometime felt that what I achieved in the game was more due to luck than skill.

That's all I've got to say; it was a really interesting experience, in the good way, and I'll be looking out for the sequel.

I've hardly started playing, I was compelled to pause to come back to comment: the music is bloody brilliant, and it helps create a great atmosphere.

What is this made in?

EDIT 1: controls. Unusual scheme; out of context it isn't bad or good, and I feel that the powerups work in a way of 'filling it up' (making it good).

I could not decide if it was better if the probe had some friction, i.e. didn't retain its speed if the mouse wasn't over a beacon.

One thing that should probably help getting used to the controls and provide some more feedback on what is going to happen is to draw a line between the probe and the cursor to indicate which direction is it going to move; if the cursor is over the beacon, make the line brighter / more visible.

So effectively, they're trying to ban all non-Korean and/or free games, did I get that right?  Is there some kind of lobbyism involved or something? 

No, they're trying to 'tax' ALL games going public in South Korea, Korean or non-, freeware or non-.

[- Even if game is NOT doing service inside Korean territory, must be rated!]

And here comes 1 more.

- Even if game is NOT doing service inside Korean territory, must be rated!

Webgames as O-game / Travian / Tribal Wars were BLOCKED from Korea, because they had Korean language service. Their server was NOT in Korea, their payment system was NOT in Korea, but GRB blocked them all. (For Tribal Wars, got Korean publisher & rated and re-opened by them.) And due to that, GRB now attacks even Steam by Valve!

Oh, okay. Thanks for clearing this up.

Still, I think and hope (at least for now, short of a better solution), that the South Korean Government doesn't have the resources to block out / attack EVERYTHING.

I'm more than happy and willing to help host South Korean devs' games. Technically, it won't be hosted on the server that I'm using (at least at the moment -- it's a free thing with limited storage); it's just a dedicated space for them to appear (editing in, doing a write-up, etc.). I have no ads & crap in place either.

The South Korean Games Bridge

Exactly; I just popped in to congratulate on finishing this great game. Although the art style isn't my thing, the fact that it was original and that it was backing up an enjoyably fresh game mechanic deserves props. The difficulty was right and the power-ups felt balanced too.

[...] I have a whole class of Kindergarten students who need to learn how to do everything.

awesomeness UP!

@Gyorgy: I'm still playing with the lives and the bonus life mark; I'll take another look at it. It remains pretty hard for me, too, so that's perhaps a bad sign.

I'm not one to talk about getting difficulty right, but it happened consistently, a lot of times that I already had sweat drops (the red coloured ones) rolling down my forehead, I had 40k-something points and 2-3 of my team, and bam, I died. As someone else said it might be a good idea easing up on boss 1's phase 3; it's not impossible but pretty hard to get between the boss' straight shots - I have no other angle to shoot at.

We're up to v0.84 with a plethora of things added and some things taken away (then some replaced), just to make for a cleaner library.

Mac OS X version is coming tomorrow, as well as something else.

Congratulations to everyone who pulled off a gam! Lots of great stuff has been born.

For the record, I do feel that Infinity Bit, Guitarguy Rocks Out and Together Fight! deserved more love, though, but that just me.

Wow, this game has eluded me somehow - until now. Although it's a bitch difficulty-wise, you've just nabbed a vote from, well, someone else. Great job!


EDIT: yeah, but we want more lives and extra lives at every 40.000.

The best gorgeous graphics for a very unrewarding game.

I started off with an "OMFG!" and went to an "uh, okay then".

The idea wouldn't be bad but the difficulty was a bit high up (or I suck at it -- I just noticed the walk over the pinecones mechanic) and there seemed to be no rewards for progressing.
