That's weird, I don't have any problem downloading it...does it happen if you try again? Maybe dropbox was having a temporary issue with their https certificate.

I'm working on an infinite runner in Unity.  I'm almost done with it, probably just going to add sound and do some cleanup then call it a day Smiley

This looks really interesting. I tried the beta and was able to figure out how to move the submarine and shoot, unfortunately nobody else was online and the game reset every ~30s. I'll give it another try in the future though!

I played 5 levels or so, liked it!  For some reason it's fun just moving the guy around. I always get confused by diagonally aligned arrow controls though, it might help if you had an image on screen of the arrow keys / wasd keys rotated to point in the direction of the grid. I stopped playing because the levels seemed alike.

I checked out the trial, thought it was pretty good but not polished enough to want to play more than the 5 minute time limit. More visual detail would help, for example you should definitely have some kind of awesome outer space background instead of plain black, animated models would be nice, could do more with lighting & the surface of the moon, etc. Gameplay-wise the enemies don't seem to have that much distinction, seems like there were no powerups, no big events broke the flow of normal play. So, I think it's too basic to play for long, but that it's a good foundation to build on.

- The ending was awesome! I tore up half the map running away from bats. Felt good.

Ran with no problems on Win7. I think usability is the strongest point, the interface is really nice & the tooltips work great (except that vulnerabilities are cut off at the bottom of the screen). I never felt there was information that I needed but couldn't get.  It looks and sounds good, too.

I didn't find the gameplay very deep, or it didn't show its depth within 3 levels (in which case I would say the pace is too slow for me). I was intrigued at first but after a while it seemed like there were only a few fairly simple things I could do to optimize combat, and past that it was all dice rolls and inevitably increasing stats. I never found any way to apply the defense / vulnerability types.

Anyway, there's countless ways you could make it more complicated and more skill-based if you want to, don't need me to tell you.

I like the idea but it seems like right now you have to look at the map and input every situation your character will be in verbatim, which is pretty simple / boring. Maybe you could make it more interesting by having wildcards so that one instruction could be used in multiple places, and then limit how many instructions the player is allowed to create. You should check out zachtronics for examples of good programming game mechanics.

I love this game!! I think the floaty/laggy controls are a good thing, there's something antique? and whimsical about the uneven way things move around, it's like a terry gilliam animation.

This is fun. My favorite part is watching my sad little wheels roll off, each time I run out of english...

I extracted everything from the zip and ran the game, but got this error.

---------------------------
kickstick.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The program can't start because MSVCP100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

OK

It looks nice and the sound is great. It's a little slow though. It was never hard to stay inside the bubbles. Maybe if they shrank while you were inside or something so you had to keep moving? Still basically I really liked this game.

My power supply died while I was playing snakes of avalon! That is how hard it rocked.

look at it (flash)

I made this but I don't have any ideas for it, maybe you do though, so have the source and I can explain anything that's not clear. Perhaps you could implement, "hillsides"

Nice game.  After a couple minutes I got decent control over the ship and really enjoyed the challenge of managing inertia while also trying to keep track of orientation and location of threats.

While I did like it, I would probably play a lot more if there were a greater escalation of powers and challenges. When I was playing I died pretty often and kept losing all my stuff, but the enemies didn't really get much harder either so it didn't matter. It would be more interesting if you could build up more and more speed and firepower while playing against bigger mobs of enemies too. (Maybe that does happen but the pace or difficulty curve was just off for me?)

this will get you sued by that sad old crackpot what'sname, rousing furious indignation amongst indies and catapulting your project to fame...clever Gentleman

will you post a demo anyway? People around here are pretty good at having fun with not-fun things. Personally I've cultivated so strong a taste for incomplete work that I am no longer able to play finished games.

I like this, the graphics are really different and effective and the way that the difficulty increases as the game goes on was clever. It reminds me of this orisinal game http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g2/truth.htm, although it's better than that one was.

This looks fun, can I play it?

BSoD is always an OS, driver or hardware bug, it happens when there is a crash in kernel mode (ex. kernel dereferences a bad pointer). It might be possible to work around the bug in your game if you can figure out what triggers it, though.
20  Developer / Playtesting / Re: Nation Of Reincars on: July 20, 2010, 08:49:23 PM
nice game! I like that it really focused on its central puzzle of figuring out the right order, no difficult timing or generic platformer challenges. The presentation was really good too.

I do have a minor bug report, the worm is real glitchy if you dig in the dirt that hangs from the top. Also it would have been a clever puzzle to take the worm up there! At least I thought I was clever until I found it didn't work out.
