And i nerfed the scoring for eliminating columns, AND i added more levels. yer score may stand the test of time. or... willit?

So I've got my entry in the "MVP" (minimum viable product... translation... just barely working) state.

You can find it here.

Problem: I write code. I grab art from game icons. I generate sfx with things like bfxr.

If you can help by contributing in a specific area, I give full credit for contribution.

A call for art, sfx, and music.

As you can see, I've got a game that works.

And the graphics are placeholder.

And there is no sound.

And there is no music.

That's because... I fake all of those with online assets and things like sfxr.

The individual sprites are 64x64 pixels.

I give full credit for contributions.

I'm very, very, VERY in.

I'm even considering getting ballet slippers and a tutu.

No, I'm not(getting a tutu. still making a game). Because finding them in my size seems difficult, and putting the time in just isn't my way.

Tho, I did do a quick search on amazon.

I will be streaming my participation. From 4AM to 6AM CDT. On twitch.

I give this all the stars.

I got through several rooms, then I got stuck.

There are some minor graphical glitches with rendering order, but that's just part of this game's charm, I think.

I assume that the Devil of Christmas is a LIZZID PERSON.

For the love of freedom! Denounce all the LIZZID PEEPLE!

Get so denounced, LIZZID PEEPLE!

I give this all the stars.

Pretty sure if we take care of all this static, we will keep the LIZZID PEEPLE from taking over.

Unless... izzit too late?

RIP GG

I DENOUNCE YOU AS A LIZZID PERSON!

::awaits the mobs that will tear him apart::

You get all the stars.

Is it my sort of game? No.

Do I get what yer doing here? Yes.

Did you do it well? Yes.

it feels bigger because of the multiple maps at multiple scales.

the "galaxy" is 63 x 63 and generates stars a with a minimum distance depending on the galactic density of the embark options.

each star system is 31 x 31, and each "planet vicinity" is 15 x 15, and then the planet orbit is 11 x 11.

and hi, John. lovely to see you.

Enter to unlock the door should ALSO open the door.

A solid little game.

I found the controls a little clunky. I don't rate down for this because I am well known for my clunky controls.

I quickly was "slain" (or driven insane, whichever) by my first fight.

Good visuals. I liked it.

Maybe not have it be "test_build_01.exe".

Seems sus.

some glitchy things happened.

I was thrown out of the world.

Obviously there's a solid start here.

Dagon wins this round.

Fairly blue.

Solid dungeon crawler.

Though I admit that the second I got the map, I left it up the whole time and used primarily it to navigate the whole thing.

Which means I wasn't using the 3d perspective, but the 2d map.

Changes the approach to the game.

This game is quirky and weird.

So I approve.

I fought cats, and mud golems, and abominable affronts to my sanity.

And as a bonus, it let me pick the wizard guy for all three slots.

All the stars.

Didnt go to the boss.

Just had a shootout with scooby doo vilains.

Shot some batteries.

I'm pretty sure it was Mr. Withers this WHOLE time.

Good game.

Sluggish controls really wreck the experience.

You had me at "smash things with a pipe wrench" tho.

And who doesn't love a good "click things to progress" game?

This game was an assault on my senses.

So I loved it.

I got to do shrooms.

I got fill... whatever.

The bee was menacing.

I did not make it.

But I did not mind not making it.

Good game.

All the stars.

This was an amazing experience.

I got to type things.

I got to have needlessly loud footsteps.

I got to be an amish dude in what I imagine to be a weird sex dungeon with panelling. with taxidermy. The taxidermy was a nice tough.

I got to attack pointer-mike.

All the stars.

At first I was afraid.

I was petrified.

I was getting clobbered with madness by mushrooms.

Then I found a book.

And a mid-80s heavy metal band started playin.

Then I was zapping those mushrooms with what I assume was the Power of Rock.

Then I died of madness.

Good game.

Very pretty.

Very rough.

I was able to strafe immediately off the rails.

I did press F to Take The Power!

But then got stuck in a door with Master Chief threatening me to fire.

Lots of potential here.

I got some loot.

I killeded some heretics.

Obviously for their heresy.

Can't stand heresy.

My friends can all tell you.

Solid game.

Interesting choice on the combat.

I was alone. I fought shadowy dudes.

I got punched in the D by batman.

Dunno why you called it a moonraker.

That reminded me of a James Bond film.

Because I'm old.

Good game.

One of the big things I'm learning about my game is that my original philosophy of "let them figure it out" is far to old school to continue with.

Modern sensitivities need tutorials, so I need to work my engine to support them.

Thanks for giving it a go.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Fortunately, I played it on stream, and my viewers insisted that I not skip the intro.

FISHY FISH!

All the stars.

also.. nullwww

I was killed to death by the Uterus monsters.

I guess I had it coming.

I was delighted by the spelling of the word "Roap".

Prolly more than I should have been.

All the stars.

From a rules perspective, a DQ.

I think this is a very good game and I'm glad that it exists.

That said. I cannot stand to continue to play it because of the wobble.

There's a lot here.

Its very artistic. Very creative.

I am blinded by its awesomeness.

Seriously.

All the stars.

But no roap.

I got to travel in space.

I got to fight zombies.

I got to put three letters in order.

Excellent game.

I gave up when wandering around the eyeball room on planet Mustafar.

It took me entirely too long to pick up the sledgehammer.

Then I played minecraft.

Then I died to skeletons.

Good game.

Thanks for giving it a go.

The mechanic really resonated with me as well. I was pleased to discover it. I wasn't really sure the mechanics were going to work out until I had them implemented.

Even so, it is clear that more can be done with it. Prolly differing column and row counts, but by the time I thought of that, I didn't want to mess up what I already had that worked.

Thanks for giving it a go.

The old school aesthetic isn't for everyone, and dealing with menu-hell is a common bit of feedback.

I also do next to zero tutorializing on how to play the game, other than the combat, which was weird enough to need a video.

But that, too, is old school, I reckon.

The win state is by dealing with all of the traumas.

There are a few minor bug/glitches/accidental features in how the combat gets triggered.

But that's the thing about recovery... yer never sure when yer gonna get triggered.

So, we'll call it... thematic?

Thanks for giving it a go.

GamePad control games be like that I guess, but I do have plans to incorporate a couple other buttons. Right now, its just D-Pad, A, B, and I'll be bringing in Back and Start to help with things.

Thanks for giving it a go.

I played it.

Not as straightforward as I would have liked.

But good job shipping something!

I got quickly killed by what I presume is a trap.

You totally shipped a game, tho!

Gave me an out of memory error.

I think I got confused somewhere. 

Ovens and stoves eat the food, make a green bar move, and then....?

I wanted to like it.
