#1

I put that in quotes because I posted that on another forum and I was too lazy to write one for this. I also recommend you post high-scores!

My HS: 149,536.

this should be in show-off not the ladies club.

on topic it looks interesting.

#3

My mistake. :\

And thanks!

#4

Looks pretty nice to be honest.

#5

I like that music.

#6

My friend snake5creator composed it all. I picked music from his library of around 200+ songs that he made. Most are loops, though.

EDIT: v0.2 is underway! I have the changelog for what to expect here:

MY GOD, I JUST NOTICED I FORGOT A DOWNLOAD LINK. OH GOD WGNAET{HNAINH

#8

The basic premise sounds a lot like the old Sonic 3 and Knuckles Emerald stages with the spheres. Sounds cool, I’ll give this a download soon.

#9

It’s kind of good, but IMO it’d be better if you could use your mouse to control the square

#10

I’ll make it optional in the next update. :slight_smile:

#11

Pretty cool, I have some suggestions
-needs some stars, maybe rotating in the background or the sphere, a space theme goes well with the wireframe
-Turn the player into an aweome looking space ship and the killer squares into astroids, maybe you made them squares to avoid looking like an asteroids clone, but the gameplay is different so who cares
-player should leave a trail of smoke to add to difficulty
-difficulty needs to ascend quicker

I was for some reason thinking that the game was a spin off or in correlation to the movie Sphere with Dustin Hoffman from just reading the title.

To be honest it’s not something I would spend my time playing unless maybe I could get away with it at work.

Maybe try configuring the game to run on a smart phone and charge a dollar for it. Sell enough and you can make massive improvements. Or start a whole new game.

You’ve posted your game on these forums before; I remember it, because I was a bit unduly harsh in my criticism at the time and felt bad about it afterwards.

But I’ll say the same thing now that I was essentially trying to say then: I wouldn’t play this. It just doesn’t look fun or engaging at all to me.

#14

Don’t worry, I just wanted to experiment with design ideas with this. I think my eventual BIG project will be a Deus Ex like 2D Platformer, where every choice you make effects you and the world around you, and exploring every crevese can lead to rewards!

Of course, I know something like this is very ambitious, but I have created many documentations on how I could carry out something like this!

Thanks for the criticism by the way! :slight_smile:

Perhaps you should develop this for the new version of Windows and release it as a Metro app in the Windows store.

There are already planned to be many small games for desktop and tablet devices running Windows 8.

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
