What is in the end? by goro

[raw]
made by goro for LD31 (JAM)
We are glad to present you our first game! Inspired by the reflections of the infinite and Nolan's masterpiece.
You play as a black hole , and your goal is not to absorb McConaughey, as he is a great actor, isn't he?

McConaughey would be absorbed in this game.

A bit frustrating as sometimes you lose randomly (maybe because there is McConaughey coming in but not yet visible?)

Took me a few goes to work out the controls, but an interesting idea once I understood it. Having the black hole instantly absorb in only one direction isn't particularly intuitive! Perhaps add animation showing things being dragged into the black hole, or replace the black hole with a giant laser that vaporises in each direction?

Lots of scope for a very playable game here, if you choose to continue working on it.

I loved the music and the background! I got a tad confused at the controls though, as my WASD did apparantly do nothing? Somehow I won the game without realising what was happening. Good luck and Merry Christmas!

More player feedback needed so you can help them understand what their controls are doing. Cool audio tho!

Nice compo, but it's cheat because Interstellar is one of the best movie than I've seen. (The ambient music work good with the game's theme)

Nice entry :).
Also, if blackhole apocalypse is happening, we can use McConaughey to protect us :D.

I wanted to absorb McConaughey! ;) ... but I know that isn't the point of the game. Nice graphics and sound. Good work!

I won but couldn't explain why! Is the thing in the middle some sort of black hole? Anyway nice backround and sound.

Nice game, a bit confusing at the beginning, as you may lose because of some Matthew (not in sight) in that sector, killing him accidentally :| A very selective dark hole, if it attracts from a single direction :D

Interesting mechanics. Hard to understand sometimes what made me lose, but overall nice job! :D

Hmmm, the WASD controls, I couldnt really see how they worked :/
Sound and Art are nice

Made me dizzy! Didn't really understand the mechanics? At first I would die almost instantly. Then I read som of the comments and one of them said that you absorb in one direction at a time when one of the WASD-keys are pressed. When I tried this nothing at all happened. The game would just keep on going.

not bad idea, but there was a time i could do nothing because that guy was so often there and any direction would have killed him. What is the criteria to win? suddenly had You Win
