Dead Pixels by marvalgames

[raw]
made by marvalgames for LD31 (COMPO)
W-A-S-D or GAMEPAD (recommended) to control your TV screen.
Center the TV Circle on the enemies.
When the enemies turn green press MOUSE CLICK or GAMEPAD BUTTON to delete them.
The screen will expand slowly when no enemy targets are on your TV screen.
The screen will shrink slightly when enemies are on your TV screen.
The screen will shrink when enemies are destroyed.
Delete all enemies before your TV screen is bigger than your PC screen!
Currently one level with 27 enemies to destroy.
Is it worth turning this into a full game??
Looking forward to any kind of feedback.

Fun and cool idea, but I think pressing space is a little hard.

The idea is fun, but I found the game to be lagging a bit, and it was really hard to put the center of the screen onto the vira. :(

There seems to be a bug where you stop being able to move.

Well, good game. Maybe lacks a bit of feedback to make the kill easier.

Thanks :)
I changed to mouse click. Not sure why I used space anyway.
Probably because I mostly used a gamepad.
Appreciate all feeedback.

Interesting idea, but I think you could've used the growing screen in a more clever way rather than just a time limit. Also, it seems that sometimes you get stuck for no reason, which prevents you from chasing the bugs...

These are the fastest dead pixels I've ever seen! Nice concept and it fits perfectly to the theme. I would have also liked to see some feedback when you kill an enemy. The controls had a bit lag, was it intended?

@Scam
I added some drag so the control would be tighter because I ketp flying past the target even at slower sppeds but I may have used too much drag.
Thanks for the feedback

Interesting connection to the theme! The game is a bit easy, but with more levels that would probably change.

Hi there. Interesting idea. Seemed to be a bit unpredictable when get green, and then didn't really last long enough. Like the sounds. Good job!

Bit of a weird game, but well done. I Included it in part 16 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/3EfYtGD2H88
