LudumData

Wanda by mahalis

[raw]
made by mahalis for LD31 (COMPO)
You are a telekinetic goldfish, finally realizing your dream of performing at the aquarium.

First Ludum Dare entry and my first time doing a game-jam-type thing solo. I think it’s gone well; the idea was simple so once it was working there was a lot of time to polish things. I hope you enjoy playing it.

(Messed up the permissions on the download at first—should work now, sorry about that!)

This was one of the games I saw a post for during development and had to favourite the artist so I could play it!

Fun concept, after getting the hang of controlling the bowl

I've been waiting and looking at every update! And it is just as fun as it looked! Really addicting too. It could use some music or somthing though. Also alot of the time it was hard to know where she was going to go. But love the art and the game.

Nor does the water. Telekinesis! :)

(in seriousness, I did consider at least making her slosh around inside the bowl, but didn’t get around to it)

Simple and fun(and funny).

The graphic looks comfortable, easy to play and hard to get more score.

Pretty fun at the start, could use another mechanic for a grat result, because that core is pretty addictive, congratulations :)

looks cool, any chance a web version will come out?

I’m afraid not—there’s an experimental project to run LÖVE games in JS with WebGL, but it doesn’t support the physics library which I’m using pretty heavily here.

cool game, you should give it some advantage and sell it!

It's fun to click as fast as you can and watch the fish tank bounce around.

Took a minute or so to get used to the mechanics, but it's fun! Presentation is great and the dry delivery is spot on. Made me chuckle a good few times. :)

Well done for first time doing a game jam style thing! Mine was a disaster. Anyway, simple and plays great.

Great game man. Nice imagination. About the difficulty level, its a type of game that hard at first but when you get used to it its pretty fun(Perfect for guy like me). An android game coming up?

At first it was hard to controll but after a while it was fun to make "tricks" in air by itself :)

Very solid game. Nice gameplay and graphics. 10/10 ;)

The score goes down by 2 each time you click and up by 3 when you make it through one of the hoops. I wanted to reward semi-deliberate use of your telekinesis over random clicking. :)

Very good and nice gameplay, but i think with minimalistic graphic like this http://ludumdare.com/compo/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/ld-test-2.gif it would have looked better.

This entry is killer! It does so much so well. You should be really proud of this. If there had been some kind of opposing element, something on screen to avoid, or even maybe just a timer, this game would be extremely well-balanced and fun. Current version is awesome but the player has it just a little too easy. So great though. Congrats!
