You made something that feels very different from anything else I've played before. Very challenging. Level 3 took several tries but got as far as Level 5 before I put it down. I did stare at the game dumbly for the first few seconds because I didn't understand what the things on the screen represented, but eventually I just started randomly clicking on stuff until I noticed the click\/drag wire. The music is groovy, BTW.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Great work! Very unique!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>(Love &quot;love&quot;. hehe Had to click it.)"},{"author_name":"slowfrog","author_uid":"39076","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 8:11pm","epoch":1408997160,"text":"Wow! Awesome! A game where you are the keyboard!\r<br\/>Fits the theme (more on the Connected side than on the Worlds side, but anyways), simple but nice graphics, cool music that is not annoying, original control scheme that made me think of Etch-a-Sketch (or T&eacute;l&eacute;cran as it's known in France) because you only have the four directions that you have to combine.\r<br\/>My only (minor) gripe is the yellow text on green background in the beginning is really hard to read.\r<br\/>Lots of stars for you!"},{"author_name":"SenorDiablo","author_uid":"20137","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 8:14pm","epoch":1408997340,"text":"Nice game, I like the mechanic it was good fun to mess around and get used to. The only thing I would like is more level variety but to be honest in 48 hours I don't think that is realistic.

Pretty sure I miss very little to beat you =D Let's rush through the holes at highspeed and get a no-care win xD\r<br\/>- Audio, theme idea and overall realization are good.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>What imo could be improved :\r<br\/>- The Font is very tiny and the contrast isn't good enough for reading if you don't have good eyes.\r<br\/>- Graphics would be better being bound dtronger to you environnement. Is the moving dot an electron moving on a circuit ? let's show it more explicitely !\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall a good entry, thanks for the game =)"}],"images":["ld30\/35147-0c93b7fa61f6be4be3e25a6cd08f8bf0.jpg","ld30\/35147-d33a2a5005c817ba976d1d7733141185.jpg","ld30\/35147-7df13b70333ea72ddbe30473dc3904df.jpg","ld30\/35147-91ae8d249fa888753e7724243aba307b.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/Aomeas\/DisconnectedKeyboard\/raw\/master\/DK_Windows_32.zip","text":"Windows (32bits)"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/Aomeas\/DisconnectedKeyboard\/raw\/master\/DK_Windows_64.zip","text":"Windows (64bits)"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/Aomeas\/DisconnectedKeyboard\/raw\/master\/DisconnectedKeyboard.app.zip","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/Aomeas\/DisconnectedKeyboard\/raw\/master\/DisconnectedKeyboard.love.zip","text":"Linux (love)"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/Aomeas\/DisconnectedKeyboard\/raw\/master\/DK.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"15808","g_author":"35147","g_event":"LD30","g_eventkey":"24","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"15838","g_title":"Disconnected Keyboard","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"146","g_commentcount":"30","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/35147-shot0.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/35147-shot1.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/35147-shot2.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/35147-shot3.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"This gamer wants to finish his game, and you, little keyboard, must help him!\r\nYou have to link the controls to the power to move.\r\nKeep the virtual and the real world connected!\r\n\r\nControls :\r\nAll the game is mouse only\r\nLeft Click : Drag a wire from +Vcc to the control panel or Move a connected wire\r\nRight Click : Delete a wire\r\nYou can add several wires and remove a wire while creating one.\r\n\r\nHave fun and try to beat my record : finish the 11 levels in 101.9s!
