But I'm pretty sure this satisfies most of them! It's got a challenge - an obstacle to overcome.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>True, it's not very deep, there aren't a whole lot of skills to master - well, I dunno, it seems to me when I push two directions at once the circles move faster ... maybe it's just imagination?

You did it! That is all the pieces you need: I'd make the ball move 3 times faster - and that's a wrap. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Actually, it would be really cool\/insane if you only moved each dot if you had _both_ controls down: so if you just pressed W nothing would happen, but if you pressed W AND down arrow then the white one would move up, and the black one down... so you have to synchronize...

And while I didn't really make a game per se, I'm happy I finished. Kind of.\r\n\r\nMy original idea was to have two planets in a collapsing universe that needed to collide to make a new one without hitting the black hole thing in the middle. Once a new universe is created, you take on the color properties of the 'galaxy' from the previous universe.\r\n\r\nI used phaser, and ran into a lot of problems. Mostly collision detection and  when I sort of figured that out I couldn't figure out how to make levels.\r\n\r\nI didn't RTFM, which is also a problem.\r\n\r\nEach level is pretty much the same, but there is a win\/lose aspect of it I suppose.\r\n\r\nI'm happy I didn't give up, and I think next time I'm going to try a different framework and read up on it before choosing. \r\n\r\nI hope you enjoy the prize. :)","title":"It works!
