Disconnect by banana4life

made by banana4life for LD30 (JAM)

Hey guys,

We are a german team consisting of 4 members. We came up with our wonderful game "Disconnect".

You play two players that are in two different worlds, but were connected by evil scientists. Now they can only move when the other person can move too. They only have a disconnector that allows them to wander around independently for a short time before the energy goes out. You need to find the endless powersource, developed in the same lab, to be able to disconnect and free the two forever. But be aware of the guards walking around.

I (Jonas) made a short playthrough of our game for you to watch:

Have fun with our entry,

Interesting idea. Somewhat glitchy and hard to figure out the controls at first. Could be a pretty cool game if you kept working on it. Thanks for the walkthru :)

Thanks. Yeah it was kind of hard to sync the two players, when only one collides. We had real issues with the collision detection, but in the end it worked somehow. :D

Very nice idea, a bit confusing, but it is really fun once you understand

Thanks guys. Yeah it is a bit confusing when one walks against a wall and you fokus on the other, wondering why he is not moving. :D

I like the style, and I've never seen your take on "hidden" tiles hidden by walls before. Also very entertained and loved your interpretation of the theme. I am very impressed with this.

Nice, clever idea that is fun to play. Collisions could use some work though.

Great game and idea. I got stuck for a little while and got frustrated with all the deaths! But, remembering time and checkpoints would have been a good chunk of code I guess. Great fun!

I dig it, could use a little refining but overall a neat little game.

Cool idea, took a couple times before I felt like I knew what I was doing though. Good work!

I really, really, really loved the music. The game was good by itself, but really, that was great music.

Didn't rate this since I can't play it - both cross platform and windows version stop half-way through with a Failed - Network Error (Chrome and Firefox on Win7)...

@vividhelix I'm sorry for that, we can't reproduce the problem on our side :(

Interesting idea. The hidden keys were a bit confusing though.
Some soundeffects for the timer would have been nice. Except for that it is a nice little game.

Interesting idea I just wish it wasn't so easy to screw up the doors, good job!

Had some trouble figuring out how everything worked (big blob of text right at the beginning is where you put things you DON'T want people to read :P)

Awesome game! The music is so cool. Congrats for the entry.

randomizing the guards can screw with such games, had to restart once because it was impossible to pass a guard in time to be reconnected

The graphics and audio are nice, and the gameplay is tight. The puzzles are difficult to figure out because of the hidden tiles. The controls can be a little confusing, but good game overall.
