Make Some Friends! by Clavus

[raw]
made by Clavus for LD30 (COMPO)
Make some friends!

Some people are sad, angry, or even depressed. Their own little emotional islands. They need a helping hand; connect them with the happier folk to lighten their mood! However, the more people you connect, the more unwieldy the group becomes. Can you SAVE EVERYONE *cue drama*?

I wanted to take a more abstract approach to the theme this time around. Welp, still ended up creating a physics toybox.

(if you really can't be arsed, the number keys will bring you to their respective levels)

OS/X version is untested. Let me know if it works!

Very fun game! Challenging. Congrats. For a given arrow length generated force could be a little bit stronger.

Great idea ! I find it a bit difficult but I love the concept, and the game looks clean and is well explained.

@mess110: are you sure you have LOVE 0.9.1 installed? The love.math library wasn't available until version 0.9.

@Flyinpig5: you should be able to override Chrome's .exe flagging.

cute game; the OS X build works, although scrolling/zooming with a trackpad doesn't work so well

I absolutely liked this game. It has an innovative concept and allows player to solve the puzzles that have some deeper sense.

Nice game.. Very cute with the emoticons and nice mechanics..
With a nice background music could be a 5/5 but for no 4/5

Relaxing. And that sound, like those magnetic orb things clicking together. Maybe that's what it is? Could do with some smooth background music too.

Really fun, hard, but I am not sure how you could have avoided that.
