There was bit delay with the controls (I pressed space, but the cubeying thingy happened way later). Maybe html5 related.\r\rI think this game would have been better without those voices... sorry! :D\r\rGrainy art style is interesting! Very interesting actually.\r\rI was wondering that a smaller level approach could make this game more fun: instead of needing to take a long walk, there would be smaller space to interact. This would help player see the full puzzle too.\r\rOverall, I liked this one."}],"images":["ld30\/10395-17343d4c252cb641fd1afc0c9cfa9c33.jpg","ld30\/10395-cf44805f89c53ce1c633692809b2273c.jpg","ld30\/10395-910f3809486cbe3763c747dde0a4c6a5.jpg","ld30\/10395-1263285eeaffd3cfb864d21f6d1926da.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/ninetysixideas.net\/projects\/LD30\/","text":"Web (HTML5)"},{"url":"http:\/\/ninetysixideas.net\/projects\/LD30\/LD30_Larzan.7z","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"17416","g_author":"10395","g_event":"LD30","g_eventkey":"24","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"17445","g_title":"Connect with the Dirt","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"905","g_commentcount":"33","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\/10395-shot0.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/10395-shot1.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/10395-shot2.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/375043\/10395-shot3.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"This time i had no idea what to do with the theme after hours of diddling this is what came out, don't judge me, next time will be better.\r\n\r\nMove your block with cursor keys, up to jump.\r\n\r\nUse space to switch to 'connect mode' (see below)\r\n\r\nWhen collecting gems you get points.\r\n\r\nWhen you collect small orange blocks you get an extra live with which you can create a 'connected' block which will help you next incarnation to reach places that were otherwise unreachable (just jump and press space while in air, on contact with the level the player will become a block himself).\r\n\r\nSo, start connecting...\r\n\r\n******** MADE WITH ************\r\nCode: HTML, Phaser JS\r\nArt: Fireworks\r\nSound: Audacity, Voicebox\r\nIDE: PHPStorm (the best ;) )\r\n*******************************\r\n\r\np.s.: Filters don't work on Safari, better use Chrome","title":"Connect with the Dirt"}
