Brillium by Cody Ward

[raw]
made by Cody Ward for LD30 (COMPO)
Brillium

(Note : game becomes unstable after first play, refresh browser for better performance)

You have three worlds, they are connected by their resources.
There is not enough resources for all three worlds, and you must manage the matter between them to win.

Keys 1-6 to pick a material type
Click and Drag to move resources

Pull resources from planet to planet in order to fill all the health bars, and the main health bar on the bottom. If a planet goes without a resource for too long its health bar drains. If too many bars empty, you will lose.

really cool idea, and the gameplay is good.
would be nice if the number keys lined up to the color bars.
As in, currently, I press 1, and I get the brown one selected(which is in the first position), ok cool, but when I select 2, I get green, which is in the 3rd position? kinda confusing.

also, there weren't enough resources to go around, for example, all three planets had really low brown, so I couldn't do anything to save them.
But good job fellow first-timer! it's pretty good! I forgot to mention I really liked the color scheme; it had a really soothing feel.

Had a hard time running the game, and when I did, I just couldn't understand what I was supposed to do...

I'll come back later and give it another go, though.

Cool concept, and the most solid interpretation of the theme I've seen. I agree with a previous comment, it would have been great the the keys lined up with the bars.

Could be an interesting resource management game. I would like it if the order of the colors coincided with the numbers 1-6. Also, many times I lost because all 3 planets lost all of the same color. :-( Good idea; could be fun. Effects are nice, and good soundtrack.

It's very hard to know what to do, and the fact that 1-6 don't line up with the actual colors makes it even more difficult. A better explanation would have gone a long way. Still, the parts you got done were done well.

As others have noted, this would be much easier to play if the keys matched the resource bars. Right now it feels a bit like rubbing your stomach and patting your head at the same time...

You guys are all right, I definitely should have made the bars correspond to the keys. Seems dumb looking back on it haha

Interesting concept and a nice presentation =)
I don't seem to be able to stay alive very long though. Probably my fault.

very confusing that the bars are not in the same order as the 1-6 keys that select them. more feedback on selected element would be good. colour of the cursor was not enough with some of the elements having similar colour. good job

It's a great way to interpret the theme. It was pretty challenging since the numbers didn't align with the colors, but still pretty fun! Great job for your first entry!

A little hard to play if you have color blindness but a neat idea.

Hi there... Sort of started to work and then crashed. Second time (refresh) worked a bit longer. Interesting mechanic, like the abstract resources. Good job!

Nice idea, found it very hard.. But that's ok :) Only thing is the keys setup as others have mentioned.
