Pressure by Contacaton

made by Contacaton for LD29 (COMPO)

My now not so horribly broken first ever game.

Mac & Linux versions are unconfirmed as working at this time.

I fixed the game breaking bug I originally uploaded this game with :D This game is now playable :D

Bonus in code: see stuff I'm too incompetent to do yet. Also see my many inefficiencies.

Unity
Paint.NET

I gave it a go... the intro text was getting rather existential hehe

I was looking forward to doing something but it seemed to be stuck on a line of text with a heartbeat in my ear.

Very arty..

The game is pretty nonfunctional for me. Words appear on the left and there is a red ball in the center. Other then that nothing happens. It doesn't respond the space key either.

If you can't get this running on ubuntu try:

sudo apt-get install libxcursor1:i386 libglu1-mesa:i386

Sadly can't get past the intro text, but it is pretty intriguing from what I was able to experience. You should try fixing it, you're allowed to address basic errors like this after deadline if I recall correctly.

Yeah, the bug is the red 'bubbles' not being destroyed when you press space. Nothing works :P

If you press space rapidly before one appears, you'll get to see the 'ending'

I don't understand this game. But I like the way you pictured "death" (the visual representation for losing condition).
I know I died 2 times while trying to play this, but I still don't understand. I feel bad for losing something, so I can't vote, I think.

The controls don't seem to work, and don't sound so depressing in the description xD

oof, I wish you had included some way to speed along the intro text. I can't get past the text either but it seems promising? Don't be so negative though! Making a game in 2 days is hard stuff.

Web format of the game isn't online. The Windows format isn't playable.

Thanks for your input, Recon. The web issue has been sorted, though the Windows format seems fine to me.

Interesting. I like the feedback/increase in heartbeat and sky color. I got confused on the directions. Basically "hold space to get bubbles" means press space when the red spheres show up.

I must say it was funny, strange but funny :D

The game feels a little bit too easy?

Funny how the little story keeps you curious, despite the simple mechanics. Really original!

It's very different; not bad, just different. It's also worth mentioning that while the mood was evident, it was also rather confusing. I understand how I was supposed to feel, it just didn't make me feel that way.
