Sinking Feeling by Gwinnell

[raw]
made by Gwinnell for LD29 (COMPO)
SINKING FEELING is a game where you fall through space and time... sort of. It's mostly glass! (INVISIBLE SURFACES).

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Use arrow keys to SMASH THAT GLASS.
- Avoid the sharp bits (AKA the sides and ends).
- New content for every 10 panes smashed.

NOW AVAILABLE:
- Browser version!

FIXES:
- OSX: Game no longer crashes when hitting glass.
- Windows: Audio no longer plays once the game window is closed.
- Windows: Missing dlls msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll are now included in the download.
- Windows: Added error message if your computer does not support OpenGL 3.2.

TODO:
- Mobile version?
- Super speeeeed!

I like the audio and the visual presentation fits well, too. The game is quite hard but still very addictive! For a post-compo version, I would make it a little, little bit easier by moving the player a bit to the top so he has more time to react. My record was 22. The music kept playing for a while after I closed the game :D

Hm. It says that MSVCR120.dll is missing when I try to launch on Windows.

Crashes for me as well, but I was able to get a good feel for the game before it happened.

@dector: Is that something you'd be interested in?! :D I'd need to balance it a whole lot more before a proper release though. :)

Same here, account suspended. Use dropbox or hostr or something - some web hosts don't appreciate actual traffic >_>.

@Newt_ @Spaceoff -- WHOOPS! I didn't go over the bandwidth limit, I somehow missed an invoice from my hosting provider. All fixed now!

Cool little game. Seems like it'd be a great fit for mobile. I like the glass breaking effects.

Doesn't fit the theme that much, but definively that kind of addictive and simple game that works very well.

I had some glass panel not being destroyed when I hit them (but still added to the score, so I guess it's okay), but really well done anyway. :)

Awesome job! great graphics, I was rockin to the music, and really nice risk/reward gameplay. Its allot like the games I make in that regard, could be a great mobile game!

Oh it's really addictive... enjoyed a lot! Web version seems a little buggy( I fall through a grass but sometime it just not counted ), so I tried download version and finally got 21.

OMG this is sooo good I'm going to spend all night playing this!!! <3<3
You really nailed the addictive and frustrating gameplay, and on top of that it's visually stunning and the audio is perfect. 5/5 one of the most fun games this LD!

I love this game. It's a head falling through panes of glass in space. I played a lot of times and finally got to the white screen and will play more. I think the idea of going for or avoiding the glass is great.
