Marvie! by epb9000

[raw]
made by epb9000 for LD28 (COMPO)
Marvie is spacefaring alien and can only travel along asteroids. But Marvie has a problem.

He kind of disintegrates every asteroid he touches. He can't help it. His psychologist says the condition will only get worse with age. How tragic.

That means he can only take a single path among any series of forks. Travel to different quadrants to see different sectors. Any name should produce a new set of base sectors for you to explore.

Note: public libraries used: CryptoJS, Sizzle

I wanted to try out some stuff in JavaScript, so here's my first solo entry.

good memory game, and it's dynamic with name.

It's a bit punishing making you start at level one again. I also would have liked keyboard controls. But it's simple and fun as it is!

My wrist totally agrees with you on the keyboard control bit. I planned to add it and then took waaaaay too long on the quadrant selection code. You couldn't win the game until an hour before deadline. ^_^;;

I couldn't quite figure out what's going on. Not very intuitive.

Very hard game. I found it like a reverse maze, very unique. I included it in my Ludum Dare 28 video compilation series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/sSLhI-W0qCg

Controls are a bit weird, but simple, fun game.

Ooohhh this is clever! I really enjoyed. I can totally see this as a mobile game, man. Go for it!

@DanielSnd, sorry about not putting an instructions link into the game panel itself, that would have allowed you to refer back to them. XD

@hbocao In fact, it was my plan to include a set of mobile CSS rules. It's all DOM elements so a couple of media queries would allow it to work well on mobile.

@Jupiter_Hadley Thanks for the coverage. :D

I went on vacation and now I'm so far behind on my game rating.

Cleverly simple.
+ Path generation algorithm looks good.
- You should allow keyboard controls.

Some way of locating the portal without having to search for it first would've been nice. Good concept though! I did enjoy it :)
