YOGOSec by aritzh

[raw]
made by aritzh for LD28 (COMPO)
This is my first entry.

A simple game in which you have to click the lit square within ONE second. Then another ONE lights up, and then another... for ONE minute.

There are also upgrades (green squares), that give you ONE extra second, both for each square, and for the game itself.

I liked the concept, the game is fun. I like how it gets frenetic. It could give a nice point/click game for a mobile platform, especially if you can change the game clothes and add a different meaning for the abstract concept.
Nice job on getting it done.

Yes good concept, I could have done without the one minute finish timer the finish was really abrupt. also the greens may be to close together. Buy the end of the game I had a good 10 seconds stored up it seamed. As said would make a great mobile app for wasting time.

I was plannning on porting it to android, since it's the only mobile platform I know well, but I didn't have time to do it for the compo, nor will I have in the following days, but I will definitely do it, as wekk asmaking it less abstract. Thanks for the feedback

This game was surprisingly fun. It's incredibly hard (which is good) but once you manage to get the first upgrade it gets so much easier, which destroys part of the fun, imo. Great game nonetheless.

I agree with the comments about putting it on mobile. The upgrade should be limited to just a few turns. As was said, once you have a few, the game is completely trivial. Nicely done!

This is my favourite entry so far. Super fun to play. I can feel my micro getting stronger by the second. Maybe this game can help me to finally get out of the gold league in sc2. The possibilities are endless. You should make a mobile version fo sho.

Nice work on this upgraded bar, I like the ways you build it while playing.
Maybe you could add some difficulty curve by increasing the maxmum radius of next square spawning zone. So in the beginning you will start with easy moves ( 3-4 squares distance ) to finally reach more challenging distances.

Frantic fun. And like others have said definitely would be great with touch controls.
