Magic Power = 10x by Koltiman

[raw]
made by Koltiman for LD27 (COMPO)
What do you do when you find yourself stuck in an abandoned facility, equipped with nothing more than telekenisis and a crate? You use your magic to move the crate, solving puzzles of course! Just watch out, your magic can only be used for 10 seconds! D:

This game is very short (2-5 minutes, depending on your puzzling skills), and completely written in Java, meaning the jar (should) work(s) on every OS.

Very fun idea! You can sort of get stuck on one of the levels (I got out by jumping and then moving the box) so perhaps being able to press R at any time would be good?

I finished it! Cute ending, I liked the cryptic message at the start ;)

Getting stuck on the box was actually a precaution to make sure players couldn't cheat (in earlier versions, you could stand on the box and move it around, thus defeting the idea), i should have mentioned it but kindoff forgot :P

Cool little game, the text was kinda tough to read but other than that it was very creative and I quite enjoyed it.

This is a pretty fun game, love the idea! Great job for the time, however I also couldnt really read the text. Because this game is a small java window, it will not record with fraps. Therefore, I could not add it to my LD27 video compilation series... sorry

Im thinking about doing a post compo with smaller textures and bigger window among other things.

Impressive. It was a little tough to figure out what I was trying to accomplish on the first level, after that it was pretty simple. Twist ending made me laugh :)

Neat idea. I got stuck on the level with the 3-block pillar. There doesn't seem to be any way to get past it. Is that intentional?

The level with the long pillar is intentional. You are suppoused to let the magic time run out and then "go back in time" ;)
