10 Squared by Impmaster

[raw]
made by Impmaster for LD27 (COMPO)
Hey all. This was my first try at Ludum Dare. I built my game using Java and Slick2d, plus other free tools like Tiled. I made the music and the images myself, although I don't truly consider myself an artist or a musician. Some criticism would be good, although I would like to keep it constructive.


Ooh, also, seizure warning alert. Plenty of flashing colors in my game.

Also warning: Pretty hard. :D

I really enjoyed this one. I suck at it, but I like it. I couldn't beat Fun #1 and gave up shortly after my death count passed 50. xD

Hm... Thanks to Crowbeak. To the rest of the people who can't get it, for some reason when I click on the link, I can get it, and yesterday, some friends managed to get it. A few minutes ago, it didn't work, yet now it does. Could you please try again? I don't use Dropbox much, so if there is something obvious I'm not doing, tell me. I'm just hitting copy public link and posting that link.

ARGH IT'S SO HARD! Really enjoyable though. The music's nice! I suck at this too :P

Maybe you should make easy and hard modes to make the game a little more accessible. Maybe in easy mode bullets should be slower or something like that, and in hard mode distractions such as flashing dots should be employed (although it should be kept to a minimum just in case :P )

Excellent game, anyway :)

Linux link works fine, by the way.

Whoa my eyes hurt. :) Hopefully nobody gets a seizure from playing it. Nice simple game though :)

Nice job, but the flashing colors are headache inducing. But the music was awesome!

By the way, I fixed the OS X download on my game.

It's kind of funny, cause everyone's saying that the music was awesome, but that was the part that I thought people wouldn't like, after maybe the art.

Doesn't run on 64-bit linux. ELFCLASS32 possible word size mismatch errors. Can you try releasing with a newer version of lwjgl?
🎤 Impmaster
26. Aug 2013 · 10:12 UTC
Alright, I updated the lwjgl for Linux boxes. Try again.

ARGH. PORTING BUGS. See the thing is, I only have a mac, so I can't really test these other files. I'll see what I can do later.

And I played it on Mac. xD Hence no buggery. Check the LD IRC and see if someone can help you build the other versions.

It should work on all platforms now. Apparently, it loads slowly on Windows though.

This is so good to play. The graphics style remind me of VVVVV and the classic Spectrum and C64 games. Very cool!

Awesome game. Beat it with 250 deaths (score -158). The '+ LVL' was a real nightmare. The timer countdown was far too loud, though; I had to turn down the great music to prevent that sound from being too loud.

I'm on Windows 7, and the window for the game pops up and closes immediately.

I was streaming when I played your game. :D Wanna see? http://www.twitch.tv/crowbeak/c/2836962

@kirbytails7 : Do you have Java installed? Is your OS 64-bit or 32? I dunno what's going on.

Oh yeah this is hard alright! Fun though, with nice trippy visuals and sounds. I would have liked a difficulty setting but otherwise this is a cool little game.

you need a warning about the light. A title screen huge warning about how it can cause seizures.

I found this game hard but good, It does need a warning about the flashing lights however... I featured it in my Ludum Dare 27 compilation video series, if youd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/7EzKbFuvC2A
