Rewind by sergilazaro

[raw]
made by sergilazaro for LD27 (COMPO)
Pause, rewind and resume the movement of circles, in order to accumulate 10 seconds of *forward* movement among them. That is, if a circle goes forward, it adds time, if it goes backward, it subtracts time. Circles stop when they collide with each other.

Click on a circle: pause/rewind/resume (depending on the icon on it).
Right click: rewind (when possible).

Update (2013-09-05): Added binaries for Android (.apk) and Linux. The Linux build is untested, I used the Unity export and crossed my fingers. Let me know if it works, if you try it. Also, the Android version has no right-click, but it's solvable still, just a bit more awkward.

Excellent idea, but you should try to explain it because it's a bit diffult at first. Each circle has a direction, moving in this direction add time, while moving backware remove time. You have to get a total time of 10 to win. The game is great and well done, congratz !

Thanks for playing! I agree, it's a bit confusing, I didn't totally explain everything in-game. I thought I had added a description here, but somehow it didn't save. Anyway, it's there now, to clear things up. :)

Compo entries require source code. Where is your source code?

Nice game! It took me a few minutes to get what was the objective but once I got it, it was pretty fun to play. Pity there weren't any music for such a game though. Very nice designs!

Source code added! Sorry, I had forgotten. It's just a zip with the Unity folder.

Neat gameplay. Could see it expanded on perhaps with improved art and sounds.

Great idea, perhaps a little slow at times but still an excellent use of the theme. Good work!

It so should have music/sounds, one per button that goes forward or reverse depending on how you have clicked them! Nice puzzle.

The game is quite simple to beat - still, the idea is just awesome! The hardest part was to find out the game rules. After all is said and done, it's a nice new style of a puzzle game.

Clever gameplay mechanic. What's missing is restart level button.

Good concept and game! Really enjoyable all the way through. Would've like some more. And sound since you are pressing PLAY buttons :)

A little difficult to grasp at first, but very clever once I understood it! Good job.

I really like this concept and I think it could be expanded upon to make the puzzles a little more interesting over time. Nice job!

Very creative (and fun) puzzle. It would be nice to have a visual indication of which circles were fast vs. slow.

Awesome puzzle game, great use of the theme. I featured it in my Ludum Dare 27 video compilation series, if you'd like to check it out, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGdyZZ8iT10

I love when I find a gem of an idea like this, great stuff. Lots of room to do more with this. The genius part is the rewind/forward relation (moving wrong direction = minus time, right = more. So always completely balanced). Well done.

Great concept! Reminds me a bit of Hundreds, with time instead of area as winning criteria. Great job!
