This is a cute idea, though I think the game is kind of inherently flawed since there's no danger. It can get a bit confusing if you make a mistake and you're still playing out a long sequence of inputs, but all you need to do is wait for 10 seconds and then continue from that spot. It's kind of fun to try to get way ahead of the bit, though, and that's what I was doing most of the time."},{"author_name":"killerstarbunny","author_uid":"20898","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 2:48am","epoch":1377657780,"text":"Fun but I got very bored waiting for my character to finally move and I would have liked a timer in the corner that told me how long i had to wait."},{"author_name":"Jordo76","author_uid":"26486","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 2:54am","epoch":1377658140,"text":"@DaVince : Mmmm, I've no idea what's the problem :\/\r@killerstarbunny : I thinked of this but I scraped it for the simple reason that to win the game (have 5 stars on levels) you need to plan ahead everything, if you did you wouldn't have to wait because it would start while you were still pressing the keys for the next moves 10 seconds after the one happening right now.\rThat's why I mention a pen and a paper, at some point in the game (especially the last level) you'll need to draw the level and which button open which door to have 5 stars."},{"author_name":"EmptyFlash","author_uid":"2457","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 3:25am","epoch":1377660000,"text":"Absolutely fanatic game, best one I've played so far."},{"author_name":"Angrycrow","author_uid":"5288","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 6:20am","epoch":1377670500,"text":"couldn't get it to run. rate my game! \rhttp:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-27\/?action=preview&uid=5288"},{"author_name":"markengley","author_uid":"4575","time":"Aug 29, 2013 @ 11:18pm","epoch":1377817980,"text":"Nice idea :)"},{"author_name":"Nick Cash","author_uid":"10844","time":"Aug 30, 2013 @ 1:05am","epoch":1377824400,"text":"A very nice entry! Levels felt varied and fairly interesting, and it is always nice to play a game with music and sound effects. Art was good as well.

Love it!\r\rThe disconnect between your button presses and the action on screen causes this incredible sense of anxiety - "Did I do it right?

(a Delay if you will. :P) Though counting tiles gets a little tedious and it's frustrating when I miscount and have to restart if I want 5 stars. The music didn't get repetitive though and probably helped me stay calm. There was a certain amount of polish on this game that can't be seen with screenshots. Also the little messages were a nice touch lightening the mood of the game and kinda peeks into your teams mind like what kind of jokes you might have made while working on it.\r\r-AlucardX60"}],"images":["ld27\/26486-bad16ecc6e15e2bcb9b77ef09d9dbfc3.jpg","ld27\/26486-373e1d25a8028e1d7b5a92e1c762e58e.jpg","ld27\/26486-e1765dab29db0e48c441efb2b2f9ad49.jpg","ld27\/26486-7ab7464ebd87d5303e91a88fd3d1b9bd.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/zqq6gnjpu0aefr0\/DelayedWindows.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/w89u23mcnmxrjyx\/DelayedOSX.zip","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/cvhdgvub8ze7nb4\/DelayedLinux.zip","text":"Linux"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/download\/details.aspx?id=20914","text":"XNA Framework (Windows)"},{"url":"http:\/\/download.mono-project.com\/archive\/2.10.11\/macos-10-x86\/\/MonoFramework-MRE-2.10.11.macos10.xamarin.x86.dmg","text":"Mono Runtime (OS\/X)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"23989","g_author":"26486","g_event":"LD27","g_eventkey":"18","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"24019","g_title":"Delayed","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"197","g_commentcount":"33","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/26486-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/26486-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/26486-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/26486-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Data transfer in the early years of the computer was slow, you're a Bit travelling to his destination, but you're having trouble moving with the 10 seconds of delay the data transfer is giving.\r\nThe game has got 18 levels ranging from easy to very hard and feature a rating at the end of each level.\r\nTake a pen and a paper because at some point in the game you will need them !\r\n\r\nThis game was made using CraftStudio, the cooperative game-making platform.\r\nTo play the game on Windows you need Microsoft XNA Framework Redistributable 4.0\r\nOr to play the game on Mac you need the Mono runtime.\r\n\r\nThis game was created in 72h by :\r\n-Jordo76 (Coding\/Graphics\/Levels)\r\n-Thoune (Levels)\r\n-XraYZ (Music) (http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/XraYZmusik)\r\n\r\nSpecial thanks (Ideas\/Beta-Testing\/Help) :\r\n-elisee (https:\/\/twitter.com\/elisee)\r\n-Acesential (http:\/\/acesential.deviantart.com\/)\r\n-Isaiah Kim (http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/isaiahdjkim)\r\nSounds were made using BFXR.\r\n\r\nSee you in December guys !","title":"Delayed"}
