Memory Groove by voltorben

[raw]
made by voltorben for LD27 (COMPO)
Memory Groove is a small puzzle game that will put your memory to the test!

The goal of this game is to reach the end of the path in each level.
Each level is visible for 10 seconds - then you will have to navigate by memory.

Spend your 10 seconds wisely and remember you can move during the countdown to size up the level.
(the level will be visible for another 10 seconds between tries - press x to skip countdown)

Only works in Chrome (tested in Google Chrome 28.0.1500.95)

Controls are on the game page.

Made with:
- Audio Sauna + Adobe audition for music
- Adobe Photoshop CC for graphics
- cfxr for sounds effects
- Sublime text 2 with html, javascript (+jquery) and css. No other libraries were used.

----

This is my first Ludum Dare AND my first publicly available game.

I have included the source as a .zip, if you want to have a closer look - but beware! The code is very messy ;)

@celeron55: Crap :/ Does it say "Sorry, this game only works in Google Chrome"? Because the only reason it shouldn't start is if it thinks you're not in chrome.. I've added some console.log()'s - it would be really helpfull if you could run it again, and tell me what is says..

My brain is FRIED after yesterday, no way am I remembering more than a couple of these.

Good effort though - and a nice innovative game to go with the theme

Very innovative, but my brain can't remember all the paths, however, I'm not very brainy so... good game!

Worked fine for me in Chrome. A nice concept, but I sucked at it! I liked the Gameboy-style visuals.

well execute. I like the touch of seeing how many tries it took me to reach the end. Works really well with the theme. great job!

I can't get it to work, always stops with the loading bar all the way, or almost all the way across the screen. Console says 159 or 160 of 161 loaded, and it freezes there.

I'm using chrome on fedora linux.

PEOPLE WITH LINUX PROBS:
please try this: http://borglind.dk/memory_groove/linux
It seems like it doesn't preload all files. So i've set i timer for 4 secs and it will start, and hopefully as much as possible has been preloaded (worked fine for me on mac chrome, except a couple of the pics took a little time to show).
feedback is really appreciated!

Oh, and i want to say thanks to people for all the nice comments! Really makes me happy :) And yes, it is hard ;) i don't have quite a good short time memory myself, so hopefully it's not TOO hard.

OH! and if you get a perfect score, there is a little secret (what is a game without cheat codes?!)

Really cool! I got good scores until the last two levels, those are brutal. Loved everything about it.

Has a good feel to it, the later levels get a bit frustrating, but solid concept.

I had fun with this :) Fiendishly difficult, but gets easier once you get used to counting your key presses.

Nice game! Counting helps... xD
Made it to Level 7 until it froze on me (doesn't affect score though)... :)

Nice concept and nice gameboy like design,

here is a few feedbacks:

I had one minute where I couldn't get what I was suppose to do: probably that free move game phase is confusing, I would prefer that it behave like in the hidden phase, that you can't go out of the path and when reaching the end it should start the next phase.
Also why don't you use the '10 seconds' as a limit during the hidden game phase?


Bug: It seems if I press X multiple times when entering a level it stuck the game state.
