Nami No Mizu by PanicTheFirst

[raw]
made by PanicTheFirst for LD35 (JAM)
This is my second Gamejam and i have to say im pretty happy with the results.

The game is set in a living room on an indoor waterfall. You have to transform the wooden Objects to guide the lily to it's pad. But watch out for dangerous objects!

Tools I used:
- Unity
- Blender
- Audacity
- Sounds were taken from this awesome Pack: http://www.sonniss.com/gameaudiogdc2016/
- Font: https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/railway-sans

Special Thanks to Marius Behnke for testing and choosing a name for the game!


Update (20.04.):
- Web and OSX Version added
- fixed a bug where the ball could move even though it wasn't clicked after a reset

Update (22.04.):
- Added a menu when clicking escape with quality settings
- General perfomance optimization

This game is tight. I got the ball stuck in the left wall and it wouldn't reset on level 3 so I had to exit and restart the game. Nevertheless, I really dig it.

This surely is a unique game! Pretty, pieceful. A bit simple, though.

Simple yet good looking and fun puzzle.

I like the art style, and the sound is relaxing.

Good job with the puzzles--I like that, because of the angles of the different piece, you don't always use the piece you'd expect at first glance.

Very cool project with a nice low-poly look. So short though!

Nice entry! I wish there were more levels to it ! Just to let you know, when restarting a level, the ball is sometimes splitting despite it is not triggered. Appart from that, it was fun and I had a good time playing it! Good job ! ;)

I really liked this game. Really relaxing and pretty challenging. It was cool that you have to use the shapes in unconventional ways to win.

I loved this game, it is very similar to my game. A simple and well polished mechanic, 8 levels. I expect to see expanded the idea with more levels ;) Briliant.

This was a lovely little game, though it would have been nice if it were longer as it ended quite abruptly. The mood was lovely and the gameplay was fun however, and I enjoyed playing it.

I completed it on my stream @ 1:15:40 : http://www.hitbox.tv/video/991443

this is a really neat interpretation of the theme, i had a good time trying to figure out the puzzles. i'm also really digging the sort of lowpoly faceted art style you have going on.
