I like the idea of abstracting away context as a form of aggression\/control. The scaling on the images is a bit weird and the controls are pretty floaty, but I guess that stuff isn't really the point here. Good job!"},{"author_name":"basspenguin","author_uid":"12240","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 2:59am","epoch":1367376840,"text":"Powerful."},{"author_name":"Grouflon","author_uid":"14480","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 2:21am","epoch":1367460960,"text":"Not a bad game, pretty simple to figure out what's going (not obvious at first look with those crazy graphics).

I think some movement\/AI bugs kept it from being really good. Interesting choice above omitting sound. I think it made the resulting "win" conditions more potent. Good job :)"},{"author_name":"KilledByAPixel","author_uid":"2075","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 3:24am","epoch":1367464740,"text":"Really cool concept and interesting interpretation of the theme!"},{"author_name":"zatyka","author_uid":"14357","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 3:26am","epoch":1367464860,"text":"The controls felt a bit off.  I actually enjoyed the graphics... probably because you so often have to figure out what is a good floor, or what is a bad enemy.

I was able to finish three games themed on this idea, with a central \"Stage Select\" hub world presenting a image that shows a context that could be applied to them once they are completed. You simply need to use WASD or the arrow keys to navigate the scenes and eliminate \"enemies\" when necessary.\r\n\r\nI built everything in Unity and used Paint.Net for the graphics. I left sound out intentionally because I wanted the game experience to be abstracted into those final \"Goal\" images.","title":"Context is Everything"}
