Exception by entrusC

[raw]
made by entrusC for LD26 (COMPO)
You are the Exception. Try to act normally!

Objective: You have to find the shape that is hidden in the level somewhere (see second screenshot). Now you have to collect all gems (they just look like the ones the shape is composed of) and place them on their correct position on the shape. That's it!
Hint: The people ignore you as long as you behave "normally" - so if you run around on the ways and dont place or pick up things you are fine.

Because of some performance issues I disabled the HTML version for now. Please use the desktop version.

(Java required, download it here if you don't have it installed: http://www.java.com)

I'm a master at walking around, but I don't quite get the goal of the game.

I love how you minimalistically left out the goal of the game ;)
Web version is a bit laggy, but still fun to play (Java version works fine), although I agree that the player should get some kind of hint where to put the collected symbols. Blocking the zombies(?) works.
Nice graphics!

The idea is cool, but the app's performance is terrible.

I like the aesthetic on the buildings, pavements and grass caused by the gridlines and the varying shades. Very nice. Took me a while to notice the red eyes on the bad guys.

Very nice idea, I do like the game : )
The most missing thing is a pause fuction as it needs quite a while to collect all missing tiles.
A bit more music or sounds would've been nice but I think you know that yourself ; )

Nice game. A little durable, but difficult when trying to place blocks while hundreds of zombies attack you. Well done!

Very interesting and wild game. It takes a while to navigate the city, but is worth it to use the block moving ability.

People's eyes turn red and their heads spin around. It freaks me out a little. While playing this game, my only thought was "sweet, I got a triangle... do I win now?"
