Lights by corrigan_sam

[raw]
made by corrigan_sam for LD26 (COMPO)
The aim of the game is to keep the lights off, do not let all three turn on!
Click the light to turn it off when it comes on!

I hope you enjoy my little addicting game!

*I have fixed the typo in the death screen and the bug where you could die randomly!!*

I like the game, but sometimes I seem to lose at random

Nice little game, I think you can't make it more minimalist ;)

Yeah, I think I may have been randomly losing too. Or maybe I just can't perceive when the light is on or off.

Also, the game over message is a little odd: "You let MORE THAN 3 lights turn on"? Shouldn't that say "ALL 3"?

Decent game, although like everyone else you can lose at random. Very minimalistic.

Maybe a better feedback on the lighted state should improve the overall experience. Very minimalist with somethig quite strange, like participating to a psychocognitive experience. Thank you

Very minimalistic. Easy at first but gets a bit hard later. You could map the button to some keys and maybe add more squares while yo progress.

The only word to describe this is minimalist, good job!

Well i wanted to keep this game as minimal as possible. It started with a hard mode, however it didn't really fit with the game, so i scrapped it. If i was continuing this game i would add buttons as well as mouse, as it would probably make it more of a casual game! Thanks for playing!!

Very minimalistic. It seems all three can be lit in one frame, so it's an insta-kill, which happened to my twice within the first 10 clicks, and then on 64th. I didn't notice the speed picking up either, which would have been cool, along with steadier lights :P

Yea, There are a few issues, but i am happy with how it came out. I wanted to keep the game as close to them theme as possible. I also wanted to keep it very casual and peaceful, so i decided against a steady increase in difficulty :D

Very minimal gameplay. A difficulty ramp would be nice.

I like how as simple as it is it still manages to get really frantic and tense. Good job!

Well, you sure fully embraced the theme like no other games I've seen on this compo, yet. Kudos to you for that :)
You could have mapped the 3 colors to some keys, and take the difficulty up a couple notches.

Congratulations! :)

I kept missing the buttons, clicking outside the window. You might want to extend the edges of the program, so if a player overshoots the button while moving the mouse, they still click inside the program. I played up until I had 100 pointsusing a tablet, worked a lot better than with a mouse.

Cool idea, I encountered a bug at the beginning where I lost twice in a row. It worked the third time and I got a score of 66. My only complaint is that it was a bit slow, I expected to go faster. Good luck ;).

Really minimalistic... but have you ever considered... adding more colors? (also random losing bug)

Cool idea! There is not enough contrast when a color is lit up. Maybe make the colors go from darker (or even black) to the full color, rather making it more white.
