Aaron and Alex by Robert

[raw]
made by Robert for LD26 (COMPO)
Two brothers make somewhat snarky comments as you try to solve Alex's puzzles. Aaron could care less. You travel on a rail and try to keep enough walkways while solving puzzles to remove roadblocks.

Voice is hilarious!(Is it kind of troll? lol) Pleasant sound and neat graphics.
But I have no idea about typing. I typed 'build', but nothing happened and bumped.

Ahaha, this is really fun :D Nice polish, love the stair effect you use. Might have been nice if it had gotten increasingly harder rather than just ending though.

I like the game but the capsule should have been something else and you would have nailed the theme and graphics. Voice acting was nice. It's creative feedback but i relay enjoyed it.

Uh...ah...wha?

I think that was good, but I'm not sure. Is good bad? Or is bad bad? The voices confuse me!

Hi, here is some feedback.
What I loved :
- atmosphere (strange world)
- sounds and music
- well introduced
What imo could be improved :
- relation to the theme
- random key combinaison to allow replaying
- the end (it just tells you game over suddently, you could add some "Congratulations" to let the player know he beat the game)

Nice overall, thanks for the game !

I noticed that the pieces left counter doesn't reset when you restart. I assume that's unintentional.

The sound is really great, (it sounds likes Ghinzu...without rock guitar obviously).

PS : there are a little bug loop when you loose at the first word to write.

Thanks for all the great feedback everyone. I fixed the crashing bug where if you run out of walkways and hit a wall it won't let you play anymore. This also fixes the problem of running out of walkways.

Don't forget to hit spacebar to jump. The end of the game is not the "Aaron Alex" typing puzzle. It's after the 8 arrow puzzle after "asynchronous".

The other bugs remain because they fall out of the LD crashfix rule, such as not being able to hear Alex's defense of "oh come on, you got to get into a good company"

Loved the music and voices. Took me a second to figure out exactly how to play (even with the instructions).

Absolutely loved the Timelapse. It's great to get a "behind the scenes" peek and learn about tools that others are using as part of their work. I'll definitely be looking into GameAnalytics and finally putting my free Trello account to use. :)

P.S. My game link had died and you were kind enough to point it out. Thanks! It's since been fixed.

Very interesting game. The part of typing remembers me the game "The Typing of the Dead". Congratz!

Pretty cool. Personally I would prefer a slightly faster, more intense pace to the game, but it's very enjoyable as it is.
The voices are really great!
