gravity by Rémi

[raw]
made by Rémi for LD23 (COMPO)
Physics Shooter X Interactive Music


Gameplay : When you kill your ennemies, their bodies fall on your tiny world. If the weight on it is too high, it will begin to fall in the deadly lava! So you have to clean the dead bodies of your ennemies while shooting at them!


Oh you want a story? Red squares hate yellow rectangles : rectangles have x & y, squares only have x! So squares destroyed rectangles' planet! Or nearly... you're the only survivor : fight to protect your tiny world!

I'm impressed, this is a gem. I can't decided what is more brilliant the way the music is created or that the shot down blocks weight you down.

Seriously, amazing! Music is clever, and the simple, yet genious mechanics works well!

Took a little while for the web player to load, but it was definitely worth it.

This is like...like something that's really awesome, that you immediately want more of...that you could just watch except doing it is so much better...

Hmm, I can't think of anything.

Great job. Superlative.

Nice game idea. I love what you did with the audio making the shoots and enemies make the music.

Awesome!. The idea of use musical notes for shoots, the weight of enemy corpses, the graphics... I love your game! XD

Great little game. Basic graphics but they have a good style that makes your game stand out. The concept works well, it would be cool to see it with different game modes etc. A simple game but with a brilliant execution !

Nice concept. Good feel of the theme. Little bit too hard. And I liked graphics so much that added them to my "inspirations" scrapbook.

Sounds are a bit agressive after some time, but management of weight + shooting makes it really fun. Difficulty allows short game sessions which is enjoyable in this kind of "brain stressing" game .
Graphics are simple but pretty, game runs well.
Good job here =)

Thank you everyone for the comments! I didn't have the time to mix and spatialize the sound before the deadline: sorry for your ears!!

I will certainly improve that, add visual feedback (particles effects) and a difficulty progression when I'll have more time! (for an "enhanced" edition after the rating :D)

Very beautiful game! The audio is of course fantastic, and the visuals are very pretty! My best score was 29.

Great game!

Fuu... Great IDEA!!!

I believe it's the funniest game so far!

Maybe a progressive difficulty system, so you can last a bit more? :)

Very good! The graphics and procedural music are definitely the highlight here, and I liked the mechanics idea, although as other have said, it is really a bit too difficult in the beginning. But it's 48 hours man, balancing is a luxury. hahaha
Great job! :)

Really nice, the only thing left to find is a good reason to look at something but the platform, as you can last quite a bit by just focusing on the cleaning without taking too much care of the shooting.
Can be a great idea for an android/ios game !

Great sound and interesting gameplay.
Like other people have said, it is a bit too hard. Maybe it could be cool to introduce powerups to assist the player

Impressive! The gameplay is unexpected, really original. I can easily see this becoming a full game (mobile or not), with some diversity in weapons (like a fuse that explodes in the air and blows the cubes away ^^)... Great job, félicitations ! :)

Loved it! very origional idea, amazing graphics and a interesting filter that makes the graphics look red on one side and blue on the other.
Only thing to improve on would be the difficuly, and progression, as right now I feel it gets really hard from the start.

Very nice entry! I like both the idea and execution very much.

Haha, I like the simplicity, again! I like how you have used weight as a mechanic, and the physics to drive it.

I like to see games that try to add some musicality to their sound effects! Also liking the lighting/effects.

Hah this is awesome! By time I realized the cubes also weigh down your world (didn't read the description) it was ALMOST too late! Perfect. The generative music was very good too. Great use of physics.

This entry is very strong! It fits the theme well and is quite a unique game design. It's also very polished too! It's quite hard, but the short game rounds lead to a 'one more go' feel :D Top entry!

Excellent twist :) Execution is absolutely perfect and everything work just fine!
Some variations in enemy waves would be great, but it could be a later addition!

Good job!

Impressive!

Love the music-game-touch and the idea that you can't just shoot everything on sight. Nice work!

It's hard to know where to begin. I think it's a little masterpiece. I sure as hell want to sink in a lot of time to master it.

The balance of the mechanics is really good, the effect that shooting has on your own death is a genius touch. The feel of the game is completely nailed, it looks fantastic, plays brilliantly, etc. etc.

I don't think I have anything to suggest, except make the game over (when the red blocks touch the ground) a bit more interesting. I think that the little island disappearing is a little disappointing in comparison with how awesome everything else is. Maybe something else could happen to be more in sync with the core ideas. It's not really a flaw, I'm just trying to think of something to contribute to this amazing game.

Congratulations.
