Sorry 'bout that.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks for playing."},{"author_name":"Pacifist Games","author_uid":"10510","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 6:20am","epoch":1335161700,"text":"I liked the music and gameplay mechanic, but I quit when I got to the room with a ton of shooting enemies in it, just too hard for me.  Overall a really solid game, great job!"},{"author_name":"Seasons","author_uid":"11463","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 6:38am","epoch":1335162780,"text":"Thanks for giving it a try! That is actually the last room before the ending. Try taking out the the enemies that pull you in towards them first thing, then concentrate on the enemies that shoot."},{"author_name":"Shackhal","author_uid":"10863","time":"Apr 23, 2012 @ 11:23pm","epoch":1335223080,"text":"I beat your game. I fits with the theme. Nice &quot;singularity&quot; xD"},{"author_name":"Permanent7","author_uid":"7197","time":"Apr 24, 2012 @ 10:50pm","epoch":1335307500,"text":"Really interesting sort of level up mechanic (the shrinking). Pretty fun. The fact that you can't shoot and move made things really interesting. Nice choice there I think. Graphics were actually pretty well done. Audio was nice aswell. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think it would have been cool if you would have done the shrinking a bit differently. More of a metroidvania style I think would have cooler."},{"author_name":"Moth","author_uid":"811","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 2:54am","epoch":1335408540,"text":"Very complete! I enjoyed the narrative and the writing style although I didn't quite understand what exactly happened at the very ending... it was still awesome though.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Graphics, music and sound were good- I really appreciate the friction in the player's actions! Very pretty pixel art and design. The chunky aural feedback from shooting a monster, the satisfying way right click draws in a monster and then the camera shake- it's all very lovingly crafted and it shows. The lofi sound effects synergize very well with the crunchy gameplay. It's always a pleasure to see such energetic friction in a game!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Can't wait to see more from you! :)"},{"author_name":"Mach60KAS","author_uid":"5788","time":"Apr 28, 2012 @ 4:30pm","epoch":1335630300,"text":"I really enjoyed this game, the story seemed intriguing and the game was fun to play too! I thought the music set the tone nicely and the graphics were nice and simple - my only gripe is that I felt the difficulty ramp in the second world was massive as compared to the first. Still, keep up the good work!"},{"author_name":"Seasons","author_uid":"11463","time":"Apr 28, 2012 @ 7:59pm","epoch":1335642840,"text":"Thanks for the kind words and feedback guys. Every bit helps."},{"author_name":"Cake&amp;Code","author_uid":"10976","time":"Apr 28, 2012 @ 11:37pm","epoch":1335655920,"text":"At first I thought I had 0 health because it was just a string of 'o's but after getting hit a few times it became clear those were circles indicating hits you can take! Maybe they could look more like lives.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>In any case, it was a fun game about securing tenure. Gameplay was solid if a bit repetitive, and the enemies had some interesting variation! Risking the absorption of energy and the possibility of merely bringing them closer to you when they recovered was a really cool mechanic. Nicely done!"},{"author_name":"xillix","author_uid":"10866","time":"Apr 28, 2012 @ 11:53pm","epoch":1335656880,"text":"Awesome game! The only thing I would change is the health indicator."},{"author_name":"ehtd","author_uid":"11246","time":"Apr 29, 2012 @ 3:22pm","epoch":1335712620,"text":"Liked the game, I played on a mac with the touchpad, it is hard to use the right click to collect the energy."},{"author_name":"SidetrackGames","author_uid":"12036","time":"May 5, 2012 @ 1:14am","epoch":1336180140,"text":"Some cool mechanics, and nice audio!"},{"author_name":"DDRKirby(ISQ)","author_uid":"7285","time":"May 11, 2012 @ 12:35pm","epoch":1336739400,"text":"Not bad ^^;"}],"images":["ld23\/11463-73c97e5467c61f4ec14c1225a57163be.jpg","ld23\/11463-91e9b06a2ce89c9c65bbe8725c09db14.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/74132074\/Singularity.rar","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/74132074\/Singularity%20Source%20by%20Todd%20Luke.gm81","text":"Source"},{"url":"http:\/\/youtu.be\/IgmkKPL2HXk","text":"YouTube"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"31250","g_author":"11463","g_event":"LD23","g_eventkey":"10","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"31280","g_title":"Singularity","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"91","g_commentcount":"13","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/123793\/11463-shot0.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/123793\/11463-shot1.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"You play as a University Professor, desperate to save his tenure, who has volunteered himself for an expedition at subatomic size to find \"The Singularity\": the dna of the universe.
