Screens:



We were inspired by amazing sitcom "Rick and Morty"! The game is about collapsed time, that Rick's is trying to fix it. A simple game, with one click on the screen, the player can restore the normal flow of time or multiply the number of universes in two. Everything decides a fraction of a second.

Good luck on LD man.
Nice concept!
To me, overall of the game is nice and the concept is cool and innovative.
I don't know where to look with all thes universe ^^
I think the instruction could be a little bit more clear, but still a good game
Good work
Firstly great job using R&M to this theme xD haha loved it!
Although it gets a bit hard... but bottom line good art and all the best :)
Pls feel free to play my game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/split
It wasn't always obvious to me when I did something right and when I did something wrong, though. Trying to think of ways to communicate this to the player in a more clear way could improve the game.
Overall, a fun little Rick & Morty game.
I really loved it, as simple as it is.
Am I supposed to look for a specific image like with "morty at left, no holding bottle" or what?
I love this one! The rick in this game is so cool!
It's definitely that the more you have, the worse it is.
But as a game, it's difficult to show that theme. Maybe you can keep splitting space-time. When the game starts, there is only one world, seconds later,there are eight world and keep increasing. Now the player will know he has to do something.
anyway, i got the trick to combine the universes, so i beat the game quite easily,
the theme clear on this game tho
If you are interested, please check out my LD40 game [Escape Infection!](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/escape-infection)
As for the theme, this game and the quantum uncertainty situation fits it really well! Great connection!
As for the game play, I can't even fix the quantum once because my reaction time is above the switching time when they are all the same. Pity. :)
I still have problems figuring out what to do, though :sweat_smile:. I'm not sure if it's just a matter of patience and quick reflexes or if there's something else I'm missing.
I'll eventually get there, but in the meantime congrats for a very solid entry!
Pluses: it's good visual and music!
Minuses: when it became more then 10 realities game became a lottery. But it completly fits to them... So it's great!)
Points to improve IMO:
* Slow down the speed a bit of the changes of characters
* Music is a bit repetitive
* Rick would NEVER have different poses because Rick is never uncertain :D
Nice idea, though you could have started in an easier fashion. Too much things to take care of right out of the bat!
I liked the idea. Love the show. Cheers.
Difficulty feels a bit weird as it gets harder and harder when you get it wrong. And if you get it right at your first try, super easy to finish.
But it does fit the theme more than most games.
the art rocks !
So why didn't you opt-out graphics? And 340 ratings are like "what?". But I see that the smart balance is negative, so I am making an assumption that admins know about you.
It was a bit confusing at first because it wasn't clear which picture/dimension is supposed to match with what and that I'm not supposed to click the picture if Rick's holding a bottle. Though yeah maybe you left them for the players to figure out themselves.
Second time, I accidentally double clicked in the first second and still won :I
Still, the presentation is superb. The graphics make it look like a "barely within copyright infringement territory" game, and the music is very fitting. I like how it managed to adapt the split-timelines style to perfection.
That's all I've got to say. Possibly nothing that hasn't been said before, but I thought it'd be nice to reinforce some comments :P [In behalf of my team](twitter.com/whalesandgames), we hope to see more from you in the future. Kudos! :whale:
however it will be a shame if the assets are taken elsewhere as mentioned by others
The mechanics are a neat idea. It's pretty easy to solve, but if you screw up on your first match it gets impossible pretty fast. I guess that's the point though, so well done. :)
I had to try several times until I got the "right" or "wrong" and finally I won!!!
Ok... That is also my biggest minus (not clear what to do)... I guess you can life with that.
Even as a fan of the show I "forgott" or had to think about the gameplay. However I love the "split universe" idea also as a game.
The Art is well done and nice. However I'm not sure, if this is to close to the original character? (I have not downvoted because of this... but you might get downvotes here from others?!)
Summary - Very nice game. I sent out the link to friends of mine a minute ago... (Not for "Ludum Dare" but for "nice game" reasons)
Keep on coding!
One suggestion: if you fail from the starting position there is no benefit to getting it right over just resetting (by quickly failing a few more times). I guess it would be better to start from the worst possible situation.
