Infinity Access by Hyoga-3D

[raw]
made by Hyoga-3D for LD35 (JAM)
//// ENGLISH
Controls:
To Protest - Mouse click on top
To Surf - Mouse click on the bottom
Instructions:
Bottom part - Here you surf on the web, collect the internet stuff to gain points.
Top part - Here you protest against internet limits and grow your GB's ball, Yellow and Red guys help on the protest, Blue guys disturb the protest.

Engine: Unity 5
Team: Solo
Nationality: Brazil

The story of this game came based on current events in Brazil, where companies want to worsen internet services.
This game was created with mobile platform in mind.
In this game you shapeshift from being a surfer and a protester, this is the way I used the theme. Being a surfer, you surf on the internet spending your limited bandwidth doing lots of things of the web and then for you don't run out of internet, you go to the streets for a manifestation and become a protester in favor of an unlimited internet.

If you can, leave a comment, it would be very nice :)

I can't really tell what the point of this game is. I just lost GB when rolling around as a circle.

Cool use of the theme. Very innovative, but not fun. I love that vector style. Please opt out of humor if there aren't any jokes in the game.

It could definitely use some instructions! I wasn't sure if I was supposed to keep pushing the ball, couldn't tell I was running out of energy, didn't know what the little "Fight" figures meant.

The vector graphics were awesome though, and the music was really well synced with it. Love the whole "internet surfer" feel!

Liked the music but I can't rate it it seems... Hard to understand what's going on without any kind of instructions on how to play.

This game needs a proper tutorial (ingame or written) sooo badly. I have no clue what to do.

I really liked the polish of the game and the music, although I recognized it from Youtube :)
Interesting idea for a game that might need some more mechanics to be a real hit.

Took me a while to figure out what I was doing, but then it became quite a fun game! Satisfying, if a bit confusing.

Ok it looks great, it looks crazy. But i don't get it. I know the point, but I don't know how to make it xD I only know that i'm doin "something". But it's funny, and i like your music. Maybe try to explain it so we can have more fun with your game :) Please keep it up

not sure what was the goal here but limited / unlimited web seems like an interesting concept!

18. Apr 2016 · 19:56 UTC
I don't really understand what's going on, but I like the fact that there are two games in one. Like six flags-more games, more fun.

I wasn't quite sure what the goal was, or why I was dying. a bar showing the amount of energy i have would be nice.

The game looks good, but I'm not sure what I should be doing and why I die. I think a tutorial would be nice

Onward, free internet! Kind of a greenpeace vibe to it, it's fun to try to take down the red and diabolical regulation.

We just played it on our channel and showed it to our fans too!

Cons: Hard to understand what to do
Pros: innovative, cool minimalistic art, nice idea en clever usage of the theme

Overall, is a good game

Neat idea, although the mechanics felt a little bit poorly explained. A clearer tutorial at the start of the game would really help a lot.

I'm missing something very crucial. Is there any strategy beyond clicking the top when you need more GB?

Graphics were well done, interesting concept. An indicator for amount of energy would be nice.
PickledBrain
19. Apr 2016 · 02:40 UTC
It's good that it tells me what I did wrong but I'm not really sure where my energy is. I don't get the top part. I understand the lower part and totally Agree :D

Good game. I just agree with a lack of directions about how the game mechanics work. I kept dying without knowing why.

About the context, as a fellow brazilian, I think this game should be shared everywhere to raise awareness. I suggest posting it on the "Free Internet Movement" page - but I think you already did this.

The context, for those outside Brazil, is this: the ISPs wants to put a monthly download limit on home connexion. When you reach this limit, your bandwidth will be drastically lowered or even cut off until next month. And they're willing to offer 130GB on the most abusive expensive option. All this with the approval of the regulation agencies.

This is why we're so pissed off.

nice graphics/style, I actually think the concept of a split-screen clicker's pretty interesting. you should add a short explanation/tutorial though! :)

I can't say it's a game, but it is a very important social app. As I understood - if I want to use internet, you have to defend you rights. I think apps like this can change something or at least make people think

Interesting concept! It took me some experimenting to understand how the game works. 1. Use up your GB without using too much 2. If you risk losing because an object is ahead that wants more GB than you have go protetst 3. When protesting spam left click, I guess don't walk to the blue guys 4. Before it gets dark/night stop protesting and start using internet again 5 rinse and repeat

Knowing how the game works it is actually quite hectic and makes fun. Without knowing exactly how to play it was just confusing.

I'd like to imagine an mmo version of this game where you need to divide raiders into protest and internet use groups :)

Generally a fun game even if I wasn't quite sure what was going on, how to properly play etc. Yet it is a very well made game. Nice work!!

19. Apr 2016 · 09:27 UTC
I liked the graphics. It was a nice looking game. But, honestly - I had no idea what I was doing or why. Some in-game tutorial that explained things would have really helped. Nice effort though, and like I said - I did like the graphics.

Good game. And very tricky. If I can see energy clearer. Shift of mind is shapeshifting also. Good use of theme

I really like the graphics, I actually did think it was a little funny, all the guys rocking up with "FIGHT" written on them. Maybe it could use a little work in general but I enjoyed it for what it is.

i liked the basic idea of the game but the gameplay didnt applied to me, one time i was killed by protesting but i didnt understood why this happened

I agree with most people - there should be a tutorial (also put quotes on "Jaunty Gumption" in music credits, it looks weird that one song name has them and other does not :P )

Very cool background strory of the game and i liked that you use them to make a game. However, it a bit hard to understand the game itself.
SojaBird
19. Apr 2016 · 23:06 UTC
First of, wow it has localization :D Nice!

I am not sure what the message behind this might be but I found the game pretty funny :p
It's a balancing act between protest for more internet and spending internet to gain energy for more protest? :p
Never ending loop I guess :p Can you reach infinity? Lol Deep stuff :D good job!
Syldarion
19. Apr 2016 · 23:19 UTC
This was a really simple concept, and it was really well done! I think it should have been made more obvious that you had to play both sides though. Failed twice before I realized I could switch back and forth.

19. Apr 2016 · 23:51 UTC
Interesting concept. I didn't get that you were supposed to protest to gain GBs until I read the description. It's also tough to see the GB size of the circles when you're rolling so fast with so many circles attached, especially since the size of the circles doesn't really correspond to their GB size. I do like the premise though, pretty funny.

19. Apr 2016 · 23:54 UTC
I liked the art and the craziness.
I don't think I saw an energy meter (played WebGL version) so I was protesting the hell of the government and then I died :(
Cool entry!

PS. Yeah... F*** our ISPs and ANATEL! Greetings from Brazil. :)

Overall, very innovative game that is also easy on the eyes :) Hard to figure out how the game works. More specific instructions would be helpful (it's mainly a tapping or fast-clicking game). Once I figured it out, it was quite fun.

Interesting idea to use a game to protest. Well played.

20. Apr 2016 · 05:43 UTC
My only criticism is that the game's mechanics aren't presented very clearly. For example, it would probably be better to represent your energy as a number or mention that it was linked to the brightness.

Otherwise, it's a really well-made game, considering the message. The separation between the top and bottom works to convey the game's message really well!

Good concept, maybe an energy bar is necessary.

As others have said, it's pretty hard to figure out what to do or even what's happening, who we are supposed to fight, what to do with the GBs... The art style is nice, but the gameplay definitely needs to be made clearer for the player.

Definitely one of the more memorable games. Unfortunately, the gameplay part seems a bit unbalanced. If the goal is to collect GBs, then that is easily accomplished by rolling the ball until you run out of GBs, then spamming the upper screen with mouse clicks until the ball is full. Repeat for infinite GBs.

Maybe more of a challenge would have been nice, as otherwise the game is visually very appealing and your choice of music is spot on. Very nice entry!

Pretty fun :) I didn't get it the first time I played it, but as I started with a clicking rampage I got the gameplay mechanics. Interesting use of the theme. The music was fitting. I could suggest to put in a better help to hook up the player faster and use some voices for the people to get more immersed. Good job :)
