Dots by maryrosecook

made by maryrosecook for LD 40 (COMPO)

Click to move a player dot around around the area. Each time the player dot hits a token, the area is divided and now you have to manage a new area and a new player dot. If a player dot hits a red dot, it's game over.

I love the concept. It's simple, but, rewarding. With the score growing faster with each new split, it makes you have to make an interesting risk/reward decision.

Obviously, the graphics leave a bit to be desired and I didn't hear any audio. I wasn't expecting sound, but, seeing that you have your Audio rating enabled made me wonder if sounds just weren't working for me for some reason. Great work!

Nice Idea. I found that I quickly got overwhelmed by all the splits.

I got 100 billion points :D

(I actually left it running and have 145 billion now... I should really kill it soon, but it feels sad. All those points! :p)

I think there's probably an easy fix for this degeneracy – just occasionally introduce some randomness into ball motion, or do so on bounce, so you can't just keep them going back and forth in a straight line forever.
