LudumData

the universe, i think by TheInkSkeleton

[raw]
made by TheInkSkeleton for Ludum Dare 45 (JAM)

Create the universe! create a star to win! (you would have had to add sun and earth, but ran out of time)

This is a small little unifinished game made for Ludum Dare 45: Start with nothing. In this game, inspired by Bill Wurtz's "History of the entire world, i guess" you must throw space stuff together so they make even crazier space stuff.

Made in 72 hours for the jam. Intro audio by bill wurtz - "history of the entire world , i guess"

Is there anything you can actually do?
Or is it just the intro?

The concept is kinda cool, just the launching of particles seems to be pretty off most of the time.

The original video is a classic, and very appropriate for the theme. It wasn't made by you though, so I can't really give credit for it. A game based around the concept would be cool, but I was able to launch one particle and then couldn't seem to do anything.

@nisovin Yeah, when I saw the theme, the first thing that came into my mind was the beggining of the video. Also, you mean instantly? Particles respawn every... 15 seconds I think.

I can see where you were going with this (I think we were supposed to create the universe), but the gameplay itself is unpolished and hard to control. Also, most of the time I was unsure on what to do. I kept throwing 'space stuff' together and they collided and turn into something (that disappeared after some time) and then I was stuck.

yeah, sorry about that @NunoRibeiro, i'm still "starting" with Unity in game jams and in general so I still don't know lots of stuff

Even unfinished, this was a neat little thing. Also using Bill Wurtz was pretty nice! Would love to see what you had visioned in its entirety~ Hopefully maybe in the future yeah?

@theinkskeleton Once again, thank you for playing my game. I came here to try yours but unfortunately I'm on MacOS and I don't have a Windows machine. For your future games, please consider making an HTML5 version as well :)

The particles move along different paths from those I gave them. Also, if you mess up connecting the two universes at the beginning, there is nothing you can do after that. This could be a very nice game, and we could learn something about physics too, but there is still too many bugs.

Please post a web or mac build so more people can play and give feedbacks on your game!

Idea is cool, but it has too many issues to be playable.

Your game is interesting. But I'm sad that I can't play the game properly. It is not possible to control the ball after it flies after a drag-and-drop transition.

Not that much to add from other comments.

Most important thing is that you should be proud of making something :)
That's how progress comes in!

Thats a great start with unity ! one thing that is missing is border for particles its really easy to do. Then you make particles bounce that will add some randomness and fun.

You were on the right track! I give a 5.0 on theme since it's a true start-with-nothing game.

I agree with the rest of the comments about some issues this may have, but overall I loved the voice and sounds and how you worked the theme is simply amazing. I think you can be proud :) nice job!
