The End Position by Taximan981

[raw]
made by Taximan981 for Ludum Dare 51 (COMPO)

​Everything in the universe is connected, it just needs someone to put it together. You and your unknown accomplice must build the universe from nothing but a drop of water. Your friend will help all they can, but can only provide resources EVERY 10 SECONDS. Drag and Drop to merge items, and reach the end of the universe.

TIP: Make sure you make lots of water at the start just in case.

I liked it, years ago i played the hell out of Alchemy on Android and that was cooler as it had vague story. It was nicely done, the only issue I have is with the theme connection as I feel that the time mechanic while clearly indicated doesn't give anything to the experience. Still, a great game

As previous said, surprisingly addicting and it took a while to complete. Loved it.

A super simple and fun little game idea. I overall liked the game, but I am not sure the 10 second rule was good for this game.

Reminds me of doodle god, interesting idea! Sounds sounded a little weird on my speakers, good entry tho!

Interesting Concept! It was fun figuring out the different combinations! Once thing that it might benefit from is instead of 10 seconds for any resource, each resource gets its own 10 second timer. Having to wait for each of them together felt a little constraining. Otherwise, good job!

I really liked this game, it's relaxing and fun. Congrats! With more polish on the visuals and less repetitive music, it would be amazing, even for mobile. I spent quite a lot of time and only discovered half of the recipes. I agree with others in that the 10 second mechanic feels a little bit "forced" - if you were to pursue and improve on this idea I would recommend you to eliminate the 10 second stuff and maybe rely on other means of getting time/knowledge/power (maybe with devices similar to an RTS). Good job!

Damn. I was hooked! I needed to find them all 😅 The audio was very good, the little music was soothing and the feedback when combining items was perfect!

wow that was great! The chill music and simple UI made it easy to commit like 20 minutes of my to trying to recreate the universe.

Surprising amount of content here! Reminds me of some of those god/element games, but I loved how relaxing this is. Nice job!

Hah lovely concept, had good fun trying to combine things and see what would happen.

The ending was also a pretty nice twist.

Managed to get to the "end" eventually (: Good game, would be nice if there was a system to stay more organised, especially with the warriors making a lot of mess

Nice game, it took a while to get the end position. Good job! What is a metal worm, though?

One of my favorite games! After some try and error made it to the end position.

:D This was a lot of fun! Very simple controls, but still very fun to craft stuff! I love the simple pixel art. The sounds and simple music are great. I think the controls relating to z-indices, where new items spawn, and/or being able to select the actual thing I want that is now underneath the other thing could use a little bit of improvement. I'm impressed by how big and complex your tech tree is!
