Disconnection Bridge by matthewrobo
Something about unstable connections and packet loss?
I'm not sure myself. I'm not computer networker.
Make sure you play on Wi-Fi for the authentic packet loss experience.
Press the left side of your keyboard to move the cursor left.
Press the right side of your keyboard to move the cursor right.
Press spacebar to place a block on the cursor. This has a short cooldown.
Make sure you don't drop any ~~lemmings~~ packets.

I rushed this out because Melty Blood: Type Lumina came out this weekend and I really wanted to play that game instead of making this one. I am sorry.

Also, never before in my entire life i saw "left/right side of your keyboard" as a control scheme :smile:
Good job!
Nice work :)
Love the lemmings like mechanics but the controls are weird (it took me a while to understand the keys needed for movement of the cursor).
Nice minimalistic art!
Nice work!
One suggestion I have to help a bit with learning the tricky controls would be to start off with having to only guide one packet, and then gradually ramping up the challenge.
PS: I think extra congrats should be granted due to the fact that you participated in the jam even though you had plans to play a game in the weekend the jam was running. There was a lot of care put into your game and it's cool that you decided to make a game for people to enjoy. Hopefully you got to play what you were waiting for too! :)
Also, over an extremely long period of time that I need to change, the game speeds up to the point where you need to use multiple fingers/keys to keep pace.
@zimny11 That was something I thought about but I had an extremely busy weekend. If I gave myself the full 48 hours that would have probably been in, actually. Top row to move up, bottom row to move down, and home row for horizontal movement.
@masterkrepta Can you send a screenshot?
The difficulty was a bit much but honestly props dude for adding the feature where the triangles jump when there’s no platform below.
If it weren’t for that I think the game would be way too difficult but how it is with that, it’s fun!
I will just say I think the controls are a bit strange, I got used to it but I think the left arrow / right arrow approach would’ve been better.
Ultimately it aspires to be a simple game and fun, and it succeeds in that department, final score was 21, props for finishing the game!
Thanks for the game!
