Awesome! It would be really cool to implement that, that way the player would want to try and be in smaller areas to score more, good risk reward. though, the math behind it would for sure be tricky. :)
Sadly the complexity behind the AI and other components is extremely simple. But I guess hidden behind the illusion that there is more algorithm then there actually is. While there is plenty of opportunity to have events happen based on so many possible parameters, I used very few of them and oversimplified, and mainly focused making players feel like they didn't quite spend as much time as they would have liked in a given position.
It would seem the game was at least thought provoking! :D The only message I was trying to convey, if any, was that solutions to societies problems can and should be solved peacefully and those who are honestly seeking truth will be willing to discuss the matter, any other messages, assumptions, or characterizations believed to be delivered by me or the game, are your interpretation, which is your right, but could very likely be incorrect, as all game design choices where made with the soul purpose of paying tribute to the music video. I was in no way trying to represent the world as it actually is. The game is hardly even a shallow reflection of reality and should be thought of as nothing more then a (kind of trolling) moral puzzle game made in about a week. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the game, but good thing it was free.
Hey! Thanks for the feedback! You are not wrong at all, great game design eye! However, the chaotic and unpredictable nature of the game is intentional, maybe this was a development choice I'll regret, but I wanted the player to feel frustrated as they tried to achieve an unnecessary goal. As is the message in the music video. :) Maybe one day I'll make a spin-off without that in mind and it will probably be a bit more fun to play. ;)
I do know about that bug, but because other shapes can still get you. I wouldn't recommend it as a main strategy. :) Thanks for the great ideas! I like a diminishing bar much more than an outright timer for sure.
Excellent feedback, and impressive score for your first round! Yeah, I'll have to think of a way to show the score while keeping the feel of the game, maybe between levels it could flash. Thanks! :D
You don't have to click, but I did have the player freeze at one point but based on feedback took away that feature. Sadly this project is going to be a one and done just because I have so little time, but if time permits in the future, I'll definitely add that cause it is a great idea, as well as maybe make it a mobile game. :)
