Comments on: Best of Global Game Jam 09: Part 6 http://independently-speaking.com/2009/02/02/best-of-global-game-jam-09-part-6/ I Play Games and Write Stuff Wed, 23 May 2012 08:09:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Loz http://independently-speaking.com/2009/02/02/best-of-global-game-jam-09-part-6/#comment-147 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 12:16:40 +0000 http://independentlyspeaking.wordpress.com/?p=612#comment-147 Good list – though there are loads more games being added every day.

Here in Copenhagen we only got our upload passwords at the end of last week, and i’ve seen some good looking games from other countries added since then. Maybe you could consider doing a best of the rest list – we were told that the deadline for submitting was Sunday 8th, so the list should be pretty complete by then :)

It was a great weekend – a really cool experience that i’d recommend to anyone with any design/programming abilities and a love of games (and a body capable of withstanding constant caffiene intake and no sleep for 2 days straight).

And here comes the cheap plug – if you fancy then here’s our game (we won the audience award for best audio :D ). Think siamese-pacman mated with geometry wars. Or sumin’. Hope you find it fun.

Look forward to reading more at your “new home”. :-)

Regarding Brown Cloud – if you’d like to read about it & the other entries from Perth Australia, I’ve put up an interview, photos & screenshots here:

Hopefully we’ll get around to making the music interactive too soon, which was the original plan – and then it’s not just about painting but also composing the harmony of the universe! Obviously, that was too ambitious for 48hrs ;-) )))

Obviously put together by complete stoners. Very mesmeric use of balls, squids and crabs.

http://globalgamejam.org/games/itchy

In the game, we find ourselves a bug trying to survive on the skin of a reptile-like giant (relative to the bug of course). The problem is, the bug needs to run and eat the foods on the skin, but this makes the beast itchy, and he scratches the itchy places on his skin. We, the bug, cannot see his entire body, but we try to predict and escape his scratches by interpreting the noises he makes. The skin is clustered into irregular cells and regenerated every time, so we cannot memorize the map.

I did manage to suck in the green clouds, but quite by accident, and I had no idea how I had done it – this definitely clears things up for me! Thanks for the tip, and I’m glad you enjoyed my rundowns :)

But seriously… thanks for reviewing our game. Were you aware that there are five layers of cloud (white, red, blue, green and brown) and that you can travel between the layers with the q and e keys, or the mousewheel, or the shoulder buttons if you’re using a 360 controller?

Thanks again, and enjoyed reading all your mini-reviews. Ciao!
