Gratz you made it, VW!

Q:

Spoiler

I have the 3 disguise items (eyes-with-moustache, jack, id batch, mop and an item from the desk (can't remember it's name, there's no look-at option in the inv.bar) But how do I wear the disguise?

About the puzzle:

Spoiler

Did you make sure that the sliders end up on the red part?

Spoiler

Yes, but still fail to do a proper toss...

EDIT:
Yeey,

Spoiler

after 42 attempts I made it to the other side

Drat

Spoiler

now I keep falling. I think it's me, sucking at such arcade-ish puzzles. Sorry...

EDIT2:
OK, that only took 7 times

Finished the game, sweet game and: what a beautiful outro. Well done.
And thanx for adding 'On turning ten' to the package

Don't worry about the time zone, as far as I know the deadline isn't that strict.
And if really needed, you can always get in contact with the host and try to get a deadline-extension.
But you're at 98%, seems you're gonna make it, yeey!

This is SO my cup of tea!
Great job!

Good luck on your game, VW. Really hope you can release it within time!

Lovely little game, xBRANEx.

It's somehow impossible for me to

Spoiler

throw the rock to the other side.
Not sure if I have to aim for the pile of rocks or the tree.

Also: after I click the button, the sliders still move a tiny bit.
Not sure yet if that effects the toss or if it's just me sucking at such 'puzzles'.

So I gave up after 20 attempts.

if you like the controls and the style and the feel this is going for.

Yep, controls work fine. I've always liked the top down perspective style, or in your case, the faux-top down perspective style.
Really hope you're going to make a game out of this!


(ah yes, The Adventures of JP & Cosmo... still remember that one)

EDIT:
Probably not that important or already tackled, but:

Nice sprite, VW!

The windows version also comes with default graphics filter set to 'none', resulting in the game being shown in a tiny screen.
'Max Nearest-Neighbour' will do fine.

That looks sweet, Brain!
Hope you manage to release it within given MAGS time.
Good luck!

[v1.5 is up now]

Thanx nihilist, seems I missed a little bug while fixing some yesterday... Fixed now.

Thanx ThreeOhFour & Slasher.
The game didn't came with a score system because I wanted to finish it within given time, and therefor left some ideas out.
But now there's a little and basic score system added. Hope this make the game a little more challenge-able

v1.5 is up now

mind you, I may jump in at the last few seconds to retain my crown

Woot!

Are we expecting anything else? Radiant? Blane?
Y'all have until midnight (BST) on August 31st (about 2-and-a-half days) to stop Arj0n winning by dirty default

Blane & Radiant, need some competition here. Winning by default ain't fun.

Happy BD, Miez and Olle

Very nice demo, BT & team.
Felt like an interactive version of the show

[v1.4]

Then I realized that now you don't get hit by boats at all

Yeh, it's a bit too easy having no challenge at all

Collision was completely broken. Fixed.

v1.4 is up.

[FIXED, v1.3 is up.]

The biggest problem with the mechanics is the collision, which seem to come from the sprites.

The collision of each object (boats/raft) actually comes from a 'marker' sprite, which is a hidden sprite that sticks at the base of the visiual sprite and is less high as the visual sprite.

EDIT:
I looked into this and it turned out the collision was detecting the sprites, not the marker sprites. aaaaarrggg.
Another stupid mistake.

FIXED, v1.3 is up.

EDIT: Any chance of Johnny Castaway making a cameo?

Nope, he's busy dating the mermaid...

Awesome game, very fun, but needs a little more balance to be an actual playable experience I think...

Thank you, Mandle.
And yes your right, the mechanics need some intensive fine-tuning
The problem was I choose to go for quick decisions made because of a deadline.
After all I had time enough to do a better game, but I didn't wanna take the risk
not to be able to finish the game 'properly' within time on forehand by keeping
improving it taking the risk of creating time-consuming bugs...
And somehow that always happen to me.
So toke the safe way. Apologies for the that.

And, just to say it before anyone else does:
"Look behind you: A three-monkeyed boat!!!"

I was so waiting for who was going to say that line...

Thanx.

Yes, for now you only can mute/unmuted the music (hit 'm' key)
