Description NOTE: This is an slightly edited version of the game. It's exactly the same as the original, except it has little ending instead of looping back to the start (Unfortunately it was 15 minutes late!). To play the original, go here: [link]



One Man. One Space Ship. One Higgs Boson particle generator.

Manipulate gravity to explore the limits of your world!

Controls:
ArrowKeys - Move
WASD keys - Change gravity
R - Reset Level


The concept behind the game is that you are in a space ship in the far-distant reaches of space, thousands of light years away from any planet. Compared to the 'massive' amount of space around you, your spaceship is indeed tiny! The ship is named after it's most advanced technology: A Higgs boson generator!


So I made this game for Ludum Dare , which, if you don't know already, is a game making competition where you have 48 hours to make a game for a specific theme. The theme this year was "Tiny World". I tried to think of some game that would fit the concept, without being the same as everyone else (ie not a game where you are a miniature character or anything involving a literal tiny planet). This is my first time entering, and I'm pretty happy with my entry. The theme of

You can also check out the source code here: [link] . I coded the game in Actionscript 3.0, (the programming language in flash). Keep in mind that I programmed this game very quickly which means zero documentation, and quite messy and verbose code.


I'm still working on an 'official' version of this (Featuring a level editor!). Here's the link to my journal about it: [link]

Thanks! I have an app version of this with a few more levels and mechanics. I'll look into releasing once I finish some of my other projects, although it might be awhile before that happens

This is a good game!
it's a simple yet good game
it's short but I understand since level planning is hard...
I'd like to see a much larger scale of this game too!

Nice game, reminds me of VVVVVV!

Jezzamon In reply to Twistedsnail [2012-10-29 09:07:09 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, a few people said that, and things like "good tribute to VVVVVV", but I actually hadn't seen VVVVVV before I made it. XD

Twistedsnail In reply to Jezzamon [2012-10-30 03:55:00 +0000 UTC]

I wouldn't call it a tribute, it stills seems very much your creation, it just bears a certain resemblance.
Did you make the sounds with sfx? Oh and where did you get/what did you make the sounds with?

Jezzamon In reply to Twistedsnail [2012-10-30 07:29:12 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I used cfxr for the sound effects, which is the mac version of sfxr. For the musics I used garageband, with a "magical 8-bit plugin".

I loved it! I showed it to a few of my friends as well and we all agreed it's very well made and definitely interesting.

It takes 9 and a half days... That's understandable, I guess it takes a while to smelt an army of golden statues of your face on them for making such an awesome game.

Lol my game definitely isn't the best though... this one is my favourite at the moment (I've sunken about 5 hours into this game) [link]

Yes, it does have a good theme song, doesn't it? I'm personally not a fan of text based games, but this one grabbed my attention.

Rethy [2012-04-25 01:30:52 +0000 UTC]

It was a fun game, and really impressive as something made in 24 hours by one person.
I'm not sure if it's a glitch, or if I'm the only one experiencing this, but when I open this page the flash is automatically zoomed in slightly. Because of the empty space around each stage it didn't look like anything was off other than the text being mostly off screen.

Hm, that's a weird bug. What browser are you playing it on?

Also I made the game in 48 hours.

YAYYY, that's so cool that the text moves if you get in the way, I found a few bugs though, in on level if any of the falling blocks fall out the of screen you lose the ability to switch gravity. The music goes really well with the game, it's a really good game though good job c:
