2DArray's Random Title

Nice little concept. I had fun just \"black boxing\" my way up to the top of the… wait, there is no top…
Anyways, there was a few little stuff I wanted to clear out.
1. Maybe you already took care of this, but if you didn\’t, here it is: When there are too many black boxes on the board (mind if I call it like that?), like a hundered or so, non of the boxes dissapear, so the game started lagging after a little while.
2. I liked the fact that if you even try to spawn a box in a wall, the box will get pushed out. Nice going!
3. I\’m sure it will seem much different once the art and all will be done, but it felt kinda strange having the guy (crimson box) not really respecting the laws of physics when stacked on other boxes, but still good nonetheless.

I\’m really looking forward to see this completed. If you want, and if the spots are still vacant, I could be one of the \"idle\" artists for the game (backgrounds, walls, etc…). If you don\’t have any spots left, or if you don\’t trust me (for whatsoever reason), you don\’t have to pick me, I\’m not that much a great artist anyway. If you need any demonstrations of my art, you could send me an e-mail at \"ogt2@hotmail.fr\" (yes, that\’s right, I live in France). I\’m also a begginer musician. My music isn\’t that great, but who knows? Anyways, this was a nice little simulation, and I had fun playing it.

Cheers! -Ogt2

(P.S.: I absolutely loved your game \"The Company of Myself\". So saaaad ;_;)

I agree with the use of WASD – if you use the arrow keys, it makes mouse use more difficult. If this isn\’t going to be a mouse heavy game, I suppose it doesn\’t matter as much, but I just remember spewer was WASD-able and that made using the mouse much easier, for me anyway.

One compliment: I like how the character (red box) speeds up as it \"runs\", for example you can leap the semicircle in one bound with a running start, but you cannot jump over it from rest. If you make some stages or levels dependent on the amount of run speed you get, (you could fall short or over-jump and die either way) that could add an element of planning in level completion.

Overall looks good, hope there is a mix of strategy and action challenges. Good Luck.

Very nice, i maged to use boxes to jump over te wall then kept using boxes to jump, Very nice, cant wait to see the final results. It will defiitely be highly rated

you can push yourself out of the stage walls with the boxes and get screwed over. might wanna fix that

great concept, feels smooth

1. boxes can go through walls (im sure that doesnt matter for this one).
2. Make the jump a little higher, seems constricted.
3. spawning boxes while jumping falling is smooth,
4 the Physics of movement feel very real and smooth.
5 add WADS keys as well as arrows for movement.

Great concept

This is Tikikala from Kongregate. Since there isn’t much of a plot or music or sound effect, I go comment on other stuffs. First thing I noticed is the color. I love the shades, colors, and intensity. It looks so chalk-like! I love it! Also, I suppose the desaturating and glooming has to do with game mechanic, otherwise if it is just for fun or trivia, it won’t be fun….
A sequel of Company of Myself and the protagonist is not Jack? Anticipate!

I was kindof shocked when I clicked the screen and a box appeared, but not for a good reason

I remember playing this game (forgot the name of it) on Armor Games; you were this guy searching for his airplane or something and he got through the levels by using a box producing gun; the game had a rating of 5/10 and I did not like it that much…

wait I found it!

for you game, I did not really like how the guy moved; to rigid; not very fast; slow jump speed

agree with wasd; and I got a box stuck in the wall; just do it really far in

I change my mind; movement is fine except falling is a bit slow and movement over hills is too much for my liking (it is just a tiny bump)

Neat concept at the minute, physics engine looks very good and I like the physics on the slopes.

Nice concept. It reminds me of the wizard’s ability from Trine, which is far from a bad thing. The “gloom” is an interesting little effect as well. Not much I can say enginewise, although I agree with a couple of the other comments, stating that the ability to remove boxes would be handy. Also, dunno if the “sketchy” style is a basis for the final artwork, but it does create a nice effect. Not much else to say on the matter, so I’ll just stop here.

i like it, but i ran into 4 problems.
1) to many boxes cause lag & with no way to clear you can get stuck in a room
2) boxes go through walls and other boxes
3) you cant tell what size the next box will be, this is a bit annoying
4) you can fly if you jump and put a box under yourself and then jumping and repeating.
i like your games alot

The guy should look like the same guy from TCoM but green and some levels should have multiple exits and a split storyline. Ex : You go in the door higher than the other door and your partner died in that room, but if you go into the other door he’s still alive but leaves you.

Lovin’ the artwork! Dark as I like it And the atmosphere! Like it the levels with Kathryn make this all the better. Looking promising. The only thing I don’t quite like are the boxes. “In Another Chateau” isn’t all that interesting, but I don’t doubt you! I’m sure you’ll fit everything into place.

I think having 2 different kinds of jumps would be a cool feature. Jump A being a long jump that you need momentum for, and Jump B being a higher jump that you can achieve by standing still.

That custom Flash renderer is pretty sweet. What Flash class did you have to extend to implement your own?

This engine is working marvelously thus far, the inertia and handling both work very well together. In order to use the mouse and move effectively, using wasd was really the only option, maybe the spacebar could be used for another effect?

Depending on the objects you choose to add and use, there’s a lot of potential here, and a lot that can be done. The desaturation is pretty nifty, too. Love the particle effects too, seems like a lot of effort went in there.

Excellent work so far, keep it up!

Beautiful backgrounds. And i look foward to seeing the other interpertations. I only ask that you include text as you did in Jack’s Story

The anti-depressant pills are a genius addition to the game.

What about adding other pills or substances that have other side effects?

Alcohol, Gluttony, Pain Meds, etc…

Keep up the great work!

Using the antidepressant while on the cube was a very interesting part of the game whether or not it was intended. I think it would be a lot better if there was a roof to the level as I lost all the boxes in when i used the antidepressant.

The scrolling screen is different from some of the other game you\’ve made and it works for this one quite well.

Finally the Imaginary Gun I wasn\’t too sure what to use it for in this demo, it looks a great concept but I found that with no goal established in the level I didn\’t use it much.

Like the look of the game, keep up the good work!

Interesting.
I liked how you could ride the blocks upwards in antidepressant mode. I hope you include that as a big part of the game-play.
I did not like the lacking of the gun being automatic. I would have preferred to have been able to hold it down.
The physics look good as does the grain effect.

hmm, interesting…

not that much too offer at the moment, storyline would be nice i guess what i can say are comments on the graphics and controls

looks like a rough sketch of the graphics atm, simple platformer, eh idk, another mysterious and depressant mood, awesome.

more blurring and depth of field would be sweet, maybe a border on the game screen or a fade out kind of border would add the effect of maybe a dream of some sort

once again, its so primitive im not sure what ur going to add and whats going on so theres not much i can suggest

on other thoughts, perhaps you’ve already come up with a pretty good plan for the game, but if there is room for change, idk, ppl saying they didnt expect the sequel of company to be a shooter game, i almost agree, the idea of self duplication was fascinating and i would love to see it again or something related

its all very deep emotionally powerful message; taking philosophy in college right now, just reminds me of the search for truth and what is reality, is it what we perceive it as from experience and what we define? the fact that you can clone yourself from your insanity and loneliness demonstrates an aspect of that very much

I really like the idea of the anti-depressants, but i think your gonna have to explain how the heck random bullets come out of his green body

How do you spawn boxes?? Clicking just fires the gun.

I like the concept of changing, but I think that a little more variety with challenges would be cool, and a nice story would be great too. I like the background and rainy stuf, but I think that you should make the back ground reflect the story, like in a hotel room it looks like a hotel room, etc, also, im assuming that this is simply a test character, and not the actual thing9At least i hope it is) over all it seems like a fun game.
