Push ver.0.0.0.0.0.0.1

[hertzcastle]

hi!
this is a little demo of the game im working on at the moment, just wanted to get some feedback from you guys...
the idea is to stop your ring from touching anything spikey(hehe). to do this you use your paddles(up down left right moves them) and the star that shoots out of your ring(w a s d moves that) to PUSH yourself away from danger.
this is a really early demo just to get feedback on the game basics. there's no scoring system yet and you cant die. graphics are about half done for all the objects currently implemented.
so yea....
is it too unfamiliar?
is there anything you'd like to see/improve?
suggestions/feedback/anything welcome, and if you want to add something, just put it into the source code and upload it.
bear in mind that this is my first game ever.
thanks-

You make a zip file that contains everything (with the main.lua in the root), then your rename the .zip so it becomes "push.zip" -> "push.love"

Here's a fixed version:

For some reason, the downloaded file was called “180_0e8406e8e8eeb6e61406b846abd78e29” rather than “push.love”.

@robin: weird, that exact thing happened to me just now when i downloaded jacasco's adv engine. forum glitch?

I absolutely love the look of it! However, I just can't play it. The controls are very, very hard to get used to. I guess it would be easier if you were eased into it.

cheers nevon! yea, i kinda made a mistake by making that the default level!! just realized how hard it must be, i think i can only play it coz i've made it myself !!!
i'll scale down the brutality of the game and post again soon.x

---DOUBLE POST---
kind of want it to be a bit frustrating (coz good games always are), but ive just swapped the controls over so i wouldn't be used to them, and yea, it's insanely hard! next release will be about 10X slower/calmer/happier.x
