C.M.Y.K - made during Global Game Jam 2012

[SiENcE]

I made this during Global Game Jam 2012, but it's still unfinished.

C.M.Y.K is a multiplayer game where players (Magenta & Cyan) have to bump the puck (yellow circle). The puck colors the screen with the player color. The player who has more pixel drawn in his color wins (pixel counts...see end screen).

Currently I'm polishing this game. Adding a menu, soundfx, music. I also add joypad support for up to 8 players.

Future enhancements:
-different background effects (the grid is a placeholder from a love forum post)
-special Items (like increasing the puck or player circle)
-bumps in the playfield
-neon glow Font

thx to bartbes

Comments are welcome :-) !

The concept is simple and cool, the players and puck have great chosen speeds, and the painting looks cool too, congratulations

Sometimes players are a bit hard to see on their color background, I'd try to improve that.

SIENcE please, I probably screw up on this. This was made "during" or "in" Global Game Jam 2012?

@Ellohir Thanks for your comment . Yes indeed, i should improve the visibility of the players.

"During" just because after i started, my employer called me to come to work :-( . It wasn't playable on deadline. So i haven't uploaded anything.


I need a different name for the game. Any suggestions?

Ah OK that was unfortunate. Thank you for clarify. I then add you to an unofficial branch of Global Jam thread (viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7783).

BTW Nice project. Good to see the very nice "mesh web" re-used.

EDITED. Sorry didn't add it to the poll. Wouldn't be fair to other "official" projects.

Yes, the effect is really nice and it's highlights the puck position. Would be nice to have more such background effects for different levels.

Shure .

Looks very neat! I think the grid is a bit distracting, though.

I was planning on adding a deforming grid like that to my snake game thingy. Nice work. I'll have to peer in and see how you go it to work.

I really like the emergent gameplay from the visibility: if you're winning, it's harder to see yourself, thus balancing the playing field a little. Nice.

It's hard to decide. Maybe i include this on a later level.

Yes indeed. I really appreciate the comments !

As you noticed, i display the resulting playfield at the end. This resulting image is save as highscore. This way the game gets an artistic touch. The resulting image is different every time.

My idea is to place bumpers on the playfield to form an figure when coloring the background. The resulting image is for example a smily.
