Not necessarily, but their destinations were dynamically recalculated based on the direction you entered one and whether the others were blocked in that direction, and that's why you can't simulate their behavior very well here.

Funny story about that actually, I tried to follow the link from a FB post within Tweetdeck, got hit with a login, opened Firefox on TV computer and did a Gewgle surch for Tom 7 Little O, at which point I found this page without any effort.

Cannot wait to listen! In fact, I have completed wait cycle NOW.

Except now I realized that I actually said "Chumbawumba style" in the post, making it not very coincidental.

Or you can get them from the source code :), but those are cropped for looping (as much as is possible in Flash) and untagged.

Thanks, radiant, thanks N7DOT. Thank all of you. I have understood it just after that message. Now, I am thinking to make a really difficult round, but it will be a secret. The mazes are not so interesting, though if you want I can upload them. And maybe we get acquainted. What are you usual names? Dave is David, if I'm not mistaken. And the other? And how old are you?

Can I get an mp3 of the sad VIP room music at the end?

What I'm trying to say is you need to find the ma"key"rena.

One does not 'earn' achievements, one 'unlocks' them.

This was fun. Maybe it's just me, but I get a message from this game - something about the shallowness of the club scene. After all the time you spend learning moves and defeating Elvis in a dance-off, the VIP room turns out to be... empty, with peeling paint, floor spikes, and slow, sad music playing. It's kinda surreal, even Kafkaesque in its lack of finality: I love how you can still wander around even though there's nothing more to do. Also, the dimming music as you walk away from the club is a nice touch.

Thanks guys! I uploaded a new version for the jam that fixes a few cosmetic bugs.

Yes, once you're VIP then you've won. I'd love for that to just be the beginning, but seriously I just squeaked in under the deadline with the content (and bugs) you see there, so I did not get to realize all my dreams. The boss battle is more confusing than I'd like, as well. Imagine how confusing it would have been without the lightbulb screen and his 'embarrassed for you' animation, though? After I did those things, I prioritized other areas of the game that were lacking, and then I just ran out of time.

For screencasting I used a windows app written by a ludum darer, which is called "chronolapse". It was free and very simple and worked as advertised. I actually encoded the full 2560x1600 images as a video and then resampled it with virtualdub (plus added the music there) because the default compression level from chronolapse was too crap for my tastes and there were no settings. If you ever do Ludum Dare I recommend making a timelapse video. Not only is it a fun artifact, but it changed the way I behaved during the contest, like being aware of when I was slacking off (I knew someone would be watching me paging through Facebook or playing Team Fortress or something) or even doing something really boring and repetitive that should be scripted. Good to keep the pressure on!

Also how do you do that screencasty thing where you record your screen.

I was a little bit confused by the dance-off part, which is I suppose appropriate, but I otherwise greatly enjoyed the game!

I like how, when given the choice between the bathroom and the VIP lounge at the beginning of the game, I knew without a doubt which way I was supposed to go.

Out of order indeed! Nice work.

Anyway it is a sweet game tom! Metroid metroid revolution.
