Great game, I love it !
Glad you’re enjoying it.
(L, thanks, mjau, yep, deleting the comments because
1: they’re a bitttt spoilery
2: you had your concerns dealt with).
This puzzle game is excellent. I hope it sells a million copies
Yeah, I’m so sorry about that. Should’ve known better.
Love the game.
Nah it’s fine, mjau :) Just didn’t want to leave the comment hanging around once your issues had been answered.
Increpare, this game is increpedible!
Thanks, man
One of the finest puzzle games I’ve ever played. definitely top 3.
Doing Adv. Cutting on an iPhone is murder for the eyes though.
Any chance of an android port one day?
Jimntonic, it might happen, but I don’t have any plans for it right now.
Berbank, thanks. Mmm, I might have a look into trying to zoom them in a bit more if I can whenever I do my first patch.
I get a blank screen after quitting the game. Then I have to reset my computer.
Game options:
Screen: 1440×900
Graphics quality: Fantastic
Square speed: Slow
Computer Specification:
Intel i5
ATI Radeon HD 5750 (latest driver)
4G Corsair RAM
Downloaded the MAC version today. It crashes when I enter the first puzzle of the first world. I’ve tried ‘fantastic’ and ‘good’ levels of graphic, but I don’t think my computer normally has problems handling heavy graphics
Woah two crash reports, both coming at once. Excellent. Sent both of you guys mails. Hope we can figure these out.
I figured out the problem. It was my annoying Antivirus Comodo
I suffered the same as Mr. Blume on my G4 ibook even with ‘fastest’ level.
Ditto on MAC demo version crash (first puzzle of first world). After I maneuver towards the first square and press enter, the screen zooms in on the square and freezes.
Mac OS X 10.4.11 , 1.33 GHz Ppc G4
I’m looking into the Mac crash. I may get in touch soon with a test build….
Brilliant game! Works smoothly on Linux with wine-1.3.28 and Nvidia GF 9800 GX+.
I hope for the native Linux release though =)
Trefmanic – you and me both :) I’m using the http://www.unity3d.com engine, so I have to wait for them to support it before I can do anything.
And : thanks :)
Stephen Lavelle, how did you created the music for “English Country Tune”?
Sorry for the mistake.
created -> create
Is there more than one solution per level?
Augusto, I used a combination of a midi keyboard, some custom midi-generation code, Absynth, Garageband, and Reason. Some other things as well, but that’s most of it.
“Is there more than one solution per level?”
Why do you ask this?
I could feel my mind being reprogrammed while playing this – seriously a puzzle game like no other. Great job and thanks Stephen!
Thanks for the support and for the answer
I’m asking if there is more than one solution per level to find the other solutions after I have passed the level
Two more question, I will not bother you more
Is there any chance to have the soundtrack released?
And about a level editor, will you create one?
“Is there any chance to have the soundtrack released?”
Not really. The music is part of the game.
“And about a level editor, will you create one?”
I have one already for my own use, and it’s pretty nice, but … making a level editor available for other people would involve a *lot* of work. No immediate plans.
“I’m asking if there is more than one solution per level to find the other solutions after I have passed the level”
Okay. I’m not going to answer the question.
wonderful game. One of the best I’ve played this year for sure.
I’d love to see a level editor too, there are some really intelligent concepts here and I’d really like to see them explored even further.
I’m going to concur with Berbank, too, the ios screen makes things pretty tiny.
Is there a button to make the camera stop moving around while I move around? I’m getting really dizzy doing the second level of Adv. Whale.
Bryce, there’s no way to do that, no. Sorry that it’s not pleasant for you. :(
So, I’ve been playing your games for months, and I have to say, this one makes me squee with joy. It’s really good Stephen, you’ve outdone yourself again =3 And… back to redownloading all yuor other games after an unfortunate hard drive failure >.>
On the iPad. The adv whale puzzle that looks like a pyramid is kinda B.S. You can’t see what you are doing and nor can you move the whale at all from what I can tell.
Nevermind, figured it out
half-sided is so evil
Awesome, awesome game. I’ve been evangelizing it heavily to my friends and family, with some successful purchases as a result!
Some of these are brutal, but they’re always fair. You’re one of the best puzzle designers I’ve come across.
Thanks :)
Hello,
I just finished playing this game, and it’s been a delightful, mindbending experience. Though i want some more now ! are you planning something like an extension or dlc of some sort, or a sequel ? or maybe a level editor of some sort ?
I am *thoroughly* enjoying it! Fantastic work, very impressive.
Thanks so much for a wonderful few hours of head scratching greatness! I loved every minute of it (especially the “Lesson” level). I accidentally saved half-sided to the end, because I couldn’t figure out how to even play the first level in the set, but I got it after beating the last sets.
Aside from that frustration, I couldn’t be more happy with the game.
Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Hope you make much cash. Me, I’m scratching my head at the first level of advanced whale, saying “say what” and such.
Ok, I’m trying to figure out wtf are you supposed to do in half sided. Ive completed all puzzles in all levels previous to this one and now I am stopped.
On a good note: at least it led me to here, where I find there are a number of further intricacies to explore. ;)
You’ll figure it out.
I’ve done as Paul did. Half-sided was kept for the end. I still cannot pass the first level, [CENSORED BY INCREPARE]
You’re wondering if you can have a hint or a spoiler? Not here, you can’t.
Nick, you figured out the 2nd advanced whale puzzle 32 minutes after you called it B.S.? I’m still stuck. :( UGGHH, this game is challenging! But I really like it so far.
increpare edit : no spoilers allowed here.
If somebody told me they were making a 3-D sokoban I’d just roll my eyes. This is not at all what I would expect. Incredibly fun game.
Hi, Stephen! and a million thankyou’s for this amazing game, such a refreshing experience! The design, the sound, the menu, everything is just wow, larvae camouflage system especially. I was initially going to ask for a hint on a specific level in W&L but hey ))
Great game! The puzzle mechanics are perfect! I would have enjoyed the “organic” feel that you generate with the atmosphere effects and music to have been also carried into the puzzle visuals. Strange to be diving into this microscopic biological world but then suddenly have a retro/q-bert puzzle look.
I think the English Country Tune puzzles are more original than Braid. However Blow’s game are far more financially successful than Lavelle’s game.
I feel a bit sad about it.
Anyway, you have my vote for igf audience award, English Country Tune
Crap! I lost my save!
:(
My fault, or your fault?
My fault.
Recently bought it.
Normally I hate puzzle games.
However I simply LOVE this game.
Thank you for making it. :)
Fantastic game, congratulations. I find he mechanics amazing and surprising. Quite difficult and I like that. Also like the Rez touch :)
Just a question, how long did it take to design all the puzzles ?
Great game !!
“Just a question, how long did it take to design all the puzzles ?”
I don’t know. The whole game took 8 months.
