Spaff Posted November 15, 2007 Don't have time to see if this is old news as i'm jsut leaving work, but check this out, and apologies if it is FROM THE PAST! http://www.kloonigames.com/crayon/ It's... like.. line rider meets that weird pac man game on DS, and er other crazy shit :tup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sphaloman Posted November 15, 2007 That looks pretty cool, it looks like that DS feature with the pen touch screen and all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted November 15, 2007 This is pretty cool. I played the earlier prototype, and the biggest thing I immediately missed was drawing any shape but looks like the final game will allow you to do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cigol Posted November 15, 2007 I dreamed of one day making this game, glad to see someone got there before me It's actually quite good but the concept should be extended beyond simple move the ball mechanics to be truly enjoyable. I'd never played 'line rider' before either but that's a genuinely fun freebie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LOPcagney Posted November 15, 2007 Wow. I love it. If only it had a sandbox mode. I'm sure the final one will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick Posted November 16, 2007 Haha, that was indeed awesome. I like the music also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nappi Posted November 16, 2007 That is one of the most brilliant things I have seen in a while. And I have no idea why exactly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted November 16, 2007 wow... this is awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted November 17, 2007 If you like that, you may also like indie title Chalk for the PC (which, interestingly, was released just before Crayon Physics earlier this year). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOPcagney Posted November 27, 2007 I admit, I'm shamelessly leeching off this thread because I don't think my question merits a thread of it's own, but I'm driving myself mad trying to remember the name of a game I saw announced a while back. I think it was from a non-English game company, perhaps French, and, as far as I could tell from the trailer, it was this artsy game that took place inside this sort of clockwork musical world. Your character wore a gramophone on his back I believe and you used sound to manipulate the world around you. It looked great and it sounded like an interesting take on music in games in general. Does this sound familiar to anyone else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vimes Posted November 27, 2007 There was also an amateur game called Sonate, which was in the same trend. Not as good looking though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erkki Posted January 12, 2009 So, the game is out and a new demo too: http://www.crayonphysics.com/ It's improved a lot. Levels are placed on islands in a World of Goo-esque way, and you progress similarly as well. What's cool is that you can draw on the islands -- no physics there, but I think that's pretty cool. However, the gameplay is kind of boring to me, I'm not sure if I'll buy the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toblix Posted January 12, 2009 I bought it, but quickly gave up. Not because it became too hard, but because it was just fucking boring. Of course, I don't regret buying it since it's an awesome indie thing or whatever, but I can wholeheartedly disrecomment it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SignorSuperdouche Posted January 12, 2009 Is it the concept itself you find boring or is it just the execution? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gdf Posted January 12, 2009 I would have bought this, but I grudge spending more than £10 on a physics playset. Oh wait, already I spent £25 on Crysis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted January 12, 2009 Is it the concept itself you find boring or is it just the execution? The concept is interesting... for the first five minutes. I don't know if its the execution or maybe one couldn't make this game great without changing it into something entirely different. As it is, all the solutions are just too similar. I'd pay 5$ or a bit more though, but not 20$. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wurtsi Posted January 12, 2009 Never mind, I found it. Metronome I like how the people in the comment section are like already judging it based on some 30 second teaser. "its not a must buy but its ok". Seriously though that game looks to have a lot potential. I had never even heard of it before, does anyone have anything more recent about it. Do we even know if it's even coming out anymore? On a less off-topic note Crayon Physics is cool. I bought it and played through most of it already. I don't really think it was worth the whole 20$ I paid for it, more like around 5-10$ would have been better, but I guess that's subjective. I would have probably gotten a lot more out of it if I was really into the creating my own levels thing, but I'm not so, yea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was hoping for something more like World of Goo, where the concept is simple, but they mix it up in awesome ways. Crayon Physics is just bland looking and similar all the way through (for as far as I've played it). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
