Maru

Post by Pater Alf »

A fairly short plarform game by Jesse Venbrux. Similar to "Frozzd" as it uses the same gravity mechanics. There is one interesting gameplay element as you have to die from time to time to succeed.

I think I like this as much as (if not more than) Frozzd. Simply have to love the physics, and the fact that you need to die in some levels to finish them simply leans on Jesses other games.
I like the graphical side to it as well, and would love to have had further levels, but at the same time I love that it isn't more complex. A few more challenges would have been perfect though.

If you are wondering about the name, then it has lots of different uses, but I would consider this one to be the right one:
Japanese name for a circle, which is used to mean "correct"; the opposite of batsu. The end-of-sentence fullstop '。' is also called maru. Maru also means zero '0' as in example 201: nii maru ichi
Currently testing Life version 2.9 (With added second child)
(Beta testing in progress)
