Pulse: 48h game -- winner of the Global Game Jam NL 2009 - 02/04/09 13:30
Hi guys! Haven't posted in a long time but I thought I'd share this with you.
Pulse (c) 2009
Last weekend me and some friends competed in the global game jam. The task was to create a game in 48 hours with the theme "as long as we have each other, we'll never run out of problems". We created a rhythmic game where two players work together to create a soundtrack by tapping the pulse key at the right time. The sound wave is visualized and the players have to work together to get it at the right amplitude and wavelength to catch the items in the level. The higher the wavelength, the more full the music becomes.
The teams consists of me and one other programmer (we used pair programming, but please don't look at the code; it's horrible), a concept/2d artist and an animator. Our game won the first prize in the Dutch version of the global game jam.
You can download the game here. If you like the game, please vote for us.

EDIT: I just noticed that the game doesn't work properly on all pcs.. Here at my dad's pc, the particles look bad and only some sounds are played every now and then. I think this is because only a few sounds can be played simultaneously.
