ROTATING in June
June 1st, 2012
Games are made almost entirely of cycles – systematic events that happen on a regular basis to form a coherent experience. The familiar repetitions are both comforting, and annoying – especially to anyone who’s died multiple times in a row. Similarly we cycle through a number of themes here at EGP, if last month’s 101 things was any indication.
So we were surprised to see that we hadn’t yet used ROTATING. What a simple theme! Immediately tangible, like an orange in the face, yet so open to interpretation, like a Hollywood blockbuster doomed for a sequel, or the Constitution.
So what do you think gang? Care to try making a ROTATING game this month?
We're a group of indie game developers, running a friendly competition every month. The rules: Make a game based on the month's theme, and don't spend more than 7 days. New games posted at the end of every month.

sounds like a perfect excuse to make cool-looking vector games! I might actually have time to make one for this theme.

How to play:
Move mouse horizontally to rotate the world.
The goal is to get the couple to the small room

Wow, great game, once I realized that you had to decide which way you are going to fling before you reset it. Nice balance of control and unpredictability.

I saw this post too late and I just didn’t have much time to make a lot of interesting levels for it. =(

just in the last minute – my entry is complete. It’s called “Ring of Marbles” and it’s kind of an Asteroids-like shoot-’em-up game with a twist – your “health” is actually a rotating ring of marbles which you need protect not only from the asteroids, but also from your own shots.

(Admittedly, it had more rotating in my initial planning, but I think it still suits the theme)

I have been off in la-la land for the past few months so this is really late and you’ll probably never read this, but thanks for your compliment! :)
