Negative Space
Puzzle/platformer

Entry to PD Rom's Coding Comp. #3.99 (entrants were limited to 4 colors on screen at any time). Download and game description below.

QUOTE said:
Negative Space is a homebrew puzzle/platform game for the NDS, based on the concept of negative space.

The whole game contains only two colors: black and white. The player controls two 'blob' characters: the white blob moves in the black space, and the black blob in the white space. That's why, empty space for one blob represents solid ground and walls for the other.

The aim of the game is for each blob to capture its corresponding flag. In order to do so, the player can draw directly on the touch screen in black or white and thus modify the levels and create new paths and platforms. But keep in mind that a new path for one blob means new walls for the other!

limited to 4 colors? what moron came up with a rule like that?

Anyway, this does look promising. Will give it a try.

the color limitation is a tradition, check Alex The Aligator 4 to see how great some people use 4 colors. (if not all GB library)

To try and foster some creativity instead of provoking an onslaught of DS Motion-supporting snake clones?

This game is absolutely awesome. And yes, the 4 colors thing is a great idea. I find it way more possible to be creative when being so limited. This "Level ?" stage though...says "This level is possible. This is not the end", got a 0x0 draw ability, and they're just stuck there. I have no idea how to do this stage.

I also explored "Level ?" to no avail

.TakaM · Mar 19, 2008

this is really awesome, but jesus christ you're allocated the bare minimum amount of.. ink to complete levels.

I'm on level 4 and I've been trying over and over to get my line perfect..

looks pretty good compared to others-creative-is more homebrew being developed and updated cause its spring break?

Hyperlisk_ · Mar 19, 2008

Hahaha, level 8 made me laugh.

CYatta · Mar 19, 2008

"Level ?" must be a joke... or really deep. Or something. I turned it off earlier, so had to go through the first 12 stages again, but I wanna know if there really is a way to get through it. arrg

Hyperlisk_ · Mar 19, 2008

Well I found a glitch. Try rapidly tapping jump and alternating the shoulder buttons.

To "understand" level ?, just rotate the DS ~45° counter-clockwise, and...

CYatta · Mar 19, 2008

I know I tried rotating it and looking at it... I guess I didn't look hard enough. Lessee

Edit: -45°, yeah. lol

cosmiccow · Mar 19, 2008

that game has potential! it's very hard.. but with some thought put into more levels, it could be even better. but its great as it is too

I believe this is the last level anyway, because the black blob's flag is black, and since one cant see it it has to be in an black area, where the black blob can'g go. Right? Same goes for the white blob.

Ok, something just isn't clicking I guess..

I'm looking at level ? rotated 135 degrees counter clockwise and I can see the numbers...
well, I can see 5 at the top.. then I guess 3, 7.. 9 and 6?
so what am I supposed to do? already tried yelling them at my DS, but I doubt anyone's made a homebrew game that can recognize specific sounds like that..

That's so not the answer. It's a really nice optical illusion
