The graphics are as sharp as a razor, and the sound goes along great with the action.
The only word that comes to mind is "transcendental".
Superb!!

Posted - 9/26/2006 6:02:00 AM | Just finished trying out the new version on my computer with a Radeon card, and it seemed to run fine - no blue screen problem anymore! Now I have to figure out what the heck I'm doing playing the game... 
However, there was a crash after the start of Dance 5; not sure why. I haven't yet replayed the game to see if it was repeatable.

One thing I noticed was that during the installation when I changed the path, it still showed C:\Programs ... as the path, although I told it to install on J:\... . It installed the game in the correct path so it wasn't too dramatic. Only a bit confusing.

Stimulus satiation was an intention from the beginning. Yes for the gameplay I planned this and it's a part of the style. In combination with this the option to freeze time makes sense.

Although I think one can play Blumenmacht in many different ways, it's important to change your ballerina often, to catch other ballerinas and erase flowers with them and to freeze time from time to time...

I created this game from scratch. I programmed it and created the graphics and the sound. Please take a look at my Journal here at gamedev.net. There you can find pictures of Blumenmacht while it was in development.
If there is a similiar game, I am very interested to hear about it. I'm just curious.

For one, there was far too much clutter in the game, I had no idea what was going on the entire time I was playing. Also the music got REALLY ****ing annoying. Sorry to have to say this, but games do need to be critiqued.
But as I said, you have devoloped a very good engine that you can put to future use.
