Set Them Free
Game Controls:
Click on the polygon to start game.
Stage 1: You can increase and decrease radius based on the circle's color by clicking the polygon.
Stage 2: You click the bottom square to add/subtract sides to the polygon, which will increase or decrease the sides based on the circle color.
Stage 3: Same controls as stage 2, but now the polygon moves side to side.
Stage 4: No controls and you can only watch as the polygon loses sides and size from touching the black shapes. Hopefully you've sufficiently managed the polygon so that you can get a higher score.
An experimental game inspired by Rod Humble's The Marriage about the process of control, guidance, best intentions and then letting go.
If you love them, Set Them Free.
The only input is your left mouse button (or taps on mobile) on certain areas of the game space, at certain times.
My high score is: 159

that's some real damn quality actually, I have no idea why this was so fun, but it was, I just feel like maling the polygon as big as possible is not a good idea, as it will inscrease the number of collisions... But I'm not sure about where exactly luck is involved here, is the color changing randomized ?
Hey thanks man, yeah the duration it stays in each color is random. The location of collision boxes on either side and middle is also random, and number of middle collisions depends on circle size as well. Before when there wasn't those middle collision boxes it was optimal to make it as big as possible, which I think took away from the strategy. But I think still it's a bit better to make it big within reason.
