Twist your brain into unlikely shapes as you dare to engage the Mind Wall in battle. Will you be the first to work your way through its labyrinth of pain, and at what price, your SANITY?!
Yes, this is my Ludum Dare 48 hour game entry: Mind Wall!
No two games are alike in this easy to learn and strangely harmonious and gripping experience.

Great game. I would be kind of nice to see a solution after failing, because especially in the last level I wasn’t able to find them fast enough. And other times I found them straight off.
I really enjoyed this. I got stuck on the last level for a little while which led to my girlfriend recording this:

cool but too easy. took me 2 tries on the last level. you should add really badass levels with weird shapes and stuff, that would make it really shine.
This game is really fun. I liked how I got better as I played through the levels. It was challenging, but I wish there were more levels. Thanks for making this–it really rocks
I couldn’t get it to work, do you need to do anything special or have any special software to run it ???

Sam – the game only requires an OpenGL compliant video card with somewhat recent OpenGL drivers. Generally this limits problems to older computers or laptops and I’ve also seen some problems with old on-board intel graphic chips drawing things upside down…
Normally, its my style to write long posts, but in this case, i can only say…
…wow…
…and: more levels please
This game is addictive. I have to believe that with some additional polish, you could charge $15-$20 for it.

Hey, Seth! This is John Pritchett, co-author of TradeWars. We chatted a few times before, about LORD, etc. I was looking through the IGF entries and spotted your game. Congrats! Email me if you’d like to catch up.

Hey John! Good to hear from ya, I will drop you an email soon. TradeWars forever.
You made this PC thing with your Novashell engine?
Sephiroth:
Yep – I used Novashell as the base framework for Mind Wall and also Strong AI. Both were entries for the LD 48 hour competition.
It’s important to note that Novashell itself doesn’t have much 3D functionality. I wrote the Mind Wall object (called a “Brain” in Novashell) in C++. (It access the existing GL context and just draws whatever it wants)
So where it gave me a real head start was by handling input, menus, audio, scripting, one button .zips for Mac and Win, and just being very familiar.
Hey Seth,
Dave Burke from Hemisphere Games here — just dropping a note to say how much I enjoyed Mind Wall! Fantastic game, great sound design, awesome minimalism. It’s like Blockout-meets-2001. Excellent job!
Keep me posted of any new projects — keep it up the great work!
Cheers,
Dave
