    [beta] Control Freak

    Control Freak is still under development, but I want to know what you guys think. Any graphical suggestions would be greatly appreciated as you will find out, I struggle in that area. Also, any suggestions for a game title would be great. To play, select the objects on the screen using the number key that corresponds to the objects number. After being selected, use the arrow keys to move the object. Get all of the objects to their corresponding block before time runs out.

    Holding down the arrow keys doesn't work?

    i need some more instructions i have no idea what i'm doing ll i can figure out is holding the right key speeds you up and that's about it, a very difficult game but i think with some control touch up's it can be very nice

    I love this idea but the control needs to be polished. You shouldn't have to tap the button so many times to get moving! I say you should focus on the gameplay before anything else. It's a great game idea but the control makes me not want to play.

    I like that you have to keep multiple players moving in unison to make it to the end before the time runs out.

    The only visual glitch that nagged me is the leftover ghost when you move on to the next stage. You need to clear the ghost images after you finish the stage.

    Uh, it wouldn't do anything for me no matter what keys I pressed or held down or how fast/much I did it.

    The controls are terrible or maybe I just really suck at this game. It seems impossible to turn

    well it sounds like the controls need some explanation or a little tune-up. Let me explain them a little better. Before you can move any objects, they have to be selected. To select an object, use the number keys at the top of the keyboard. After an object is selected, then you can use the arrow keys to move it. You can't hold down the arrow keys to speed up. You must manually tap the keys to increase your speed. This is specific control is necessary for later levels.

    Any ideas on a better control system.

    Son of Bryce - thanks, I will remove the ghost image.
