Pyweek over, see my finished game 'Space Rotate', to play you just need to click the mouse (click on instructions on the main menu screen).  The basic game mechanic is clicking on circles in order to 'align' them - but some circles are 'connected' to some of their neighbours.  Try it - it's simpler than it sounds!

This was my first time developing a game and so I opted for something fairly minimalist.  I found that while getting the game working wasn't too hard, making the game 'fun' was quite tricky.  Fortunately I discovered this with time to spare and so was able to work on the gameplay quite a bit.  To make the levels, I wrote a quick and dirty level generator (which I haven't included in the package), and tried to order the levels produced in a sensible way.

There are 5 'galaxies' to complete in the main game, each of which consists of 10 'levels'.  Then, if you can't get enough there is a 'bonus' galaxy, which is a random selection of 10 from 300 levels, guaranteeing almost endless 'fun'.

If you manage to complete the game, I'll be impressed - the end of galaxy 4 and galaxy 5 are quite tricky!

Of course there are aspects of the game I'd like to improve, but overall I'm happy with what I've done.  Have a go and see if you like it!
