Nice game mate, even if i'm not a adventure game fan, i'm a sucker for meta stuff (you know, stuff like this: http://www.mpls.tv/2011/08/18/ive-never-meta-pizza-i-didnt-like/)

Neat game, though it could use some sound. I'm not really sure what you're trying to say with it...it feels a little like "Every Day the Same Dream" mixed with cynicism about gamedev...Keep working on it and make it even better :)

Thank you very much for these encouragements.
As you said, I might have been inspired by everyday the same dream, a game I really love, but my main inspiration was the Adaptation movie. This is a great and quite boring movie, and I wondered if I could make a great and quite boring game. Finally, I'm not sure it's really great ^^.
Yeah, I'd like to add more sounds (there are few of them if you find the correct ending) but I'm not good at it. But I think i'm gonna work again on the project, I like it.

This is pretty cool. I think it has a strong connection to everyone participating in the competition. Congrats on making your first game ever.

Launching went to a black screen, that had a window, the contents of which were also black. Mouse didn't work. I had to mash the keyboard until I found whatever key got me out of there.

@Zazery : Thank you very much!
@Siebharinn : I'm sorry. A friend reported me the exact same problem and I don't know where it is from. Can you play some other AGS games ? like this one : http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-21/?action=preview&uid=5587 ? My friend couldn't either...so it may come from the software...

This was a lot of fun and very awesome for your first Ludum Dare. I especially enjoyed the references to actual LD games and the metaness. I didn't expect so much content, very well done. Also: Yay for ponies!

I took me a while to figure out what to do. Especially at the beginning of the game I had to do stuff randomly until something worked. A bit more guidance would have been nice.

Thank you for this game.

Loved the meta-game (and as all participants, I can really identify myself to the hero), but would have appreciated some hints. A bit difficult to get to the next step forced me to brute force everything.

For your first game, you did not disappoint :)

Tanks for your comments. I'll try to make another version of the game with more guidance. Looks like it is what everybody want. oh, yeah : and a pink cursor too.
