Brilliant! The theme... The story... The music... Pureky brilliant!
If only it were a little bit longer. This was a lot of fun, great music and great puzzles. Was the abrupt way the music stopped at the end intentional?
Well initially the plan was for the last "level" to be automatic and the music was going to end perfectly with when the end screen showed up. However, I realized the ending felt much more dramatic when the player was controlling it and I didn't have the time nor the know how to mesh the music with what the player was doing. It's not perfect, but 48 hours isn't a long time ;)
Thanks for the kind words.
Thanks for posting the instructions about XNA. It's amazing how many games I haven't run because I didn't know that.

I had a lot of fun, very interesting puzzles and great texts! The music really inmersed me in the game despite of graphics. Note: the source link is not working.
Great story, Great gameplay
Thanks everyone, the source link is now fixed. Sorry about that.
Great Monologue! Great cello playing! although i am kinda getting depressed playing this :(
good work anyways!
Fun puzzle game, with an awesome narrative (I was thinking that only 4-5 lines into the game:)). Good use of the theme, too. Oh yeah, and that cello music? Good stuff. I just read that you played it yourself, nice. I had read before playing of Logic Pro, so I thought it was just a (good) arrangement.
I like the characterization that was applied to this mechanic. Well done, and very good execution on the tone.
Cool! Gets frustrating in places, but never quite too much so. Neat way of weaving a lot of tension and drama into a very simple gameplay rule.
Crash on "press enter" Win7 x64. "Song playback failed. Please verify that the song is not DRM protected. DRM protected songs are not supported for creator games." on MediaPlayer.Play(maintheme); Stupid DRM. Anyway, recompiled with music commented. Interesting take on the mirror image gameplay.
Couldn't play it on win 7, tried running the game with win xp compatibility but failed too.
Rudy and arielsan, that's weird, seeing as I made the game on windows seven. I honestly can't present a fix for that.
