I think that the concept of having two different paths if you're "sad" or "happy" it's really good. But it tooks me a while to understand how it works. Maybe you should have some much clear instructions.

I won't hear a word against the music. It suits the avant-garde nature of the game perfectly.

Nice idea. I don't really like how almost everyone is going to the "Alone = sad/angsty", but you managed to make it work.

The different "death" messages really add to the game too.

I think it was not really clear that after getting the paper you needed to go to the right side of the screen. It took me a while to realize that.

Also, you becoming sad when hit by happy sayings from other people was a bit strange. Maybe they should say something else?

Thanks for the game, I liked it! Hope you make more levels.

I really liked the concept. That said, it was a struggle to play and sometimes it wasn't clear why I died. My guess is being stuck in a wall that just appeared.

Very interesting concept, but very hard to play. I like the music!

What's the point?

Funny game. :) I love the gameplay idea!

It took me a while to undestand, but I really enjoyed it when I got it. It is very clever and funny, even for a french guy ;)

MAJOR INNOVATION KUDOS. This is a really great interpretation of the theme with several very refreshing gameplay mechanics. Thanks for thinking outside the box on this one... I very much enjoyed it!

Philosophy-em-up, hehe :)

This is the "out of the box" kind of games I love to see produced during Ludum Dare, +9000 kudos!

Thought this was pretty clever - the most existential game I've played so far!
