A good game !! And now a comment in french because it's easier for me.
Excellent concept la partie supérieure avec la pensée de la fille, et très cool histoire avec - comme d'habitude j'ai envie de dire - des dialogues très drôles et bien écrits. C'est un truc simple, bien fait et efficace. Victoire pour toi !!
Tu es réactif toi dis donc!^^
Merci beaucoup. J'en suis pas aussi satisfait que Never Alone Hotline ou Le Corbeau et La Renarde mais bon...Ca fait un jeu de plus! :)
Good one, nice and to the point.
It's just missing background bar sounds ;)
Loved it. Great story, awesome graphics! And in Poland people also say "what a small world it is" - "jaki mały ten świat", when they meet someone they didn't expect to see. Very good take on the theme.
This entry was funny. I played through once and it was funny and well-drawn. Even though the graphics didn't change much it was still charming and amusing. The fact that it had music that wasn't annoying and slipped in the background really helped to.
Thank you for this.
AHAHAHAHA oh god the embarassment.
Nice work! Love the characters.
I really like the mood of the game. The history is cool too. But as you said is almost not a game. I enjoyed playing it though.
Thanks for the game!
HAHA, really like this one. A pity it's not a real game :)
I almost did something with that "it's a tiny world" in mind, but.. I didn't. Well, luckily for me as yours is well done, has a good story, and really nice characters :)
Realy liked it
Noticed the references to Never Alone Hotline. It was kinda cool. World is sure is tiny!
Great Job! I love the humor and twist on the theme.
Nice little story. I like that he didn't turn out to be a psychopath :D
Lol i really liked it. Enjoyed the story a lot, and the art style is really good! Great job
Really really liked it. Dialogues are great, the game's really fun (and funny) and the way you interpreted the theme was very original.
That is one of the funniest, most well-written things I've ever played.
Neat concept for a game. Really had fun. Engrossing story, music that didn't get on my nerves. Thanks!
Woah. Thanks to all of you! I promise next time it will be a real game! ^^
Very good !!
Narration is just perfect :)
Congrats !
Just Crazy (the good way) xD
Loved it !
Excellent ! I really loved it, at first I was a bit afraid of not doing anything but the story just got me. The twist was great, good humor, not a "game" but I had some good time.
A bit of sound ambiance could have been good but it's to say something
Cool game, and full game. Great story too. Love the arts and feeling while playing, great use of AGS !
Great story. I really enjoyed the dialogs and being in the brain of the girl :)
Very very entertaining. Loved it!
très surprenant et fun mais un peu court, on aurais bien aimé en savoir plus sur cette fille ^^
@Kane : ça viendra ^^ j'aime bien développer mes personnages
This game is soooooo cute!
J'aime cette jeux beaucoups! (Ok, my French is a bit week. But it would have been cool to have a bilingual version)
Really enjoyed the story! Didn't see the ending coming at all, and it made me laugh.
An good story with a lot of humor inside of it! The graphisms and the sound are really well adapted, I find my self imerged in it, thanks to that!
I find the form of the response for the theme interesting and well doned! When you meet someone that was part of your life years ago and you didn't expect to see her or him here, it's really a good example how the world feel small!
A good work and a nice game !
Ok I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed this! Only game with a 5/5 mood and 5/5 humor that I gave so far. I also love how you integrated the theme.
I also really love how immersive it felt. I really felt that I was in an awkward conversation. And I love how the two faces showed what she was thinking and what she was showing.
Overall really amazing, and I thank you for making this, and I will be on the lookout for your future games!
Really awesome take on the theme. Nicely done.
Great dialog, great story, great art. Not much gameplay, but still fun. Nice work.
Just awesome story! You should work in the video game industry. It could help to have great story instead of...
I really like your story games, Pierrec, and this one gave me some laughs, but I also though it was a bit too short. Thanks for the game!
Also, all that your text adventures need to be a "real" game is multiple endings :-)
@caranha : I'm glad you liked it. But I (friendly) disagree with what you just said. I don't think multiple endings are enough to turn a text adventure into a real game, it's much more complicated than that. In fact...real game features aren't necessary to make a "real game", I think the only important thing is that the player FEEL it is a game, even if it's not. Never Alone Hotline for exemple felt like a game, because the player could invent his own wining and losing conditions, even if there was only one ending. This one doesn't feel like a game, because the player quickly feel I want to lead him somewhere. Moreover, because he can see Amy's thoughts, he doesn't even have the freedom to think by himself. This thoughts might be an interesting narrative item, but there are AWFUL game design items. To turn Ok...Now this is akward into a game, I should had rethink everything, I should had try to trick the player to make him feel he's actually playing, even if he's not.
(I talk about it in my post mortem : http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2012/04/26/ok-now-this-is-akward-post-mortem-timelapse/
But after all, this is good : I've tried new things, and I learnt from them. The next game will be better!
Ok the "real", was because you yourself commented (in your post-mortem) that you would "make a real game" next time. I might have not expressed myself, but when I mentioned "multiple endings" I was actually thinking of Alone Hotline: Even though there is only "one ending", you could consider each mini dialogue in that game as a different "mini game", and because your choices would affect the ending of each mini game, in a sense that game had "multiple endings".
I more or less considered this game to be about the same as one of the "mini games" in Alone Hotline, so that is why I ended up talking about "multiple endings" :-), cheers!
Sorry, not in the post mortem, your "real game" comment came from one of your replies above. That was what I was replying to.
Wow! I wasn't expecting that! Nice story! =D
@Caranha : I knew that, don't worry ^^ It's an interesting subject, that's all :)
I like Amy's character, so straight. Good story telling!
Haha, wow, I had this same sort of idea but thought it would be too weird and beautiful for ludum dare, but here it is! Awesome job.
I like how you interpreted the theme.
Good one.
Very well done and clever, even if it's not a game. Good stuff!
Je me disais que tu aurais du mal à faire mieux que Never Alone Hotline, mais je pense que tu as réussi haut la main.
Franchement, bravo !
Les graphismes sont très bien et plus développé que sur NAH, et le jeu m'a encore plus fait rire.
Une fois de plus, une grande réussite.
Ahah nice ending! Very well set mood.
I like it!
Who doesn't know this situation...meeting a man you don't know...that was a woman before XD
Sad, that there was not more to ionteract with. Liked the overall game!
I laughed on some parts and enjoyed the whole of it. Very well done and an excellent take on the topic.
Loooove how you handled the concept and the graphics. Our entry has the same "Tiny World" idea of "relationships" and stuff like that. And we are from Argentina, so it's fun to see how in France there's also this "Oh, it's a small world idea"... Anyway congratulations!
Great job, funny use of the theme, cool to see a game like this for a change. The ending was quite a twist, didn't saw that coming!
Great! :D The story and characters are really well thought, as usual, and the graphics match perfectly ;) I think I'll play it again to see if there is different endings...
There is not :(
Haha, this was a good one :D
Rather interesting. As boring as the <guy> was, this was pretty intriguing to sit through! and it made me smile.
