Wow, this is the most amazing entry I've played yet. The design was super, the gameplay was great, too. Kittens were awesome! :D

Love it! I like the whole concept and the graphics are really well done. I did struggle a bit with learning to do things on my own but it's relatively intuitive!

I have just now managed to pick myself up from the floor after a good five minutes of laughing various body parts off.

You deserve a medal.

Great game, but when I played it firefox went up to 51% CPU usage about half way through. I switched to chrome but shifting my size with v didn't seem to work. I can tell it's a good game though just wish I could play it properly :(

Best music, period. The rest of it is great too but I especially loved the music.

You're the only one I've given 5 stars across the board to, congrats!

Very good. First game I've played and wanted to finish so far. I would recomend chrome/chromium. I started off in firefox and it was waaay to slow to play on my laptop.

dvdking 2012-08-27 08:38

Graphics, story, gameplay, everything was great.
It must be something bigger in future.

@Skulls: Indeed the game is laggy with Firefox unfortunately, mainly because of the libs I used. Regarding the controls, it's not "v" but "down arrow", I didn't notice the symbol ambiguity, sorry!

kidanger 2012-08-27 12:35

Very nice ! It's cool you added a bonus level.

vilya 2012-08-27 12:35

Brilliant! Love the look, the music, the unobtrusive tutorials, everything. The only complaint is that it's a little tricky to position yourself over the narrow holes so you can drop through. Everything else: brilliant!

Lags on third level when using chrome, didnt work with ie

Great game. As others have said the music was a great choice. I also thought the faux diary was a nice touch. (Though you should go through and fix the many typos it contains.) The gameplay itself was OK. I would like to see some more interesting puzzles, though, which really make the player think. There were also a handful of bugs with the collision detection, especially when rotating the cells. But all in all I thought this was a great entry, nice work!

Quite amazing, I love the atmosphere of the game. Very nice art too, and an extra point for the hidden level ;)

mortalwombat 2012-08-27 22:07

I liked it even though it's quite rough around some edges (e.g. the collision detection edges ;)).

The one thing it lacks, in my opinion, is some interesting level designs and a proper ending (apart from the "improper" ending which was lovely :D).

Lovely audio and graphics, though!

Great art, interesting gameplay. It's terribly laggy in firefox though.

accidentalrebel 2012-08-29 05:44

Aside from the graphics, sound, and over-all mood. I also liked the gameplay mechanics. Although simple, they still forced me to stop and concentrate. Now that's a beginning of a good puzzle game. Looking forward to seeing more of this in the future!

tdsmale 2012-08-29 11:51

Best I've played so far! :)

zx81 2012-08-29 12:49

with i.e. & firefox not working.

One of the most interesting games, although Ive had some problems with starting the game. The music is really good.

cappelnord 2012-08-29 13:58

epic good. Favourite so far.

bumpkinrich 2012-08-29 17:56

Thanks Wan. Really enjoyed playing through your experiment. Really lovely mood.

flyingbear 2012-08-29 22:26

A very nice puzzle game, I'd like to see it expanded in the future. Maybe a different control for rotate, the game didn't respond well to me pressing down+left+right together and would only rotate me like 25% of the time.

dedhedzed 2012-08-30 12:57

It won't load for me, just gets stuck on 'loading libraries', which is really sad because, from the looks of things, it's amazing.

saguaro 2012-09-02 17:48

Great game! I'd love to see this one expanded.

yosh 2012-09-02 23:41

Well that's an amazing HTML5 game. I really really liked the hand-written style of the graphics, put in that a old-fashion scroll.
Good job!

raohmaru 2012-09-04 22:33

This game is amazing!!

haddy22 2012-09-05 22:10

Fantastic! Great job- the design was inspired- the evolution theme fit 5/5 and I love the old paper element fitting seamlessly into the BG on the page. Very cool game- nice 1

igor-silva 2012-09-06 10:59

great, the history is amazing, the graphics is very good, congratulations, i loved this game

deepnight 2012-09-06 17:20

That's a really impressive work for a 48h game :) The overall art is great and level design is good. I especially liked the music, works great!

Good job :)

frogmaster 2012-09-06 19:04

Everyting is so delicious in this game: humor, fun, graphics, audio, attitude to theme! Fantastic!

Ronny 2012-09-19 16:39

This menu music sounds a lot like star wars :D Currently playing seems very very cool.

buttercupsaiyan 2012-09-21 19:21

Well, that was really fun to play. I love the art style of the paper textures, the combination idea and the music is just wonderful.
