I'm not sure what this is.

Very nice graphics and interesting gameplay, but I got a bit stuck by the end.

geoege 2012-12-17 19:42

I... dont get it. Pretty nice graphics btw. :)

pierrec 2012-12-17 19:46

I'm not sure If I found the ending either, but it's a nice piece of art. Great atmosphere.
I hope Terry Cavanagh will play this.

derosa 2012-12-17 19:49

I liked the look and ambiance, but after reaching the "end" I could not find out what to do. Anyway lots of potential here.

xbelanch 2012-12-17 20:35

Thanks for your feedbacks. I know that there is no ending or a clear goal to reach. That is my fault after I see that I could not find any good solution. In fact the general idea was to make a game from the point of view of someone similar to Slender, someone who just killed another that was searching the eight pages on a forest. I'm really happy with the result (is my first game) and probably I will try to develop the plot and, of course, think a good end.

And yeah, I admire so much the work of Terry Cavanagh :-)

edocentrique 2012-12-17 22:32

I don't see the point nor why it's a vilain but the minimalist style with the pixel rain is beautiful

I love Terry's work, so it's nice to see a game inspired by one of his.
I like the atmosphere you created with the nice, dark palette along with the storm sounds, I just wish there would be a real ending to it.

nice graphics

aeveis 2012-12-18 22:33

there could be better placement of things, like a bit more walking space before the sand pit so people don't walk into it by accident. Otherwise a nice start!

juniorus 2012-12-18 22:51

Great atmosphere, thanks to the sound effects and the Cavanagh model. I'm not really into the Slender thing so I think I missed some things.
I though the player (ME) is a kind of villain who's leading the character to the hell... but I'm probably wrong^^

I really love the graphics, the theme, the audio, and the ambiance, it's just even though it was your intention to leave out solid game play it's rather uninteresting after 30 seconds of holding the right key without any game play. None the less very cool on the content end though.

hackthepanda 2012-12-19 00:44

I didn't mention this specifically but I should as it's cool, I really love the rain effect :)

jacksgamessucks 2012-12-19 20:36

maybe nice original concept but overall i dont get it, should be more hints unless games is not finished

kgs0142 2012-12-20 15:02

"Jump or don't play." lol
I like the ambient, the night and the rain.
But I am not sure what the story is talking about..

feili 2012-12-21 00:21

I really like the mood the graphics and the texts... but yeah an end is needed!

csanyk 2012-12-21 01:45

Just a tip, you made your source available on github as a .gmx. You should also make a "Export Project" .gmz version so that people can download the project in one click.

xbelanch 2012-12-21 07:48

csanyk: Thanks for the tip! I'll do as soon I finish at work :-)

xbelanch 2012-12-21 07:51

feili: I'll take this holidays to improve the story, add NPC characters, create more rooms (based in a new idea I'll share in the postmortem post) and, yeah!, design an ending.

xbelanch 2012-12-21 10:23

csanyk done! https://github.com/xbelanch/LD48/blob/master/ld48.gmz

mase 2012-12-22 12:45

I like the idea of a Terry Cavanagh game remade without goals 'cause I'm bad at tricky platformers.

raincole 2012-12-22 13:01

Good mood. The plot is hard to understand.

zatyka 2012-12-22 14:31

I enjoyed it for what it was. I kind of wish you used the art style, and maybe even game mechanics, but in a different way then Terry did.

christinaneofotistou 2012-12-22 14:32

lovely atmosphere!! the half-hidden person crept me out!

ddionisio 2012-12-22 18:22

The game definitely has some atmosphere in it. Not sure if I was a villain though. Good graphics and audio! Now it just needs more exploration and possibly a checkpoint.

eni 2012-12-22 19:06

Really great atmosphere, such a shame there isn't more story in it!

wally2069 2012-12-22 20:16

Well that sure was weird, but it did not really anything for me.

Jeremias 2012-12-22 22:36

As the others said: Nice graphics but... what the fuck? ^^

xbelanch 2012-12-23 10:09

I said it before: there's no plot or end (am I a villain for create a game without an end? :-)

sonnybone 2012-12-23 17:00

Amazing atmosphere and visuals. The ambient sound is also very pleasing. I didn't really know what was going on or how it was tied to the theme, but the confusion of it all made it very interesting.

aare 2012-12-26 14:53

I love this kind of gameplay and your graphic style. The lack of the proper ending or goal was a bit disapoinint

beerman 2012-12-28 23:05

Looks great, brilliant atmosphere, just needs some actual "game" in there and you'd have a real winner on your hands.

the-jack 2012-12-29 03:41

Did I win? Not sure how this fits the theme, and the insta-kill then restarting at the beginning was a drag. That & there not being an ending.

Good job recording a thunder storm during the 48 hours!

xbelanch 2012-12-29 15:34

@Beerman thanks! it's my first game so it's great hear this

@Dark Acre Jack: I know it's not a "finished game" and I said before a few times it has a lot of flaws and lack of an ending. To be honest it was more important for me to make my first game than not to win the competition.

PS: Have you been before in Barcelona? We have a great thunder storms every weekend ;-)

angrygeometry 2013-01-07 18:00

this felt really nice. i liked it.
