I gave up ... or did I win?! Neat idea, fits great with the theme. I had to give a low Fun score, but I think that's the whole point.

@deathray I was hoping to add more progression and conclusion, but didn't have time. Guess it'll have to wait for a post-compo version...
I had to give you 5 stars for Innovation, Theme and Mood.
Damn, that bird just has no where to go!
I am good at sitting.
This is very nice and peaceful, thank you.
Beautiful, I like the concept! Love the ambience. :)
An idea so simple, yet so brilliant, I wish I had thought of it myself.
Glad it wasn't real-time
WIN! haha... So very quaint!
Soon, coming to Steam: Sitting Simulator 2013!
Haha well done sir, this was really peaceful :) I could do this all day(but couldn't do it all night, I gave up:( )! xD
That is the second game that my cat has beaten just by holding space :) Love the idea and mood, but it surely lack some engaging parts.
It tends to crash if I just hit space bar and hold, but if I first sit and stand up a few times and then proceed to hold the space bar it works ok.
Very interesting. I kept sitting for quite a while which I guess is a good score. Something happening would have been fun and given me more of a reason to keep sitting.
Very clever idea for the theme and a beautiful implementation of that idea. Well done!
I don't really know how to rate that. But I will go for a good rating, because, it's not really a game. However, it suit the theme perfectly ! And there is some great great idea and imagination here !
this game is beautiful, soft and quiet. It fits my interpretation of the theme.
I wish there were more animals coming...
But i will wait. :)
Nice. Clever. Makes me want to stop and think.
Wow, very cool idea, and very peaceful, as you say. Very impressive graphics and sounds; I love the animations of the guy sitting and also the little stuff, like the color change at sunset and for night.
That was really quite something. It was great how a simple mechanic of holding spacebar keeps the player engaged enough with the game to think about everything going on. It really captured the feeling of intense focus and reflection I have when I watch a beautiful sunset. To see what happens, I lifted off of spacebar and the abruptness was a really cool contrast that pushes the point that some things must be appreciated serenely. Well done.
I really loved the contrast between holding space and lifting off of space, the abruptness and reversal of time effectively convey that some things must be appreciated serenely to get the full affect, and a sharp exit from meditation can undo all the progress one makes. Well done.
certainly minimal! could have used some tranquil or nature musics
Very nice use of the theme.
I feel this will help me prepare for old age.
Haha this was a good one :)
An entire life he sat down in a rock...the reality of mature society, sad but true, please fix the non-post-compo, I would like to test with sounds :)
This is minimalistic!
Very interesting. I wish time actually flowed like that. I could sit down and ponder my LD game idea then stand up to find the theme has only just been announced!
Oddly enough, even the "with sound" version has no sound in Firefox. Also, Firefox tries to scroll the page when I hit space (may be my config). Voted N/A on audio due to rules violation.
It's awesome the we can express ourselves through games and interactive software. Beautiful in many ways. I really like the details, the animation, colors, etc. Good job.
Such a cool and interesting concept! Really well done.
Great job!
Excellent work. I'm going to wait and see what else happens. 10 minutes and counting.
Nice, would like to see it worked on more though. Was interesting to play though. Great job!
We sit together / the rock and I / until only the rock remains
Oh wow, longest night ever. :P
Great concept!
The breeze the the grass was a great effect. Nice atmosphere.
This man can control the sun, moon, and time itself just by sitting. He is truly a god!
Interesting. I was a little lost at what to do once I got to the end of the night. I guess that's the end? It was fun to see how tense I got just waiting for something to happen.. nice game.
Yeah, did that for a while. The moon stops moving and the grass moves a bit... wow.
Funny, but I just can't be still for so long.
Nice idea, it's kinda inspiring I'd say. Graphics are good, but it needs sound!!! :)
i think this is one of those things that spawn the debate of what is a "game". I think the mood and theme are great, but i feel a need for an outcome.
Nice take. I liked the subtle and slow effects like the grass moving and the bird flapping!
The bird was totally cute. :)
The mechanic is so simple, the results very cathartic. Amazing experience.
very nice. nailed the theme perfectly.
