Awesome Game! Good graphics and a very fun game.

I don't have windows :(

Great Arts, but i couldn't pass the first screen i didn't know what to do, also is a shame there is not source code, +1 for XNA :D

fussycashew 2013-04-29 22:57

hgouvia: Read the controls page. The goal is to connect the nodes (little orb things) into a chain

I can't run the game...it hangs then windows says it stopped working. I'm on windows 7 x64.

ddioniso: Try installing the XNA redistributibles

Very awesome game! The implied story line was amazing, the mechanic was simple and interesting, but the art was the best!

This is a really pretty game, although I felt like there was some symbolism that I wasn't getting. :/

ddionisio 2013-04-29 23:14

Ok, I got it to work. I basically reinstalled the xna redist...odd.

Anyways, I really love the art in this game, really cool. Also the fog is awesome and the levels are well designed such that you don't blindly fall into traps. The subtle glow of the mushrooms is a nice touch.

Beautyful and poetic game! Maybe i would have make the difficulty grow more. Beautiful work!

Gorgeous game with a solid mechanic. I loved the playback leading to the reveal, felt really natural as part of the gameplay.

beldarak 2013-04-30 01:12

Beautiful and really charming. Good job !

I really enjoyed the art direction that you took with this game. I also thought that the fog and then the reveal worked out very nicely. The music was fitting, too

So I pressed N and what is this.

This was a great game and your artist is fan-tas-tic. The only thing this game needs is a readme explaining the controls.

This is a fantastic game!!!!!!! I loved every moment, All of the art is exquisite!!!

dagamesta 2013-04-30 02:47

Graphics were nice, music was charming, and it was an interesting concept altogether, Not sure how minimalistic you can really say this is, but I'd say it's enough. I can hardly believe you made all those levels with all that art and design in 72 hours, good job!

Didn't see how it fit the theme. But I found it very soothing and beautiful to look at.

HelkeGames 2013-04-30 19:51

Awesome game! Loved the graphic well done :)

I saw a blog post of this before they all had to be entered - I told myself to keep an eye on this one, so glad I've found it!
Very peaceful, quite relaxing, I definitely enjoyed this one a lot

chrstphrschulte 2013-04-30 19:59

The art and ambiance are good, but I think the mechanic lost its appeal after the first few levels. It would have been nice to have some complexity added to it as you progress.

lucasncv 2013-04-30 20:02

Loved this game, very cute!

aestheticgamer 2013-04-30 20:02

Very cute game! Had a nice style to it, was fun to play and I felt compelled to finish it. Music was charming, and the whole experience was very warm.

dissonance 2013-05-01 03:08

Very chill game. The art is nicely done. I like how after beating a level you get to see the background revealed to you. Good job!

fullmontis 2013-05-01 07:32

NOOOO it crashes on start up (Windows 7 64bit) :(
I really wanted to try this out...

fullmontis 2013-05-01 09:53

Ok, please disregard my stupidity, it looks like I just needed to download the XNA framework :D
Fantastic game with a really charming mood and interesting mechanic. I love how the fog dissipates when the level ends.

vilya 2013-05-01 22:54

Something of a flawed masterpiece this, I'd say. Lovely art & sound, nice mechanic and very well put together.

Some suggestions:
1. You shouldn't have to use the mouse to click on next, when all the other controls are on the keyboard.
2. The first light should be activated automatically - bit annoying to have to backtrack because you didn't realise/forgot that you needed to activate it.

Good Work!

Excellent entry. Finished the game. Really liked the way the finishing of a level reveals the whole picture. Great way to combine a good mechanic with good graphics!

Would be nice of those orbs would be automatically be activated when you move past them, I forgot to activate them somtimes and had to walk back the same way.

I would really like to try this game out, but I'm actually getting malicious software warnings from Google Chrome, for some reason.

r3d5 2013-05-04 06:04

Dawww! What a great ending! I loved the game thanks for making it!

fussycashew 2013-05-04 14:49

Sestren: Chrome warns you when you download a zip containing an exe from a "non common" site. You shouldn't get the warning if you download it from the mirror hosted on Dropbox instead of my domain.

Great game. Love the feeling of watching the art appear once you beat a level and realising what you've been wandering through =D
