Unable to test: Pressing 'Enter' does not allow the user to type, and therefore cannot get past that screen.

the mood of the game was cool -- however the feel of the game was just to large scale for me to feel minimal -- great effort -- the graphics were insanely awesome

Great game. The music is great, the graphics are great. I like everything about this game.
I was particularly fond of the scrolling text slowly creating the colour codes, too. It's a little thing but I appreciated it.

If you drop from early on, you gain too much speed to land
and you fall through everything to the bottom and die.

very nice atmosphere to the game.

This looks interesting. However, I can't type DEEPTEST, typing does not work ...

I'm playing Web (Unity) version, typing is working, mouse click on input field (Enter button is resting in peace, but it's not so critical.

I was like Mario who died of grief found no princess. The first 5 minutes, I just liked to jump and die. Very cool last breath animation. Through the game you got in that Minimalism thing. Very moody. NJ

Fixed critical bug with the console

Thanks for your feedback guys!

Can't seem to press enter to start typing again if I typed something incorrect.

Very cool !

Difficult to understand. I was rather disoriented at the beginning, and when I reached that code message thingy that gave me a dash, I got stuck. The message said I should find somehing spinning. Well. I tried to, but didn't [s]understand[/s]. It also seemed that my dash ability had disappeared. On top of that, when I was using a console, it stopped responding. And I was flying away slowly, having nothing to do. The last screen: http://puu.sh/2K2hV.jpg Can't rate the game for now.

Very nice!

Madball,

You right. Messages seems to tangled.

Dash actually changed to another skill - Link. And you should look around and find spining cube like this one:

(at center of the screen).
Lock it on center (it will start rotate faster) and press space or lbm.
Also you used console code at a wrong location. You should use it at start of the level.

Nice atmosphere! :)

The link to the Linux version throws a 404 error and some russian (?) text.

dyn 2013-05-01 17:14

kddekadenz,

Fixed. Thanks :)

i only can enter 1 command :( then the console is blocked

brookman 2013-05-01 20:55

This game reminded me a lot of TRON 2.0 (the ego shooter). It has a really cool visual style and interesting idea. However a few times I had bug, that the console doesn't allow to input anything anymore.

Amazing graphics. Amazing atmosphere. Unfortunately it was really easy to get stuck - I got the dash ability and couldn't figure out how to use it, and the level disappeared around me :( I also fell through the ground very often. It was a little confusing to be able to jump, then suddenly to get dash and not be able to jump anymore.

The concept though is really cool. I wanted to try it some more but I'm not sure if I'll have the time for it.

Really liked the idea of being able to access emails and to see the story through that.

Great work here overall.

I found this pretty nice, especially the graphics and audio. However, I kept falling off cliffs so I can't say much about everything else.

madball 2013-05-04 11:01

Replayed it. The player sometimes might fall throught the floor when he jumps (but you might have done it intentionally). When you use link, you might collide with something midway, and don't reach the link cube, but get somewhere else. Or, even worse, you can link though a wall and get stuck.
I liked the story, though didn't understand it fully, but I really though there'll be about 3 levels... Very moody game.

Very nice. Simple textures and nice lighting (special shader ?) Messages leading through impressive... sound/visuals interaction for the pseudo-console stuff very nice.

shiro 2013-05-18 13:38

Nice game! I really like the mood, still it's a little hard to do precide jumps.
