Thanks for the life lesson! I didn't really felt the minimal style of the game, but it's fun and quite original (and portal inspired, loved that)

Polished and pretty, fun and funny!

diventurer 2013-04-29 08:04

You sadist motherfucker... xD

About max score from me. This is definitely the best game I've played so far! :)

Really creative, and all those messages had very good timing - like you really watched over me as I played. The random end-game was also great. I died once because I thought it was a cutscene or something. :p

I like it!
Good lesson )

The first few levels I felt a bit apprehensive, not knowing what was coming up, whether there were any pits or things I would fall into D: I was a little disappointed when there weren't any though. Would've loved to have that slight feeling of fear through out the entire game.
But yeah, great game!

Great game! Really fun! I always had a fear of falling, but it never happened. Good job!

The Path of God - "Only in the leap from the lion's head will he prove his worth."

Great game!! I love the messages :)

@infernet89 As I made the game I forgot to pay more attention to the theme. In the beginning it was more minimalist but also uglier and kind of boring.

@Diventurer The good timing is thanks to my friends, they came to my room from time to time and that really helped me. It's very helpful to have that kind of live feedback.

@lambomang I didn't want the player to die, I thought about including enemies, spikes and similar stuff. In the end I decided to remove those because I didn't want players to feel afraid of exploring.

Thank you all for playing, I'm glad you liked it. By the way, the thing that talks to you through the game was supposed to give you positive messages about life, somehow it developed its own personality and decided to be a jerk :)

Fantastic - i love the background too. Kinds similar to my entry too - uncovering the hidden level!

annynn 2013-04-29 12:33

One of the best games I've played so far! :)

That was awesome, one of the funnest games i've played so far! I love how the level develops bit by bit, forcing you to re-evaluate your understanding of the level over and over.

From the beginning on I thought "I feel like a rat in a maze", so I was happy when you made the skinner box reference :)

edocentrique 2013-04-29 15:26

Nicely done :)

timtipgames 2013-04-29 16:24

The game plays nice and it seems to be polished. But the game play mechanic itself isn't that interesting to be honest (just my opinion). So it was a clever move to entertain the player with some funny voice from the off :) And to be fair: when I thought that the game was over I was pleasantly surprised by the wall/running part and the ending. So - well done I'd say :)

I really liked this one. The Portal-esque narrative kept me going until the end. I think not putting in dangerous hazards was a smart decision. At first I was worried I was going to have to be on the look out for pits or traps, and was very happy that the game never went in that direction.

canobie 2013-04-29 19:44

Very cool... Very innovative as well :)

pyrosneak 2013-04-29 21:49

Amazing game. :)

milktoast 2013-04-29 22:50

I fell outside the "world" and lost my ability to jump! This game is really great! Felt like Indy!

geepit 2013-04-29 23:00

Really enjoyable!

prelucid 2013-04-29 23:27

Awesome game. I loved it. That part I kept hitting the wall, hahaha!

tozy 2013-04-29 23:42

4/5 stars to mood... i really liked the end :)

cwilloughby 2013-04-30 02:43

Super cool! Really liked the narration and the discovery aspect. Liked that there was no death for most of it. The sound was a little grating. The last level reminded me of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BiMYjVvhxE.

joror 2013-04-30 19:26

A game for game-creators. :) Simple mechanics and a lovely explorative aspect. Another part I really liked is that it was impossible to lose, in a puzzle game that really strengthens the gameplay!

nanolotl 2013-05-01 05:41

Good simple platformer. The hexagons in the background were a nice touch.

argo15 2013-05-01 06:15

That was really entertaining. Good gameplay mechanic too.

smilingrob 2013-05-01 19:03

Amazing! One of my favorite LD games so far. Great portal-esque passive-aggressive humor.

uhfgood 2013-05-01 20:45

One of the few I played to the end. Pretty cute.

evilseanbot 2013-05-02 02:31

Good job overall! I also appreciated the ending sequence quite a bit.

I though the pingy block discovery noise got a little irritating, though

fnkee 2013-05-05 19:47

Haha, this game is mind blowing! Never before have I seen a game with this great level design! The way you lure the player to believe he's smart, only to ridicule him once he realize he was wrong about a puzzle. Amazing.

I had many laughs(loud ones) throughout the game, but the one where you say "by now you should know my tricks", and actually make a very simple route. That was without doubt my favorite.

The storytelling, the company, the game play in itself, the minimalism. Everything about this game deserves great acknowledgement, and I'm really happy I tried it out.

dmitrix 2013-05-09 03:00

Nice! I really enjoyed this game. ^_^ I like how you managed to use a simple game mechanic yet it make it innovative. The commentary was a nice touch!

gatechgrad 2013-05-09 05:19

Nice little game, and I really enjoyed the jokes by the narrator throughout the game.

euwaku 2013-05-09 06:48

Pretty little game with a deep story hidden in it.
