impressive and _very_ atmospheric!

cwilloughby 2013-04-29 05:44

Whoa. The graphics on this one sure are pretty. Loved the style. I really want more!

deadlyapps 2013-04-29 05:45

controls and game play fit theme really well. I love the story communication etc.. The combat at the end could have been a bit more interesting.

gabehollombe 2013-04-29 05:45

Wow! Great sound, and ambient effects. And a cut-scene! I was getting all excited to see what happened down in the hole, and then I maybe punched the wolf, and it ended. Kudos for getting me into the story!

chrstphrschulte 2013-04-29 05:47

I don't understand why the combat was inserted, the moment I was supposed to use it I just got sent to the fin screen. The wind sound effects and snow particle effects were cool.

bobo72a 2013-04-29 05:47

Great storytelling, but I died on the first wolf. Maybe it could be more forgiving in the future?

gilmore606 2013-04-29 05:48

very pretty and the audio is the best I've heard in this ludum so far.

amijlee 2013-04-29 05:49

Was there supposed to be a fight at the end? The wolf just stood still, then I walked toward it, and it went to the end screen.

karsyf 2013-04-29 05:51

lol at the finish, that was fun to play though

baldwinthree 2013-04-29 05:52

Loved the aesthetic and the sprites. Shame there isn't more!

loxo 2013-04-29 06:12

Great atmosphere!

yozz 2013-04-29 06:20

Thanks a lot for your comments. And sorry for that fighting scene in the end :)
I will make it better to the 15-th of march or near it.

yozz 2013-04-29 07:38

Oh, that`s what i love about games: your mind is the main game controller. Some people say wolf killed them, some people say they killed a wolf.
That sounds really interesting because that game has no win\lose conditions - screen just fades after 8 or 10 attacks. And then you think you`ve killed the wolf or the wolf killed you.

mrx 2013-04-29 08:21

That does have a very cool atmosphere, nice work!

toastyabraham 2013-04-29 09:09

Good job, got quiet into it, shame about the combat section at the end.

rockford 2013-04-29 09:10

Was hard to rate it. It's amazingly done, very immersive but not so fun at the end because of: use of keyboard keys (not minimalist, and not european keyboard friendly), and brutal end (not wanted to start again, too long to reach the wolf...). Well done however.

graytest 2013-04-29 09:10

Pretty cool and very atmospheric. Combat could have been better.

namuol 2013-04-29 09:10

What did you use to build this?

the-jack 2013-04-29 09:11

Yep, that was the fin. Nice graphics, BGM.

yozz 2013-04-29 09:13

namuol, construct 2.

yozz 2013-04-29 09:14

rockford, did you kill the wolf?

oatsbarley 2013-04-29 09:15

Awesome graphics, and the overall atmosphere is great. I wish the controls were a bit tighter, and that there was a way to get to the title screen from the game over screen.

lpcustom 2013-04-29 09:21

Is that Fred from Scooby Doo?

yozz 2013-04-29 09:22

oatsbarley, no way to get to the title is my hard fault. Sorry. And thanks for your critics.

yozz 2013-04-29 09:23

lpcustom, lol no. Random guy in ukrainian cossac`s clothes :)

unclejunkie 2013-04-29 10:19

Nice visuals and atmosphere!

perry 2013-04-29 10:39

The game just kind of ended... I didn't attack the wolf and the wolf didn't attack me. The animations for this were superb.

roguenoodle 2013-04-29 11:23

Great setting - I felt like I was getting a chill from the sound of the wind and snow. Not sure if I managed to kill the wolf or not, but I don't think so...

aquilicoco 2013-04-29 11:38

I love the atmosphere too.
Good work.

gokuhd 2013-04-29 13:01

It seems you put A LOT of efforts on this game, it looks very well. Please, if you decide to complete the gameplay in someway, let me know, I would love to play it. Btw, are you Spanish speaker? fin is Spanish :D

gokuhd 2013-04-29 13:14

I forgot to tell you that at the begining I did not know where I was. Maybe it would be clearer if you put the character a little bit nearer to the the scene.

yozz 2013-04-29 13:34

gokuhd, thanks for your comments, i really appreciate this. I will announce if this game will have any future (followed you in twitter).

I`m russian speaker :)

About the beginning: putting character in visible area was visually crap and i decided to draw a little pointing sign on the left. So players have to think and look at the background if they want to know where is that little guy. :)

saggiosoft 2013-04-29 15:57

Good graphics, sound and atmosphere... controls can be better. A good entry.

lythom 2013-04-29 17:45

Hi ! here is some feedback about the entry.
What I loved : atmosphere, efforts on animation
What could be improved :
- fight system (either a complete fight system or a simple "one button" would have been better instead of a complex with no depth one)
- I don't really see the relation with the theme
- graphics (are very good !) but could be improved with more consitency (a strong and common graphic style)
Thanks for the game !
(Bt the way, if you like story-telling, you could like mine !)

khaldrin 2013-04-29 20:23

Nice athmosphere and the particle effects were amazing and pretty cool. I really liked the spooky music and the sound effects. As for me, the combat did not fit well into the whole thing. I would have liked it better whent it just been a "semi-interactive-story". Liked the ambiguity at the end.

ptsnoop 2013-04-29 20:24

Great graphics (including character animation), great atmosphere. I'd have liked a longer storyline.

onzephyr 2013-04-29 22:34

Nice visuals and atmospheric sound. I was getting into the story but I seemed to die quickly. felt like a mix of samorost meets Peter and the wolf.

Magnus 2013-04-30 01:55

Lythom, the game is minimalist because it takes the most complex game genre ever made (roguelikes) and puts it in a 3x3 room with one basic "potion" item, and some insanity to fit in with the tiny room idea. I should probably add that to the description.

Also, just played it through again, got to day 42! It's super fun once you know all the hidden details.

Magnus 2013-04-30 01:58

Whoops, totally just commented on someone else's game thinking I was at my own entry. Oh man, shouldn't have stayed up all night.

realyuniquename 2013-04-30 13:39

Very nice atmosphere. Enjoyed the story.

zatyka 2013-04-30 19:44

Great job on the atmosphere. Everything blended together quite well. I wish it were a bit longer though.

dustystylus 2013-05-01 09:47

Beautiful mood and sound. Bit confused by the combat at the end.

rujomarco 2013-05-02 14:49

really nice visual athmosphere and sound. a little bit less for the gameplay and the fun. still a very good entry.
