Can't even play it... :c

For something so simple to actually invoke an emotional response... you really hit the mark in terms of theme and mood. Well done.

kunonooni 2013-04-29 04:08

The was really powerful. Good use of theme. Congrats on completing your first LD!

Can you actually host it somewhere? Try newgrounds or kongregate, or setup an html in that drop box. Otherwise I won't be able to play it :(

lpcustom 2013-04-29 05:03

I agree, this speeds volumes in a simple way.

soundboy 2013-04-29 05:10

Thanks for checking out my game guys! I'm adding a Kongregate link for those that needed another way to access it.

Struck an emotional chord with me. Nicely done!

Very nice effort! The music and mood are great, and the 'plot' too.

A few bugs, including one that forced me to restart. I became stuck in a wall.

Overall a great little game, totally worth my time.

The best part is the slowing down music.

orangepascal 2013-04-29 06:17

some issues with collisions, but they didn't harm the experience :) liked it!

sparkleswirl 2013-04-29 06:29

I did not expect the ending. Well done!

panda313 2013-04-29 06:30

I liked it. Can't be more in the theme. Simple and efficient. good job.
On default, I feel like I want more, I want to explore more of the idea of playing the whole life

spierek 2013-04-29 06:51

Very neat, I liked how nicely the title of the game reflects the gameplay.

waynetron 2013-04-29 07:00

Well done on changing the music. Good idea.

tahooey 2013-04-29 08:24

Really nice, bit depressing but nice!
I loved how to music went with it as well

gertjohnny 2013-04-30 00:13

I'm really looking forward to my 50th birthday now - no one said there would be flying!

kidevil 2013-04-30 19:13

Super simple, but really well executed. Cool idea and made me want to play right to the end :)

webravenz 2013-04-30 19:14

nice idea for the "story", but level design could be more intersting for much fun ;)

diventurer 2013-04-30 19:16

Very nice game. Have to admit I remarked the 'die' feature. Then laughed at the 'fly' feature. :)
Good job!

khaldrin 2013-04-30 19:18

Nice overall concept. Like the idea of adding certain aspects and abilities as the game progresses (and taking them away again later on). And: wheeeee Flying at age 50! Great first entry :)

elbowroom 2013-04-30 19:57

It was interesting to play. It felt like you put some thought into it.

exclamation_mark 2013-05-01 23:53

Non-trivial, thought through,bug free, in theme - I can hardly believe it's your first entry! Good job! Although this is so deep it's a risky entry - some may find it too sad to rate good o,O

zatyka 2013-05-02 23:06

Nice use of the theme. The music really helped the atmosphere. Interesting little game.

playvue 2013-05-02 23:08

Wow. Very deep. Fantastic job at adding feeling to a game while maintain "minimalism"! Grat job!

thijsku 2013-05-02 23:08

Congratulations with finishing your first Ludum Dare! It's gameplay wise kind of basic, but I like the fact that you get- or lose features. The ageing was a great part of the game!

Good job.

kefir 2013-05-02 23:09

Nice simple platformer! With so sad ending :(

johnnysix 2013-05-02 23:10

Bonus points for theme and audio - the complexity of the levels and music increasing and decreasing over stages, well done. :)

hamumu 2013-05-02 23:11

Ha... I remember when I turned 30 and my face finally grew in. This is a bit disturbing, especially the last level. But I guess that's how it goes (hopefully not at 80, though, I mean come on modern technology!). I'm really impressed overall... the levels are pretty crappy, no offense (no real challenge or anything terribly interesting to do), but the overall content and... message? I don't know... makes up for it, and makes it well worth playing through.

goerp 2013-05-11 15:26

Good job!

A little story most people can see in its entirety, some different (d)evolving types of movement.
And the music matched the game (good thing that the levels weren't that hard because the music could get annoying I think).

finefin 2013-05-12 13:20

I love the concept. put some more hours of work in polishing the graphics and you'll have a really amazing game.

ddlyheadshot 2013-05-17 16:18

That was quite depressing, really moving and quite powerful all at once! A great contemplation on the futility of life...
