Gotta admit, that was pretty funny
That gave me a laugh!
hahaha funny entry
I'm glad you guys enjoy, but I'm starting to worry that all of you are throwing yourselves off the cliff!
thank you.
That was really deep, honestly. I'm glad you mentioned there were two endings, because, like everyone else I'm sure, I jumped off the cliff at first. But that was a really nice ending as well. :)
peggiosoft: thank you!
BipoleMoment: yeah, it's a little rough, because you want to just release your creations into the wild and let people walk away with what they find for themselves, but at the same time... I'm proud of my work and want people in the competition to experience everything the game has to offer. Ultimately, I'm just happy if anyone connects. :-)
That made me so angry. haha
HAHAHAHA, I wasn't paying attention! Good stuff! Hahaha...
Very funny!, and little bit cruel haha
Hehe. I need that. =)
the old classic of daring someone not to press that button. I killed him a few times. good stuff.
I like it (both endings). +1 for the Gattaca reference.
This made me laugh! 5/5 would hit space bar again.
I liked the concept a lot - I think better graphics and audio would make the experience a lot more powerful though.
Uh... lol?
Ha ha ha. :)
Perfect for the theme. I think this is the only game I've played so far that has something to say beyond the game itself.
Thank you all for taking the time to play and leave your feedback. I hope all of you are enjoying in some way!
igrowbeards: I agree, and I think I would like to develop this one further toward the original vision in the near future.
lol, i`m... dead... D=
it`s kind of a thing to think about... life and all that stuff xD
Deep dude. Well done :)
Love it. Reminds me of my own, actually.
I have to admit, I laughed out loud once it put me in the game. I think you win the humor in LD!
Very honest and humble game!
I think perhaps you should've had some opening dialogue to explain what was going on. Make it clear that this guy is standing at the edge of a cliff, about to jump to his own demise. I assume many players, like myself, at first assumed this was going to be some strange platformer adventure, so we press space to see what happens, but the game just ends. This leaves us to believe that you were just having some fun with us like many LD entries do. However, upon reading that there were two endings, it became immediately clear to me how much more depth there was to this game. The dialogue that you eventually experience may have been a bit cheesy, but it was effective. I feel like I was entering the mind of someone standing at the edge of a cliff and introspectively examining his life and the choices he has made, and after this introspective journey I was able to walk away from the cliff and resume my life. It's a shame that many who play this might not get to experience that simply because you failed to make it clear what the gameplay mechanic actually is. Maybe if instead of "press space to move right" you had said "press space to jump off the cliff, do nothing to wait a while more" Many more players would've had a more meaningful experience, without you having to hold their hand and explain "There is another ending that you guys are missing." I think you had you made some small change like that, you would've created quite a meaningful interactive narrative. As it stands, you're just a bit short of that, in my oppinion.
Some other thoughts: I wish the game had music as well, but I understand you didn't have time for that. The text seemed to take a bit too long, especially in the beginning, but maybe I'm just a fast reader. Interesting concept, I look forward to your future LDs.
Fritzendugan: Thank you for the detailed response!
I'm definitely learning a lot from this experience and everyone's comments. Please believe me when I say I am taking them to heart.
Not really funny, but a deep experience... I would just leave it as it is, maybe with better graphics and some sound. I'd say it doesn't need any more introductions or better instructions. If you jump of the cliff more than once and don't know what else to do, that's your own fault... ! ;)
Pretty funny haha. I lost my one life, i'm sad :(
Is that it? :) Well. Funny :)
Theme to the limit, I like it. Good game.
!!! I made my goal of 100 games rated! ^_^'
I think I got everyone here; if I missed anyone, please let me know! See if I can get in a couple extra between now and the deadline. :-D
