Fantastic. I loved the two screen approach and I was amazed at how well it worked. You really should continue this.

Fantastic. I loved the two screen approach and I was amazed at how well it worked. You really should continue this.
Wow, excellent work! I saw a kiwi note and then the browser windows just closed. Felt like I was ripped out of the world. I'll be playing this more...
Weird but fun.
Incredible, such a strange concept to play a game on 2 open browser windows but this was really cool. Great piano track and I loved the extended info on the kiwi, hilarious!!
Wow, what an interesting idea. Very well executed as well. The opposing graphics are quite nice and effective. I'd love to see an expanded post-compo version.
That was amazing, first time i play something like this !
Reminds me of Not-pron for some reason. I like it, although that key really is a problem. Was the fruit supposed to do anything?
I'm still scratching my head at how you did the two window approach. This reminds me of the first time I played Myst.
I’m only getting black windows even after allowing local storage (firefox 20, linux).
I really wanted to play it. It looks very interesting but I click in the menu screen and nothing happens :|
More of this please. My winner.
Wow pretty inventive implementation. I like how you managed to get a two-sided view of a 'single world' that way.
Very charming art style as well.
I'm not really into this game genre but this one caught me for quite a while. Haven't finished it though.
Muito bom!
dude, seriously this is awesome. Fantastic theme use
RUN!
Really cool game, interesting how you got two browser windows to communicate. Really interesting way to play a game. Nice job on the ending too.
Fantastic concept!
That was different, very nice!
Wow, whole new level to minimalism, way deeper than most of LD26's entries. Congrats!
Nice job - definitely top marks for innovation, visuals and theme. I'd like to see this taken further, for sure.
Great, unique use of the theme. Great, unique game all together.
Really clever.
F#CK KIWI!!!
Amazing game you have here, man! I also like the music theme, same as a old game of mine.
5/5 for you man. Real awesome implementation of an innovative idea.
The concept was really good and you knew how to take advantage of it correctly.
Nice music, nice ambience. Excellent work pal!
As with Myst and Riven, the logic of most puzzle elements eludes me. Impressive twin screen usage, but couldn't the effect have been achieved by two canvases side by side? Too bad you couldn't finish the game, I like the concept, mood and graphics though.
Didn't know this was possible at all! :) Very cool concept!
Haunting entry. I'd love to see more adventure games from you in this style. (Not necessarily in two browser windows, but the dreamlike aesthetic and surreal gameplay.)
I "click to begin", but nothing happens (using Chrome 26.0.1410.64 on Windows 7).
Very interesting game. I'm not sure I got the full gist of it though. I saw the interaction between the worlds (such as the water) and I was able to find the key. But, then the game just kind of ended. Despite my confusion, the concept was fantastic. Nice job on linking the two windows. Audio matched the dreamy atmosphere as well.
Oh it is so challenging and hard for my weak brain and luck of concentration :) But idea with two windows is just brilliant! 5/5 innovation!
Dayum. I love adventure games and mysterious stuff, and the two browser screens gimmick gets full points for originality. Beautiful graphics, beautiful audio, definitely minimalist.
The only bad things I found were a couple of typoes ("this strange fruit if dripping water"), and
SLIGHT SPOILERS
The ending was a bit abrupt. But I guess you had to end it somehow.

All in all, one of the most original and atmospheric entries I've played so far.
I really liked the two world concept in this adventure game. Technically, the two browser concept is an impressive accomplishment, but I really wouldn't want to open two browsers every time to play a game. I could see this game being a hit on a two screen system like the 3DS, but unfortunately it only allows one screen for input.
GaTechGrad: True, doing this was a great way to try some interesting concept, but it's not a viable game at all
I'd like to take issue with that. What you have here is definitely a viable game, as I would define the concept. It just needs a more involved ending (even just a "you manage to escape from this strange world" message would work for this type of story).
Novel use of local storage and the two tabs/windows. I hadn't seen that trick before. I wish there was more! It was cool to bring stuff across the gap to see how it would behave in the other world.
I'd love to see this concept fleshed out more. It's a rather unique approach, and fun to explore. The ending felt rushed, but as you mentioned, so were you toward the end of the competition. Good job!
Very very very beautiful. I especially enjoyed the overall mood created by the almost grotesque graphics and atmospheric background track. ★★★★★
Cool stuff! nice job!
Very unique. Took me awhile to win because I couldn't figure out what to do, but otherwise I enjoyed it.
Maybe a bit short but I absolutely loved the use of two browser windows as part of the gameplay mechanics. Would definitely love to see a post-compo version with even more puzzles.
Great out of the box thinking. I would have liked to see more interaction between the worlds.
Jacques the kiwi!!! XD I really loved the idea of interaction between two windows!!! You should just add a few more things to discover before ending I think ^^ Great job anyway
great ending
Thanks everyone for playing, commenting and voting <3
