The Narration is brilliant, awesome work :D

Props to name-dropping Mondrian.

I feel like I'm playing art. Apparently because I AM, but in a good way. I noticed a lot of other games referencing whoever this art guy is, but yours seems most 'inventive'.

The gravity mechanic is awesome. Don't take this the wrong way, but I always expect something hilarious yet probably-not-that-clever from you (I'd like to think we're kindred spirits, in that regard). This, on the other hand, is genuinely clever.

The graphics where not minimalistic and a little off with the theme but at the same time beautiful.

Great game! You really made me laugh in the beginning at the instructions :D

I was not expecting that narration. At all.
Top class!

Two nice game mechanics in one. Was a fun way to explore the Mondrian style world.

Great concept, i love rotating gravity!

Good one! Kinda wished that you could change direction of gravity when falling, but then again building a mental map of the level bit by bit and then trying to navigate it perfectly is what makes this work.

Thank you for the funny tutorial ! Good job !

Great take on the theme. It's nice to interact with the art in this way. Don't worry, the funny voices are great!

I like the mechanic a lot. Polish suggestions:

- I don't really like the other blocks of color when the exit is always blue? Do they server a purpose?
- Be nice if the gravity had acceleration vs constant speed

I think you should polish the hell out of this and release a bunch of levels. Could be fun. Lots of things you can do with it.

One of the best games I have played. Keep up the good work.

The tutorial makes the game.

Very good game, nice turn/gravity mechanic, good to have a scripted narrative tutorial (though the gravity-button-screams are so funky annoying :D).

Very fun, audio was really loud at parts but didn't detract from the humour of it all, presentation schemes were very nice too, did enjoy this a lot :)

hypp 2013-05-06 18:27

Very fun, and challenging

smilingcat 2013-05-06 19:04

Very nice! Good game mechanics, and excellent use of the theme.

Nice tutorial! The idea is great and very nicely executed.

One of the best games I've played in this Ludum Dare - certainly one of the most polished and complete.

I have one issue, and only one - the final stage is a freaking MAZE. XD Finding the exit takes a lot of trial and error - it'd be useful if there was some indication which way to go for the exit.

Nice game,very minimalist! Well done :)

jorjon 2013-05-06 20:05

Good job on the narration!

kunonooni 2013-05-06 22:18
