Yes.... K code! :)

Nice. I do like a good choose-your-own-adventure game!

Interesting to see a localized game in LD, that's new for me. :) However, it would have been nicer if it would be a choice first to select language, and not see both languages all the time which was a bit distracting actually. Except if I'd want to use this for language learning, of course.

A good textual game with very few words, great job! :)
As tonic said, it would be more practical to be able to choose a language though. It's a bit disturbing to read the same word twice. ;)

Adventures in stream of consciousness! Lots of funny moments.

I think combining the two dialogues makes it even more minimalist. A menu would upset it, I think.

But yes, it's confusing! :) Sorry for that.

Very minimalistic and interesting approach... but since actual gameplay seems very limited (most of the time there was just one possibility) you have points for idea only...

Going bilingual was another interesting thing, but I think it's effect is mostly negative

Would love to try it, but how can I start it?

skywilly 2013-04-30 08:39

Click on "Web" & "Play Online"
Don't Download the game, is the Source.

That's psychodelic one :)

Nice game, fits with the theme and good presentation. :)

PS : Et puis en francais ca fait plaisir !

Skywilly, great name! Funny game, it works in English really well, with the clever focus on short utterances. Made a nice rhythm to the work. many things I really liked here, good stuff.

Perhaps the most fast paced text adventure I've ever played.

haversack 2013-04-30 16:49

Awesome idea! Reminds me of an experiment I saw about image association.

Hugo boss :) + I am error - très sympathique! Beaucoup d'humour, un vrai plaisir à jouer. Et fascinant malgré le média minimal.

Quite interesting, and I liked the story, but I didn't really see many options - as far as I could see, most of the time there was only 1 option, although this could have been me not scrolling down enough.

fredericrp 2013-05-01 07:26

Quite an adventure, am I asleep or not ?
Well done with very few words !

arakhnor 2013-05-01 18:03

Nice game :) Good idea to localize it too!! Simple graphics, but I spend a good time on it

kgs0142 2013-05-02 08:19

Woo, text adventure game!
For the good old time lol.
I like it, good job! :p

captain_genial 2013-05-02 15:53

Fun game !
Great job

(simpa de voir un jeu en français )

Hi there, here's some feedback.
What I loved :
- theme approach
- dynamism (compared to traditionnal text-based games)
- humour
What imo could be improved :
- Have a separated french and english version, it's really confusing.
- find deeper designs to push the idea further (I have no idea right now but I'm pretty sure there are minimalistic things to be found)

Good overall, thanks for the game !

skywilly 2013-05-02 22:57

Thank you all ! It's very motivating !

patrik 2013-05-04 11:18

Great take on the theme!

Quite frankly it get's a bit annoying with the dual languages though (but it is a good thing that you localized it... perhaps a language option in the beginning would be better?)

spiridion 2013-05-04 19:55

You took a text adventure, already considered minimal by some, and minimalized it further! Bravo! Though it would have been slightly more minimal if it wasn't bilingual on every page (but I can imagine maintaining two localized versions might be harder than one)

tozy 2013-05-04 21:14

at first it's confusing, then it's funny :P

davedobson 2013-05-13 01:54

Really interesting story constructed from one or two-word pieces. I love the concept. Nice work.
