Going to the zip just leads me to google docs and the files within the zip... switch to dropbox maybe?

I had no idea what was going on in this game for a while. But...I spent a lot of time in it not knowing what was going on =)

grimgary 2013-08-26 05:17

^ Ignore that comment =/ Had two windows open.

I just get a blank, white screen when I run it. I can hear the music, though. I'm on Win7.

grimgary 2013-08-26 05:24

Very Fezzy feeling! Liked that. Had a little trouble in the beginning because the door didn't like to appear and I was running out of land to...land on. But I enjoyed the experience I was given!

megamasterx 2013-08-26 05:29

Don't worry, I didn't feel comfortable with the theme too. Cute!

ranf 2013-08-26 05:32

That was great! I really liked the music and the atmosphere created.

namrog84 2013-08-26 05:50

Was sad but brilliant. If only I could jump a few pixels higher!!!

Excellent and beautiful game

Interesting audio, I liked the mood. A good deal too pretentious in the story, sort of like Braid. Good job nonetheless.

Fantastic game! Very atmospheric and relaxing music.
The levels were increasingly more difficult, but not so hard they needed too many attempts, and they were increasingly more enjoyable as well :)

Great music. The '..his reason to live' level was too tough for me, and I gave up.

archaeometrician 2013-08-27 07:37

Very nice game. It's kinda sad... I made it thru the end. The music was amazing. The gameplay too. Just perfect to tell the story. Great work ! Thank you !

supersammy7000 2013-08-27 07:49

Very good.

Dear manabreak:
The day that I can make a game like yours, I will be very happy. Imagine, I'm really happy by playing your game!!
Dear manabreak, you just won a fan.

This game is a piece of art, with beautiful graphics and impressive music. The gameplay es pretty fun, and the level design is ingenious (lacks of balance maybe)...

I give you a modest prize for your game, a Programmer Fun Art:

At first I thought it was just a atmospheric story game, so the platforming seemed a little, harder, but beautifully as the game progressed it turned into a genius puzzle platformer, whilst retaining the brilliant mood setup in the beginning. A simplistic game but with endless charm and genius!

manabreak 2013-08-27 11:21

At this point, I want to say thank you to everyone who has played my game! Your heart-warming comments mean the world to me and make it all worthwhile. <3

Great game! Loved it all, took some time to understand that the door showed up after 10 seconds and not after remove all blocks ;)

jellyman64 2013-08-27 14:55

Fun game man.

adventureislands 2013-08-27 21:33

Nice game, thought the puzzling with falling blocks was great. Cute game with a sad story.

erhune 2013-08-28 15:35

Very nice and interesting ambiance, with a good balance of graphics/audio/story. Some levels were a bit too tough for me (especially because of the strong horizontal inertia), but I liked it overall!

sittaman 2013-08-28 15:35

A bit strange, since I couldn't find out what was happening. Some levels has a good difficult level and the jump could be a bit higher. Also, the sound is good so is the mood.

arrow-x 2013-08-29 11:19

really good game ...good sound and fun to play

Spotline 2013-08-29 11:37

Very cool mood, maybe a bit too indie-emo for me though

lopiky1 2013-08-29 11:38

Unhandled exception on startup, probably the OpenGL requirement.

muciojadpl 2013-08-29 12:05

Very solid entry ;) The sound has good mood for me :) Good work overall.

ezolotko 2013-08-29 13:46

doesnt start

endurion 2013-08-29 15:55

Worked fine on my other machine.

Innovation on new lows :)

Nice little game, the floaty controls are somewhat annoying.

paperblurt 2013-08-30 16:56

OMG how cute!

frozencow 2013-08-30 22:12

Hi again Manabreak! I like that the 10 seconds are implicit. It took a while for me to realize the door will only show up after a while (instead of appearing when walking somewhere). Had a good vibe and like liked the narration. I think rotating block a tad bit (only minimally) when falling would make the falling effect amazing (it did sometimes already). The window closing automatically at the end felt magical somehow :D.

manabreak 2013-08-31 03:32

@FrozenCow Wow, my exact thought about the blocks was "Hmm, it's a bit boring when the block just... falls." You're right, giving it a small 'pre-torque' would make it much cooler. Maybe in the sequel! ^_^
