I tried to run it, but it closed right away. I think it said something like "Uncaught Error: Unable to load library std.dll," but it was a little hard to tell.

Uncaught exception - load.c(237) : Failed to load library : std.ndll
I can't run this.
Thanks guys, It should be fixed now ;)
The game is stuck on the "Tales of the last Soul" screen right at the beginning here.
This game is great. I love it, simple and yet effective, also with really nice depth.
The only problem, I found it a bit hard, especially with the collision detection on corners, it was really unforgiving. Not that it's bad, it's amazing! Kudos to you.
I like the audio a lot, there was a bit of a glitch in the sound when changing levels but I'm not sure if it's because I was running it emulated on Linux. For all other Linux developers/users out there, this game works perfectly under wine ;)
Nice graphics. Sounds are a bit too harsh, and music a bit too up-beat. Some mellow tunes might have worked better. To The Top level seems unbeatable. As fast as the game would let me, couldn't reach the last time piece.
I've got the same problem as Choupom. Can't get past the intro screen. :/
Thanks for your reviews !
@Choupom : Try to click on the soul ;)
@Red Mike : Yeah, music definitely needs some improvements, I used autotracker.py and this is the best I got, for the next LD, I'll learn to make some music by myself :D
All the levels are beatables, I tested them myself, if you're having a hard time, try to stick a little bit more on the left if you have to turn left for example, only that can make a good difference :)
Didnt rate since I got stuck on the intro screen.
Nice theme, grpahics and music. Unfortunately, the wind power up makes the game really hard sometimes. Still, nice entry!
Hm... won't run on Win7 x64. It's stuck at the startup screen... Didn't rate so far =/
Thanks for your reviews, for people who got stuck on the title screen, have you tried to click on the soul (I know I should have make that more obvious) ? If so, what exactly happened ?
Best game around so far! :)
But pay attention: on some computers it doesn't work (Like my netbook)!
Really enjoyed it anyway, even if i cant beat a level (but games MUST be this hard)! :(
I managed to play it. Nice graphics! I'm a fan of games with an isometric point of view :) definitely kinda challenging and I also agree with whoever said it needs mellower music. Nicely done!
Liked it!
However I get a small glitch:
The soul always starts moving(when I click) in the last direction where I lost(I fall of the plateforme right, when i restart, it goes right).
Aside from that it was good!
Screenshots look cool but it doesn't get past the loading screen. Any diagnostic info I can give you?
Very entertaining! Some minor bugs here and there (already mentioned by others) but nothing gamebreaking. Got a permanent framerate drop on the cleansing path which made it much harder to play. The controls could actually work well with a gamepad. I agree that some more atmospheric music would have been a better fit. Nice one!
Considering the number of people getting stuck on the first screen, I added the possibility to go ingame by pressing a key (except Space) instead of the mouse. I hope that will fix it, cause I can't do much more :(
Nice graphics and sounds, but it's quite difficult to move around with the mouse.
This is really really nice, very fluid and I like the overall concept!
Mouse control feels a little bit imprecise at times, but besides from that, awesome!
I wish I had thought of this. The sound and music is really well done. I got to the spiral and I almost won then I had to give up for now.
I really like the idea and the execution, but the music gets annoying really quickly. Also, after some time I wasn't able to press space anymore, so I had to restart the game.
Very nice presentation and good sound.
What got a bit frustrating were the controls. What always got me was pressing space bar to start and at that point I had already began pressing the mouse for movement but because it happened before starting the level the input was not registered. Maybe starting the level when beginning with movement would be better.
Amazing presentation, love the transition animation when the player dies. Very challenging game, doesn't leave much room for error, even in the early stages.
I didn't really like the controls, but nice music, and a cool atmosphere ;)
Nice graphics, but too bad it was laggy to the point of being unplayable. 2/5, weak entry.
Looks really fine ! good job !
Fairly fun, but I think it should be a little bit more forgiving. I died so many times trying to turn a corner but just falling off instead - or maybe I'm just useless at it.
Hard as hell but I like it :)
Reminded me of Marble Madness. I liked your stylistic choices. For example the way the soul enlarges before shrinking into nothing at the end of a level, and the diminishing white border representing time. Nice job.
Very hard game, great graphics, loved it. I featured it in my Ludum Dare 27 video compilation, if you'd like to check it out :), http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GZNeIKxvyg
game ran just fine for me. really nice visuals. took a try or two to get the controls down. but played great once I did. Nice game.
One of my favorite games so far! The concept and sound is exellent!
Nice work with the mood - the art was very consistent and helped convey a good atmosphere. One thing you might consider is having some feedback when you are getting dangerously close to the edge - the isometric perspective makes it hard to judge sometimes until it is too late. I did crash on the second "red" level, unfortunately :( Good work!
