Sorry, no Android here.

First off: I am really not sure whether I'm playing this game right. "To do this, you just click on the right word in the right place at the right time." is easier said then done - what makes a word be right, and when is the "right time"? Is there only one way to play the game? I am pretty confused.

The presentation is nice. I like the music (thanks for pointing me to a generator I didn't know!). I think it could benefit from new sound effects and better feedback in general, for example telling me whether my click was right or not and when a new sentence appears. A timer might've helped too!

In fact, clicking on a tag activates a memory in connection with the place. Each new memory brings new tags that will enable the player to unlock new memories.

There are several ways to reach the end of the game. The game is not linear at all because the same tag can be obtained with different memories.

Yes cgmusic is a great tool... and I'm sorry to have developed a game exclusively for mobile. But I really like this type of interface...

No android here. :( Would you be able to make a gameplay video, perhaps?

obscuremoon 2013-08-26 20:35

I love this. I was confused for about a minute before I realised that was going on. It's brilliant and works perfectly on my Nexus 7 :D

Tried it on the emulator and it worked.
I will try it on my phone later.

I try to make a gameplay video.
The game works on any Android device since the OS version 2.2...

I like this. I seem to keep running out of new words to click on way before I see any kind of ending but it keeps pulling me back in for another try, which is always a good sign.

Audio is nice! (at least Windows port would help you getting more ratings)

shmarah 2013-08-27 19:32

Looks like so much fun! I wish I had an android!

loxo 2013-08-27 19:35

I like the concept and the atmospheric music. Maybe you could have done a web based application.

rejome 2013-08-27 19:42

Interesting experience! Nice concept and music!
Works on my Galaxy S3, but sometimes I feel like I can't tap a word because another one is overlapping it...
Is there an end?

brejlounek 2013-08-27 19:55

My android phone is quite slow, so the game was a little laggy... I uncovered a few lines, I don't thnik I got the whole story, 10 seconds isn't much time. Make a windows port! :D

obscenelytrue 2013-08-27 21:18

@rejome
Indeed, there may be conflicts between two tags.
Yes there is a kind of end...

@Brejlounek
Sorry... my code is not sufficiently optimized.

I haven't android, but it seems to be great. I like the new interpretation of narrativ exploration. (The cloud word look like heavy rain system)

vandriver 2013-08-29 14:07

There's not a lot of feedback to direct what works and doesn't. I ended up just rapidly clicking all the words I could see hoping for some new effects. Not sure if I won or lost!

The idea seems cool, and the memories were entertaining. Just a bit confusing.

thermite 2013-08-30 02:28

Really clever use of the theme, nicely done!

killerstarbunny 2013-08-30 21:11

Solid 4 the game was amazing but really needs a windows port

drkrunk 2013-08-30 22:33

You should have put a Windows or Web version.

matthias_zarzecki 2013-08-31 16:10

Android-only? bold choice. Hope it gets found!

larzan 2013-09-03 11:58

Interesting game idea!

almax27 2013-09-07 21:03

Nice idea, but clicking on specific words was a bit difficult.

dalbinblue 2013-09-12 00:49

I really like the non-linearity of the game. I got stuck after a while, and couldn't figure out what to do with "Alex" or get much use out of "kitchen" which is probably where I needed to put together to proceed. Really innovative idea.
