I like the graphics in the picture but it doesnt load for me.
its a good idea.

Very solid graphics, polish, and idea-wise. It's a bit buggy. though. I found myself falling off the map quite a bit.

dalbinblue 2013-08-26 03:32

Suese, can you tell me specific areas where you fell off? I thought I fixed all the collision bugs.

dalbinblue 2013-08-26 03:32

Lcass, did you get a specific error?

crashed due to formatexception. Nice graphics, what I could see.

i installed XNA distribuable. Game starts properly and i can pass dialogs but then it crashed right before gameplay (i guess) when the screen fades and characters says : "what's that falling out of reality"

i really wanted to play :-(
any advice or fix possible ?

Game crashes after into sequence. Nice graphics though.

@olafurw Do you have a specific error message or a stack trace? I have tested it on many computers and cannot reproduce the issue, though it sounds like a ton of people are having a problem.

Cute game, with some nice graphics. I was intrigued by the gameplay but there were some collision and AI bugs which ultimately made it a bit irritating to play. :(

Excellent game, clever puzzles and fantastic story. I liked the personalities of the characters. Tight controls (as tight as 48 hours permits), although I couldn't manage to launch the escape pod... maybe I just couldn't figure out the puzzle, but it seemed like it was a glitch.

Your update fixed the crash on my side ! thanks !

Nice idea and graphics, but like others've said, it was a little buggy. Has lots of potential though; nice work!

Nice game! Quite inventive! I love the atmosphere that gets out of the game. It gets quite hard at some point, you really have to manage time, the boxes, your little buddy... Nice experience overall. One thing that could be better would be that the boxes could have physics when you drop them, because right now they stay in the position you leave them, most of the time in the middle of the air. But I enjoyed it anyway, good job!

dalbinblue 2013-08-28 02:22

@LordHellMax, the boxes should only be staying in the air when time is stopped, if not, I've got another bug.

Great aesthetics, really enjoyed it. Good job :)

Nice, short, silly platformer. I liked the time-manipulation puzzles. I'd like to see something like this in a complete game. Thanks for putting it together!

Awesome entry, man. Loved the art style and sound. Great job on that regard. The puzzles were spot on too!

Very good game, loved the story, the writing, the graphics, audio and humour! There was a weird bug that meant after you wend off the left side of the screen you became invisible, but it wasn't game breaking :P

purplescape 2013-09-02 22:53

The characters you created are lovable. Every level was interesting. The graphics and audio are wonderful too, great game!

tobiasw 2013-09-02 23:05

That was pretty cool. I was especially happy about the stack-boxes-to-form-a-ladder mechanic - I was waiting for that since I saw the first box hovering in mid-air. The puzzles weren't very hard, but still interesting. I liked the graphics a lot, and the sound effects work quite well.

It's a pity you didn't put any music in! If you don't have enough time to whip up something yourself, you could try a generator like http://abundant-music.com. Normally I don't like generators too much, but I used this one in my game too and I'm pretty content with how that turned out.

The intro sequence and the humorous bits of plot add a lot to the experience. Good job all around!

PS: Where's the good end where I make it to the party? :'(

Very nice idea!

Unfortunately a bit buggy (you can walk off the first screen to the left and fall down).
