Really nice game, good design

mclogenog 2013-08-27 00:35

It's a very pretty game, but I found there just wasn't enough time to actually explore, and certainly not enough time to solve several of the puzzles in a row in 10 seconds. Re-solving the same puzzles each time also didn't help. It would be really interesting to play if there wasn't a time limit, though.

This is pretty interesting. I especially liked the art style, so good job on that. On minor thing that could be improved is possibly continuing to play the music while investigating things. Good job!

shugor 2013-08-27 02:07

The game is pretty nice, but it doesn't really fit with the theme and all. A game where you explore + a 10 second timelimit isn't a good combination. Other than that, the art style and music is pretty nice. Also, I haven't really found any glitches. Not important, but using both the spacebar and ctrl button seemed redundant and could have been combined into one button. (Only important when you gotta go fest)

Beautiful looking game. I couldn't make something this nice looking over time let alone 72 hours.

miguelsantirso 2013-08-27 07:38

Hint to people getting stuck and without time to progress: Explore the bathroom first ;)

gsmproductions 2013-08-27 10:38

I got everything quickly except how to actually open the door of the room XD But the game was fun, though a bit short (but then, LD ^_-). And I really like the design!

saintheiser 2013-08-27 11:53

It's incredibly awesome, man! Really enjoyed with it!

hd408 2013-08-27 13:07

Nicely done, also fits the theme.

torvik88 2013-08-27 15:10

Wonderful game and great design.

wccrawford 2013-08-27 15:14

That was a great game!

zkenshin 2013-08-27 16:29

This was a really fun entry with nice, non-obtrusive audio and a gorgeous art style.
I thought it fit the theme quite nicely.
Would be interested in an expansion of sorts.
Great job, guys!

lordjosephdeburg 2013-08-27 20:45

Fits the theme well and really well designed. I enjoyed it a lot!

gre 2013-08-27 20:45

OMG the graphics are so terrific!!!
The game story is also good.
Cheers.

paperblurt 2013-08-27 20:47

Wow..
Best game so far, I like the idea, the setup and graphics, even the theme ties in well.
Great job..

A bit hard, but that's the idea I guess.. just it doesn't get to repetative.

stenol 2013-08-27 20:48

Funny game. Good design !

rezoner 2013-08-27 20:49

Brilliant palette!

yoni 2013-08-27 20:52

Really intriguing, though I didn't manage to finish it even after getting the pills. Is there a walkthrough somewhere?

blizzil 2013-08-27 20:52

Cool take on the theme, i liked the idea of reliving 10 seconds over and over again and having to piece together where the antidote is hidden.

Art, Music & Game Design are great. I really had fun playing it (and I also liked the ending ^^).

entity2d 2013-08-27 20:56

Very good game, I love the graphic style.

boneloaf 2013-08-27 20:58

We like the game, got the Olives, but died alone before finding the antidote.

bvanschooten 2013-08-27 21:01

You turned the theme into a very nice plot! Altogether very well presented. I'd prefer to have just the spacebar instead of spacebar and ctrl. Also I seem to lose keyboard focus sometimes, so I have to click on the scenery to be able to move the character again.

nsadie 2013-08-27 21:04

I really liked this! It fit the theme very well, was fun to figure out and the art was fantastic!

sev_inf 2013-08-27 21:44

Really great game! Only the highest rates for you. Because of 10 seconds theme and time limitation I died a lot of times to fully explore the house. Game art is stunning. Level design is well planned. Game mechanic is smoth.

I think, if you'll make story line more detailed and increase time limit - it will be excellent game! Thank you!

ellipticaldoor 2013-08-27 22:25

Thanks for making this game.

kevinzuhn 2013-08-28 02:02

The art is stunningly good! I also enjoyed exploring the house and solving puzzles and mysteries.

I don't know if this is a bug, but the audio cut out every time I interacted with an object, and it was really jarring!

futuristteletex 2013-08-29 05:22

enjoyed the art mucho.. interesting idea.. could see this evolving into something cool if you played around a bit more with how the time works..

orni 2013-08-31 14:26

wow - I'm blown away by how polished this is
very well done

Omg, wrong post LMAO ^^^^ That's what I get for having 5 Ludum Dare pages opened. Sorry about that.

bombjack 2013-09-02 11:16

very fun game idea!

phocker 2013-09-02 20:53

great just not enuf time to finish -- nice artwork

n0_named_guy 2013-09-03 15:24

Will post video review when ready.

lokarunith 2013-09-03 23:45

Baah! After all the work I had to save him, he was just as ruthless (or worse) as the person who poisoned him. I really enjoyed this game.

teamwithoutlegs 2013-09-06 09:44

That was an amazing goog game, loved the art, and the gameplay

badgerpriest 2013-09-06 11:14

Really well-done mystery. It was tricky at times, but I think the pacing of the game was perfect.

One small issue I noticed though: after the ending scene, you're back in the house again, but with no objective. There should probably be some sort of end-game screen.

otus 2013-09-06 13:33

I really like the way the theme is integrated in the game! Having ten seconds to cure yourself, and gradually finding new clues on how to do so is really neat.

I also like the narrative, told by the scenery.

The game looks really really good, too.

Top notch work!

otus 2013-09-06 13:46

As an addendum to the previous comment, we identify ourselves with your graphical style and love your use of colors!

Again, great job :)

diningphilosopher 2013-09-06 14:36

Wow, great game!

seconddimension 2013-09-06 15:23

Great art style, and it did genuinely feel like a mystery that I wanted to solve, nice work

colapsydo 2013-09-06 15:43

I like the "Memento" structure of the story.
This game has a real tension during the whole adventure.
I had some trouble with the music, it's stopping every time I watch an item, is it intended ?

zerkruemler 2013-09-06 18:08

This is a very cool game. The mood was very intense and I was motivated to find all the hints to help the poor guy.
The ending is however a little bit strange

withoutpillow 2013-09-07 11:02

great entry! fantastic visuals and good use of the theme for the story and gameplay. but i didn't like using ctrl and space, used space would have sufficed. also, the music stops every time i interact, which i found quite frustrating. the music is good though, sets the mood.

megashroom 2013-09-07 18:01

Wonderful graphics, nice music, and it fits the theme perfectly.
(Thanks for the hint about the bathroom).

eggdestroyer 2013-09-09 11:30

The game looks nice and the idea is interesting. However, two major issues prevented me to have fun while playing it :
- The music pausing each time you investigate an item;
- The awkward "CTRL + SPACE" controls I keep mixing - why not only one button ?

permanente1600 2013-09-10 02:41

very outstanding art. i particularly love your color palette.
