Those games that you can only play once... Nice!
I don't get it. There was nothing in this game except horizontal movement.
Thank you.
Danggit! I was so close...
Excellent game though. I thought of making something like this myself, actually.
Loved the song. Pretty weird, though.
Interesting. The "like life this game can only be played once" part is awesome. Music was the best I've heard here so far. Good job!
The music synced perfectly with my playthrough, that made it really cool. I think I almost made it to the end but the game froze. Oh well, can only play once and I respect that. :P
pure art XD plays with your patience and faith ;)
Very good music and I also liked the subversive gameplay.
Please change your Download Link to Download (Java) or sth., otherwise nobody knows in advance if it will run on their computer or not.
Aww, I wasted my time...
Genius! There's nothing much in term of graphics, but the concept is fantastic! Good job!
I played it twice. I lost both times. :-(
I really LOVE it! It's beautiful because it's unexpected and you can play only once. My favorite game, great job man :)
Is "Every journey comes to an end" is the right ending? Because I didn't really could do something on this screen.
As for the game - this one is just brilliant.. Music creates the right mood, and those movement and swapping things are just INSANE.
Thanks for the reference of the music track! You rock! Absolutely all-five rating!
Nice game :)
Amazing entry! That mind-blowing simple games...
I barely read the texts though, I was in a rush because of the time limit
Darn, didn't make it. But it was very intriguing experience regardless. The music was great.
Cool! I completed the game! It was fun figuring out what to do =).
Hey Cthulhu thanks for your comment on my entry! It seems I already played your game, it was one of the coolest experiences and I recommended it to some others. I got to around the part where the black was expanding (or I was zooming into the world) but then my time was up (sadly the game crashed, but I assume it was on the moment my time ended). I tried some ways to start the game again but alas. Nice touch ensuring that people can only play it once. :)
That was cool. I got the cheat from you so I could really beat it. It was interesting though considering not a lot of players would have beaten it. Really nice work.
Haha, I can't help but smile while playing this.
The game is not on the screen, the game is in your mind.
Enjoying the music, watching the arrows go by... thinking, are you moving at all or are the arrows going backwards?
This is so brilliant and so simple. Wonderful job!!
The "only playable once" mechanic reminds me of a game I played some years ago, where you had to choose whether or not you shot a man tied to a post :)
In this game I liked the use of this mechanic coupled to a timer. It gives a bit of pressure so when you just go right at first for a while you quickly stop and think whether it's really the solution... and if you understand quick enough then you have a chance to finish the game. Really enjoyed it ! And the graphics and audio add a lot to the atmosphere. Well done !
Wow, this was *really* awesome! The moment when you realise that going right is not right (pun not intended) and suddenly the game changes direction completely (again..) was really great! Such a simple concept but so much innovation!
