Looks amazing, I'll come back and play it once we are allowed to vote! :D

Very entertaining. The combination of fixed position and parallax background elements worked nicely. When I finally realized how to solve the puzzle I felt a genuine sense of accomplishment. Nicely done.

linuus 2013-12-16 07:05

The graphics are simply fantastic.. Love the running animation and the day/night effect!

alanzucconi 2013-12-16 13:22

Ma allora non sono l'unico Italiano a fare Ludum Dare! :D

dsoft20 2013-12-16 14:39

Very nice graphics!

Great sound, insane game!
well done Giovanni!

Genius, took a while to figure out. I really like the atmosphere the music creates.

calciumtrice 2013-12-17 00:17

A nice piece of work! Graphics are gorgeous, love the pixel art and animation, the sense of scale and the time transitions are all very nicely done. Combined with the background sound it all creates a really great atmosphere.

Took me a few tries to figure out the game mechanic but made it to town eventually.

Really good job!

sanojian 2013-12-17 07:20

I really like the graphics. Wish there was a little bit more to do.

ziomorti 2013-12-17 13:23

This is something that really represents Ludum Dare. Loved the idea and the execution. Awesome.

capro 2013-12-17 20:25

Brilliant game!

matx 2013-12-17 20:26

Really nice graphics (although I would have liked a bit more work on the background, but that just polish) and brilliant idea.

It took me some time to understand how it worked, but I was really amazed when I did. Great job!

Nice graphics, only "game" i've given a high "mood" score to. I noticed if you started walk left the days would take much longer than walking right.

mystakin 2013-12-19 02:19

Once I figured out the result of which direction I chose, this game became one of my favorites so far. Awesome graphics, and the solution is so simple but not immediately obvious. Great work!

ammorechicks 2013-12-19 09:13

Good animations and sound. Intriguing...

loxo 2013-12-19 11:26

Great game with great graphics and audio! I like that it looks so simple and than you need a few attempts to figure out how the game works and the puzzle is solved.

thestolenbattenberg 2013-12-20 10:14

This was amazing, I loved the music and the graphics were great, nice job!

lordjosephdeburg 2013-12-20 10:18

Interesting game concept and arty. Took me a while to figure out the puzzle but this is a solid entry. Well done!

colapsydo 2013-12-20 10:19

Hopefully there is no nasty desert animals.
I like the final "whoo".

glovecat 2013-12-20 10:21

Great game! and great idea! It took me 3 tries complete the game!

czepta 2013-12-20 10:23

Really cool great work! Love the day night cycle you pulled it off nicely. Your art is actually really nice and does the job well. All in all a great effort!

cwkx 2013-12-20 10:29

Really fun little puzzle, very innovative, full marks! :D

zerkruemler 2013-12-20 11:34

Nicely done. Although the player has few choice what to do, the result of the actions is the difference.
Nice done. I enjoyed to have a quite 'special' game mechanics.

beavlgames 2013-12-20 11:51

Nice sword-and-sworcery-like character design. Sound is good and puzzle is clever. Took two tries to figure this one out. Enjoyable entry, congrats!

arkrothe 2013-12-20 12:00

Great atmosphere and a simple but innovative puzzle game.

pomb 2013-12-20 12:56

Cunning. Once I had figured out the mechanic though it got boring walking the whole time. Maybe other elements that changed your health status could have been cool. Or simply other animations you could make just to keep the interest high.

feizenbara 2013-12-20 13:46

Great!

shaunlebron 2013-12-20 14:55

Really good art theme. I drooled at the color transitions between day and night. The running animation is great. Really good minimalism on the art. And nice victory dance at the end, haha.

diptoman 2013-12-20 17:59

Took me a while to figure out the game. Great job with the art and idea!

archaeometrician 2013-12-20 19:15

Cool game ! Nice graphics !

lilinx 2013-12-20 21:12

Ha! It was fortunate I read in the comment that it was possible to beat this game, so I took the time to figure out the solution. You managed to design a clever puzzle that goes with an interesting atmosphere, congratulations.

sekaru 2013-12-20 21:42

Lovely design and graphics. However either I was either having framerate issues or the running animation was generally choppy.

spierek 2013-12-21 14:44

This game was quite clever, kudos :)

m-gryko85 2013-12-21 19:50

I loved audio, also very interesting game idea.

dustystylus 2013-12-23 16:10

Absolutely superb. A brilliant concept and solid execution. Love the pixel art and the background ambience is perfect. Well done indeed!

auto_suggestion 2013-12-23 23:37

Control of time was the crucial discovery. Once I understood that, I was led on only by the hope that whoever designed this game had left a reward for surviving so long. Lo and behold, my patience was rewarded with water. I enjoyed that initial discovery.

thevideogamemechanic 2013-12-24 00:05

Looks and sounds nice! Not really much interaction though, some more possibilities to affect outcome more would be nice. Overall its feels nice!

recursor 2013-12-24 16:08

Nice puzzle game with stylistic graphics. The audio adds to the atmosphere and is also well done.

xbelanch 2013-12-26 11:28

Pretty good game. I love the graphics and the day-night cycle. Very inspiring!

ayame9joe 2013-12-26 15:59

Interesting idea and amazing art!

van-noctar 2013-12-27 19:19

Innovate, but the controls is so repetitive...

ismyhc 2013-12-30 03:11

Great pixel art graphics!

isaacmarco 2013-12-31 16:20

very curious. I love how colorful it is and how easy it is to play

jomomomo 2014-01-03 17:50

Best audio I've seen in a game this LD. Good job

brainless-games 2014-01-04 20:32

I like the concept but would have liked a bit more to do. The graphics and sounds where really good.

rezoner 2014-01-06 08:41

I am a Dilbert! Very moody

jezzamon 2014-01-06 23:47

Wow, that's a really clever puzzle! I felt really cool when I figured it out :D

I think the graphics could have used a bit of a touch up, the main character's walk cycle was a bit weird, and he didn't seem as 'clean' as other pixel art I've seen in that style. Still thought it looked pretty good though.
