pretty neat! kinda goes against the theme though, in a way. oh well, very atmospheric

The music was great and the feeling while playing! :)

I like the emptyness of it, and how sparse everything else.

gman1012 2013-12-16 05:34

Yeah, I agree torcado94. I started out with the theme more in mind, but it snowballed in a different direction.

I felt like you did get across a sense of isolation, so if that's what you were going for you definitely succeeded. That said, a game about isolation feels a bit...empty.

I was definitely going for a sense of Isolation, but really I was just trying to get something out at all because this is my first time doing LD.

Tells an interesting story. It felt a little odd when the game ended (it was rather sudden, and after the speck separation I didn't initially realize that's where it ends), but cool none-the-less.

There actually was another message that was meant to play before the explosion. But I accidentally put them in the same event and so it disappears before you can see it.

You made something very interesting, but sadly there is not much of a replay value. The calming atmosphere is great. I like the concept behind it and played both version, because I was curious what's different. I think the original version is better, but maybe it's only because I played it first.

Really neat take on the theme. I haven't quite seen anything like this before. For some reason, I was half-expecting some kind of shocking twist where it turns out all the dots are planets or dots, I don't know why. XD

I liked it. Simple and compelling.

Well done.

I really like how you bend the theme. the experience is interesting, helped with good music and i like to create some kind of organism. if the others cell had personnality it would be cool to have all those thoughts confusing yours. Nice work!

A neat game. Very little resource, very good atmosphere =D

madflame991 2013-12-18 12:30

It's a very artistic approach of the theme. The atmosphere is mysterious and calming; it makes you keep on playing.

I like the minigame of making your own shape with the specks :)

Couldn't play, screen too big for my laptop.
