Very nice looking!

The mouse controls are very touchy for me

The idea is well executed. These are the simple games that I love playing and leave them thinking in a slightly different way then when I started. I rated a ton of games already, but this one is my absolute favourite.

Nicely done.

Surprisingly relaxing. -____- I liked this a lot. =)

Recommended with headphones (my first time through I just used speakers), to catch all the little nuances in the sounds.

Also recommended is staring at the ceiling light (might only show on desktop version) and then spinning around as fast as possible so that the car noises swirl around you in living 3D. (But sometimes when looking straight up the camera seems to get "gimbal locked" or whatever that's called -- that was the only technical difficulty I noticed =).

Innovative idea. Although it has little gameplay, but it gives player a nice exprience with mediation and it's effect. I like the part when eyesight strech and you get into a spiritual world.

Nice one, the controls a bit sensitive but gets to relax me :)

Interesting idea and nice graphics.

Nice and relaxing, like the effects during the meditation. My workrave wasn't happy though with the constant button press :)

Nice idea, I like these different games a lot, especially when they are delivered right. Only complaint is the connection to the theme being a little bit thin. Other than that, well done!

Really simple idea but it was surprisingly calming. Liked the deep breathing sound that came up after a few seconds. Mouse controls were pretty rough in the web version. Good Job!

Very interesting idea!

pietro-ferrantelli 2013-12-18 06:08

Really nice idea, congratulations.

I get what the game was going for, but the crazy high mouse sensitivity throws off the feeling of peace. My stream viewers were divided over the Q+Y button combination, but I think it worked. This whole thing kind of reminds me of LSD Dream Simulator in a good way.

My only major feedback would be that the character (I'm assuming a human) controls like some kind of heavy construction vehicle. I think that if the controls were snappier and more human like instead of slow and incremental you could achieve a greater contrast between standing and meditating.

But overall - Interesting idea.

The mediationsequence was really nicely made. Got confused by the controls for a bit.

atomicvikings 2013-12-18 15:54

Never seen something like this before. It was rather interesting. good job!

brmassa 2013-12-19 04:42

relax the controls please! heheh

gameproducer 2013-12-19 15:55

I'm not sure if I played this correctly.. :)

before-light 2013-12-19 16:51

Thank alla of you, for playing, rating and commenting my game, it means a lot to me. If it says in the end you win, you played correctly.

undonedevs 2013-12-19 19:51

Very interesting concept, nice job!

euske 2013-12-20 10:46

I think I'm confused. Maybe I need real meditation.

tombofry 2013-12-21 15:58

Very odd, but nice and calming, definitely. I wasn't sure what to do at first but then I realised I needed to hold *all* the meditation keys, not just one at a time :L

iiechapman 2013-12-22 23:36

This is a very unique game, I did not understand it at first but as I sat and waited I thought I was going crazy but then I realized the the world was changing. BTW: I just released the Windows version of my game so you can finally play it!

It's different, not a "fun" game exactly but more of an experience. The couple of things that happen to you while meditating are pretty cool and surprising. Not sure how it relates to the theme though. Nice textures on the bed and floor.
