Cool graphics. Works on Chrome.
Wow. The theme is really dark, although it's funny that the guy is always falling down.
The graphics and the audio are fit together well.
Very good looking :)
No people THE MUSIC
TijmenTio gets it!
Amazing atmosphere, I'm still really curious what the meaning behind it is, since the ending didn't make sense to me. But overall I'm really impressed, good job.
Gorgeous art...animation...audio...everything...wow
Pretty cool, even if it was a short game. Graphics were really nice too, set a pretty decent mood. Nice one!
Hey Sonnybone! Super moody, and excellent music as always (I'm getting jealous about that talent as I still have no clue there). The game definitely reminds me of the game passage (you should take a look at it if you never saw it). Would like to see more to this story especially little glimpses into the others that went down.
DAT ENDING
manly tears were shed
Really incredible gfx and audio
Gameplay could be better though, maybe some enemies
anyway, awesome entry
That was... poignant. Thanks for the game!
As always, your graphics and music leave nothing to be desired.
I tried to hammer the first skeleton, but nothing happened. Am I a bad person? :-)
Cheers!
Okay. Dude. What happened there? This game is crazy good, it's like playing a poem with no words! The way you slow down in the end is really cool, and the feeling of hopelessness is immence! I'll have to play this a couple times more for sure! Thanks for creating this!
Interesting little experience. It's moody, and a little depressing. The graphics very well done, but it seemed like the sound was a little unpolished. Not the music though. Music was very well done.
Solid entry. Really liked the music, especially the ending music. Art was super nice, too. Well done.
Great work with the music and the occlusion effect. It worked well.
I downloaded chrome just to play this. :)
What about the ups? Life can't be just about the downs... >_<
This was interesting. I'm still not completely sure what it was about, though I have a hunch.
It's a beautiful game with awesome music! Congrats! :)
Great graphics. I like the mechanics too. Interesting ending. Great job!
Wow. This had a really great mood and awesome audio :)
I like the way you told the story. I didn't really need any enemies because that would have wrecked the mood. Good job :)
hey man, rad game you have here
I like the colors you picked
and i love the music, really sets a hmm sad mood
Amazing graphics, and such eerie music! :O
This is absolutely amazing, great art style!
Nice graphics and great atmosphere! How'd he get up after so many years...!
Because he never quits :)
What the hell, man, you made me think it was going to be rubbish on Twitter saying you'd wasted all your time and you barely had a game, this was fucking awesome you dope.
I wish I had your art and audio talent. This is going to demolish mood too.
Also, extra points for #doflips, which you.. sort of did. Kinda.
I went way too meta with this. I lied and said it was nothing but there was more beneath the surface... lol. I have problems. Thanks for the kind words, pal.
Great entry!
:'( I died...
At the end I thought, the game was lagging like crazy :D (because many other entries here do). Great job!
14 years!? That was a looong trip. Great mood.
Nice landing animation, good short tragic story.
Really tugs on the ol' heartstrings...
Juicy Spritey goodness!
These are the humble beginnings of a horror game.
I enjoyed the lighting and the (eternal) falling. The corridors were a little hard to see.
Very cool mood established with the music and lighting. Not much to the gameplay, but that wasn't the point of this entry.
I really liked this! Simple but beautiful graphics, lovely touches like the grass swaying.
I loved the collecting of the ball of light that then let me light the way.
Overall a really nice game though quite a sad ending! :)
I would say it's an art game, not just because of the great pixel art and background music, but the things SonnyBone wants to convey with the game.
Thank you.
A beautiful and haunting game. I love it.
~funkeh
my favorite so far! very nice, and the death in the end: perfect!
Nice work. :) Lovely pixels!
That was good. Somehow depressing... but very very good.
Excellent universe, mood and art style, but a bit too slow. Also I like the title screen a lot :D Great job.
Did he died?
Very beautiful little game! Nice screen effects during some of the levels. Great work!
great music and graphics.
ahh, that was very melancholy and nice. nice art and very effective music, great job
Very good graphics/audio.
Nice! I really like how the diminishing light, decreasing movement speed, music, and longer delay between hitting the ground and starting in each level all contributed to the overall mood.
I remember your entry from the last time I did LD, so I had pretty high expectations, but it was even better than I thought. I really enjoyed playing through to end. Audio is top notch, as usual. Please keep making these!
Now that's what I call melancholic! Great audio, together with graphics sets perfect sad mood. Gameplay is bit.. flat.. or I just didn't get message out of it. Good job!
Nice game, nice story. Gameplay is a bit lacking but that's not the point of the game :)
I don't normally dig these "art games" and I was ready to rate you low until that final sequence. Really great graphics as well, congratulations on a very cool thing you've made :)
Good entry with sadness story. Visuals are awesome. Concept isn't bad but need more polishing.
Hey man! It was nice to see a comment of yours on our LD entry. And damn, you were praising my art and music, but I'm admittedly somewhat jealous of yours! :p Your talent has certainly been increasing since prior LDs. Great game with great atmosphere. I had to chuckle when it said "14 years later", so I'm glad the game didn't end right there, because the slower ending gave me time to get back to the reality of the situation. Great double meaning on the theme, and the spirit rising at the end was a nice touch.
Also, I had to check when you mentioned this was your 10th LD -- turns out this was my 10th, too. :o
The artwork and mood in this game was awesome. Music really fit the mood, too. Rather lacking in challenge, but by the end of it that didn't matter. [not putting spoilers here]
Wow, this is super impressive! The graphics and sound are amazing at conveying mood, and it makes me curious what the meaning is. I love the structure of the levels too, it makes a great in-game tutorial. I only have two pet peeves - first, the up and down arrows tended to scroll the browser (which is something I've dealt with too), and the perspective makes it a bit hard to know if you're hitting the rocks or not. Otherwise, this is one of the best games I've played for LD29.
Deep.
Great mood and atmosphere. Not so much gameplay. I think it needed a bit more for me to be immersed into the story. Pretty good overall
Hi. Shame no sound. Like the projection and level design.
Shame no sound? Shame no ears. Or shame no speakers. :p
Wow, this game looks absolutely stunning! Very well done!
Nice graphics (+ visual effects) and music. No real gameplay to it, but I still enjoyed it. The ending was really well done.
Glorious mood and artwork, depressing ending. That's not a bad thing.
Quite somber, looks nice. Gameplay is simple and pretty straight forward.
Sweet graphics, nice game! I included it in part 15 of my Ludum Dare Compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/f3WpQDAZRnI
Wonderful sound and graphics, but the gameplay's a bit bland.
The art and color choices are great - everything looks so clean and crisp! And the moody music and the flickering light effects create a heavy atmosphere. I don't think I understand the meaning completely, but I still enjoyed the experience.
PS: Congratulations on beating SnakeFormer! There aren't many who did :D
Interesting game with great graphics and audio. But I have a problem with the controls, the page is always scrolling when I use the up and down cursor keys.
I can't seem to duplicate the page scroll issue on my end on any browser. It stays locked no matter what I press, so it must be a browser/keyboard configuration issue on particular setups.
Haunting music and great graphical style. Matches the theme quite well and is one of the more puzzling entries this year!
Great pixel art.
It feels like the gameplay needs something more, maybe some puzzles or enemies.
Very cool game. Nice concept.
Love the music !
Fantastic game. Visuals and audio are fantastic, gameplay is smooth, absolutely top notch. Considering the time frame, this is an incredible entry. Fantastic job.
Great mood!
Interesting experience. I love the mood of it, the music is absolutely gorgeous. Nice work!
