Wow, wow, wow. Wonderful.

abrie 2014-04-29 17:17

A deeper game than a quick glance reveals.

kayz 2014-04-29 17:26

A very unique experience... I think I destroyed everything. But I don't know why^^.

pierrec 2014-04-29 17:57

At last! I can grab your graphics with my own hand! Feels so good. Thanks.

samoojamies 2014-04-29 22:50

Breathtaking artwork and lovely theme. Bravo.

I thoroughly enjoyed those endings

mneubrand 2014-04-30 03:09

Well done. Quirky in a good way, not what I originally expected.

fasox 2014-04-30 05:13

wow

teameagle 2014-04-30 21:10

art is great

chaoseed 2014-04-30 21:19

I definitely like the clay graphics, it make for a kind of strange, yet cheerful sort of mood. The gameplay was all right. It was a pleasant surprise to get the raft and find out there was more to the game than is first apparent! Three endings, huh? There is definitely potential for a lot of stuff here...

hybridmind 2014-05-01 03:07

What a really unique looking game! I love the style! I don't think I've ever played anything quite like this before. Very cool. I found one ending. I want to see a whole adventure game in this style now. :D

sonnybone 2014-05-01 08:26

I love the innovative look and artistic approach to game design. Very refreshing. :D

tenpn 2014-05-01 13:05

really liked the aesthetic. minor quibble but would have liked cursor controls on WASD if you're going to force mouse sometimes.

mase 2014-05-01 16:07

@tenpn: I wanted to differentiate the walking and digging parts... and make the digging parts feel more visceral. I mean, there was some logic behind the control scheme. Though I would normally find inconsistent controls to be a pain... and I'd understand if anyone felt that way about this game.

@everybody: Thanks y'all. <3

conormn 2014-05-01 17:44

Incredibly well done. Tip of the hat to you :)

aaronjbaptiste 2014-05-01 19:28

lol, trippy. Well done bro

moonmagic 2014-05-02 06:09

I danced along with Beachcomber, together we danced, enjoying the activities we had undertaken and thinking about them all. Dancing together, holding each step in my hand next to the Coin that paid for it, dancing, falling in between Sand Plants and listening to the waves.

lowcade 2014-05-02 16:51

Wow... Amazing!
Really different... Good use of theme
The final is fun!

lokarunith 2014-05-02 23:42

Really nice aesthetic, I love the atmospheere of your games.

draknek 2014-05-03 22:35

Well that was... err... something.

dustystylus 2014-05-04 14:34

Haha, I knew I was missing an LD favourite from my list. You didn't disappoint, sir! The jukebox made me jiggle my bits as well.

hyouko 2014-05-05 00:20

The 1-bit visuals remind me of old Mac OS shareware games that I used to play over at a friend's house. Very well done!

xenosns 2014-05-05 01:23

Wow, beautiful

badgerpriest 2014-05-06 03:29

My god. Simply spectacular. Never stop doing what you're doing.

lekochen 2014-05-07 12:59

Wow this is beautiful.

pitoum 2014-05-10 06:35

As usual, art is just perfect.
Thanks for that experience!

glbs 2014-05-12 00:46

Amazing art and mood! Your game really stands out of a lot of what I've seen. Your simple yet profound visuals are really inspirationnal.

amour-maternel 2014-05-12 02:00

It's the most beautiful game of this Ludum dare. You created an atmosphere and a world, it is really great! REALLY.

marcellus 2014-05-12 05:33

An UFO in the mole-something / mine-blahblah galaxy of this ludumdare. Sounds made the atmosphere really deep and those graphics are truly an art. It doesn't feel like a videogame, more like an interractive piece of art you could find in a museum. Congratulations for this entry.

simonchauvin 2014-05-12 08:28

You had me dream and travel for a little while, thank you and great job!

anoarith 2014-05-14 05:19

I think I had the best ending. Ever.

striwx 2014-05-14 15:39

Love the mood !

blueberrysoft 2014-05-18 09:35

Thanks. I like this. I especially like the digging scenes. he contrast between the far view and the close view helped me feel like I was really on my knees, trying to look carefully into the ground. Though I think having each dig action being tied to 1 mouse click made those scenes go too fast. Maybe 1 dig per second or half second would be better.
