Really like that you choose a "people" subtheme, like me.
I'm so impresed by the pixel art, pretty good work!

nushriell 2014-04-27 21:41

I like this game's graphics.

zyper 2014-04-27 21:54

Yea. Graphics are very good :) You're very talented!

greatbigjerk 2014-04-27 22:56

It's kind of like a game built largely around the drowning mechanics of Sonic. Very cool and moody!

monaarc 2014-04-27 23:29

Nice pixel art ! Some bugs but the game is alright

guillaume_cazelles 2014-04-27 23:58

I really like the graphics of this game ! :p

framematt 2014-04-28 00:26

Really nice!

Love the bubble sound! So sensual haha. Nice pixel art too!

wakka 2014-04-28 17:27

funny game with good pixel graphics. I especially liked the water particle effects.

ditto 2014-04-28 18:36

Kind of needs some guidelines? I swam around until I died, not knowing what I was supposed to do at all^^ I like the start of the game, simple story telling at it's best!

copain 2014-04-30 10:19

really oppressive. Good game design, bubbles come at the right moment.
the platform part have collision problems, but it isn't the bigger part so not serious problem.

atta 2014-04-30 12:00

Jesus inspired game? Cause you can walk on the water ;)
Nice graphics.

foolmoron 2014-04-30 18:31

Really good art and controls. Bubbles are spaced out well, but I had no idea where to go at one point and died.

gwa 2014-04-30 18:32

Nice in mine Game the Couple get also seperated at the beginning :)

blockbot 2014-04-30 18:46

Art and sound design were really nice.

larouxn 2014-04-30 19:23

Very, very good graphics. Tight game play. Clear objective. What more could you ask for? Okay, maybe a killer soundtrack, but still, fantastic job!

menesetsu 2014-04-30 20:04

Very nice polished graphics and audio!

thorig 2014-05-01 09:19

The graphics are nice. Fun game.

caranha 2014-05-01 15:19

That was a pretty neat game. I like puzzles who are not afraid to be hard. There are some graphical glitches (squares showing up around the sprites), but the game in general is pretty solid.

Thanks for the game!

Fucking Romantic

jeffalisk 2014-05-02 06:24

Liked the idea but for me it ran so jerkily that it was hard to play.

coinflipgames 2014-05-02 06:27

This game is pretty good! Simple, but fun.

trueyomic 2014-05-02 17:28

The game has solid tiles, but a maze-like gameplay. I felt I only got so far because I happened to stumble upon the correct direction. There certainly were not enough air bubbles underwater to facilitate exploring unless you know exactly where you're going. I didn't end up finishing it because dying meant playing the whole game over from the beginning. Checkpoints and/or more bubbles would have made this game less frustrating.

I did however, love the audio. Good ambient light background music, coupled with the breathing really set the mood.

rawani 2014-05-02 19:49

Like the story and beautiful aesthetics ... Well done

oranebeast 2014-05-02 20:29

Goood graphics and audio, But didn't understand the gameplay

mrshoestore 2014-05-02 23:51

Really liked the story and the dialogue! Graphics were also very nice. Fun game!

terraco 2014-05-03 01:42

Really like the graphics in this

noom 2014-05-03 02:16

Couldn't play past the water (overwhelming fear of water levels). But I really liked what I saw up until then.

badlydrawnrod 2014-05-03 18:30

Some nice touches in there, eg, the swimming and the breathing when he starts running out of air.

dustoutgames 2014-05-03 22:08

The goal was made very clear right from the start, and that's a very strong point. I like the pixel art, and the water looks really nice. After the initial goal though, I found myself pretty lost. Jumping around was fun, but I had a difficult time figuring out how to progress. A little more polish and direction would really make this game shine.

vandash 2014-05-06 11:40

Nice game, but I could never figure out the mechanics behind when you jump higher than normal, so it can a bit frustrating when jumping from one place to another

jujule 2014-05-06 20:36

I like the graphics on the screen shots but when I play the game it looks like it upscaled 3 or 4 times and looks all blury. Nonetheless, looking at the screen shots, I can get a clear idea.
I liked the story too and found the control very responsive.
Your story leaves space for the player's imagination to fill the gaps. Another good point.
I haven't beaten it yet but I'll definitely try again.

csanyk 2014-05-10 03:27

Very interesting, atmospheric. I swam a lot and then I drowned. I'll have to explore more to see what's going on. The mysteriousness of it has me hooked.

jupiter_hadley 2014-05-12 01:56

Super laggy for me :/ I included it in part 25 of my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/06U_lc3kLp4

udo 2014-05-13 10:17

I liked it. At first I thought there wasn't a lot to do, but then I discovered you can dive. Good job!

jacob-peltola 2014-05-13 12:30

Cool visuals, the three-air-bubbles-warning-to-drown noise caught me off guard xD, Sweet game

jsmars 2014-05-16 18:51

Nice little game, nice graphics and overall feel! :)

gmaker 2014-06-02 18:20

dart is sucks...
