Love the style of the art and music. Nice take on flOw.

This link: http://webplayer.unity3d.com/installation/getunity.png needs to also be https otherwise it will be blocked by browsers and people won't be able to download unity. For me it just shows a black screen.

A lot of this "zen" type games showing up, I like it! :) This one looks like flying around in some sort of abstract painting , that's the first time I ever did that :p

thristhart 2014-04-28 07:15

Very pretty!

kar 2014-04-28 07:42

I'm not sure if I can actually win in this game... But you know what? I don't really care, I feel relaxed after playing :D Good job.

tomcooper3d 2014-04-28 07:49

you can win! get 12 little blue triangles to the big blue triangle and enter another dimension(so to speak)

skywolf 2014-04-28 07:50

The gameplay and the art were phenomenal, congrats my friend.

saiato 2014-04-28 07:51

Not sure if I found the way, but I certainly enjoyed my time there :) Very nice environment.

rylgh 2014-04-28 08:39

lovelyyy style, and the little physics-amoebas are cool

niallm 2014-04-28 09:34

This is gorgeous. I struggled a bit to find all the blue triangles though - that part felt a little frustrating towards the end. Perhaps some kind of subtle directional hints would have helped.

whitewolf93 2014-04-28 15:40

This game is now one of my favorites, great feeling, music helps a lot, physics are nice, Great Job! Hope there were more levels, I wanted to play more this game!

whitewolf93 2014-04-28 15:42

And surprised when I watched the timelapse and you used the same tools as me (including fruity loops and cinema 4d :OOO)

nikincz 2014-04-28 15:48

That's really strange game and I don't know what I think about it. Graphics are nice, music is strange. Anyway, I won by collecting some triangles, when I found I can escape ship while hodling space.

abajur 2014-04-28 18:04

Very Zen, yes! I like how the things are always moving somehow.

kmakai 2014-04-28 18:08

Awesome! Love the audio and graphics, very inventive.

maek 2014-04-28 18:46

No sense ,but beautiful.

ludonaut 2014-04-28 19:20

Fantastic game. I love the music and the art. Just beautiful.

mrshortee 2014-04-28 19:43

Took me a while to get what I was supposed to do while it should have been obvious (I somehow instantly forgot the triangle-thingy from the start) but I had great fun figuring it out (again) while floating around. The end was a bit unspectactular but overall a well done game. Very relaxing atmosphere and sound.

eerongal 2014-04-29 00:24

Interesting little game. Kind of unsure what i was supposed to be doing for most of it.

drnick 2014-04-29 00:45

It could move a little faster

micdoodle8 2014-04-29 04:14

Great graphics and interesting concept. Nice job :)

terraco 2014-04-29 07:52

Um did I win?

reinkout 2014-04-29 16:45

It was nice learning what to do while playing. Thanks for the game! :)

larzan 2014-04-29 17:29

Woaaaaaah, chilliiiiing, looooveee iiiiiit duuuuuuuudeee :)

small-trouble 2014-04-29 20:49

Nice artstyle and I liked trying to figure out what the goal was when I started playing.

seconddimension 2014-04-29 20:50

That was great, really enjoyable to play. Just nice to float around and slowly figure out what to do.

rpgwhitelock 2014-04-29 21:26

Very nice! Great ambience and a world you can interact with.

iamspencer 2014-04-29 21:41

liked the 'abstract' art. Nice job :)

elliottd 2014-04-30 00:43

have my babies

bonedaddy 2014-04-30 01:30

Tom, you did great on this game. One of the best of the bunch. Understanding of the "objective" would be better although that kinda defeats the purpose now doesn't it

dreii 2014-04-30 04:04

Very great atmosphere you got going, wasnt sure what i was doing but i was very chilled doing it :)

raiyumi 2014-04-30 06:40

I really love the graphical style you used. It's very slick and smooth. I'm not sure what I was doing, but I was enjoying it! :)

zedutchgandalf 2014-04-30 09:07

Once you discover what you have to do, it's pretty short... But I really like the "discovering what you have to do" part :)
This is one of those rare games where it would have been less enjoyable if there were a tutorial, imo.

techblogogy 2014-04-30 16:59

Niceeee!

karaajayde 2014-05-01 04:57

I quite liked this, the abstract microbial world was a lot of fun to explore, and collecting the triangles felt sufficiently challenging with all physics in the game. You could add some competition between the creatures, maybe they could steal your triangles, but it might ruin the zen abstraction. Technically the controls could be a little tighter and responsive, but thats a minor crit. Nice work ^_^

jacob-peltola 2014-05-01 09:18

Wow'd me, really cool thingamajig you've got here

javifugitivo 2014-05-01 23:15

Love the music and the exploration concept! Really nice!

delfino 2014-05-02 12:33

Fun, it was cool that it took me a minute to figure things out. I enjoyed exploring the world you created

oddly-shaped-pixels 2014-05-02 23:33

Nice concept, great ambiance!

petey123567 2014-05-03 05:34

I don't know what I was doing, but I wanted to keep doing it!

thorig 2014-05-04 16:36

I have no idea what I was doing, but I loved doing it! Great vibe

phocker 2014-05-05 02:21

I really like the graphics and the mood of the game - but I just don't see any point to it - good effort

lerc 2014-05-05 09:44

I made the screen go totally Blue. I think that's something.

gigitrix 2014-05-06 19:57

I didn't "get it" when I played but it was pleasant to play with!

simonchauvin 2014-05-10 13:45

Awesome mood and really cool experience. Loved to play with my little space aquatic ship. I don't get the link with the theme though? Can you tell us :) ? Anyway, great entry!

tomcooper3d 2014-05-11 18:13

@Simon thanks! The theme was "beneath the surface" so i made the control the mechanic around that. you manipulate your ships from within. its also intentional that you cant quite tell if its underwater, in outer space or if its microscopic. im alright with people not knowing whats going on or even if it can be completed.

udo 2014-05-13 13:39

I love this game, very very cool idea indeed with the microbial setting and the semi-permeability :)
