....
What?

I had no idea what was going on half the time, and it was great.

norse-games 2014-04-27 23:00

Also, great graphic style.

2014-04-27 23:01

I dig it, dude.

gikdew 2014-04-28 07:24

I love the graphics!

manabreak 2014-04-28 07:30

What? I mean... WHAT? This could easily give nightmares! Awesome work, really weird and cool. :)

mihic_ts 2014-04-28 07:41

Awesome graphics! Weird, cool, and awesome!

jalgames 2014-04-28 07:41

Quite nice game! I like the graphics, but I wish the controls were a bit easier to reach (e. g. WASD + Q + E)

kiririn51 2014-04-28 07:43

This game was AMAZING! reminded me of Out of this World, pretty good atmosphere and art.

kiririn51 2014-04-28 07:46

argh, forgot to put stars ><

paperblurt 2014-04-28 07:51

Aww this looks like Another World meets Limbo and some puzzling.

Impressed as hell!

aestheticgamer 2014-04-28 07:55

Probably the weirdest game I've played so far. Looked good and had a good atmosphere, but I also can't claim to have fully understood what I just played, and the gameplay was rather simplistic. Most of it was pressing buttons and riding things. Still, enjoyably odd.

druid 2014-04-28 08:24

OMG I love Boogaard's games so much!

bzizi 2014-04-28 08:38

Love it! You should continue working on it. I'd pay monies for a longer version.

augustsnow 2014-04-28 09:20

Great game! my favorite so far.

mtrc 2014-04-28 10:06

Wow, I really enjoyed that. Like you say, it was a weird little thing but the atmosphere was terrific.

kbm0 2014-04-28 11:20

One of the best looking games I've seen on here so far! GREAT art style! Good job!

jfransham 2014-04-28 12:14

Let's get drunk and shoot people in the face.

adonaac 2014-04-28 12:26

Why did 9/11 plane hit a space elevator? Is this a metaphor? When we're trying to go up something happens to bring us down? Or that you shouldn't drink before taking the space elevator? Maybe that you invaded the space elevator country, killed so many of them and then they decided to take you down even if it meant destroying their structures? So many questions.

darkflamejam 2014-04-28 12:27

Favourite game so far!
The game crashed (I think) when the plane came in. Loved it

crabman 2014-04-28 12:28

Awesome. Just awesome.

local-minimum 2014-04-28 12:39

Absolutely mega-fantastic graphics feel. Love the arm when pointing and the character in general.

The connection to the theme felt a bit vague, besides taking the elevator down...

I would have liked something more than the game just closing after the head-on-smack-thing too.

But for a 48h thing this is really impressive. And a really solid style that would do great with some branching story and just more of everything.

katamori 2014-04-28 12:43

A little bit raw. But I'm still speechless. So deep atmosphere...also tells a lot even without words.

Incredibly awesome!

And yeah, indeed it's a bit like Another World.

techblogogy 2014-04-28 13:12

Loved the freaking graphics

detective-pixel 2014-04-28 17:18

A nice little adventure game you have there. It was a little short, but a nice game overall.

jellycakes 2014-04-28 18:57

Pretty damn impressed by this, really nice job. Looks well polished, art style looks really good, and it feels like one of those classic adventure games. Really nice job!

huruey 2014-04-28 19:00

Great game. Amazing that you got so much in! The sound and art were good, and worked to create a really nice feel. Nice choice of scenes, too.

designernap 2014-04-28 19:04

Fantastic. Tone, style, graphics, audio. Superb. One of the best entries I have seen, not just this year, but for the last four. Great work. Very much enjoyed this.

tijmentio 2014-04-28 22:29

Whaha that ending had me. Mood is intriguing as always!

ellian 2014-04-28 22:37

Super weird. I liked it though, there's that "something" in the art direction that made it compelling to play.

terraco 2014-04-28 23:11

I really dig the style of this

hypnohustla 2014-04-29 07:52

This was a really great experience. Reminded me of Another World/Out of This World. You've created a beautiful landscape :)

hexagore 2014-04-29 14:47

First game i've seen that made me wonder how on earth you managed to make this in 48 hours. Just... wow. Obviously very inspired by Another World, it has the same feeling, too. The use of sound and music worked really well too.

Very disturbing and atmospheric. Impressive stuff.

perfect-victim 2014-04-29 16:54

nice one .
love the graphic style .

thorig 2014-04-30 06:35

It is out of this world. Great game.

ilo 2014-04-30 10:09

I may not have always known what was happening, but I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. :D

binary_girl 2014-04-30 13:49

great.. reminds me of my amiga days.. really good job :)

gwinnell 2014-04-30 18:24

Well that escalated quickly! Very surreal, I'd love to play more. Even the gun was pleasant to use, and fitted the atmosphere very well indeed -- a little bit Frank Miller though. ^^

timtipgames 2014-05-02 12:34

Excellent.

lightsoda 2014-05-04 20:05

That was pretty surreal alright, I dig the style, and the ambient sound/music and the pitched down voice. Pretty cool.

mathijs750 2014-05-06 10:54

this game is also a game http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-29/?action=preview&uid=36621

danialhyatt 2014-05-06 17:39

Good Work!! I absolutely love it. Everything about it. Good sound and art, good story/plot/vibe.. Perfect almost. The shooting element added So much to it. I love the environments/architecture stuff. Everything! The first person views were dope... I could go on and on. Only qualm I have is that it ended.

Continue it pls!!!

gwa 2014-05-06 17:49

Amazing! I like the interaction mode very much and the Atmosphere.

praporomsk 2014-05-08 08:34

Wow! Very atmospheric and, probably, the wierdest game on this LD.

grooveman 2014-05-09 18:25

I get strong Another World vibes from this, which I really like. I was surprised that it didn't point out the gun controls straight away, but fortunately that wasn't too fiddly.

diptoman 2014-05-10 07:43

Okay, that was amazing. The Another World sort of style totally fits with the ever increasing creepy mood. The sounds were fitting as well. The drawn backgrounds were awesome. Short, but great. The application of the theme wasn't so clear, though.

jaj 2014-05-10 10:05

Very cool. Best atmosphere of the games I've played so far. Probably the best overall as well.

jupiter_hadley 2014-05-10 18:04

Super nice graphics, really cool game. I included it in part 19 of my Ludum Dare Compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/KGS8tZwHKag

mcapraro 2014-05-10 22:11

very neat. the graphic style harkens back to Another World. i could really see a deep story being told in this seeting

jonathang 2014-05-19 07:26

Strange and enthralling, a bizzare tale of...something. I really enjoyed the visuals and audio, and the whole atmosphere of it. Great stuff.

eriku 2014-05-19 22:27

Incredible atmosphere for such a short game. Very enjoyable.
