Good job with the audio and innovation

whilefun 2014-04-30 00:47

Thanks, samooJAM!

Long journey between each stop made losing really rough, but interesting concept.

vogon101 2014-04-30 12:45

I like it.

Interesting idea, worth a play. Mouse sensitivity was really high though, I had to turn my mouse dpi down quite a bit to be able to play.

whilefun 2014-04-30 12:55

Thanks thenmal. I struggled with correct length for each leg. 5 minutes seemed a bit too long, but less than that seemed too short. Something for the post compo version! :)

whilefun 2014-04-30 12:59

Thanks, vogon101 :)

Thanks for the heads up, bob_fish. I will add that to my list of post-compo things to fix. Thanks for playing! :)

Deceptively simple gameplay, as the context provides the incentive to perform those simple actions, as well as giving weight to the success and failure states.

The graphics are appropriate, and I'm impressed with the atmosphere that a texture-less environment can still provide. The excellent audio also helps massively in creating the right atmosphere.

Cool, moody game. Good use of atmospheric SFX.

jhrrsn 2014-05-02 13:08

Also, thanks for attempting to play my game - if you fancied giving it another try it's now fixed for Windows :)

great entry!

whilefun 2014-05-03 15:11

Thanks for playing, and your insight, Lafie. I really wanted to get the environment textured, but had no time left. Something for post-compo, to really round out the look and feel :)

whilefun 2014-05-03 15:12

Thanks, jhrrsn! (also I did play your fixed version, nice work! See comments on your game page)

whilefun 2014-05-03 15:12

Thanks for playing, xdegtyarev! :)

elstevo 2014-05-03 15:50

Good atmosphere, I like the level it is really well made.

whilefun 2014-05-03 16:15

Thanks a lot, ElStevo! :)

mintarcade 2014-05-03 16:35

Good innovation. I like it.

carrier_signal 2014-05-03 16:51

I can't say I've ever played a sim like this before, great job :)

whilefun 2014-05-03 17:28

thanks, MintArcade!

whilefun 2014-05-03 17:29

Thank you, carrier_signal :)

Very good and catching game, I passed through all 3 levels!
But the mouse sensivity seemed crazy for me (my screen resolution is 1366x768), it was so hard to aim for the tiny garbage. Good job though!

whilefun 2014-05-05 01:44

Thanks for playing, praporomsk. I've now added a post compo version that allows you to adjust the mouse sensitivity a bit. I'm happy to hear you finished all 3 legs of the journey :)

chuigum 2014-05-05 03:43

Love the graphics!

boodog 2014-05-05 04:20

Nice job. Good audio and lighting!

whilefun 2014-05-05 14:41

Thanks, ChuiGum!

whilefun 2014-05-05 14:56

Thanks, Boodog!

ccglp 2014-05-05 15:37

It's good, 3D environment is a great job!

whilefun 2014-05-06 21:12

Thanks, ccglp :)

donovanwu 2014-05-12 01:20

Nice work! I've never seen any kind of game like this. It's innovative!

elefantopia 2014-05-18 03:43

Wow. Nice challenge, balancing fear and gruffness. Nice easy controls for a very serious game. Great work.

sestren 2014-05-19 11:14

I really liked this entry. The audio helped a lot both in terms of atmosphere and as a gameplay aid. That last minute on the last leg of the journey, I had just enough time to make it back to my room after doing one last sweep through and stare at the photo of my son for a few seconds hoping none of the other passengers opened a window or threw trash on the ground (I had 7 infractions going into the last leg, so I knew I had a pretty thin margin of error left). I got +2 infractions, and just barely managed to make it. Pretty intense!

whilefun 2014-05-20 20:55

Thanks DonovanWu, elefantopia, and Sestren :) Sorry I didn't see these comments earlier. Thanks for playing!
