Very impressive you wrote/composed/recorded such a decent song in 48 hours. There isn't much to do, but I like how it involves the player in the music.

boodog 2014-04-28 03:53

Awesome! The music is pretty good, but it's cool that it's interactive!

Ok, I tried playing your game for 10 minutes like you recommended, and... I couldn't quite get it, it felt surreal and the music was fine, but the I didn't feel the interactivity part, maybe I need to play some more times, but I'll rate based on the experience anyway.

Also, I felt you put quite some work on this one, good job.

My only complaint is that I couldn't really read the messages. They were moving too fast and there were too many to focus long enough to read it. Really cool concept though.

@SlamBlasta - Welcome to being disabled :P

Can belive you made this in 48 hours, thats really impressive. I really like the idea. Nicely done!

This is a very original way to express a good message. Overall I liked the approach to the gameplay, but I feel like it could have been stronger if the visual feedback from your interaction was more apparent. I wasn't sure if I was clicking the right things, or which of the things I had already clicked. Even so, very impressed with this entry.

Great idea, I liked how you interpreted the theme. Great music as well :)

terraco 2014-04-28 06:25

Great work.

gikdew 2014-04-28 06:53

Really nice concept there! I really enjoy the game!

shivur 2014-04-28 07:09

Very touching and original.

Nice game, and swingin' solo

paperblurt 2014-04-28 08:41

This was something new.
Interactive? Game?

Good anyways.

caryoscelus 2014-04-28 09:02

Impressive.

PS: only third time managed to save some sanity :) (interactive part is a bit hard to understand if you're trying to read the messages)

pietro-ferrantelli 2014-04-28 16:48

Wow ! That's just Amaazing ! It's really innovative and well executed :)

It seems to buffer forever. My guess is that I was alt tabbed when it finished loading and so the player never received the load complete event.

jomacel 2014-04-28 22:09

Good job!

zatyka 2014-04-29 03:05

While I felt immersed in the experience, I didn't feel like what I did really mattered. Never-the-less, it was quite interesting, and it did have an emotional affect on me.

suese 2014-04-29 08:19

@zatyka How deliciously metaphorical ;)

dreii 2014-04-30 00:49

This is cool! nice song man.

benmcnelly 2014-04-30 17:42

Surreal man... good job!

Nice use of the theme and way to create a mood. I definitely felt the passion and personal nature behind this project.

I think the controls might need a little work as sometimes I was clicking and it didn't seem to register. The spawn points could also be less clustered so that you avoid so much overlap (which may be why my controls seemed off).

Overall I definitely think this was a very original idea and I appreciate you sharing something so personal. Thanks!

grooveman 2014-05-02 16:32

Ah, this is very touching. I really like your interpretation of the theme and the idea of it being a music video. I also like that the messages you shoot down reflect the main line of text, but since those messages are both positive and negative, it muddies the idea of shooting down the negative vibes to retain sanity.

martin_monosys 2014-05-04 20:51

I have no idea how you can pull this off using a recording software you never used before, but I also have no reason to doubt your words, so... Great job! Writing and recording a decent song in 48 hours is quite a thing (timing in the solo part is a bit off, but in charming way, and I couldn't do it any better myself, anyway...), and if you concider coding and stuff has to be done too, this is really something. Congratulations!!! Reminds me to work harder, quite inspiring...

vilcans 2014-05-08 06:52

Interesting non-obvious interpretation of the theme. I'm not sure I understood the "game" part of it, but I'm impressed that you pulled this off for the compo.

striwx 2014-05-13 14:16

Very cool concept and good writing !

anoarith 2014-05-15 12:29

Wow ! That was really innovative ! Nice music and use of the theme :) !

rabbits 2014-05-16 21:58

amazing. A very good song, surprising it was made in 48 hours. I enjoyed that you had the same take on the theme as I did, well done.
