Some very nice quotes and character design. Wish you could move around a bit faster.

Nice graphics and nice quotes, but the movement is rather difficult on a high-resolution device. It takes many taps on a field to move the character one square.

negative points: menu button is displayed but doesn't do anything and the back button seems to be blocked :(

Thanks for your feedback. Yeah, the controls need a major rework. It's my first priority for the after-jam version.

About the menu: you mean that the menu is not animated at all, right? Where do you see a back button? I can't remember adding any, but maybe then I was already too tired. Hahaha

"cant run because MSVCP120D.dll is missing"

Nice graphics but it's quite frustrating to click every time for each step. :/
Sound (even simple one) would be great too!

Nice graphical style. As the others said, the character moves a bit slow. Also I managed to get of the path once. It was like if the graphics and the collision of the level where offset by one row. But it fixed itself after a level change.

I like the graphics. Unfortunately I was unable to to anything but move the guy around (very slowly).

I feel like there's an interesting game here, but like others have said, the movement makes it pretty hard to get into.

Seems clear that I must update the controls. I'll be back soon with an update.

solkar 2014-05-01 11:00

I have updated the controls. Now it's much easier to walk around.

flavio 2014-05-01 12:32

that was interesting experience
I'm sending it to my shrink ^^

I like the psychological theme. Moving around is annoying.

tenpn 2014-05-01 13:19

nice artwork, good concept. would love to see it taken to its fullest.

solkar 2014-05-01 15:56

@Danvil, how would you improve the controls?

flavio 2014-05-02 07:07

Arrow keys maybe ? Even if it's moving in diagonal, a convention could be fine like down = down left, left = down right, up = up left and left = up left ?
Or clicking somewhere he could go on his diagonal may move him n times untill the place you clicked ?

(BTW, our game works on Mavericks now :) )

solkar 2014-05-02 09:07

@flavio, I implemented something like that. It's available in the post compo. Not the keyboard though.

solkar 2014-05-02 13:27

@Danvil, how would you improve the controls?

pinkmonkeyhead 2014-05-02 21:29

The graphics are great! but the controls are not... make it playable with keyboard

thorig 2014-05-03 15:00

Too bad this doesn't have audio, that would help to set the mood. If I was playing this on a table, I would like to have to press just to make the man move. Still enjoyed it.

jupiter_hadley 2014-05-03 15:17

I cant play your game because I have a windows 8. Sorry. :/

jlay 2014-05-13 01:42

I liked the graphics a lot. Movement was very annoying.

jezzamon 2014-05-17 10:07

The controls were too frustrating on my Android. It'd be nice they were explained somewhere. I assumed to tap where you wanted to move, but moving one square is very annoying. Maybe if you just tapped in the top right to move diagonally upwards it'd work better.

I couldn't get very far in it because of the dodgy control and bugginess. :/
