Cool game. I like the action stealth feel it gave off. I don't really see how it fits the theme. Also there was a part in the dark clouds where i flew off screen? I somehow got to the end of the screen but i guess that was a bug? Good idea overall thou, great job

Hey, thanks for playing! The use of competition theme is in the story and setting. The game takes place in the space between two words (industrial and natural). In other words, the worlds are "connected" by your escape route. I would have liked to make this more obvious but time constraints forced me to cut a beginning scene which would have made it more apparent.

Love it! Not sure about the relevance to the theme, but the controls were good. Art was nice and the levels seemed to scale nicely. Good job!

Really cute game! Wish more of the gameplay had taken place outside in the sunny sky and white clouds, because that area of the game was stunning. I really like the fluffy clouds and stealth feel.

Wow nice work, the dark clouds could be blocky or have lightning to show the player they are blocking. Doorway needs to have bright light not dark.

The feel of moving through clouds is pretty cool :) Nice visuals.

aww, this is cute :)

I jumped into the game without reading your description and right away I was reminded of Journey. I think it was the first level that had all grey clouds and you flew sideways was a bit annoying as I kept getting wrecked by the machines. It felt like I couldn't outrun them but I eventually got passed. I really enjoyed the relaxing parts of flying through the clouds and the look and feel of it. Nice job!

Nice art and mechanics. Stealth in the sky! But, is it just me or it has no sound? :( It needs audio badly! Then it'd be fantastic :D

Nice artwork! I also like stealth gameplay.

nnelgdabandit 2014-08-26 19:32

Really neat, nice art, and controls worked really well too. I dig it!

Doesn't want to work for me in Safari dunno if thats a problem anyone else has had. The menu looked ace though! :)

Cool game, although it got difficult quickly. I would have liked to have some audio, even just some sound effects. Overall, nice job.

Cute game, well done. I included it in part 9 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/LbmZDYffwi8

jupiter_hadley 2014-08-27 01:19

Part 9 take two - Now with sound - http://youtu.be/lmQkJ525PNo

Great work on creating a moody atmosphere with the art and the little polishy effects went a long way. I liked how this was sort of a an ambient exploratory game but still had moments that involved dexterity like evading the stabby things with a quick turn or dive. I don't know if it was a bug but the camera got really crazy in one of the later levels. Some nice ambient moody music and sound effects would take this a really long way if you intend to keep working on it. Good job!

Awesome game. Graphic is so cool. I like clouds. Very innovative and cool. Controls are solid. Great game

nonentheless 2014-08-27 12:54

Really fun game, hiding in clouds is quite nice. Execution is very good.

Thank you for your advice on the lessons for players, I totally agree and will implement this approach when developing further :)

hunterhbb 2014-08-27 14:34

It's a funny game. I am enjoyed the feeling that hide behind the cloud.

vctr_seleucos 2014-08-27 15:43

Love the game's art and gameplay! But the lack of a relaxing ambient music and sfx breaks the overall feeling of the game. Keep that in mind if you're going to make a post-LD version! Nice work!

atomicvikings 2014-08-27 17:18

Very awesome looking game. plays good too. I liked that you can hide in the clouds :) great stuff!

lokiman 2014-08-27 17:20

Short but cool anyway. It has its own cute artistic style and I like it. Extra points for Ghibli reference :D

jimmypaulin 2014-08-27 20:45

Haunting experience, in the best possible way! There was a sombreness and a nobility about the little dude/dudette's flight - the enemies were genuinely unsettling. Really enjoyed this challenging game

phocker 2014-08-31 01:42

Nice game. Really like the controls. Not sure on theme but everything else was solid.

pjimmy 2014-08-31 22:25

beautiful game, feels very clean and smooth, nicely done

mrexcessive 2014-09-01 14:11

Hi there. Loved the dive-through-cloud effect. Was going okay until hell in sky level, nasty skewering! Shame no sound Good job!

defacid 2014-09-07 15:09

The sky-darkness level got me - I couldn't figure out how to get past the seekers and kept getting stabbed. If you polished this and cleaned up the art, this could be start to something really awesome.

The camera in the first properly-dark level (the one following the dark level in one of your screenshots) was the worst I've ever ran into in any video game. It just kept jumping from place to place randomly, without even caring about the player character. The later levels were also frustratingly hard. Audio would have been cool, but for a compo entry the lack of audio is understandable.
