Woot!

The first download link points to a screenshot, you may want to fix that.

Automatic awesome points for using recorded sounds.
Graphics are pretty good.
Not much in the way of gameplay. Yeah, it's exploration, but that doesn't excuse a game from being boring. Perhaps some narrative text/sound could draw the player in more.

Pretty cool overall :3

The game really succeeded with making me go "What the-?!" with it's colorful creatures and worlds. I really liked the audio and graphics. the objective of the game was kind of unclear though, but overall great work!

5/5 for graphics... I loved them. Wish there was more games like this in the comp. I made it home. I was scared of the infinite void of space.

The controls didn't work. In OS X

great! amazing visuals

Pretty cool, liked the art

@Ofursnati - You may have thought that during the cutscene, but movement is purposely disabled during cutscenes. You can move fine when there is no cutscene.

Haha this was awesome. I feel a little less sane now. It reminded me of toejam and earl. Cool!

Wow, caught me off guard with those visuals and audio! Great job, although I got lost a lot!

Haha awesome stuff. I loved the mood of the whole thing and the randomised tiles. Welcome to the LD community, doesn't it feel great?

Got lost in space, but found my way eventually.

Really trippy graphics, would have loved some music with it. I made it back home and was wishing for some more adventures.

I wasn't expecting to be reminded of the randomised maps in Dragon Warrior Monsters, or, later on, the glitched-out maps in MegaMan Starforce 3. The music was really cute the first time then hard to stand after that. =(

HL3 CONFIRMED

Definitely the most psychedelic game of LD30. :D

I like the dreamlike atmosphere and alien feel. Could have needed a few extra levels. Good job! :)

The feeling of exploring some worlds is kinda nice, though the endlessly looping music(?) got old quickly. It's a shame the creatures didn't seem to interact with the character, and I was a little confused about being able to apparently walk through water and lava. It was nice how the last level shook things up a bit by having you navigate the maze-like terrain.

Really interessting and very trippy :)

blizzardmuffin 2014-08-31 07:02

Great first entry ;) It's a very different game to anything I've ever played... Like the graphics, and it runs very smoothly. Well done!

I did like the little fellows moving around the second level and the music in the intro. But. The main issue here, to me, is that the size of the levels in comparison to the effects and wtf-moments and general stuff the player encounters. The intro is also really quite long without being clear it is a cut-scene. If I hadn't happened to see that comment I would have though the game broken and shut off there. I like strange games, but this one simply didn't work for me and it wasn't for its strange parts.
