The graphic and audio create an incredible mood ! It was a peaceful and enjoyable experiment, we'd love to see more :)

leafarz 2014-08-26 06:27

wow on creating the mood in the game. very nice visuals and audio. would love it as it is even if that's the only mechanic!
would love to see how the story of the game goes.

really enjoyed this game of yours even if it was short (too bad).
good job!

windmill-games 2014-08-26 10:18

It is not really my type of game, but I can appreciate the art and feel. Well done!

honcho 2014-08-26 10:18

Beautiful and powerful. Narrative was fantastic. Bookmarked for inspiration!

memoryleek 2014-08-26 10:19

Linux download only contains a .exe file.

norgg 2014-08-26 10:23

Awww. Lovely, short, understated story.

raphy 2014-08-26 10:23

Hey, thanks for the feedbacks !

MemoryLeek, yes I made a mistake in the Linux URL, now it's normally fixed :)

hippolyta 2014-08-26 10:25

Cool game with a nice, mysterious mood and good graphics/sound. Looks and feels a bit like a 8-bit version of "Journey".
Great job!

elejdor 2014-08-26 10:26

Fantastic visual effects and music plus intriguing story that I will never know :)

kewry 2014-08-26 10:27

Really nice mood setting you built up, the sound makes it feel amazing, would love to see more of it

extrelime 2014-08-26 10:29

Wow! It was really amazing!
The mood is very particular: mountains, clear sky and clous carried by wind. Great graphics is sound (even there's some issues with its position).
Good work!

memoryleek 2014-08-26 10:40

The Linux version (after updated URL) didn't run out of the box. I had to copy files from another Linux Unity game and the Windows version of this game to get it to run.
Once that was done it ran without problems :)

raphy 2014-08-26 10:44

Oh sorry MemoryLeek, I have nothing to test it on Linux so I just uploaded the Unity meant to build for Linux! Thanks for managing to run it anyway :)

nuclearnapalm 2014-08-26 10:45

Visuals and mood just beautiful.

emotiontheory 2014-08-26 11:06

Beautiful graphics / audio / mood. Music reminded me of Chrono Trigger / Final Fantasy, and the game brought memories of Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery. Hats off to you :)

elkiwydev 2014-08-26 11:07

Short but beautiful

jetl33t 2014-08-26 11:15

The mood in this piece is amazing! If I had to describe it in one word, I'd choose: wonderful.

rnlf 2014-08-26 11:16

Not really a game, but I'd give you 6 mood stars if only I could... Really beautiful graphics and sound!

nonentheless 2014-08-26 11:30

Pretty nice, reminds me a little of Gods will be watching in terms of style. Game is very climatic. Although I didn't know what to do I beat it eventually. All in all great entry :)

erkberg 2014-08-26 11:42

A fantastic short game. I love the art and audio, together it creates a very special mood.

kojan 2014-08-26 11:46

Really nice experience, the artistic side is amazing !

adventureislands 2014-08-26 12:13

Great audio and visuals, short and sweet. Took me a moment to realize what to do, perhaps it could have been shown better which stones had been activated.

sephyka 2014-08-26 13:37

Wonderful mood, atmosphere and graphics. Very inspiring. The changing colors on the landscape are amazing!

reverend-speed 2014-08-26 14:53

Looks beautiful - excellent pixel art, particle effects, glows... Gorgeous work. The music is gentle, ambient. A great little game for a jam!

camilleh 2014-08-26 15:04

Fantastic graphics and mood. Didn't know what to do though, even after reading your tip about the stones.

calciumtrice 2014-08-26 17:29

Lovely artwork, sound and atmosphere. Managed to solve the stones after the first night.

Nice job.

skiddings 2014-08-26 19:00

Creates fantastic atmosphere from the art, music and sound effects.
I wish to see what you could do in more than 24 hours!

rawbosaurx 2014-08-26 21:31

Even though I liked the concept and the general feel of the game, it was a bit too short in my my taste. I liked what I played, though. Don't get me wrong. It's not bad. I just wish it was longer :)

soulgame 2014-08-26 21:46

The game mood is powerful. Pitching sounds according to the player direction is a very nice polishing. Overall, the game has an impressive realization. And it intrigued me quite a lot so I was eager to see what would happen.

alvarop 2014-08-27 01:53

Nice atmosphere, artwork and audio, but I just couldn't figure out what to do! I waited until the night ;(

drewvancamp 2014-08-27 02:39

Wow! It always amazes me when an artist like you manages to create a moving piece of work with so few elements. Especially to smoothly conceive and execute that concept in such a short amount of time. Great work! Audio is great and I love-love the visual style. Very well done!

Have you considered a longer game? Please let me know how to find it if you do create more. I'd love to play it!

thegamefather 2014-08-27 03:10

The game is more like a story, a short but touching love story. The background art of the game is very beautiful, and all of them tells something about the story. Great work!

twintrite 2014-08-27 09:16

I was completely immersed for the past 3-5 minutes I experienced your entry...very well done. Thank you for that :) Great mood, audio and graphics style. Too bad it's so short.

lars-faust 2014-08-27 10:19

Great mood.

quetzakol 2014-08-27 10:24

5 stars for mood, this game is short but magic ! :)

feybrant 2014-08-27 10:59

I see the idea here and it looks fine !! The ambience feeling is amazing by the way.

buffalophil 2014-08-27 15:39

Great atmosphere! I'm off to find a kiwi

rhythmlynx 2014-08-28 00:14

Loved this. Very atmospheric, perfect colours. Would love to play more but it's a great piece as is.

georgebroussard 2014-08-28 10:58

Nice art, mood and presentation. Wish there was more game to it, but it's fine as is :)

satyre 2014-08-28 12:18

Great game, there is great potential for more. The graphics and ambient sounds are well polished. Good job for that short working time. I noticed that the first tunes are inspired of a Breath of Fire song ;). Nice message by the way.

oli 2014-08-28 14:08

wow I love the art and the feel, great job

local-minimum 2014-08-28 19:57

As many others say, great audio and graphics. It was a bit short to get immersed in it fully the part that it was, was really great.

iamspencer 2014-08-28 23:19

simple but great atmosphere, loved the graphics and audio. Great job! :)

polyboxgames 2014-08-30 02:39

Absolutely beautiful, and (like most everyone else is saying) the sound really adds to it. Super short, but it would awesome to see what you could do with this for something a bit longer - I'd love to play it.

kidando 2014-08-30 04:51

Really short. But your graphics, audio and gameplay are flawless. Can't wait to play more of it.

ghostinthesoft 2014-08-30 05:44

Quite short but I like the mood. Nice graphics and audio

pa3kc 2014-08-30 10:03

Short but powerful!

beardaneerz 2014-08-30 11:04

Good mood and nice arts but I think it's a little too short I want some more !!

toubib 2014-08-30 12:51

Is it a dream or a game? :)

guillaumegwi 2014-08-30 16:20

This is a nice intro ! I love the mood and will be interested to see more ! Nice job !

unnamed1334 2014-08-30 17:45

The game does a good job of telling the story and felt very polished. Good job.

manou 2014-08-30 22:51

Lovely.

twoscoopgames 2014-08-31 01:20

Really nice art. It has a great setting. took a while to walk around. would love to see more puzzles or areas to explore.

pixlwalkr 2014-09-01 15:44

Wow nice pixel art, 5 stars for the mood!

bytegrove 2014-09-01 17:18

I feel stupid, am I supposed to wait after having activated the stones? I'm activating them as shown in the sky(sky-order, stone-order), but there's probably something more.. :/
The game is really pretty though.

traumendes_madchen 2014-09-01 19:08

So melancholic... I didn't understand what the stones were mean to represent but the atmosphere was really beautiful.

deepnight 2014-09-02 11:13

Nice mood! The game itself is really a bit too slow, especially if you miss the 1st night and have to wait for the next one. I wasn't patient enough and I "brute-forced" the enigm :)

bytegrove 2014-09-02 16:58

Got it working this time around, it seemed like the first sign hint hadn't triggered last time I played. (Maybe got to them before dark?)

sunflower 2014-09-04 14:06

Yay, reunion~!
Poor kiwis, though, they're cute birds.

This game's main strength is mood, though story is rather adorable, too. The graphics (people in particular) reminded me somehow of The Last Door.

Overall pretty nice, short entry, though it doesn't stand out much compared to others I played (granted, they do set the bar high). ^^"

jukimv1986 2014-09-04 15:53

Nice short game. I liked how moody and mysterious it was. Great job!

mlinus 2014-09-04 17:41

Can't say it felt like a game but the mood was really great, sound and graphics and everything just melted together into a really nice peace of art. Great job! :)

vividhelix 2014-09-07 05:12

Brilliant. If you get a good story and some interesting puzzles to go with this style of artwork and effects/sound and mood, you have a winner. I would pay for something like this, feels like superbrothers before it got famous :)

jupiter_hadley 2014-09-08 02:54

Really nice graphics. I included it in part 22 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/_5a2Oj9U9sk

tautnerve 2014-09-09 05:53

Beautiful!

lythom 2014-09-12 15:13

hi, here's some feedback.

What I liked :
- Atmosphere (lights, day progressing in time, mind-free feeling, sounds)
- A whole pleasing experience
- Visual consistency
- Story telling without text : a lot of things are told in a very short time which makes the game intense, aside the walking phases make it 'long' in the same time and prevent it from being frenetic. in a nutshell : good telling rithm.

What imo could be improved :
- more interactions, it's short and easy without having to do much things.
- walk animation is a bit approximative.

Overall a good experienceI appreciated to have, thanks for the game =)

huruey 2014-09-16 08:11

This was really beautiful. The telling of a story without using words was pretty masterful.

TaoPhoenix 2014-11-10 05:03

Yeah, ya gotta let experiments live in their own space. So it's about the art and mood, and not about bunches of levels.
