Intro sequence decent, but drags on a bit. MS Paint graphics, lol. The actual game wasn't what I expected at all - I was expecting some kind of mirroring puzzle game, but instead all I got was a simple side-view fight.
Nice that you managed to get a game out though :)

cracy game! :)

Interesting concept, the story was pretty amusing. I thought it was pretty funny.

Well, that was strange. Doesn't seem like Alex has learned his lesson; better stab him with glass some more.

Would be great to be able to skip that intro after you've watched it once .. the second/third time through really starts to drag on.

jackyjjc 2014-08-26 04:41

That jump sound was loud! Other than that, it was quite simple but I can see an interesting idea presented. Would be nice if the hit detection was better and have more content but nice job on putting together a game!

Didn't expect the twist. Congrats on finishing!

malf 2014-08-26 06:24

The intro was too long and the game too short, other than that a nice game ;)

gnuwind 2014-08-26 15:56

good story. Thanks.

Well, this gave me the goosebumps. Crazy ide, but after all, I enjoyed it. Maybe you should fix his hand while jumping.. it come out from an unusual place for an arm. :D

I'm with @wolfmother, I sort of expected something like "Interdimensional Puzzler" by little-burrito.

drewvancamp 2014-08-27 03:36

So weird. Hahaha. Nice one! Love the music, btw.

It's really funny, but not much of a game.

midnightcreators 2014-08-27 21:56

Funny game (^_^). I would just suggest more careful with the commands action and animation.

solifuge 2014-08-28 06:51

I really liked that one tarantaraaa~ SFX. Cutscenes drag some and are unskippable, which I found frustrating when I went back to replay a few times. Information on controls would have been helpful. I felt genuinely horrified at the idea, though, which was very... well-thought-out. Thank you for the game!

mrexcessive 2014-08-28 17:54

Hi there. I thought the animation sequence was interesting, but not really part of the game... oh maybe it is ... hmmm... The game itself (vs. Alex) was pretty tough.

allusion 2014-08-28 21:56

That was really strange. I like the evil laugh at the end when you win.

mekuri 2014-08-30 07:26

Interesting way to tell a story, but not much gameplay, except for the "boss battle" - The story was surprisingly intriguing though :)

aomeas 2014-09-02 21:13

The intro made me think that the game would last longer :3
That was short but it fits in the theme!

jukimv1986 2014-09-03 04:25

So saaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. A pretty fun experience, well done!

badlydrawnrod 2014-09-06 19:52

A short game with a big moral message.

Not enough games these days have such strong moral messages for the kids. This was a short game that was a REFLECTION on our looks-obsessed society (see what I did there).

The only improvement I'd suggest is to have a way to skip the dialog, or move it along a bit faster.

frogcheese 2014-09-06 19:53

I love cool takes on the themes like this. Funny and creepy at the same time, though Alex seems to take it all in stride... Not a whole lot of game, and the intro and retry sequences were a bit long-winded; it wasn't bad enough for me to lose interest, though. A short, fun experience in all. : )

voxel 2014-09-10 17:33

Would be nice not to have to start over entirely after losing the mirror battle. Interesting idea

thegreentie 2014-09-10 17:35

Deepest plot twist... really.

shatterhand 2014-09-11 22:02

The intro drags on for too long, and like it has been said, there's not a lot to play. I nearly gave up thinking there was no gameplay at all with such a boring and long intro with no way to skip it.

romandtom 2014-09-12 06:42

liked the main idea very much :))

dohan 2014-09-13 09:53

Wow, the ending was creepy... Great idea!

cardboard 2014-09-15 16:55

The intro is cool, but should be skippable, so that I don't have to watch it before each play. I like the story!

cakencode 2014-09-16 00:41

Cool concept, and the ending was cool to get to! Like someone else said, having a way to skip the intro would be really neat. It's something that's more for a "polished" experience, but I think it really contributes to the overall enjoyment. :) Great work!
