The graphics look phenomenal. Did you create that?

twintrite 2014-08-25 20:36

Yes thanks a lot :) That may have been my downfall though ;)

Interesting, weird little story. I don't really now if i got it, need to think about this one.

twintrite 2014-08-25 20:48

I'm surprised you figured out how to "end" the game ^^

darklightteam 2014-08-26 09:46

Interesting. Is there a way to exit this loop?

twintrite 2014-08-26 14:32

Thanks for playing :) The only way to exit the loop is to exit the game (sounds somehow very philosophical) ;) Maybe I'll update it in the coming weeks so it plays as I intended.

I would continue to work on this game. I enjoyed playing it. It reminded me of playing Zelda in the old days! Good luck :)

twintrite 2014-08-26 21:18

After reading your comment I am totally psyched to do that...games like 'Legend of Zelda' and 'Secret of Mana' were a big part of my childhood. Thank you :)

I'm currently unable to access any of the uploaded materials... I checked all three. It's a pity, too, because this one really caught my eye! It looks interestingly fairytaleish.

twintrite 2014-08-27 08:51

@Victory Garden can you please check again? I should work now. I am able to download all three on different computers.

Cool game, nice graphics :)

conflictivelabs 2014-08-28 05:39

Loved the graphics and the mood. I also liked how you used alert boxes to do the dialogs, haha.

I also loved the style and story! Sadly I couldn't figure out how to escape the endless loop of nightmares!

For a first-time LD your game is amazing. My first LD (as an individual, not as part of the ConflictiveLabs team) wasn't half as good!

I'm glad you are working on a post-jam version (that's the spirit!) I'd really love to play the finished game.

twintrite 2014-08-28 20:07

Hahaha yeah those alert boxes really hurt my eyes and my soul ^^ one of the first things on my list when I find the time to work on it again...hopefully next week. And thanks for the kind words. I'm glad people like it or at least find parts in it that are like-worthy :) btw. I truly enjoyed playing BOND. Is there a chance that you guys work on an update for that as well? ;)

someone 2014-08-28 23:33

Message boxes?? AAaaargh
Great artwork though.

conflictivelabs 2014-08-29 00:44

I enjoyed the alert boxes, though. Totally unexpected and smart, haha, but yes, you can't have them in a "finished" game, sadly.
About Bond, thanks! glad you liked it! :D We want to do a post-post-jam version with sound and music if we manage to find time for that. Our current post-jam version is basically the game with the levels it was intended to have, which is the least we could do since I couldn't make it in time to add the levels before the jam ended :/

Good start. It looks really nice. And intriguing. Would be good to see what you could do with more time.

landosystems 2014-08-31 19:33

Lovely art style, promising story, just needs some more interactivity and progression. Good work, keep it up!

hbocao 2014-08-31 20:21

Nice history concept. I would be very interested in seeing more of it.

sunflower 2014-09-01 09:16

Alright, so I walked around, ended up in the place with red blobs (somewhat adorable, I admit) and got stuck. >.<

Too bad, because the game looks like it could be something. O.o"

twintrite 2014-09-01 13:43

@Sunflower Thanks and yeah the "end" is not very obvious...but keep pushing ;)

lvyn 2014-09-01 19:10

Hahaha enjoyed meeting my father :D great graphics and keep pushing ;)

hotboxgames 2014-09-01 19:24

Nice pixel art! Was cool!

sketchygalore 2014-09-03 03:15

Impressive artwork!

razoric 2014-09-03 12:38

Great graphics, cool concept. Would love to see a more fleshed out version of this!

twintrite 2014-09-03 15:21

Thank you all! Maybe I'll find some time tonight to work on it again but I can't promise :)

tautnerve 2014-09-03 17:07

Nice first LD game, I thought the ending was pretty funny.
I also really liked the tress sprite, well done.
Actually I think that the fact that there wasn't any
music contributed to the mood.

oinkiguana 2014-09-03 20:14

The graphics look great - much nicer than mine. I like your collision engine too... How you slide off the round things.
Could use a better dialog system than show_message though - those are a bit awkward feeling at times.
The story is interesting, kind of mysterious. Overall the game is good for someone just starting out!
