An interesting idea, I like it! However I feel like the name could have been better...

Nice game, I have a few suggestions though
1) Faster movement (it takes a while to get from point a to b)
2) Perhaps add a few hints so we know what to do
3) Maybe add an animation for the character.

Overall, a very nice game :)

thanks :D @Sacha862 yeah i came up with the name at the last minute...and it is actually terrible! XD

@EthanWebster Thanks! :D I was working on a couple of animations for the character.

The game has an interesting feel to it, well done making it!
I thing some ambient sound track would lift the game. I got stuck pretty quick and didn't manage to figure out how to continue. By flashing the buttons or secretes currently on screen if the player is stuck too long, I thing you would be able to keep the gamer in the game longer.
Good job and I hope you get rid of the flue soon!

The game has a cool idea but the controls feel really unresponsive

I like the game, but I don't feel like I'm IN the game...

hawksandwich 2014-08-24 21:36

By that I mean the controls aren't very 'vivid' for a lack of a better word... Other than that, awesome game

THIS IS MAZING! 8.5/10

miziziziz 2014-08-24 21:57

I agree with everyone about the controls; are you using charactercontrollers or rigidbodies? imo, rigidbodies seem to work better in 2d.
otherwise, it looks cool!

ddfranky 2014-08-25 07:10

Thanks everyone! :D @OnePuppet thanks! Yeah I was afraid of that. I will keep it in mind for the next time though!
@Miziziziz I use rigidbody.

I think that the main problem with the "unresponsive feeling" of the controls is due to the lack of speed in the horizontal movement. I need to test it if it's true or not.

Nice. The only thing I'd change is the moving background. Slow the animation or make it static.

nonentheless 2014-08-25 19:39

I agree with faster movement, would be more fun probably (or maybe i'm just too impatient ;))

amour-maternel 2014-08-27 06:45

Faster movements are indeed necessary. I find the background to be gorgeous.

dans17 2014-08-27 08:24

Cool game, hard at times.

Nice idea, I think I chose wrong at the end.
Make him move faaster...

jahmaican 2014-08-27 15:11

I'd also prefer if it was faster-paced, but then I quite like the graphics, it's quite moody in it's weird, unfinished way. And one big thing it's missing - it needs some unstettling music.

mrbungle 2014-08-27 21:17

Very stylish game, I really the graphics. It feels like the player character is stationary while the world around him moves, not sure whether that's intentional, but it means it lacks a bit of player agency.

artamus 2014-08-28 21:11

Nice game, congrats!

esayitch 2014-08-29 05:56

Pretty nice platformer. Just needs faster movement :P Get well soon mate!

sunflower 2014-09-02 20:06

Alright, completed it, got the not-the-bug crash at the end, though it required from me travelling quite a lot at very slow pace, and I didn't like that. ^^"
(plus, I got little idea why I'm collecting these circuity things)

Still, I admit, the square effect in the background was rather fancy. ^^

jukimv1986 2014-09-05 11:24

buon lavoro! The game level was complex and I liked the artsy background, but then for me the game was a bit slow to play and the controls felt a bit clunky. I can relate to your issue with illness because it happened to me once on a Ludum Dare too and the results were not the best :) Hope you get better soon. Good job!

androniq 2014-09-15 13:14

I'd love to see what this could be with more time. It seems a pretty big world and has an interesting/mysterious feel.
