The graphics are a little blurry, but I liked the style. Nice short game. :)

Bit blurry, not sure if it froze or the game ended when I was looking at Earth being shot.

Nice first creation :-) Very short, and more of a interactive short story, but you still managed to get some mood in there. :-)

Can't open it, says a .dll file is missing :(

Thank you for the comments :) The game does in fact end at the shot of the earth. I had the idea of that being a final look back and leaving the fate of earth for the player to decide, however it seemed better in my head and perhaps we should have put in an actual end screen.

Also were not entirely sure why the graphics went blurry, we assume its because they were stretched across the screen. Hopefully in the future we will learn how to properly apply the graphics without ruining them. We'll also be adding sound and music into our next game and may come back to this one to sort of remake it.

If you get the missing MSVCR110.dll you may have to install http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679#
Sorry about that.

The graphics are nice and the story is atmospheric. It's more like a cutscene than a game, but it's nice work for the Jam!

dll missing

the-lag-pack 2014-08-27 14:26

What dll does it say you are missing?

follett 2014-08-27 15:28

I didn't really like the blurry (stretched?) graphics but I was interested the entire time. Really good work!

Art style is nice, good entry.

It asked me for msvcr120.dll. I downloaded it and put it in the game folder, then gave me another error.

Installing vcredist_x86.exe from the above link should fix the msvcr120.dll error.

Let me know whether it works or not. :D

It lacks of gameplay.. At least an opportunity to interact with other people somehow. I liked how the surroundings were drawed, but the main character seemed disharmonic (stretched vertically?)

I wasn't sure if the game ended when I reached the 2nd level of the bridge...
