This one was pretty! And it sounded nice and the mood and theme really were polished and it had a great little message in there. Fun! Not very action packed however.

drcicero 2014-08-25 02:57

Woops, tried to run it with wine and got 'Cabinet not valid'? Sorry, maybe that's not your fault.

jnyknn 2014-08-25 15:20

You really did this in 48 hours? Wow.

jaj 2014-08-25 15:21

I'll have a timelapse to prove it later :) Still playing games now. :D

mess110 2014-08-25 15:24

cool game

yodamaster 2014-08-25 15:25

Very nice Zelda-style game. Like it. Although my browser kept scrolling down when I pressed arrow-down for a while. Nice idea with the "seeing the truth" artifact.

punyone 2014-08-25 15:26

That was quite beautiful.

dramentiaras 2014-08-25 15:26

The message of this game is great, and the graphics were pretty!

psychomonster 2014-08-25 15:30

I love it. Cool puzzles, cool story, nice game art... very well polished too... great job. tagged it as a favorite for this ld!

superpokeunicorn 2014-08-25 15:30

Aw, that was really sweet.

local-minimum 2014-08-25 15:31

I can't get past the first dialog (and can't press enter while writing my name) in the web-version (ff).

kuchalu 2014-08-25 15:31

I really love the art style!

jellycakes 2014-08-25 15:31

Pretty cool, liked the idea. The art looked nice too. Good job.

themorfeus 2014-08-25 15:32

The best game i've seen so far on ludum dare. I love it!

elkiwydev 2014-08-25 15:33

Fantastic little story you came out with in only 48 hours, good job. 5/5

drewvancamp 2014-08-25 15:33

LOL I'm a dude playing a girl named after myself! Didn't see that coming! Like the music and visuals.

Wow, cool game! You managed to stuff it with something meaningful, exhibit a killer dual world environment with lots of elegant features, a challenging puzzle, really funny characters, and simple controls. So easy to understand. And I played through to the end because I love adventures! Fantastic work!

sputnik 2014-08-25 15:35

Cool mecanic, cool theme and mood!

koalamo 2014-08-25 15:37

Beautiful visuals and very funny. Good stuff!

c_livid 2014-08-25 15:38

Graphics look awesome. Soundtrack is nice too. When playing in the browser and holding down the down arrow the site scrolls down :/. I love the way you didn't make the whole world change but instead show a window into another world. I also like the message of the game :).

agecaf 2014-08-25 15:45

Quite an interesting story! The aesthetic elements fitted each other perfectly!

jaj 2014-08-25 15:52

The scroll bar thing in firefox is really annoying, it's not a problem in Chrome. I'm looking for a solution. I'll probably just end up making the page shorter.

lyszie 2014-08-25 15:53

Aw your game is so amazing! I'm so sad it crashed at some point on the web and I have a mac so no luck playing with windows build :c but i love love love and want to play more :D

jaj 2014-08-25 15:59

I might have access to a mac tomorrow. If so I'll make a mac build!

I *think* that the issue with scrolling down is also solved (with a little javascript). If anyone still has this problem, please tell me. When I play in firefox it doesn't happen anymore.

badlydrawnrod 2014-08-25 16:45

It was beautiful and meaningful. Usually games with a message are not fun, but this one was.

jakecoxon 2014-08-25 17:41

Really good idea and great graphics. It kept crashing the page in chrome though so I couldn't complete it

dragonxvi 2014-08-25 18:31

Maybe a bit heavy on its message :p, but well executed & some use of the dual-world mechanic & temple puzzles. Pretty cool!

tannernetwork 2014-08-25 18:49

Really cool graphics.

adventureislands 2014-08-25 19:12

Really nice game with sweet message, I really liked the old game boy color like graphical style. I don't have much to add, this was really polished entry!

tomvert 2014-08-25 19:27

Nice little idea and visual :)

rnlf 2014-08-25 19:31

Perfect game! I love games with a message and this one has a great message, presented in an unobtrusive manner.

The pretty presentation are just a nice add-on. I really loved this game!

rnlf 2014-08-25 19:38

Also, your name sounds like an acronym to my game's name!

hirsch 2014-08-25 19:48

Wow, i am always suprised what people can make in 48h, this game feels really polished :)

priorblue 2014-08-25 22:19

Interesting story and nice setting. The pixel art is lovely.

kunonooni 2014-08-26 02:31

Awesome retro style!

huruey 2014-08-26 03:30

Great art, music and style. I love the LD games that actually have an interesting world to explore. :)

larzan 2014-08-26 11:37

Well done, orange is actually my favourite color, haha.
Like the style + sounds, nice how you put the message in there, love it!

modbox 2014-08-26 14:38

Nice and small RPG style game, its kinda cute. 5 star for mood!

tautnerve 2014-08-26 14:43

Wow, this was great.
Awesome art and game design, and very fun gameplay.
Incredible achievement for 48 hours, well done!

lorniebear 2014-08-26 14:49

I liked the message in there

daanvanyperen 2014-08-26 19:53

I'm in love with this entry, really cool!

leafthief 2014-08-26 21:36

I liked it very much. It was touching somehow. I loved the setup and how you introduced the characters at the beginning. I was amazed at how fast I felt friends with the green boy.

Great job! Sincerely.

alvarop 2014-08-27 01:30

I enjoy games that "say" something. Yours had a nice little message!

dylanwolf 2014-08-27 03:19

The retro graphics/sound are great, and the mechanic is both interesting and a good use of the theme.

I really liked the story and its execution--there was a clear message, but it didn't come off as preachy or clichéd. That's tough to do right.

steve 2014-08-27 14:20

I couldn't complete the game as it kept crashing, however I really enjoyed what I played.

franklins-ghost 2014-08-27 14:37

Beautiful game, really enjoyed the exploration and seeing the story unravel. Liked the way you use the artifact also, was a nice touch and nice use of the theme. On my list of favourite games so far.

jaj 2014-08-27 15:14

Thanks everyone!
I've made a mac version. Please tell me if it works properly. It works for me but I havn't ported to mac before.

kidanger 2014-08-27 15:21

Really nice, well done!

pythong 2014-08-27 16:45

I wanted to play the Mac version because the web version is also not working for me, but my Mac says, the ffile is broken (the .app file, not the zip file :/ )

jaj 2014-08-27 16:52

Downloading after uploading it, I seem to have problems myself as well, though just using my USB stick, everything is fine. It's really weird and I can't find the solution.

jaj 2014-08-27 18:31

I'm sorry, I've looked at this for hours and can't fix it. It seems something is 'changed' in the file when I upload it, which makes gatekeeper think it's so unthrustworthy that it gives you absolutely no way to open it. I'll have to remove the mac version since I can't make it work. If anyone knows how to fix it please tell me.

kayz 2014-08-27 19:54

Beautiful game with a nice take on the theme.

ghostinthesoft 2014-08-28 06:48

Great entry and nice message

safar-pavel 2014-08-28 08:18

Very nice graphics, I like the sound efects and music too. Great work.

micahcowan 2014-08-28 08:47

Simply fantastic.

dickpoelen 2014-08-28 10:13

That was very well done

solifuge 2014-08-29 00:42

Wow, this is neat! I would have liked a more skill-based challenge for the "lens of truth" section. I really dug the graphics and SFX, though, and I think it's cool that you took on a challenge like this for LD. Good writing, too... definitely some of the best I've seen for the RPG games I've played with this Dare.

eddy93 2014-08-29 23:08

The emotions in this game made me smile! There are so many good things to this game. Good art, mood(like always) and good story.
If I need to name a minor thing it would be: the "changing world" thing in the temple didn't always feel natural. but a lot of point for you sir!

scriptblocks 2014-08-30 02:25

Great Game!

alvivar 2014-08-31 03:37

great game.

mase 2014-08-31 21:33

Tragically, the web version crashed a couple of times on me so I couldn't finish it... I'll abstain from voting. It was pretty enjoyable though. Nice variety of sprites.

jukimv1986 2014-09-01 07:32

the idea is great, and in general this has a lot of potential! If I weren't so directionally challenged I would have liked to get out of the temple...

metalchouchen 2014-09-01 15:18

Whoa! I'm blast, really awesome experience! Graphics really cool, plus the game mechanics to go out the temple is really great and there as a good short story. Really, Congrats!

commodorekid 2014-09-01 22:14

This was really well designed. Smart idea with the story too. I liked it a lot. Would like a longer version of something like this :)

miotatsu 2014-09-02 03:01

This is without a doubt my favourite entry. Great art, great music, very interesting game mechanic and cool puzzles, and a positive take-away message.

grayhaze 2014-09-02 10:54

Beautiful and well thought out, tackling a subject you don't often see in games. I really enjoyed this. Well done! :)

datacr4sh 2014-09-04 03:03

highest rating i've given out yet, great job with the theme and mechanics!

artamus 2014-09-04 09:43

Amazing game, congrats!

drcicero 2014-09-04 19:31

Didn't know my android tablet could webgl. A bluetooth keyboard and i could play it.
Nice game!

runvs 2014-09-04 21:39

Very well executed!

cliffracerx 2014-09-05 18:38

Played through the whole game, nicely done! You should consider expanding it some more as a post-ludum-dare thing, but it's pretty good as-is.

markusfisch 2014-09-05 21:17

Fun game with a message all in 48 hours! Well done!

vividhelix 2014-09-06 22:40

Good graphics, nice theme and great execution!

Jeremias 2014-09-07 15:12

I like the message and how you communicate it. The graphics and music fit very well, too. Good job!

posva 2014-09-07 16:13

Graphics are really cool. I couldn't end it though...
BTW igot stuck 1 or 2 minutes when entering my name (ed). Then I realised I the name must be longer ^^

zerkruemler 2014-09-07 18:35

So cool. I like the story. Good idea well implemented.

jaj 2014-09-07 19:25

@Posva (ed) good point, first names can have two letters, my tired brain didn't think of that...

lokarunith 2014-09-07 22:08

The metaphor of getting trough obstacles, between reality and perspective is amazing. I think you could do much more with the concept, but it's superb for a game made in a weekend.

naytron 2014-09-08 13:15

Great job, loved that the message was folded into the gameplay, it felt very natural. Polished graphics, quality audio and an interesting mechanic. 5'd.

snicklodocus 2014-09-08 21:54

I really enjoyed the message in this game. Played it in Firefox without any issues. Graphics and music were great! Good job!

egor-idiot 2014-09-15 17:24

Very nice story and interesting puzzle, Also good mood and cute art. Nice entry.
