Pretty difficult. Definitely adheres to the theme though.

ultravisitor 2014-12-08 03:34

Cool idea. Its nice that I can continue. I find it to be fairly challenging. Maybe give us more white dashes at first.

taviandir 2014-12-08 03:35

Difficult game, but I love the concept to bits!! Is there a win screen in the end somewhere? To really nail the concept with "entire game on one screen" one could've included a frame around the game, to really make it look like you're playing on a heart rate monitor device screen. :)

ghostbomb 2014-12-08 03:35

Interesting game. There seemed to be some some sort of story going on about someone that got into an accident, but sadly the game was too unforgiving for me to finish without getting frustrated and quitting.

devwouter 2014-12-08 03:37

Took me a second to learn the commands, but the game is nicely done and works quite well. Didn't like the fact that I had to install Java (points are not affected by this). The eye closing and opening didn't seem to match for some reason, but the rest is nicely polished

somfunambulist 2014-12-08 03:38

Great work! Crazy fun, very challenging, and innovative. The text sound is a bit grating, but the game sound is perfect. I wasn't able to beat it. Is there an ending, or do you just go for as long as you can?

binarybot 2014-12-08 03:39

This game is fun! I really like the concept. I think it gets a little repetitive after a few rounds, so maybe you could mix it up with a few more elements. Overall its pretty good!

sam101 2014-12-08 03:44

I really love your take on the theme ! Your game is really fun to play, I didn't expect that at all.

raincole 2014-12-08 03:49

@Somfunambulist @Mixer
The game has an ending. It has 6 stages.
(but I admit some of them are too difficult)

gaspard_ 2014-12-08 04:17

Great Theme interpretation!
I here there are six stages, but sadly the first one is already to hard for me :(
I also liked the atmosphere!

lekochen 2014-12-08 05:38

Excellent take on the theme. Great mechanics with well-designed visual/sound effects. Really fun to play from start to end. The pillar level is too hard; others are okay. Very well done.

johngalt 2014-12-08 05:49

Interesting! Simple but very cool!

raincole 2014-12-08 06:01

@lekochen
I agree with you. Actually I just decreased the difficulty of 5th stage("pillar" one) in post combo version.

@those who can't beat first stage:
You have to fill the entire energy bar. Just 'keeping alive' doesn't bring you anywhere.

ian-morrison 2014-12-08 07:45

A neat concept well executed. Graphics and sound are minimal but serve the game's theme very nicely.

rincewind_cz 2014-12-08 07:53

Very minimal, but I like it really much! Unfortunately it's too hard for me. Nice adaptation of the theme!

wakka 2014-12-08 07:57

Cool game with neat graphics and fun gameplay. I really like the idea. I only would have preffered an endless style game where you're going to die a lot faster and your goal would be to stay alive as long as possible. But all in all a great game!

blackbulletiv 2014-12-08 08:00

Interesting concept and gameplay, but too hard in my opinion. Try as I might, I couldn't get past the first level.

erik 2014-12-08 08:10

This is a great demonstration of what can be done with an LD48 game. Very impressive.

furrikira 2014-12-08 08:17

I played the harder and more challenging original compo version and I made it!
Wow, that's really a good interpretation and wow this is a miracle for an ending~ I love it!

fil00dl 2014-12-08 13:40

nice entry, really addictive, score is missing

andrea 2014-12-08 14:43

Loved the game! Very hard very quick, but it would definitely be my kind of game with a better learning curve!

oskardevelopment 2014-12-08 17:10

Innovative, good looking and generally fun! A bit too hard at the start, so it could been good to be given a little more health at the beginning. :)

frondeus 2014-12-08 17:33

For a moment I felt like I can really save someone.

aden-manson 2014-12-08 18:16

11/10!

sketchygalore 2014-12-08 18:45

Very clever! I really like this use of the theme!

cyros 2014-12-08 18:46

Great use of the theme!

catonmars 2014-12-08 18:47

Nice idea and fun gameplay! Also the mood is good. Well done!

pfilzweg 2014-12-08 18:50

Nicely done! Quiet challenging, love the music!

iaknihs 2014-12-08 18:53

Great Idea and well executed. Much like.

legiion 2014-12-08 19:02

simple and addictive

cryogenesis 2014-12-08 19:04

Very cool mechanic

cryogenesis 2014-12-08 19:05

Very cool mechanic, great job!

doubstract 2014-12-08 19:14

So clever game! I think it's very innovative.

amydee 2014-12-08 19:46

Tough until you get the hang of it, really love the concept. Worthy of expansion!

jmborden 2014-12-08 19:55

I like the simplicity of this game. Nice work!

johnbrynte 2014-12-08 19:55

Truly interesting game that quite surprisingly puts you in a quite tense emotion. It makes you feel a bit bad when you lose. Nicely done!

qwefasd 2014-12-08 20:02

Very well, I think it is hard to survive with the heartbeat I made.

halleflux 2014-12-08 21:15

INSANELY difficult, even the post-compo version I tried I could only get to level 2 after about a dozen tries.

cbear_wallis 2014-12-08 21:45

I really really enjoyed this ^_^

HelkeGames 2014-12-08 22:00

I really like the mechanics! Congrats!!

groydis 2014-12-09 00:50

Great interpretation of the theme, I love it. The whole concept is just really really cool. The game it's self is quite hard though. Great Work!

rabbit 2014-12-09 01:22

Multiple times I died as soon as it restarted. :/

ryannielson 2014-12-09 01:33

I really like the concept, it's super tough and it's interesting how you have to plan your route far ahead to succeed. It also looks amazing, to stuck with an aesthetic and everything looks great and not out of place. The sounds, as simple as they are, are also fantastic.

I'd like to see a slow ramp-up to give the player some time to figure out the mechanics.

Overall, fantastic work!

minibobbo 2014-12-09 02:17

Echoing the "fun but tough" comments.

bkgh 2014-12-09 03:59

Challenging, but not punishing.
Very well done!

harley77 2014-12-09 04:15

The mood is great. The game reminds me of a sane version of WaveWave. I think this would work REALLY well as a single tap control mobile game.

chris-delta 2014-12-09 04:17

So sad, and so good for being so sad :(

antworks 2014-12-09 04:23

Totally awesome!!!!

cmdr 2014-12-09 04:27

Very good game. I love the graphics. I wish there was a background music to build up more of the tension. I think it's a pretty original idea and very well executed. Congrats!

el-pepi 2014-12-09 05:28

Very good. I like the idea. It's hard but good.

alvarop 2014-12-09 06:49

Very nice presentation and quite difficult I found.

puppetmaster 2014-12-09 19:54

I like the mood and the idea.
It's very difficulty because of having to many red line at the startpoint. Well done!

hypnoticbytes 2014-12-09 20:00

Crazy game and idea! Love it! 10/10

flashlight 2014-12-09 20:43

The idea is simple but work! Simple mechanism but it works. I really want to see it on mobile platform!

troilk 2014-12-09 22:40

Awesome game, very addictive, though very hard. I was only able to get to level with gates. Nice adaptation of the theme :)

endesga 2014-12-09 23:48

awesome game! :D I love it

xanjos 2014-12-10 01:34

Took me a while to work out how to play this but once I did, it suddenly became ridiculously addictive. Really interesting concept and a good take on the theme.

barryrowe 2014-12-10 02:54

This is a great game. This is my favorite entry so far. Also, if there was a category for rating "Rage Inducing" I would vote 5 stars there :). I finally gave up on the barrier level. I just couldn't make it through. So hard, but very very fun. Great entry.

soulgame 2014-12-10 11:29

5/5 innovation and theme. How the hell did you manage to make both an original gameplay and a such engaging concept... Very cool. Maybe having a very small zoom out, letting us see the border of the actual monitor screen, would be even more powerful and engaging.

nicepenguins 2014-12-11 01:19

Very very cool, the gameplay fits perfectly with the story of the game and different gameplays for each level is also very cool !
Maybe this need a little bit music (something minimalist) and voice acting (respirating et etc..) But this is a jam right ? :)

milktoast 2014-12-11 01:27

Really difficult, but you can get into a flow. Simple and addictive. Well done.

lynx 2014-12-11 02:39

Interesting concept, it would be more fun if it was sped up a bit, but then again I'm just a fan of twitch games (hence mine)

Anyways, great concept!

geckoo1337 2014-12-11 06:37

The game is nicely done and works quite well. Well done ++

devark 2014-12-11 07:29

Really enjoyed this. Great idea for a game.

oranebeast 2014-12-11 07:42

Wow. I would totally buy the app for this

dcolgan 2014-12-11 08:02

Awesome game, really nice graphics and a very cool concept. And a compelling story to boot. Fairly challenging, but definitely a good experience.

kirbytails7 2014-12-11 08:26

Very nice, and cute ending. =)

inhelli 2014-12-11 08:42

Very good game! Minimal and intresting, cool idea =)

regisrquoi 2014-12-11 08:51

15 mins to go really? Ahah, took me almost an hour!(played the compo version)
It's so difficult sometime, specially first phase I think (which is bad, cause it makes the goal less clear.)
I love how you got the theme. This is really interesting. The gameplay is really cool, it feels fun and the idea is so clever...

Good use of audio feedbacks too, that was important and you did it super well!!
It looks really cool also. Simple and clear for the player, but still coherent with the story. Good!
I love it really! :)

spotco 2014-12-11 10:20

Was fun, but stages are a bit too long without any variation.

rottenmage 2014-12-11 12:23

This is really difficult! I like how the level changes as you get closer to the end. Good work!

off 2014-12-11 13:33

Really nice idea, i had the exact global idea but didn't figure out how to make a game with. Your basic is really nice.
It's a little bit difficult, and there is not enough variation but it's defintevely a great idea to make a bigger game, maybe with more audio, people speaking around the person or with an hospital noise.
Really perfect for the theme.
Great job.

renatopp 2014-12-11 13:46

Nice! Very innovative game. Good Job

zkenshin 2014-12-11 13:48

Really fun entry. I might suggest giving a second or two at the start of each level without obstacles to give the player a second to see what the new obstacles are, but really well done. :)

udo 2014-12-11 14:39

Wow, this was pretty hard. But excellent job and great concept!

dokthar 2014-12-11 17:32

Great job. Interesting mechanics !

sh1rogane 2014-12-11 20:08

It is fun but I still couldn't beat it. I like the gameplay even when it is a bit too hard for my tasting.

thopis 2014-12-13 03:28

Very cool!love it!

apiotrw 2014-12-14 23:07

Really fit the theme. Nice visuals by the way

mrbadivan 2014-12-16 11:49

Very difficult and interesting game, Im not sure that word "fun" is appropriate here due to real mood of lifestraggling created.

vladik-plays 2014-12-16 17:19

Great game there. Enjoyed it alot...

lion 2014-12-16 20:16

Makes me ragequit obviously ! Nice concept though !
