Very interesting concept, although it felt very slow paced, I understand it was necessary for the dungeon at the end, but even though, going around the land before it was a bit of a pain for how slow it felt xD, but great game overall!

That's odd, I was just testing the game on a slower PC and it ran more than twice as slow as it's supposed to - maybe you're having the same bug? If anyone else finds it slow, try running the game with an fps counter, like Fraps, and tell me what it shows.

Haha :D That ending :D Really liked the graphics and the mood of this game. I like discovering landscapes like this.

I love how managed to cram so much adventure into such a small space! I almost quit because of the controls at first, I wanted the arrows to correspond to where I was travelling :P But after I got over that, I loved the mood and the exploratory nature of it. Bit of a dissapointing ending, but also a bit funny :)

I liked the mood of the game, although the movement was too slow.

Pretty cool concept here, but your control scheme was a bit frustrating. Why not just let the player control with the arrow keys?

I really liked this! I love the exploration, and the challenge area at the end was a good conclusion. Kudos!

Looks like you put a lot of effort in this. I like the sound. the movement is a bit slow for me, but I think it fits wll for this game.

Nice game overall. But the controls. controls are could be better. It is difficult to figure where're u facing at the moment. Especially if u have some vision problems

The mood and story were really interesting. As soon as you hear more people talking about secrets, I wanted to know what it was :D

On the other hand, that part inside the mountain was a bit off in my opinion. I had fun exploring and trying to find stuff in order to complete quests, and then it changed in.. more of an obstacle course.

Great entry though. :)

Excuse my french but that was fucking awesome. I loved the almost everything about it, the desolate feeling, the exploration and the puzzling bit at the end. Also the music was epic, great job guys. :D

A bit slow, but with a really good mood :)

Neat game! good use of the theme to create an interesting world to explore. I found the controls difficult to get used to, why not have each arrow button take you in that direction instead of turning. Also I had the inventory panel open without realizing it and kept thinking I was walking off the side of the map because the panel and the background are both black. Music and subtle wind sound sets a great mood.

@ciaodavinci: I made the controls like that because I made sense to me when I started out... then I got used to it, and didn't realise how counter-intuitive it is x)

Thanks for the comments, everyone. Glad you all like it.

Congratulation for making this game ! \o/
I had an awesome time ! Thanks for making this experience : The one and only bad thing i can find is the Weird control scheme. (And i was a little disapointed by the end)? But the rest is great ! Awesome music, Cool feeling of discovery, Nice minimalistic graphics. Great Job Guys !

The fog mechanic really makes the game. Good sound and ideas you put into this one. Cool stuff man.

nassi 2014-12-12 15:16

Played through it, but still couldn't get used to the "tank controls". You managed to build a cool atmoshpere with such minimalistic elements. Not something I would've expected from the theme.

yournerdyjoe 2014-12-13 17:48

Great story but the controls took a little getting use to. Good game overall though.

benjamin-soule 2014-12-18 03:11

Hey everything about this game is cool. First I was surprised with the control but I got used to it pretty fast. The story part is nice. I was also surprised when I saw the "arcade" part but here again it ended to be pretty fun to play. Just one negative point. Usually when you press action during a textbox with letter spawn fx it just jump to full-text display, in your case you jump back to the text fx start which is a bit annoying.

I like the minecraftesque mood of it :) surely come from the music.
