Interesting visual. The mosaic on the face, the bird. Hard work during these days,

hexagore 2015-08-25 01:29

Well this is incredibly mysterious and beautiful. I don't think I'll ever find out if there's an end to this but I must admit I'm intrigued!

manou 2015-08-25 07:27

Very artistic! I'm sure I had a nightmare like this in my childhood. Top5.

vaida 2015-08-25 07:27

Looks amazing, the jagged audio fits the game well, and the text is stylised in a pleasing way. The pixelated face is a nice touch. Great work! :)

pereubu 2015-08-25 08:53

I'd like to be that good at "minimalistic visuals with really fancy effects"

judasbenhur 2015-08-25 09:13

Looks pretty but there isn't much in terms of gameplay sadly.

randomhuman 2015-08-25 09:22

Very atmospheric, beautiful graphics and audio. Could do with respawning a bit closer to the action.

sydream 2015-08-25 09:30

The visual artistry is great, love that. Everything else I'm quite puzzled by as I don't understand what's the goal of the game, don't have any reference on my health or enemies or anything else. I don't think it quites align with the theme either, at least not knowing what's going on... But nice visual/ambience exercise :)

chuckeles 2015-08-25 10:50

Great aesthetics and mood. The sounds add to that too. However, I came to the arena some other way the enemies did not start spawning. So at first I didn't know what to do (and walked through those houses).

So from a gameplay perspective, it's OK. From aesthetics, it is freaking awesome!

seadads 2015-08-25 10:56

Ambiance and visuals are awesome, love the little effects and very satisfying cutting through those guys! Not sure if I understand how it relates to theme but otherwise great. :)

rocketship 2015-08-25 12:16

Excellent mood and aesthetic. Loved the harrowing feeling in the game. Stylish all around.

local-minimum 2015-08-25 13:24

Very consistent how the audio and visuals work together. The controls where sort of hard in terms of staying alive. But I expect that was not the point of the game. I really enjoyed it. Must have been a lot of work going into it. I would have liked to encounter more story parts than just what I got from the bird and the death. I think the game could be really awesome if the story evolves over the course of one dying and dying and dying. Anyways, very beautiful and inspiring game.

conormn 2015-08-25 13:32

You win best title screen. Excellent atmosphere, I really enjoyed being in that world. Thanks for making it!

boaheck_artgent 2015-08-25 14:20

It's extremely artistic and seems to have a lot of thought put into it for 3 days. I watched your progress on twitter and downloaded this as soon as possible after the jam.

lane 2015-08-25 15:00

9/10, couldn't kill the birds.

hive-interactive 2015-08-25 15:01

Praise the sun!

tmpxyz 2015-08-25 15:18

The visual is great, and have a style, though I didn't get what to do yet.

dejvo 2015-08-25 15:51

Another one of theese Artsy games. I don't get them really but well made i guess.

kai20 2015-08-25 16:12

THe Game is really intresting but the long run to the middle was not so much fun and the camera is a bit strange

tuism 2015-08-25 16:43

Looks and feels incredible. The shader work is amazing - are they standard unity shaders (the cool new free ones are great!) or did you write them yourselves? They were super well curated - the face mosaic effect was an excellent touch.

Had to run the game in 640 x 480 or it would lag. Well done :P

However there's not much of any game there, I couldn't find anything that I could do other than fall into the water and die. And I clipped through everything, the big shiny door - clipped through, the down arrow - clipped through.

The long tedious walk was also a bit of a downer, especially since there was... Not much at the end of it...

Again, looks amazing :) Wish there were more game!

sararycow 2015-08-25 17:25

Beautiful and intriguing game. Hard to say if it is related to the topic but I enjoyed the experience.

hate-marina 2015-08-25 20:53

Great camera, DOF, overall post-processing and I'm high now because of sound :D Not sure about gameplay though.

leaden 2015-08-26 07:19

Nice work with overall art and characters animation. This is a rare gem on LD.

jimjam 2015-08-26 07:29

Lovely atmosphere and graphics, but the one-hit kills and difficult attack timing, along with having to restart down that long pier, made it frustrating.

headchant 2015-08-26 11:53

Hey, this looks amazing. Love the long pier and the bird. Combat is hard but that's ok. Thick athmosphere and really nice sounds as well.

qkerguelen 2015-08-26 16:13

I don't know if there is an ending, but if there is I didn't find it. But it is a very mysterious game with a unique mood, it feels like there is a lot to learn about this guy and this world and i would love to see a more complete game of this!

obvious_san 2015-08-26 16:59

Really artistic and great mood! Atmosphere is top notch, I just could not figure out what I should do with these towers. But great game after all! :]

manuelgf 2015-08-27 08:13

Gameplay is nice, but graphics and ambient are perfect. If you develop it out more, I want to see it!

designernap 2015-08-27 09:38

I really like the tone and atmosphere in this entry. Audio is great, reminds me of the signal in the film "mission to mars". Would have liked more of a conclusion or end event but great work nonetheless

chris-olsen 2015-08-27 09:40

Nice little intriguing piece. Not really sure what's up but I was engrossed nonetheless.

fantasieleben 2015-08-27 12:15

Enjoyed the atmosphere! First time I went to town nothing would spawn. Drowned myself and went there again to see some action.

tmalicet 2015-08-27 13:47

Looks incredible!

literal_games 2015-08-27 15:36

Funny kind of "end" if that's what the final text was. Nice graphics and made me think, very impressive

dikkop 2015-08-27 15:49

pretty cool, but weird, but cool, but weird game...

beardogames 2015-08-27 20:59

Very moody and graphically interesting, and the audio matches perfectly! It brought to mind Killer 7 in more than a few ways. Very nice!

robothobodanceparty 2015-08-28 09:57

Simple yet very effective graphics. I love this, its in my top five favorites so far! Keep up the great work, I look forward to future projects!

inbetweengames 2015-08-28 16:53

That was very disturbing. I liked it a lot.

oadt 2015-08-28 18:51

Fantastic atmosphere! Graphics and audio is perfect. I get to the end, well at least I think so...

gamepopper 2015-08-28 19:02

There is a really good atmosphere in this game, it's very eerie and the audio static adds a good level of distortion. I wish there was a bit more of a description of what to do.

theholychicken 2015-08-28 21:29

Gorgeous minimalist style! Intrigues the player to understand but frustrates all attempts to do so. Art of the absurd.

wdebowicz 2015-08-29 10:54

I like the graphic style and how it make the mood. It would be nice to have some checkpoint when the battle begin. Also I feel lack of possibility to move the camera with my mouse.

dat_not_my_game 2015-08-29 11:20

Great visual!

shackhal 2015-08-30 01:31

The game have nice graphics with a nice aesthetic focus. The music is jagged, but it doesn't feel annoying.

But the camera doesn't help too much with the action and I don't have any idea to how it ends. Maybe the bird gives you a hint of that.

Overall, the game passes.

hjalte500 2015-08-30 13:33

I loved the mystery and style of this game. And that bird was cool. I dont even know it was just great. Only wish that I could control the camera more but somehow it still fit. Also dem particles. It was great good job!

beaulamb1992 2015-08-30 14:23

Love the visuals :) the sound makes it super creepy

alxr 2015-08-30 14:26

So pleased to see that kind of entries! Congrats!

nomand 2015-08-30 19:14

Very well put together aesthetic. Visuals, sound, camera work really well. I like the typography as well. Well done!

firetwin 2015-08-31 12:12

Really unique mood to this game. Makes me very curious to find out more about it. I actually feel like this graphical style would be great for and adventure game with a really unique story to it.

grhyll 2015-08-31 16:54

Wow, beautiful, and nice feelings! The sound is both irritating and perfect.

general 2015-09-03 14:43

I liked fencing with the enemies. But for me, as for some other commenters, the camera position was uncinvenient.

Your game is at 25:20

crucknuk 2015-09-13 16:02

fallin'in a dream.
Graphics and atmosphere are amazing. A mysterious game that intrigued me. You did an hard and good work

jupiter_hadley 2015-10-17 18:20

Really nice atmosphere. I included it in my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/gLe7oOEiGe0
