Good to see another Haxe coder, I see more and more every time.
I've been up for too long... I'm stuck at the bit where you repair the hoverbike. Incredible work though, I like the graphical style.

Good to see another Haxe coder, I see more and more every time.
I've been up for too long... I'm stuck at the bit where you repair the hoverbike. Incredible work though, I like the graphical style.
I also got stuck on the hoverbike part. I'm really into the style of this game though!
I finally figured out the hoverbike part!
Good ol' point'n'click adventure taking me back to Monkey Island days
Very smooth interface and story got me warmed up, I'd love to go through with it but I can't pick up that red jar, tried multiple times nothing happens. All in all fun game.
Oh my goodness, this is amazing! Incredible art, interesting story and characters in such a short game, and really nice music and sound! I'm flat out amazed and impressed!
I am incredibly impressed! I love the art, there's an amazing sense of atmosphere!
Wow, this is really impressive. The art is fantastic and the writing and music are good too.
Very very cool game with great atmosphere! Good job!
Nice!
Artwork is fantastic, and the radio messages are hilarious. Too bad there's not more, but it must have taken ages to draw these scenes! Audio is very fitting too, really feels like a DOS point and click.
This game has a real sense of place, which isn't easy to do. It felt like a little segment of a larger game, after you trek through the forest and before you scoot off to wherever that bike takes you. I would totally play that game, by the way.
Anyway, great work. Found all three endings. Loved the audio too.
Great game, loved it, took too long to get what to do with bike, but hey!
Really like the art style. Would have preferred if the dialogue only forwarded when I clicked instead of doing it automatically.
I had to play it 7 times to find all the endings. Really good work. Glad to see another point and click adventure. The art is amazing!
Great game! Obviously played through 3 times :). Got stuck on hoverbike part, but I couldn't be beat by adventure game!
Very impressed with how much you achieved in such small amount of time.
Very very slick. Well done!
Point'n'click adventure... now I haven't seen one of these in a long time.
Although I'm not sure how it fits the monster theme, this game is FREAKING AMAZING. I wish there was a full version of it. Got all 3 endings and want more!
Really love the art, very reminiscent of monkey island and the like. Great job!
Why does receiving the red jar teleport me to (that place)? And why can't I leave? Seemed arbitrary.
Text is really, really tough to read, especially the green one. Could use a better font, and a higher contrast border around it. Also, clicking while the text is up should skip to the next sentence and not make the character walk, I think..
Anyway, really great besides the points above. Amazing achievement! Beautiful graphics, creepy atmosphere. Mood and graphics 5/5!
I only got endings #2 and #3 though :( Tried a few things but couldn't get the last one.
Extremely well done. Cool/intriguing story, stellar art, great soundtrack... very very nice.
I someday hope to be able to create such content in so limited time myself. Great!
I especially like the humor and the art.
Quick guide for people who are struggling with this.
How to repair the hoverbike. Listen to the radio a few times until you hear DIY instructions on repairing a hoverbike. After that you'll get a new dialog option with Irma, which will make her repair the hoverbike.
How to get ending #1. Get the VR headset. Try to leave on hoverbike.
How to get ending #2. Get the VR headset. Take the red data jar from Irma, plug it into the machine and use the console.
How to get ending #3. DO NOT get the VR headset, ignore the door in the beginning completely. Leave on hoverbike.
For better or worse, a classic point-and-click adventure game. The art and sounds were amazing for a compo entry.
So, I'm stuck at the hoverbike repair part, damn I'm so bad at point & click XD (but I pointed everything and clicked everywhere ahah, I'm sure it's obviously in front of my eyes).
Ah and GG, nice arts/sounds
Nicely done; always a fan when somebody does a point-n-click adventure, since it's sort of a lost art these days! I really appreciated the context-sensitive menu design and artwork.
I've got two endings so far. Really enjoyed this, great graphics and story!
Looks amazing. The context sensitiv controlls are great.
I'm impressed you were able to make this for the 48 hour compo!
The audio and art are nice, the audio especially for the noise the terminal makes and the kickin song on the radio.
The ambiance is really well done. It sort of reminds me of Dark Seed a little bit.
[SPOILER WARNING]
One issue I have is, you discover how to fix the bike from the radio, which you repeat to the person standing... right next to the radio. It's also established when you turn the radio off that they are, in fact, listening to the radio.
It was enjoyable nonetheless.
Oh yeah, I also found the text difficult to read, especially when the game's not full-screen.
I'm not a huge point & click fan, but this one has a great mood. Good job!
Neat game! Like the graphix! How did you have enough time to create those graphix?! Really impressive!
Blew my socks off, you've kept the old adventure game tradition alive, and I loved the sci-fi elements. The art and sound design did a great job of building an atmosphere and I hope you continue this at some point, I'd love to keep playing and get some kind of explanation for the story.
How do you people manage to draw all those things in such little time!? Witchcraft I say!
This is awesome and it blows my mind that it's a compo entry.
I made it past the Hoverbike part haha! All those point-and-click games from elementary school finally came in handy!
By far the best gave I've played so far, the art and music are brilliant though the bass in the forest does weird things to my ears.
That was an amazing little game. Love the point and click style, reminds me of my DOS days. Only gripe would be the text being a little hard to read.
Graphics were well done, and the corrupted text effects were super cool!
Music is fitting for the atmosphere, and refreshing. Something about it reminded me of Earthbound! (love that game)
My one gripe is that sometimes I ended up queuing up too much dialog (my bad, I just like to click on everything), so I have to wait for it to all pass before it will execute another action for me.
But really great job on this one! I had to see all the endings. Somehow it's creepier to get the red jar before plugging in the green one... Got totally locked up inside the console room! AHHH
Can't for the life of me figure out how to fix the hoverbike but holy crap did this world hook me. At first I was like "oh a jungle adventure game, cool" and thought I'd just click a couple things and move on but when I walked into the facility I was like "woah wait wtf??" lol You set a mysterious tone/atmosphere right off the bat and next thing I knew I kept clicking to see more about the world/mystery. Very cool work, esp in such a short time!
I had to peek at the solution because I couldn't figure out the radio puzzle. Amazing game, thanks!
I liked it, and I wish the game wasn't as short. I don't understand how it relates to the theme though.
Amazing entry, beautiful and very coherent art.
It feels like a vertical slice of a bigger game, I want to see more :)
This game is incredible, especially considering it was a compo entry. The artwork was superb, the music was just right, and it was, albeit short, a complete game!
I had to play it 5 times to get all of the endings. If you just ride the hoverbike off into the sunset you're not a monster! ... although I guess maybe you are because you might have just stolen the hoverbike...
Oh wow! Colour me impressed!
I'm not a fan of point & click games but this was interesting, dark and humourous all at once, loved the art!
It reminds me of Another World, if only for the orange hair on the player.
Impressive! All that art in such a short span and what an evocative mood overall. Nice throwback to the heyday of point and click. Decent music too. Good work! Was I the monster?
Damn old style entry! Nice!
The game is deep and well structured.
The art is great!
The music fits well!
Well done!
This really took me back to playing old adventure games!
Love the art style and audio, but couldn't make it past the hoverbike puzzle - just like old times! ;)
I love this kind of adventure game! It's hard work for all the drawings! Picked by GB!
This was terrific! It was very easy to get into and everything worked well. Loved the sound design as well :).
Well done! I could only figure out 2 of the endings. The art and mood were great!
Wow, really great work. I wasn't sure how it fit in the with theme, I assume it was getting to that in the ending..
Stellar! I've played around with Haxe, but have yet to use it in an LD. Maybe I will one of these days!
Amazing graphics, superb writing. Tip of the hat to you.
stuck on the repair bike...but good game
Loved the visual style this game has - the character and environmental art reminds me of games like the Blackwell series. The music is fantastic at setting the tone - great work! It could have been longer and more connected to the theme, but I really liked this entry. Great work, keep it up! :)
Loved the art and animations, the "high" res and low-color palette gave the whole thing a nice style, though I found the choice of font a little difficult to read, only really a minor gripe.
The music was lighthearted and fun and worked well with the colourful imagery. I played through to all the endings and enjoyed the "win" condition, very "war games".
I got a James Dean vibe from the protagonist, I assume this was intentional?
Overall nice work! I enjoyed playing.
Love that adventure mood! Great game!
Ahh nostalgia, this was fun :} A solid entry!
Great work, I'd play a full game about this. :)
Really interesting game. I included it in part 13 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/1VzFVc1MuWc
Just awesome! Major props to you for a point and click adventure game. Insanely ambitious! Amazing!
Reminds me of good old days. Well done.
Pretty sweet. Wasn't expecting to play a traditional adventure game for this theme.
This game is awesome! I love the style and the story... Good job!
An enjoyable, well-presented point-and-click adventure. :-)
I'm amazed at what you have acheived in such a short time, loved the story and the art. You should develop it into something longer!
Great game !
It was good and nostaligic ! Very nice job on visuals and sound , great atmosphere, i really felt like I was playing a professional 90's adventure games. Good vibes !
I loved it :)
its Fry from futurama
Awesome adventure style. Good stuff.
nice old school graphics.
Really well made point 'n click game!
Very good and interesting game. Played over and over to find everything that there was. Only had a problem with the dialogue going too fast.
What I liked :
- almost everything, very good job !
What imo could be improved :
- readability (typo + text fx makes it really hard to read)
- that "I think the author wanted to add more tings but didn't have time" feeling. Not that bad, thanks to endings feedback handled correctly, but still there.
Excellent overall, went through all the stories without boring phases =)
Awesome adventure! Had a blast.
Awesome quest. Good job
