Lovely art. Captions could have been a lot bigger though. To start with I did not realise they were there in the first place. I like the horizontal format of the game as well. Would have been nice if there had been more decisions to make as well

mickanio 2015-08-24 02:46

I liked this a lot! Good job keeping things small for the game jam, but also making a fully realized thing.

reallysketchypen 2015-08-24 03:11

I really like the art! I didn't notice the text at first though because it was so small... I wish there was more to this!

arcadonauts 2015-08-24 03:18

Man... this looks amazing. It's a shame it's so short.

josriley 2015-08-24 03:20

Not sure what the issue is, but nothing ever loads for me. Is it an issue with Chrome?

monetai 2015-08-24 03:28

Beautiful! It's going directly into my inspirational folder =) But it's way too short,

MattHartley 2015-08-24 03:29

Love the art!

ultravisitor 2015-08-24 03:39

I played out each of my fates. The music/sounds are all neat. All of the scenes are nice to play through. Its a bit short but very high quality and a promising choose your own adventure concept. Perhaps the story will continue?

conormn 2015-08-24 03:47

@Josh Riley - It's a big load and it's flash and all browser hate it.

@internetpaulicy - My main reason for making this was to try a visual only time based choose your own adventure prototype thing. As short as this is I think it served that purpose well. I do have plans for a much larger game in the near future.

whalebot 2015-08-24 04:40

I would have loved this to branch more than it did. That being said, awesome style, and good work.

buffalophil 2015-08-24 04:43

Great art/animation!

mactinite 2015-08-24 04:53

I really love the art, I wish you had more time to expand on this. Could be really fun!

lynx 2015-08-24 05:10

Those graphics are beyond amazing!!! I just wish the game didn't end so fast because I love this style and everything about this game! Please keep working on this post-compo.

walaber 2015-08-24 06:51

really cool look and setting/atmosphere! wish there was more to it!

theholychicken 2015-08-24 07:26

Very stylish!
Really wished there was more. Lots of potential for simple controls and slick storytelling!

miro662 2015-08-24 09:55

More a piece of interactive art than a game, but I liked it.

jorgemoag 2015-08-24 11:34

Very cute. Thanks for making it.

namnam 2015-08-24 12:16

Ho I'm so sad, this looks amazing and it's so short. The QTE gameplay seems to be cool. Realy great job for the graphics.

iossif 2015-08-24 16:36

too bad that it's so short. very nice graphics and music.

bodsey 2015-08-24 18:14

Best art I've seen so far. Very limited of course, but interesting!

mrpiglet 2015-08-24 19:59

This was really charming. I could definitely stand to play a longer version of this.

peterthehe 2015-08-24 20:54

Cute minimalist art style. Shame it's so short :(

boardtobits 2015-08-24 23:14

Really short, but a very cool concept. Would love to see more of it. And oh yeah, gorgeous art style.

sam-twidale 2015-08-24 23:17

Lovely setting and art style, short but left me wanting more!

terracottafrog 2015-08-25 00:44

The graphics are fantastic, but this game needs a lot more content. 72 hours may have been a better choice.

elenesski 2015-08-25 00:51

fun times. Loved the creepy monster. I could get past the first level.

hackhalo2 2015-08-25 01:10

You seriously need to expand this idea. It's such a great start, and I will gladly throw money at a longer one

ewchap 2015-08-25 02:51

Amazing how much comes across so quickly with this one. I love the idea of an adventure game where you are presented with a visual scenario and have to chose fast. Not sure if this has been done before but man it plays great. Would love to see this with a good amount of options added. Also I would give more points for style if I could.

vividhelix 2015-08-25 03:41

really short, but i like the alternate ending and the monster's attack is really sweet!

jmguillemette 2015-08-25 04:01

love the clean art! wish there was just a little more to the game then 2 options.

mklee 2015-08-25 05:27

Woah so slick. Really nice set up here and the idea of the simple time-sensitive actions is really clever. It's super short, but I would love to see this expanded into a full game!

im-oab 2015-08-25 06:20

Nice animation.

patacorow 2015-08-25 08:16

It's like playing on a well designed poster
loved the art style

dianouille 2015-08-25 08:52

Loved it !!! Too bad it's that short but still awesome !

johnhackworth 2015-08-25 09:04

Woah. Best audio / visuals of all the games I've played until now. Seriously impressive!

sydream 2015-08-25 09:51

Very polished, nice artistry with good quality audio/visual. However it's not short or super short, it's a micro adventure ... Would have loved if it was longer, you got something there, keep on working :)

steve 2015-08-25 15:50

Lovely art style

thepattybeast 2015-08-25 16:20

When you said super short you did not lie. The graphics and music were cool and i like the entire idea in general.

dkoding 2015-08-25 16:24

Controls did not work

archbang 2015-08-25 16:33

Beautiful, beautiful small game. Could easily imagine this developing into a nice little adventure.

geckojsc 2015-08-25 16:40

Amazing style, solid concept! I agree that it needs to be longer and maybe the Jam would have been a better choice :)

grabengroup 2015-08-25 17:22

Like Birke said, Lovely Artworks but more gameplay would have been great! I hope you think about adding some content!

ulydev 2015-08-25 17:23

I want more! Turn this into a full game!

tuism 2015-08-25 18:29

Excellent art, polish and overall presentation. It's all ace!

But erm, what game? It's not really, really really really a super pretty slideshow. With a big load time :p

s0lll0s 2015-08-25 20:04

Art is very cool and the concept is interesting. Looks very polished.

archonthewizard 2015-08-25 20:19

Art and music were fantastic. I was so excited about the game, and then it was over. Would love to see a complete version of this

joshua_burr 2015-08-25 20:47

Loved everything about this. I like the thought of a point and clicker type game where you need to make choices quickly. Looks and sounds amazing.

kmiitz 2015-08-25 21:50

I loved it. The design is great !!! Animations are perfect. Hope you'll continue a bit?

superfreak 2015-08-25 21:56

Adore the art! So adorable :3

foxboard 2015-08-25 22:59

The concept is nice, but the game is far to short to be able to be properly evaluated IMO. I like the take on the graphics, and would quite like to see more of it!

code-medicine 2015-08-25 22:59

This is really impressive! I love to see people do so much with so little. The visuals are top notch, animation is great, audio is solid, story is excellent. The only thing I wish for is more to play though. Nice job here.

kuchalu 2015-08-26 00:02

One of the best art styles i've seen this jam. Shame it's a bit short.

cjacobwade 2015-08-26 01:28

Enjoyed the aesthetics a lot. Wish the decisions were more meaningful.

mventurelli 2015-08-26 01:41

Amazing art, but you were not kidding when you said it was SUPER short haha :D

buzzwerd 2015-08-26 02:21

Unfortunately short, but what was there left us wanting more. Great art!

benmcnelly 2015-08-26 02:47

This could go places, love the animation.

karai17 2015-08-26 04:11

Pretty game with easy controls. I wish there was more content. :(

digiman572 2015-08-26 06:36

This was a cool game conormn. I really loved the animations you put into this game, and the art style you chose was very good. Hopefully, this may be a small taste for an even bigger game in the future. (If you catch my drift) :)

pixelgriffin 2015-08-26 07:15

This is a very interesting game. I really enjoy the graphics and sound design. The idea is very unique as well. I just wish there was more than two rooms!

jimjam 2015-08-26 08:05

It's a pity you ran out of time for adding more stuff, but this is damn amazing in its graphics, audio and overall mood! I love the very simplistic, clean style, and the monster's animations are stunning. Awesome stuff.

randomhuman 2015-08-26 08:08

Super-cute art style, I love it! With a few more decision points added I think this could be a really engaging game.

tselmek 2015-08-26 12:43

Amazing graphics and audio. The game is really short but you've got a pretty solid base for a future game, can't wait to see what you'll do.

uheartbeast 2015-08-26 16:11

Amazing art and animations.

sparrow 2015-08-26 16:16

Awesome game, short but sweet! I had to download the source because the game doesn't load on the webpage.

crucknuk 2015-08-26 17:25

Nice art direction, the atmosphere of the game is great, so bad that the gameplay is too limited. But this is a compo, and I think you spent time on graphics and animation. Good entry!

minionstudios 2015-08-26 17:30

Totally amazing art! Like Chris Ware in space! Love this and would love to see a huge adventure game made like this.

hthomson 2015-08-26 17:35

I love this whole thing, the art, the animations, the bouncy soundtrack, everything!
Please make this longer

Dizzly 2015-08-26 18:54

Too longer intro. Also the gameplay is minimal, but the visual are great!

split82 2015-08-26 18:56

Exceptionally great graphics and audio. Loved it.

bigbuggames 2015-08-26 19:04

Excellent animation, design and sound. It's a pity it's so short :( I'd love to watch it grow into a full game!

ithildin 2015-08-26 20:45

Really cool art style (and very polished audio design, too). The two-choice menus concept seemed to go in an interesting way, but the game was too short.

Good job!!

rougerogue 2015-08-26 20:47

It was a lot of fun to play, looked, and sounded great; however it was a bit short. I'd assume having graphics this good would mean compensating a lot of the gameplay. Other than that, though, it's awesome. Great job!

handkor 2015-08-27 01:06

This is a fantastic entry. Good job. I quite enjoyed your game.

jmaggard62 2015-08-27 04:18

Really cool style, sad that it's so short though! :)

mechanicallife 2015-08-27 15:05

Looks really good it's to bad its so short :(

inbetweengames 2015-08-27 16:30

Really awesome! I love the style and the animation of the monster movement is great. So's the ship.

Of course the only criticism is the length! There wasn't enough time to listen to the whole of the music track (also awesome). I really hope you have the time to expand on it, just 4-5 more screens would really flesh it out.

Also, the time-pressure mechanic is really nice, and keeps with the setting.

primaerfunktion 2015-08-27 18:49

Really love the art and music. Also the time pressure to make decisions. Great work!

dickpoelen 2015-08-27 18:50

Love it. The sound, the visuals, everything. Don't even mind that it's so short, it just feel so good

pietro-ferrantelli 2015-08-27 21:22

WOW, awesome entry dude ! Can't believe it's a 48 hour solo work. The presentation is the best I've seen so far. So many 5's ! Keep it up !

andrei313 2015-08-27 23:06

I love it. I was so disappointed when I realized how short it is. I want more of this!

pereubu 2015-08-28 00:14

this is the kind of visuals I deeply fall in love with. I'd love to see more of this. Also great music :>

littlethor 2015-08-28 12:12

Not sure this is a real game but ... whatever! It's beautiful! Awesome artwork.

leafthief 2015-08-28 14:33

It looks great and is a welcome change in art for LDs.

alexrus07 2015-08-28 16:43

Excellent entry, great minimalistic graphics. Could've been longer :(

springcabal 2015-08-29 20:20

Too short, aah too short. I was really expecting something amazing by the looks of the intro, but alas there really wasn't much.
Graphics were simple but yet very good, and the music was great. Can't tell how great it really is in extended play though.
Hopefully you'll add some more content later on :)

onionblitz 2015-08-30 09:59

The simplistic art style looks great. I imagine it being on mobile for some reason, haha. Hope you work on this more. :D

strike 2015-08-30 13:13

So much potential here.

evergreen-games-ludum-dare 2015-08-31 04:18

Noooooooo why must it end so quickly! 5 star graphics and mood. Please develop this into a full game!

x70x 2015-09-01 13:54

Really great art and mood. Short and sweet :)

mubox 2015-09-01 16:51

It could be better if...
- I could skip or accelerate the initial text.
- Have more game. :D It's so short.

roaringcatgames 2015-09-02 18:55

Superb Graphics! I love the Vector-style animation. I couldn't get the controls to work and kept getting killed.

Great entry for such a short time.

-Loi LeMix

jackrugile 2015-09-03 06:46

Such a great art style and movement concept. I'd love to see this developed further.

valid4life 2015-09-04 23:45

Loved the basic flat art style! Very visually appealing

jwin 2015-09-04 23:46

Stunning art style, I'd definitely play more of something like this!

treeman 2015-09-05 08:15

Super short but the graphics are fantastic.

hexagore 2015-09-05 10:03

Great art and animation. Probably the shortest ludum dare game I ever played. I got very confused with the controls being listed as "cursor" because I assumed that meant cursor keys. Eventually I tried the mouse!

Clearly this level of art has a price in terms of how much you can do in 48 hours but it's nice to see this quality, even as a tiny snapshot, in the competition.

keyboardcat 2015-09-05 12:04

Beautiful ! But that's really short :)

crafteverywhere 2015-09-05 15:39

Nice are and music, but it's really too short.

jupiter_hadley 2015-09-05 17:00

Super short, but very, very well done. I included it in part 17 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/qmrKCmuKBqk

galvesmash 2015-09-05 19:44

The premise of game is really cool. I hope you continue the game!

jofra 2015-09-05 21:23

Realy awesome game! One of best graphics and animations i have seen. It has a very motion graphics fell. Great mood.
Gj

dancingmad 2015-09-05 23:49

Professional graphics and animations but it's so short, we would like to see more!

voider 2015-09-06 03:46

This is amazing. It's not anywhere close to being short for the quality delivered here!

demy 2015-09-09 19:25

The game is very short, but I love these graphics

geckoo1337 2015-09-10 21:21

Really nice aesthetic but really really short. I want more because this creature is so cute. Thank you for cool entry ++

grywhttl 2015-09-10 22:51

Wish there was more!

jackdegree 2015-09-11 05:33

Great art, really a shame that it's so short! Please do a post-compo version!

patomkin 2015-09-12 07:48

The art is amazing, but content is quite lacking :( Would really want to play more of this

lukezaz 2015-09-13 05:02

Incredibly short, yet quite good. Art was excellent, and everything mixed together very well.

reddogstone 2015-09-14 19:58

Everything about this game is great, except for it being extremely short. I would love to have more of it!

wavertron 2015-09-14 20:01

Just a tad short, not a lot of "game" in there.
Great minimalist art style

qkerguelen 2015-09-14 20:26

Great art and audio ! really enjoyed it !

boaheck_artgent 2015-09-14 20:39

Lovely short experience, and simple but effective take on the theme.
