Hi, I'm just commenting to say that the link requires permission. I didn't vote since I didn't get to play. Screen shot looks really great.

dodechotomy 2015-08-25 02:16

Link doesn't work. Screenshot looks fantastic.

alexrus07 2015-08-25 02:16

Looks like the file is locked by Google Drive :c shame, it looks really great!

fortressaustria 2015-08-25 02:17

D: I want to play that!

chadivision 2015-08-25 02:19

Same here...looks awesome, but the link seems to be locked down.

petegrammarman 2015-08-25 02:27

Wow, beautiful painted artwork. The game itself is buggy and short but I imagine you spend a lot with the atmosphere and art.

madcapacity 2015-08-25 02:27

Oh man, this game is gorgeous!

pixelgriffin 2015-08-25 02:28

This was a very beautiful game. However, it ended very abruptly. I was really hoping for more. Good work!

team-tiger 2015-08-25 02:31

Very short and I want sure what was going on when I was shooting the guy, but I really really love the art. Nice work

nibblebitsstudio 2015-08-25 02:32

Great artistic idea! I love speed paint, but I hardly see games with it.

celarain 2015-08-25 02:32

So amazing style, dunno if crashed or ended but its awesome! Good work!

nanolotl 2015-08-25 02:36

Very nice art style. The gameplay was a bit lacking though.

yrr 2015-08-25 02:37

It looks and sounds FANTASTIC!

leuthil 2015-08-25 02:43

The art is amazing and the mood is really captured well. However after once of the cutscenes I'm not sure if that's the end of the game or if it's a crash since the game just shuts down. Either way very nice.

crunchykingcrimson 2015-08-25 02:51

Well first off I'd like to say how amazed I was that this little 160MB ballooned out into over a GB. It didn't run so well for me at first, but I usually find Unreal Engine stuff to be a bit stuttery at times, the actual gameplay was smooth enough for the most part.

The crowning feature of this is definitely the mood and the graphics, this has a really nice aesthetic to it and I love the monster design, that red face is a really cool idea. The art and the sound all worked well together and created a solid mood.

The gameplay wasn't quite so interesting but it worked well enough to get the point across. It seemed like you were a little bit rushed since I noticed a few bugs and very plain looking wall, but that's a game jam for you. It was also a bit short, the fact that it closes itself at the end had me playing it twice just to be sure it wasn't a dramatically timed crash.

Overall I had a good time though and if you were to expand on something like this with a little more polish I would definitely check it out.

boaheck_artgent 2015-08-25 02:53

Wow short but sweet. The perfect jam voting experience. The art, animation and overall mood of this piece was wonderful.

I really enjoyed the ending and the animation that was for that.

nektarios 2015-08-25 03:27

Took me a while to get it running,short game but the graphics are amazing,great work.

muush 2015-08-25 07:10

Amazing. This is the best one i've played so far and it's gonna be hard to top

acerio 2015-08-25 08:34

The graphics were painty, which is beautiful, and not what you would expect from an Unreal game. The sound effects are amazing, but when you turn into a monster or something the game seems to crash even though it's the end of the game. Or is it not the end, and it's just crashing? Idk, but great game! Very challenging!

karai17 2015-08-25 08:38

Absolutely beautiful game with very fitting music. Entirely too short, though. :(

georgebroussard 2015-08-25 08:43

Fantastic art and mood, of course. Would love to play an entire game that looked like this

madmaw 2015-08-25 11:10

Beautiful game, best graphics I've seen in a LD

hercludes 2015-08-25 16:29

Graphics and audio are very good, however the gameplay just isn't there for me. I stood on the left of the corner and spammed attacks and couldn't be touched. However, this fits to the theme pretty OK but only story-line wise, not that that's a bad thing though! It has a very strong mood, and for cinematics alone this is good, but unfortunately this is not too much fun.

jannesn 2015-08-25 17:52

Amazing visuals! Nice animations. Only when dying it seems kinda buggy (character is still walking).
You kept it tight and short. Keep rating and score high!

Ps.: Can you elaborate why you did not play my game until the end? Please be harsh :)
Because I also have the feeling that it is fundamentally flawed, but before I am biasing you I am kindly asking for you opinion. ;-)

Cheers

micdoodle8 2015-08-25 22:10

Wow, incredible art style. Great job, despite it's length.

gertjohnny 2015-08-25 22:11

Love the art style and mood, but there's almost no gameplay. It crashed near where I think was the end as well.

neanderg 2015-08-25 22:14

Those graphics and animation, love it. Gameplay was simple but sufficient. Loved the ending.

glimaleite 2015-08-25 22:21

I wish I knew more games with this visual style. Absolutely gorgeous!

baykush_figtree 2015-08-25 22:39

It turned out as a great short tale :)

de_von 2015-08-26 10:33

Good game =)

chris-olsen 2015-08-26 15:00

Real stunning little piece. Shame it was so short. Very pretty art and engrossing mood.

jk5000 2015-08-26 18:34

I want to see more of this beautiful and moody game.

tselmek 2015-08-26 19:33

The file is really huge and the game monstruously lags on my end, nonehteless the graphics are great and what I could play of the mechanics were interesting.

maramasa 2015-08-26 20:43

This is a stunning game with incredible art and animation! Nicely done :D

archonthewizard 2015-08-26 20:44

One of the best LD games I've played, artistically. Really interesting art for a video game.

bigbuggames 2015-08-26 20:48

Awesome! really loved the drawing and animation it's good to see something different. I still see that monster in my nightmares :P

nassi 2015-08-26 21:30

The gameplay, while lacking, was good enough for a short experience like this. The atmosphere and the aesthetic are the real driving force after all. Full marks for mood, good job!

superfreak 2015-08-26 22:32

Beautiful. Just. Really really emotive and beautiful. Cannot give this enough 5's for mood and art. Seriously. alsdkfaldfj.

theziggy 2015-08-26 22:32

Best art of almost any game I've ever played (not even just LD games)!! Pure beauty.

odefus 2015-08-27 02:30

Very artsy. As promised it did end very abruptly and left me wanting more.

beardybard 2015-08-27 14:23

This real art!!! Graphics 10/10

matzigon 2015-08-27 14:34

Nice graphics I like the style. Sadly the gameplay is short and flat.

dancingmad 2015-08-27 16:07

Very short but very nice! The art is amazing, congrats :)

leom 2015-08-27 16:48

Great graphics and mood too ! ^^
The "cinematic" animations are VERY nice, walk-cycle and arms a bit under.

ruka 2015-08-27 16:53

Great graphic, sound, and file compression.
But story is too short, it has potential.

JFlegle 2015-08-27 17:41

Wow.... Love the ending. Sound/Art makes me feel cold and afraid. There's a deep story in here.

scorched 2015-08-27 18:42

You are the monster! You made me suffer lack of disk space to unpack your game:D
Didn't use UE, but consider compressing .pak file itself and/or lowering texture resolution.
Still I love the graphics style, well done! :-)

tablesmithgamesgmial-com 2015-08-27 18:49

Great atmosphere and art. A little on the short side though. Would be cool to see this continued ;D

zampi 2015-08-27 18:51

5\5 in all possible positions! Very well man!

aviktorov 2015-08-27 20:39

Good art. But to experience the full effect you need to improve controls and the end of the game.
And I found a bug near the end of the game. http://i.imgur.com/NnR3isa.png

puddelipip 2015-08-27 20:54

Wow, this was a really strong effort, i want to see more of this. The controls might not be the most fluent, but I don't really care about that, thank you for an inspirational contribution!

orangeez 2015-08-27 21:18

Perfect art and promising beginning! Why so short?

crucknuk 2015-08-27 22:37

The arts are very beautiful. and you came up with a good interpretation of the concept

thomcc 2015-08-28 01:51

this is a beautiful, beautiful game. thank you.

felipeddest 2015-08-28 01:51

Beautiful! Good work guys!

flaid 2015-08-28 02:24

This game looks great. I found it to be incredibly difficult, but, luckily, there's no limit to the number of times you can die (I even died twice from the same attack!)

It is obvious a lot of work and heart went into the graphics, and it was definitely awesome.

tmpxyz 2015-08-28 04:55

The graphics style is great, it's really surprising it takes 1GB disk after decompressing.
It just crashed out when the first time player is nearly becoming monster. Maybe my laptop is too old?

geckoo1337 2015-08-28 05:19

An impressive aesthetic which does a strange mood. A cool entry ++

spotco 2015-08-28 05:22

looks really impressive, wasn't able to run it on parallels desktop on my mac computer though :(

sanju 2015-08-28 08:40

Gorgeus graphics. The gameplay could be longer, but still a great entry.

crazyminnowstudio 2015-08-28 08:42

It looks great, I would have liked to see more.

oakus 2015-08-28 08:56

Great mood, would like to see more of this!

dickpoelen 2015-08-28 08:59

That's just beautiful. Looks/feels like a short film

wuballiance 2015-08-28 09:11

Incredible graphics. The style here is far better than any other jam game I have seen so far. Audio, too. The mood of this game deserves far more than the five star rating I can give it. There did seem to be quite a few graphical glitches, specifically during death. Like everyone else says, the gameplay was lacking. But this is understandable, as I cannot even begin to imagine the amount of work required to create such a unique style. Excellent entry, this is one for the books.

awpteamoose 2015-08-28 09:15

Great game, very beautiful visual and sound, sadly the gameplay is short

warxen 2015-08-28 10:06

Great Graphics. Mood fits the theme nicely. Altough there are barely any mechanics and there is no gameplay loop.

seconddimension 2015-08-28 10:14

I absolutely love the art and the atmosphere! One of the best looking games I've seen so far. It's a shame that it isn't developed a bit more. A beautiful start.

randoman 2015-08-28 10:24

Very short game, but a great experience. Well done.

mach60kas 2015-08-28 20:26

Absolutely loved the art - you used it in your own way to tell a sombre, wordless story. The monster's sound effects could have used some work, but the main character's laboured breathing at the end made it feel far more tense. The game segments themselves were basic and felt a little rushed. Overall it's short, sweet and it has a nice punch. Well done!

inbetweengames 2015-08-28 21:56

That was amazing! Love the art and simple storytelling!

hellblazer 2015-08-29 05:12

Awesome art style and atmosphere, though a bit lacking in the gameplay department. I know how that can be hard to balance in a game jam though. A solid first LD for sure. :)

nowandstudios 2015-08-29 11:20

Impresive work. We felt in love with background. good job here!

intxparts 2015-08-29 13:54

I love the visual style, very unique. This is a great first time entry! Nice job!

chuckeles 2015-08-29 15:58

Beautiful graphics! It looks great, but lacks enough gameplay. Also, I'm not sure if I had to kill the red guy, I just walked right below him. There are few bugs and the game is short, but it's worth it.

literal_games 2015-08-29 16:19

Strange, not really a fully featured game but looks and sounds fantastic, which I think is what you were going for. Pretty cool and abstract!

cirpig29 2015-08-29 16:35

Great, now I have to go back and reduce all the 5 star votes for graphics and mood on other games, because how could they possibly compare? ;)
This game is truly beautiful.

stabalarash 2015-08-29 20:13

Wow the graphics are very neat

taro 2015-08-30 00:05

Very short, not sure if I was a fan of the cinematic-ness of the game. I didn't quite feel like I was participating in the story, as I was just watching it. Has potential, but currently feels like it underutilizing the interactive part of games.

bloomingbuds 2015-08-30 01:47

Awesome art and implementation of animations in the gameplay. It's a very good concept. Keep working hard!

leaden 2015-08-30 12:39

Six stars for graphics!

alxr 2015-08-30 13:13

Love that visuals and mood!

mzmiric5 2015-08-30 13:48

The graphics are very artsy and beautiful, and the game really hits on the theme. It's quite short, and it's not very interactive, so that's a shame, but it's a wonderful experience nevertheless.

francismoy 2015-09-01 09:41

Great idea! The game is short but amazing. Great atmosphere and overwhelming graphics.

roaringcatgames 2015-09-01 23:10

Art & Animation are AMAZING! As an artist the style provides for so much inspiration for future project. Great use of theme! Wish it was a little longer, but having a preview had me craving for more!!

Great job, guys!

-Loi LeMix

almax27 2015-09-02 19:37

Short but sweet

peterthehe 2015-09-03 15:59

Really quite beautiful - amazing mood, graphics and pretty much everything.

linus123xbb 2015-09-03 16:15

Good game, very nice for a first game. The graphics were very good and the game was interesting. Could've been longer though.

uheartbeast 2015-09-03 16:32

Loved the mood, graphics, and sound.

puppetmaster 2015-09-03 18:45

Impressive art! Very cool entry

frump 2015-09-04 04:19

Very cinematic. I like that the game closed itself at the end. Interesting game.

daydreamcorgigames 2015-09-04 17:06

The arts look really charming. I like the whole oil painting take on the art, it really brings out the mood of the game.

alexpgilbert 2015-09-05 15:17

interesting art style! Wish there was more to the game! Good job :)

glerikud 2015-09-05 18:45

Wow this is absolutely beautiful! A little short but there must have been a lot of work put into the art and the mechanics. It seems very polished (though I'm not sure which version I downloaded, probably the updated one). The sound design and the animation are great too.

hotboxgames 2015-09-08 20:01

Lovely art and interesting take on the theme.
I didn't enjoy it when trying to take cover from the beast spitting things things, there were no places to hide/take cover and I just ended up trying to jump through it all until luck granted me passage.

It was incredibly abrupt too, I was just getting into it when it seemed like it ended.

Looking forward to see the next entry you guys create!

drauthius 2015-09-09 18:10

Very interesting execution. The graphics are very nice and small details like how the player holds the gun. I didn't quite feel the story, maybe because it was so short.

pusty 2015-09-11 23:34

Looks amazing but way to short O:

dcolgan 2015-09-12 02:25

The treasure is obviously in the art. I liked the atmosphere and everything, but it ran really slow for me.

patomkin 2015-09-12 08:54

The style is amazing, but the game is very short :/

tth2x 2015-09-12 11:52

Ahhh~~ Why the progress is sooo shot!!ToT
the artstyle is really enlightening me~
i think the camera-effect can a little more
it has some blur efeect can made the visual feeling more smooth and concordant/harmonious ~

f1ak3r 2015-09-12 13:01

Undoubtedly the biggest game I've played so far in terms of filesize. Graphics are fantastic, in a style I'd love to see more of. You've definitely got mood and style down.

Gameplay was a bit one note, though, and the theme seemed to be tied in with story rather than gameplay, which was a bit disappointing.

Dizzly 2015-09-12 14:08

Great short tale!!

local-minimum 2015-09-13 20:17

I really liked the art in this game. The fight was a bit hard though, and after having attempted several times and got three-four hits in one go without any indication of how or if that progressed the game, I called it quits. However, it is a stunning entry and just needs to work some one how it communicates with the player. I also didn't find any way to exit the game (played the original version). You might have fixed some of these issues in your updated version.

liannethy 2015-09-14 09:34

Very pretty and unique art style, good work.

jupiter_hadley 2015-10-08 12:51

Beautiful graphics! I included it in part 31 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/smH_qgd8pMY
