I'm sorry, but I didn't find a .exe or any sort of application inside of the .zip folder, and wasn't able to play your game. You might want to check on that.

@WolkingW Thanks for the tip. I've apperantly uploaded just the readme without the game :O I reuploaded the zip ;)

The game's concept is cool. Hm, cool isn't the word. What I want to say is that is a great idea. I loved it. I think the gameplay can be a little more, hem, interactive ? The art is really cool, I like your low poly. And the music is fine too. Good job !

nice lil short sad story that is life ;)

tyrants-not-found-team 2015-12-15 14:46

While it's not really a game game, it does present the idea of life in a quite interesting manner. Makes you think about it. It's like a mini-animation with two buttons, heh. Thumbs-up for that and it delivers on what it wants to be, but no so much on the actual game part :)

Cheers,

Cheer up... life aint all that bad!

Loved the art style, which is unusal with me and blocky graphics. But still. It worked!

Would have loved to have seen a bit more "game" in a "game" jam entry but cant have everything eh?.

The game is really gorgeous, looks almost like a claymation. The lightning is especially lovely. The mood is also quite intense and pensive.

Really loved it! Nice contemplation on life, had some goosebumps in the two last levels. It's all too true for many of us, which makes it quite sad. The graphics are lovely, very nice style. I do feel the audio could have done more to add to the mood, in the later levels it felt a bit too energetic. Great job!

Nice entry but a bit more gameplay (something more to do) would be nice. Your graphics are really really cool.

Nice job!

Interesting concept! However, I found it to be too fast paced for the effect to really hit home for me.

I can't say it was very intersactive, but I like it anyway. Charm story, a very good move on the theme. Music is also pretty good. Some people wouldn't like it as a game probaably, but I like it a lot as an interactive experience! Good job!

Pretty sad story. i really liked the art, yet the gameplay felt lacking.

nuprahtor 2015-12-15 19:56

Small little expirience. Tilt-shifted graphics looks really good.

Sometimes it's nice to be reminded of the past and what comes next ... this could be further worked on ! :) Thank you for the experience!

rijnswand 2015-12-15 21:41

Interesting! The graphics look really cool and the music goes great with the game.

Reminds me a bit to The Graveyard.

Yes. This is great. One button moves and the other thinks. Heartbreaking by the end. Wow. Excellent job.

Almost made me cry

Not a game, as you say, but it was nice to walk through this. Makes you think.

Great mood and graphics! =P
I think when the lighting was from the avatar's back, I felt the avatar was powerful. but when the light was on its head or face, I felt the avatar was being acted upon. Like as if 'Now, the future is grabbing you.' and not the other way around.
Also I really liked Sandbox - Creativity and Slide - Excitement. That made "Life lessons" comedic. :p

I love the artstyle. Those low-poly trees were beautiful and all the details are a nice touch. Great thought-provoking concept, made me think.

peteds 2015-12-20 14:28

Man you really captured the mood, I felt like I was watching the opening ten minutes of Up aha! Pretty good social commentary.

srakowski 2015-12-23 00:11

I almost teared up a bit walking through this. Despite not being a real 'game' you've built something special here. Well done :)

Really interesting game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/lBXur6KZCzs
