Lovely graphics and storyboarding. Brought me right back to playing Spore...but I mean that in a good way! The mechanic isn't new, but this is a very pleasant and well-executed take on it. Great work!

I'm not sure if this is just a coincidence or some odd Unity bug, but about 1 minute into the second level my browser locked up.

It brings memories... I loved Spore and I loved this one too :) The way you told the story it brings tears to my eyes...

The windows link isn't working and the web link progress bar is frozen. Looks like an awesome game though. I'd love to try it.

Beautiful! :D

Great storytelling.
You incorporated elements of good design.
I really liked this entry.

I fixed the Windows link! Sorry about that!

interesting game.

this was really cool. i like the graphics/music/story a lot. though i feel like the character would realize what was happening to him at the very least right after he becomes the sun. the rest felt way too obvious. and almost as if the character had little personal growth despite being through this whole thing. anyway, don't mean to sound harsh it was real cool! nice work!

Interesting. I don't see many storylines in LD.

"My life is simple", I should eat a lot of shit on this kontest.

Art is look cool too!

Good luck!

A children's storybook. Definitely charming.

Criticisms are largely technical: Would've liked to press & hold to move, was a bit confused by the green running-man bar (what is it, exactly?), and sometimes was surprised when clicking to speed up the text ended up skipping it before I could read it. The "gameplay" seems better suited to young children, while the moral is much more broadly relevant.

More games need dancing motes.

Great story and lovely art! It's a bit annoying that you can't really judge if you're larger than things, because they are not circles.

Super great graphics and aesthetics. I'd definitely play a mobile port. The dialogue is cute and the game plays well.

Appreciate all the great feedback everyone! I am happy everyone liked it for the most part. We really had some trouble getting everything together just the way we wanted it in the time frame, but that's LD for you :) It is much like a children's story book and I am glad you all were able to appreciate the narrative, we made that our central focus for this LD.

Wow. Very lovely graphics. Simple game but with an intense and dramatic story that makes it very special. Congrats! :D

Great game! Love it!

Fun and perfect storyboarding.

Game has absolutely untouchable zone near left top corner.

disdanes 2015-12-16 22:44

Odd, what platform were you on?

beetracks 2015-12-17 00:53

I missed a song in stage 2, but the story is lovely and the gameplay is nice.

kostak 2015-12-17 08:51

Simple game, but it looks pretty decent and is a nice concept!

Fun art style and great start out music! You guys should have used it throughout the levels, it would have improved the mood.

This game perfectly describes how I felt jamming throughout last weekend. Eating everything I see, felt fat (rounded) and then feel bad afterwards.

Interesting story of how lack of understanding causes hate.. or feeling of being betrayed. Somehow sad/ depressive.. Really enjoyed it! :]
I feel like a good voice over -> narration would push this title onto next level.
Cool sketchy art style with nice choice of colors and really great music! :)
Gameplay-wise nothing super original, but solid.
Thank you this entry!
