Great animations

2015-12-14 09:27

This art is really beautiful!

paraxite 2015-12-14 10:07

Really nice animations and visuals!

There are some typos in the game text.

foofanoo42 2015-12-14 10:11

Very nice artwork. Hope that something happens if you leave the game running for 1 and a half hours.

transmit 2015-12-14 10:13

The animation and art is really beautiful

Game text can use some proof-reading, and some ambient sounds would a long way in making this more atmospheric.

That said, graphics are absolutely gorgeous, and the story was all right. I'm not sure if go to the end or not, but pressing r and e does nothing so I'm assuming I did?

"the future is in your hands" - is that the last sentence?

Really good entry :) Good luck!

anael 2015-12-14 10:26

paraxite and esayitch: I'm asking friends to have a look at the text (I'm French). And yes "the future is in your hands" is the last sentence. Thanks for playing !

cicanci 2015-12-14 11:16

The art is fantastic!

icereci 2015-12-14 14:07

Cool art and animation. Very excited for story driven games. I died a lot by pressing R :)

terop 2015-12-14 14:42

nice looking graåhics.

mintarcade 2015-12-14 14:45

Absolutelly beatifull!

svenfrankson 2015-12-14 14:46

buffalophil 2015-12-14 17:14

Top-notch art!!!

gene-z 2015-12-14 17:14

Nice animations

aaants 2015-12-14 18:57

Love the art in this

nonentheless 2015-12-14 21:03

the art is amazing! great job :)

wilsk 2015-12-14 21:25

Very nice looking game... I wasn't really sure if I was at the end though until I read the comments. It feels a bit like a preview for a full game. I'm intrigued to see what you could make of it if you had more time.

Also, programmed in C and on the web? whaaaat? :)

matiasbontempo 2015-12-15 03:24

I really liked the asthetics of this game but it got stuck while reading the diary ("the future is in your hands").
How did you ported C to html btw?

anael 2015-12-15 09:52

Thanks :) !!

"the future is in your hands" is the end.

I compiled C to asm.js using Emscripten (awesome tool).

themelodyofthesoul 2015-12-15 10:57

the graphics are amazing, good mechanic and good job!

mrmordem 2015-12-15 13:15

Nice use of both themes, the graphics and animations are superb, awesome job recreating a "another world" / "flashback" vibe :)

too bad it didn't have that much audio though, not sure if it's a bug or just that it doesn't go further for the moment but, the game kinda ended on a the discovery of the journal, anyway great work !

delahee 2015-12-15 15:26

Very nice graphics, the end is a little abrupt, I didnt wanna stop so soon !

justinooncx 2015-12-15 15:34

Pretty interesting experience, with VERY nice art. Can be expanded upon, I'm sure.

rhythmlynx 2015-12-15 15:36

Absolutely gorgeous and well written too. Really enjoyed it.

radstar 2015-12-15 16:34

I really love the graphisms and the animation! But I'm really frustrated that the story stops at this "The future is in your hands" sentence. I want to know what happened and all!

peterthehe 2015-12-15 16:49

Really nice art.

nunesbarbosa 2015-12-15 20:10

Loved the graphics but for god sake.. make the frigging text faster! Text games are boring by default, waiting for the text makes the game very very boring.

agilejoshua 2015-12-15 21:54

Really beautiful - impressed that you managed to do this within the compo timeframe! Congratulations.

zeezgames 2015-12-15 23:02

I liked this i agree if some audio was added it would of set the mood proper :)

really impressive work with the programming and the animation

warboys 2015-12-16 09:13

Gorgeous looking game, the art and animations (mmmm the key!) are sexy! I also really like how the game ends. I was expecting it to continue but the final sentence just stuck there is quite powerful.

Boo capitalism ;)

drtizzle 2015-12-16 18:32

This is good looking! Also really well written, but it was really short (?)
It could have used some simple ambient sound.
Well done!

x92rwzb 2015-12-16 19:34

Nice cutscenes.

yword 2015-12-17 05:01

Great narrative and graphics! Well done!

ramoncb 2015-12-17 23:29

Very impressive art! =O

And the history is interesting, I wanna know what happened next, after "the future is in your hands" !! ^^

Good job!

zguerrero 2015-12-19 12:58

Great graphics, specially for a compo entry!

randomhuman 2015-12-19 14:04

Beautiful game, I love the combination pixel/painterly art style, and the animations are gorgeously smooth. It ends a bit abruptly, but it left me wanting more so you definitely did something right!

ittaimanero 2015-12-19 14:30

I'm glad to see another adventure game in this LD :D Love your graphics and story! Pretty good use of the theme with managing all the options with just two buttons. Would love to see this one becoming a larger experience! Congratulations!

anael 2015-12-19 14:45

Ittai Manero > I miss adventure games so much! I'll try yours when I'm on a windows machine (on mac now), it looks good.

ludic 2015-12-19 16:43

Like the visual and animations are greaty!!

arcturusdeluxe 2015-12-19 17:54

Nice idea to use the two-button concept for an adventure game. The graphics are great, amazing backgrounds and I love the use of retro-style polygons. You got that Another World/Flashback look down perfectly.

teamflare 2015-12-19 19:04

Really beautiful art! I love the way you did the resizing from the highres paintings.

lereveur 2015-12-20 00:27

A little bit too short, but I suppose it's the price to pay for a very nice looking game ! Some ambiant sounds would have been better too, but I know how time eating it is. And it miss something to tell the player he win. Great job done here, and feel free to make a longest version... :P

PS : Je suis français aussi, et je compatis sincèrement pour les soucis d'expression, c'est assez handicapant pour le LD. -_-;

el_kloklo 2015-12-20 15:03

Really good graphics and ambient, but I think you lacked of time to develop the story.

smirnov48 2015-12-24 00:34

The end is epic! A lot of fun and humor! Good job!

krafty 2015-12-26 00:51

Pretty interesting game, very nice visuals! Great job! :)

evanegibbs 2015-12-28 07:27

What a fantastic game you made! This was really cool. A lot of people have mentioned that the art style is really good, but I have to echo that. The style and animation are just superb. They really give a feeling for the atmosphere. I really liked the story and the idea of 'aliens' learning from ancient human mistakes. I would like to see a longer game! Also I liked the ludum dare cameo in there. Awesome job! :D

crucknuk 2015-12-29 16:55

Nice entry! Graphics are really cool, it reminds me of Another wordl! Good job ;)

sinclairstrange 2016-01-02 23:40

Man this looks beautiful! I love the look of this game so much! Great atmosphere, very nice indeed!
