Okay, the idea wasn't that bad, I mean we have seen it before many times, but it's still okay, but the execution...well...not interesting ...

"Date un-executable "

I waited a minute or so and couldnt run it - this was on firefox.

(Later)
Downloaded it, was able to "play" although there isn't a game. An art game must still be a game - what you have here is a story (a very short one).

The download links no longer seem to work.

Would've worked better if the "go further down" button was the actual down key ;)

While I feel the game is not very game-y I still congratulate you on getting a finished product out. First LD down, more to go!

That was pretty spooky!! Loved the mood, wished there was a bit more depth or some sort of ending.

el_kloklo 2015-12-20 15:09

I think I didn't really get it.

Didn't really understand it, but I agree first LD getting a finished game out is quite an achievement! Good job and hope to see another one from you at LD35!

This is more an experience than a game, but I liked it. Keep it up!

Congrats on the 1st entry. This was my 1st time too! :) But I'm not so sure I understood the game...? I kept holding right and clicking spacebar, and eventually I just stayed in a repeating red room.

I understand the concept here but it doesn't hold up that well. Whilst you obviously spent some time making the graphics a game life this, with so few interactive mechanics, lives or dies on its presentation and unfortunately it isn't enough to pull you into the game by itself.

I think had the graphics been more polished and the game expanded you could have had more of an impact.

There are no mechanics here, but that's fine; I can tell you're an artist at heart. Good attempt for a first entry-- you knew your limits and went weird, which I admire.

Well, not that much of a game. And If there was some deep stuff I didn't get them. But art was cute. And well done. Keep up for the next LD's!

puppetmaster 2015-12-21 23:49

This is a very special game. Keep up the good work!
Thanks you for playing and rating mine.

oberynmartell 2015-12-22 00:09

Not exactly a game I think... maybe an interactive narrative?
Nice job on the art though!

lereveur 2015-12-23 19:55

Some sort of choice, even simple, would have turn this little story in a playable game. But, well, at least it works without freezing. And it fits the choosen theme. ;)

imagossoftworks 2015-12-24 23:17

Very cool. The story kept me going and wanting to know more.
