Great use of the theme, also the graphics are very nice.

larzan 2016-04-19 14:12

Wow, beautiful, enjoyable game. Had to finish it :)
I like the message you managed to incorporate there, well done!

2016-04-19 15:06

Nice graphics! well done!

cakeknuckles 2016-04-19 15:28

wow, this is one of my favorite games i've played from this jam so far!

the art is just fantastic, it's got such a nice clean style that works super well with the mechanics. i also really like the color choices, and the parallax scrolling with the clouds.
the controls feel nice, and it has some really great atmosphere going on with the ending. great job!!

ronniepedra 2016-04-19 17:01

Amazing! <3

teamscripta 2016-04-19 17:38

Beautiful graphics. Excellent atmosphere.

2016-04-19 18:41

Beautiful stuff there, congrats and great respect. :)

weaverdeveloper 2016-04-19 18:42

Really pretty, i hope people give it enough of a chance to get to the message of the game, at which point it'll click.

McFunkypants 2016-04-19 18:59

Such wonderful colour choices and zen design! Very good work. Love the style.

niklaas 2016-04-19 20:36

Beautiful!

riftpoint 2016-04-19 20:53

Wow, that end really got me. Wasn`t expecting that. Great atmosphere and mood! Congrats

zwrawr 2016-04-20 00:52

Love the Graphics

esayitch 2016-04-20 11:09

Art style (both graphics and music) are insanely good. Great use of the theme as well, though I'd hoped the shapeshifting would have been slightly more "core" to the experience.

Good game, good luck!

landosystems 2016-04-21 01:54

Lovely game. Very nice visuals and audio. Great work!

katekmail 2016-04-21 01:55

Just lovely.

toadfrogs 2016-04-21 01:57

An astonishing tribute game, and I love the graphics the use of the theme for this game.

aaranos 2016-04-21 02:16

Lovely audio and graphics. Love origami as well so I may be biased. Nice message as well.

kaiclavier 2016-04-21 02:33

Just fantastic. Great audio, animation, and atmosphere. The ending really got to me.

brianschung 2016-04-21 04:00

Nice graphics & animation.

danbolt 2016-04-21 05:46

This is very good. I liked the symbolism flipping left and right.

I'd love to see a postmortem written up about this later.

mightytoaststudio 2016-04-21 08:11

Nice graphics and use of theme, also great final message.

anaguilefdez 2016-04-21 08:58

Beautiful game, very well done and polished! Graphics are nice

binarybot 2016-04-21 11:43

Lovely and unique graphics! I kind of felt like the theme only affected the graphics, and not the gameplay, so I only gave the theme a three. Otherwise, very nice!

2016-04-21 15:09

IS GRAPHICS EVERYTHING?! think about it....?

sabina-lis 2016-04-21 16:08

Nice graphics and audio composition, it was fun to try

mrshoestore 2016-04-21 18:40

beautiful looking game, and with a message to boot. the name didnt click tell the end, so it came as a surprise.

arskiainen 2016-04-21 18:52

Short, but so much in there.

apantaloni 2016-04-21 19:19

Graphics are very nice and the game is fun to play while it lasts. Appreciated the unexpected, meaningful ending.

lostalloy 2016-04-21 19:45

Whoa, this took a dramatic turn I wasn't expecting! Very nice!

matiasbontempo 2016-04-21 20:28

Fun and deep. Well done.

sepharoth213 2016-04-21 21:33

Great concept and great execution, fantastic work.

roland-m 2016-04-21 21:45

Beautiful game, its gorgeous graphics. =]

llucile 2016-04-21 22:03

Very nice graphics ! The whole idea is very nice, I love the origamis. Maybe the contrast between beeing a bird or a man could have been higher though

mr-madcat-2 2016-04-21 22:39

Nice polish, really good graphics and sound. Wouldn't have expected a deep message after the game. Good use of the theme, however I would have loved if the theme would contribute a little bit more towards the game play.

celia14 2016-04-21 22:54

Wow, so polished and lovely - absolutely gorgeous art. The ending really hits hard, well done.

josefnpat 2016-04-21 23:13

Simple but very nice! The style is lovely and consistent. Perhaps it would have been nice to have slowly introduced the different obstacles instead of using them all at once? Great job!

odyssey 2016-04-22 00:01

Great use of theme and message. Wonderful

mikaza 2016-04-22 09:02

Very Pretty game !

kik0729 2016-04-22 09:45

This is really great
It really hits a punch in the end!

lightsoda 2016-04-22 10:49

Lovely colors.

naca 2016-04-22 17:48

Excellent take on the theme. Glad to see games that deal with social issues. Beautiful graphics and audio, also. Congratulations!

hectigo 2016-04-22 19:42

This game is perfect in all of its simplicity. I really love the symbolism that really clicks at the end of the game in one of those 'a-ha' moments and is plain enough not to feel melodramatic. The gameplay is nicely tuned too.

jyeray 2016-04-22 20:14

Very very nice game :D

meganukebmp 2016-04-22 21:13

Great art!

ladyemaskye 2016-04-22 21:39

Interesting take on the theme. The game is pretty basic ( I got tired after about 20 seconds), but the graphics are PHENOMENAL.

ponywolf 2016-04-22 21:52

Graphics and animation!

cossette 2016-04-23 03:13

Simple, but polished, beautiful and even thought provoking. Great Job!

pavelpooh 2016-04-23 05:41

Excellent audiovisual. This is a good and proper game that respectfully reacted to this terrible war as the topic. You make a good and right thing to do. Sorry for my bad english

caelanrp 2016-04-23 06:42

Damn, that got dark fast! Gameplay is simple but surprisingly fun, and the graphics and sound are of course fantastic :)

endel 2016-04-23 10:31

Pretty moving. Nice graphics. It's really hard to get to the end with full life. Congrats!

bytegrove 2016-04-23 11:50

Very beautiful art style, and nice effects, sound and music! Would've been cool to maybe let the different origami shapes have different properties.

reiv 2016-04-23 14:28

Beautiful game. The graphics and audio are gorgeous! Well Done.

themadknights 2016-04-23 17:42

Awesome :D! I really liked your game, the execution of the theme. The aesthetic is really cool and I almost cried at the end :_)_

bitdare 2016-04-23 17:52

This game has such an amazing feel. Nice work.

rafosgamess 2016-04-23 19:25

Beautiful.

okoto 2016-04-25 01:49

I was in your Hangout on PONG. Was pretty cool : "How do games without getting poor or depressed". Very beautiful game and well polished , congratulations.

ployer 2016-04-25 02:23

well done. nice art, fun to play!

icefallgames 2016-04-25 02:28

Poignant ending, and amazing graphics. Gameplay is simple, but it has an incredible amount of polish and subtlety. I love the way the music gradually ramps up as things get more intense.

The ending was like... oh wow... I get it now...

marmpa 2016-04-25 18:51

Really nice graphics. I really love this type of games.

djapz30 2016-04-25 19:43

Nice game!

It's truly beautiful and amazing.

muel 2016-04-28 20:06

That final, dude...
That final...

seconddimension 2016-04-30 16:03

Really liked the art style and graphics, the entire game is very well done. Good use of the theme, a fantastic entry.

fenwick 2016-05-01 04:19

Wow, was not expecting that ending at all but it made sense with the gameplay. Gameplay was solid but the shapeshifting had no apparent purpose.

teampoops 2016-05-01 05:38

Beautiful!

miwuc 2016-05-01 06:42

Beautiful graphics, mood and message. The game itself is pretty basic, I wish it made a difference whether you're a crane or a human.
Well done!

geckoo1337 2016-05-01 12:52

Simple concept, but nice aesthetic - something really quiet. Well done ++

flummox2d 2016-05-02 06:07

Don't understand why you chose to be judged in Humor, but whatever, awesome entry anyways! :)

pinkindian 2016-05-02 17:02

Great entry and good anti-war theme. The game really opened in the end and managed to make an deep impact (at least on me).

lucario12k 2016-05-04 04:00

Very great mood, theme, and graphics, but a bit lacking on the fun side. In addition, there is no real "shapeshifting" besides moving, and even then it doesn't really make sense why you become human or a crane. Besides that, the game was very well polished.

wboqm 2016-05-04 07:28

Nicely polished and the ending is definitely something to think about.

trulyvile 2016-05-04 17:16

Overall, it's really wonderful in its simplicity. The art and music is where the game really shines.

This may be more of a personal preference than anything but when abstracting health like this (no GUI) it can be a bit irritating if there's no clear indicator of how many hits you can still take. Like, in Super Mario it's pretty obvious when Mario is at his least healthy (he's small). Adding extra levels to that is just somewhat confusing IMO and I think you could stand to use some more visual indicators that "yeah, I'm about to die".

That's just a tiny thing though that takes a lot of words for me to articulate, make no mistake I really love this entry overall.

knason 2016-05-04 18:23

This was so beautiful. WOW! really good use of the theme, the graphic, atmosphere, and audio was terrific! Congrats!! well done!

tomlum 2016-05-05 21:20

Absolutely gorgeous, and quite fun.

ermrk 2016-05-08 11:22

The game amazed me by music and graphic at the beginning. I was a little bit confused, why there is missing some score. I realize it at he end. I like games with meaning. Great job!

mrbungle 2016-05-09 10:14

I love short and sweet games that pack a message. Also, it looks beautiful.

2016-05-10 11:13
