Wow that looks really interesting champ!

thecain 2016-04-18 01:32

I liked it. Reminded me of The Pretentious Game. I think after the 0 dimensional screen it should have a special game over message, instead of the regular one.

codercameron 2016-04-18 01:43

Oh okay thanks, Too late to implement, but good idea. And good eye, because I actually played The Pretentious Game the night before, so it must have influenced me.

codercameron 2016-04-18 02:00

Actually I did make that change. Thank you for the suggestion.

skullpixel 2016-04-18 02:46

Nice job! I had seen in a post of yours somewhere that you were my age, so I made sure to come and check out whatever game you made soon. It's definitely a cool game. And far more thoughtful than anything I'd come up with for LD. :D

codercameron 2016-04-18 02:54

Wow thanks man, that means a lot. I wasn't very confident about the idea when I first started making the game, But I guess it turned out not so bad

micromacro 2016-04-18 02:59

That was awesome. Great work. :)

quexd 2016-04-18 02:59

I was jumping a lot at the beginning and was wondering why I kept dying

mukult 2016-04-18 03:01

Wow!! Good entry!!

codercameron 2016-04-18 03:07

Thanks everyone!

madhoe 2016-04-18 03:08

Very interesting take on the theme! Like the music as well

codercameron 2016-04-18 03:13

QuesxD I think I should have put in instructions, but oh well!

dia6lo 2016-04-18 03:14

Great narration, dude! But it was quite tediously to restart the game when I took any wrong jumps.

vividredemption 2016-04-18 03:16

It's crashing on my even after downloading the fix version from itch. Pretty fun and smooth up until then though. Nice work!

matiasbontempo 2016-04-18 03:20

WOW. This was an incredible experience. 10/10

ruchirbapat 2016-04-18 03:30

Nice! I liked this game, great idea and cool game! 10/10

iendsl 2016-04-18 04:13

Cool game. I love the words changing in real time and the shapeshift worked really well. The graphics are nice, minimalist. The game seems to require a perfect run in order to beat, which is frustrating and I think the narrative feels a little shallow. Really great though i am going to go again for beating it when im a little less sleepy!

membrane 2016-04-18 04:47

Whoa. That was wonderful! Fours and fives only :)

mutonizer 2016-04-18 10:10

Nice concept and game does what it's supposed to from start to finish.
Strangely enough, these simple graphics and narrative put on a very nicely melancholic mood to it and that's what I like the most about it (weird).

Nice entry, thanks.

thecain 2016-04-18 22:39

More impressive still that you made the engine from scratch

codercameron 2016-04-19 05:27

Thanks :)

blinry 2016-04-19 22:28

I love it! Awesome changing title texts, I'm gonna steal that sometime :P Good music, too!

ghust1995 2016-04-20 00:06

Great game, really liked the mood and use of the theme =)

cabezotta 2016-04-20 01:27

I really enjoyed this one! I felt something more than just fun for playing. It was the only game i've played so far with a "deep" meaning.. i think is cool that you could make something like that in so little time, no just the game itself, but the larger concept that this game has. Awesome job!

tmpxyz 2016-04-20 01:29

Hmm, thought might be able to reach the end...

codercameron 2016-04-20 05:26

Haha yes, I cant believe you guys like it. I was worried that the mechanics and story wouldn't be clear, but apparently it worked. :)

2016-04-23 07:17

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

codercameron 2016-04-23 10:28

Gladly! That would be really great Freank.

sndr 2016-04-26 13:27

I really love the core game mechanic. Simple, but leads to complexity at the same time. It's very elegant :)
The aesthetics are very neat and suit the theme perfectly. Nice entry!

anaguilefdez 2016-04-26 13:36

Loved it! 5/5

pixelpotions 2016-04-26 14:50

Great idea, very criative and well executed! The graphic style fits well, the music are really cool, and the mechanic is the bomb! Well done!

sunflower 2016-05-03 11:55

Gaaah, what's up with you people, making depressing platformers about love. You could make it not depressing, not a platformer or not about love, and yet... >.<

Eh, that aside, the game has rather interesting concept, and fits rather well with the theme of sacrifice and such, but I'd have really preferred, if, you know, I could actually reach the end with the rest of my strength. As it is now, it's all too futile, and I don't really like futility... that's just too bad. Especially since the soundtrack was pretty cool, too, and the rest of the game was solid, it's the needlessly depressing ending that spoils the thing for me.

fisilva 2016-05-06 12:06

I liked this concept, great idea and nice ending. Also nice audio.

ludipe 2016-05-09 23:03

Really liked the mood of the narrative, the simple look and the audio (plus the concept was awesome). But I kept finding weird bugs and at some point my game reseted for apparently no reason :-/

codercameron 2016-05-10 00:26

Sorry, I have a memory leak in my code. I made the engine entirely for LD35 and made it from scratch in CPP. SO there are a few problems

megabrutal 2016-05-10 00:54

Windows-only – not rated.

avinashd 2016-05-10 00:57

I absolutely love how the story and gameplay are so tightly coupled together; low-vertex shapes are clumsier and every jump makes you weaker. And I'm definitely not scoring you low on graphics, because it has all it needs to work well.

The automatically changing text is a really nice touch, bonus points :)

I had this game on my waiting list but never got around to it. Phew, didn't expect to do a review with 3 minutes left :P
