I've just made it to the end and I have to say I really like the strangeness of it.. very dreamlike. Nice one!

camilo 2017-04-24 18:30

your game is really cool ! i liked it a lot. congrats!

i didn't use all the items. Does that mean is hasn't finished yet?

killtolive 2017-04-24 18:41

It's really nice one! I was able to beat it only when I found the inventory at the bottom (because of small laptop screen). Keep it up!

boobmarley 2017-04-24 19:12

Haha, top level stuff

demyhallar 2017-04-30 13:36

Awesome idea and the... tools choice? Really trippy.

This is one of those games where I have no clue what's going on, but I'm totally okay with it. Definitely enjoyed my time with this one.

Just as I was about to give up, I reached the end! It did take me a while to notice the inventory below, but once I did, I was trying out everything and was not disappointed. I wonder if I missed anything. Cool game.

This was truly unique and not something I ever expected to see! Awesome! simply AWESOME! I just have no other way to express my emotions I'm sorry. I wish there was some sound, like some calm background music and a sound every time you click something. But this was so unique and interesting i can't not give this game a 5/5. The hand drawn on paper graphics are really unique and cool idea, while the drawings aren't detailed or precise, it felt really cool and interesting that I loved it. Only complaint really is the lack of sounds but very awesome overall.

This is so trippy. I am genuinely impressed by how weird you made something so simple. This is art.

toulou 2017-05-01 08:34

Thanks for all your feedbacks ! I didn't expect my game to be so appreciated !

killtolive 2017-05-01 15:03

Really nice game! Since voting is up - updated it with my previous feedback. One of the best games in this LD as for me :)

aviv871 2017-05-02 10:54

Nice game! very unique.

I left you a rating. Good luck!

codechomper 2017-05-02 11:42

Very neat game, Took me awhile to figure out what to do, I kept getting stabbed lol. Great Work!

tombuston 2017-05-02 11:59

Wow, that was so strange, yet quite enjoyable ! For some reasons, I really liked the art, it gave a real mood to the game. The humor was great ! Good job !

kate-kligman 2017-05-02 21:49

This is great! I love the paper images, especially at the end when they come apart. Great story & finish and clever use of the theme too -- it really is a small world!

fiote 2017-05-03 00:28

I couldn't finish it. Started to get anxious about it all lmao! But it was a nice entry overall. Javascript power!

npizzle1 2017-05-03 11:45

Hahaha what a clever little game i enjoyed playing this and i was going in a loop until i noticed the inventory then i went on to complete the game. nice work and great take on a small world.

tommyflower 2017-05-03 19:17

O god! Are you David Lynch? If not he would love this game! :D As I did! I wouldn't say it needs more polished graphics , sound, fancy buttons to be great, it is! I really enjoyed playing. This game has the quirk I was looking for, one of my favourites!

edit: forgot to say: yes the inventory could be more visible! ;)

samusoidal 2017-05-05 18:00

This game is so funny! I liked the weird storyline and looping gameplay. All in all, I though it was a cool and unique game. Good job!

those-30-ninjas 2017-05-05 18:01

"The gnome stabs you obviously" <-- my favorite part lol. I love the humor of this game. Nicely done.

psilon 2017-05-05 18:04

Unique game, very refreshing. Thanks I loved it.

makiki99 2017-05-05 18:45

This was one hell of a story. I love it, I love the hand-drawn pictures, I love this kind of humor. I only see one technical problem in this game. The elements should have been preloaded instead of loaded on the fly.

toulou 2017-05-05 18:56

@makiki99 You are absolutely right ! Sadly the issue comes out only when I uploaded the game on itch.io . Before it worked fine, but because all the pictures were already in local. Duh ! I'm currently working on the issue. I think preloading the img with the attribute "hidden" will be enough, but then I have to add a "loading" screen.

burgee 2017-05-05 20:59

This was cool! I like how one 'playthrough' influenced the next in small ways (or it seemed to at least?) I tried a bunch of stuff and I don't think I found the right ending, but maybe I did? I don't know! I still feel very satisfied with playing this though.

The drawings were really funny, probably my favorite part of this game!

studiocraftapps-developpement 2017-05-05 21:02

It was... Too funny 4 me... Can't handle the funniosity... Great game overall but there's not enough path, I tried to take multiple path but they alway lead me at the same place. That's it!

toulou 2017-05-05 21:05

@burgee @studiocraftapps-developpement Thanks for your feedbacks ! There is only one clear end to the game, try to read the text when you get items, it give clues about when to use them.

xavier-indie-gamedev 2017-05-06 18:08

Hey man! I love this game, it has a really creative spin on choice-based adventure games, and the dialog and hand-drawn art is very amusing. Good job :)

sagarpatel25700 2017-05-06 18:32

Dialog system game , i have nevr played such game , but i liked this one

morrilet 2017-05-06 18:52

I really liked this. It was strange and funny and puzzle-y all at once. The art style really worked, as well. It took me a while to realize that I had an inventory, but I figured it out after getting stabbed for the first time. Overall this was a really cool concept wrapped in some really cool systems. Great work. I look forward to seeing more stuff with this engine.

caterein 2017-05-08 00:44

Really cool concept for the theme. Wish I could've figured out how to get to the end (is there an end?). Well done!

xykvy 2017-05-10 02:01

I'm really digging the hand drawn graphics! It's such a clever idea. Good job!

vidinu 2017-05-10 11:34

Es un concepto interesante pero he echado en falta más caminos diferentes para continuar. Idea original y buen arte ^^

daisy 2017-05-12 12:27

Aha wow this really surprised me!

Very much enjoyed the humour and the kind of.. dreamlike, nonsensical events that took place. Really unique.

I'd suggest maybe some sort of backing track to help set the mood a bit, not a deal breaker though. And perhaps a sound effect for when you get something in your inventory? I spotted the inventory but it seems it wasn't immediately identifiable by a few players.

Nice job on your first Dare! :D

2017-05-29 15:30

Super unique, suprising game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNgoyhHtWC0
