You said it wasn't a game but it most definitely is! It's interactive, it's a game. You are hinting at the message in your blog post, so I won't spoil the surprise for others. It causes an emotional reaction- you succeeded at that for sure.
Well, it's something.
I can't say I'm a fan of politicizing games like this, it feels cheap. As Shodanon said, it did cause an emotional reaction, but for me at least it was primarily one of disappointment.
Le message me plait :D
comme jeu, c'est un peu la merde xD ha mais comme annoncement public c'est superb! en fait, tu as fais des choses pas mal dans le jeu. l'accélération en commençant et en arrêtant la planète est cool. ça donne un element d'inertie à la planète. le message est bon en tout cas.
I thought the "message" twist was pretty funny as I didn't see it coming but it was well carried out and you did a good job. I liked it for what it was, nice work! :)
I was playing, thinking this was a nice little minigame from someone who says they don't make games... then BAM.
I found this hilarious, thank you
The mechanic for the little game were interesting and I understand what you were aiming for, but the political spin, as appropriate as it might be, detracted from the game in my opinion.
That being said, content like this still needs to be made. If you have a message and people are willing to listen, then there's no reason not to spread the message.
Not a bad... simulation game I guess? Reminds me of science documentaries.
Well, not a typical game, but I guess it does what it was intended to. And I definitely didn't expect the ending.
Well, it was exactly what it was said to be.
Whether or not you were _seriously_ set out to bring forward a message here I wouldn't know, but in the off-chance that it is so, in my humble opinion the little mini-game lacks relevance to the actual ending. I mean, you could have just put the ending there alone and it would have had the same effect in essence.
In any case, it's a funny little thing, well done.
Haha that was quite a funny ending!
Find it hard to mevo earth. but in the end this wasn't the purpose of the game, i think.
Hehehe. I like this game, great ending! Congrats for making it. It sure is a small world and we must take care of it!
When I was wondering what is the point of the game, Mr.Trump shows up and I burst into a laugh But the game is still too simple, you could have added more interesting elements.
Gave me a smile, but all in all, a game with terrible controls and a random political message to interrupt my experience.
I agree with the sentiment, but I hardly find this entertaining :I
The game is well, hard to rate, but I appreciate that you used this medium for spreading the awareness, you could make it more fun and playable tho :)
The ending was a surprise. Besides the very simple gameplay at the beginning, I don't know how to rate the game because of the little content and the small consideration towards the actual gameplay.
This was great! Not that fun to "play", but fun enough to get to the end. The visuals were nice, and I liked the pacing. Interesting project, I'd love to see more like this!
Ahh... Feels like I got trolled. Was not even 30 seconds, before I got vomited at.
Kept me occupied enough to play through it, but nothing spectacular. The message is strong, but where's the game? :P
At first, I thought I simply didn't understand the mechanics, then I saw where you were going for. While not actually a game, points for innovation in that regard.
Well it was interesting - and surprising!
Don't understand people complaining about "politicizing games" since most (all?) games are political. This was just more honest with the message. Thanks for making this game!
I wasn't expecting a political game from this!
Haha that was quite an ending. Certainly one of the more amusing LD entries I've seen this time around :)
