Awesome game! Tons of fun! Unique concept and funny videos :P

One thing you might want to change is to make the WillPower-meter a bar instead of a number. Other than that its fun and I wish it was longer :)

I love the music! I'm still getting the hang of the controls though. I never seem to figure out when to sleep and when not to.

Good game. Actually pretty hard. The thing N4tticus said is something that I didn't think of but some maybe do. I have nothing to complain about except for the graphics but I know that you can't make stunning graphics in 48 hours.

This was really fun! The ability to sleep anywhere kind of confuses me because, unless I was doing something wrong, it seemed like I was going to lose no matter what if I slept anywhere except the designated sleeping areas. Perhaps you should "pass out" (and lose) if your willpower reaches zero, rather than waiting for the hallucinations to get you.

Great fun game, though! Good work!

Good game. Like N4tticus said, a more visual indicator of your "energy" would make a huge difference, but you could also add multiple feed back, like aberrations (Image effect) as you have less "will" or as the hallucination gets closer. These aren't hard to implement and can go a long way.

Also the first time i got to the end i missed the jump and ended up falling to infinity, and the background got a bit brighter, i wondered if it was a representation of us falling to a deep slumber after these 48h, that's when I realize : Its time to hit the bed !

Good job

I beat it! I liked the resource management, having to keep the sleep meter up. I found myself sleeping to full at each resting point, but just barely. Ran all the way out once and was pretty scared.

I think you could benefit from putting a screenshot (instead of the lamp with text) as your "promotional" image that gets shown to everybody.

I love the art style! impressive for such little time. Great Job!

I love the music, it would of been even better if it was longer! Great Job!

good game! the graphics are impressive which created in just 48h and I really enjoy it!

It's a bit difficult, but definitively beatable once you have a good "strategy". I liked the introduction a lot. Very good live acting (hopefully it didn't happen IRL)! The game is a bit short though, and at the end I always missed the last sleep point and fell down in the infinite void (does it have a special end if I'm able to sleep there?). It's a neat idea overall :D

It's a great game, but it takes a bit to figure out a good tactic. Other than that it's an excellent game!

falk-bruskeland 2017-07-31 09:26

Man, it's hard. But Awesome :D. Love the intro film and the game of course

cowa 2017-07-31 10:43

Fun game but hard right from the beginning! I like the music and the environment :) Well done!

jharler 2017-07-31 10:44

The video is a nice touch. I love the mood you were able to get with this, very unsettling. I wasn't able to get very far. I kept getting stuck after sleeping where I couldn't move and that scary red ball kept catching me. Very cool game, great job.

bewelge 2017-07-31 11:33

Took me a while to figure this out. Great concept though, especially love the scenery and mood of the graphics you're using!

jeremy-ryan 2017-07-31 12:32

Nice little game. The main mechanic is interesting, and there's a surprising amount of depth despite how simple it is. I like the video inro. :)

pauljs 2017-07-31 13:20

Nice intro film and game ! Harder than expected !

pitpony 2017-07-31 15:10

Great music and lovely aesthetic. A very relaxed game although it is tough - maybe the red ball is a tad too quick.

The only other thing I'd change is to have any key wake you up rather than binding it to Q. You could even just have the player stop moving at the z's to recharge.

Great idea though, well done.

Love the music and the mood created by the lighting. Had a had time trying to figure out the controls though.

Great job with the opening cutscene, loved the music track to. Some sound effects would have brought it to the next level. Great mood set by the music and lighting

r3l0ad1 2017-07-31 17:59

Great Job but I felt that the enemy was a bit too fast. But i love the lighting and the mood. Well done

hhsaez 2017-07-31 18:54

Love the introductory video. It's a bit hard, but the mood is great. Great work!

aterlamia 2017-07-31 18:59

Love the mood and lightning, and some sounds beside music would helped to make this even more enjoyable

tedkerr 2017-07-31 19:09

Difficult, but fun. Took me a little bit to understand the sleeping mechanic

kelbg 2017-07-31 21:17

Surprisingly hard at the beginning, but gets easier as you keep playing. Took me quite a few tries but I managed to get to the end! Overall a fun and engaging game, and I would not mind if it were a bit longer or had more levels!

jekstrom 2017-08-01 02:40

Cool little game. More levels would be awesome, but there's only so much that can be done in a weekend. Falling off the end of the world at the end seems to screw things up?

Good job!
