And I'll wait for you here! :v:
Very interesting concept :) Really nice that you complemented the text with sound, I think you could make something good with this concept (with some less waiting perhaps ;)). Not sure how it is related to the theme though.
Checked on it once or twice since I opened this game earlier today. Still waiting. In this respect I suppose the design is a resounding success and an interesting diversion from the usual, quick-fire popcorn-type games. I want to know what happens next, so I'm leaving this on. Intriguing!
@TheM Thanks a lot! Text games usually tend to be interactive to compensate its absence of graphics; idlers tend to be slow but dynamic. I thought both of them were pretty contradictory, so hence the game!
Interesting idea! I like that waiting is literally the main mechanic in this game. The audio is a nice touch that helps to set the mood.
@Darby-Costello @Travis-W-Hendrix @TheM Thanks a lot! It makes me really happy to read this :)
You wasted a huge chance here by not making this game in Godot. ^^
Likes ------------- Very special game... I like it. This could be ... Legen ... wait for it... dary! If this really has 24 hours of game play, jeez.
Improvements -------------- Wish I could run that in a browser. ^^
Gist ------------- This is literally a game I have been waiting for.
So, funny and clever mix, but i can't wait all day for stuff to happen :P, still it made me giggle when I realize what the game was gonna be like, really clever
@Thygrrr I love Godot! It's Argentinian like me ;) Juan Alpaca is a great influence here in the industry. I'm a bad programmer, but I could try, Thanks for the feedback!
@Q-ro Thanks a lot! I really liked what you said. It's a concept I was trying to use for a while, still looking for it to be more interactive.
It was a very unique idea and concept!! i was waiting for about 10 minutes and expecting to happen something or starting the game but then i realized it is game itself :joy: !! it was really interesting to interact with!! great job!!
Original idea! I only had to wait a little longer so I guess I lost my patience to quickly with this. Thanks for the experience though.
If you want to tryout something alot more stressfull( more like quick-fire popcorn-type @Darby Costello), please try our contribution; https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/tour-de-france-legstrong
I Can't wait to see what will happen after wait is there is any sortcut :D NICE GAME
@Bhavin @Freebo @bhavesh_tiwari As a little hint. Something DOES happen exactly 10 minutes after the music stops. And then something happens 10 minutes later and... Well, I'll leave it up to you! :yum: Thanks for the comments and ratings! I'll definitely play your games
me gusto tu idea bastante, el concepto esta muy bien elaborado!
So I have to leave it on for 24 hours? Caraziness
@Cryovr Gracias!
@theamazingb If you do, take a screenshot and follow the instructions on screen ;)
Wow, one of the most unique entries. I'm excited to see what happens so I'm leaving it open.
Thanks, @fashionbatman ! I hope you like waiting and birds~
I plan to make more games, but with more meaning than this one
Although I don't necessarily "get it", it was an interesting experience and I jammed out to the music.
@Langotriel Thanks a lot for showing it in the stream!

Did anyone get the crow ending? (?
@joemid I think I waited enough, lol
This is definitely an...interesting way to approach the theme. I'm probably not going to have time to actually see the entire thing, but good job nonetheless!
Probabky the only game you can play while playing another game while waiting for this game to progress. I fealt like i was being trolled.. in a good way :joy:
When the music stopped i felt a bit spooky too.
@FarawayVision @MZA Thanks a lot! It never ocurred to me to make a spooky game, but hey, I could re-make this one!
an original idea. but i think its a little TOO out there for me haha :) well done for hooking peoples curiosity though :) success.
I cant wait. Whats happend to me. I blame New games. Lol
Worth the wait-I swear! Congratulations. I've put more time into this game than most of the games in my steam library. I can't wait for what you two make next! Thanks for the game!
Love the idea! The text pauses are quite well coordinated, it's just perfect <3
But FUCK THIS SONG, DUDE
Maybe 24 hours is too much? Who knows. For me, I'm still waiting!
@Partida-Joel lol, "quick fire pop corn game", said someone before!
@joemid I can't believe you actually beat it. I'll respond to your email!
@elHombreBanana It is a lot indeed! I wanna make it more interactive, but I think that would mess up the mechanic of the game that is, well, um, waiting... if that makes sense. The character doesn't really like the music either, so hey, you share that :yum: Saludos!
Well, at work now so I got about 8 hours to have this on my screen :D Any chance we get some cookies at the end ? ..maybe I'll leave it on till tomorrow.
Really nice concept of gameplay :)
Damn! Good that I do have a third monitor idling on my desk corner. ;-)
@BauBau I didn't expect anyone to reach to the end! But 2 people did and I gave them a steam key for being the firsts ;)
@TheFlyingKeyboard @MaxKlimenok Thanks a lot! I hope you end it ;)
__Fun__ Was I supposed to modify the code to get through this? I suppose not. Sending you an email now feels like cheating so lets not do that. Anyways this is not fun at all. Off all skills I lack patience is probably the one I need the most. I'm also not that good at giving up. The idea however is pretty fun. A medium amount of points will be rewarded.
__Innovation__ Let's see. Waiting is not innovative. Yet teaching people like me how to wait might be. It is skill that will slowly be in contemporary society. Wait. This is not an essay for a philosophy course.
__Theme__ The waiting game + text/sound based? I guess the waiting game is incompatible with everything.
__Audio__ I didn't expect this to be there. Free points for that. The audio was decent, but annoying, as pointed out by the game.
__Humor__ I can't see the humor in waiting. I think. Maybe I do. Unsure. I guess you will have to hack the LD database to find out, just how I was going to hack your game. Not really the same way. Not at all actually. Ah well.
__Mood__ There was definitely emotion. And a long emptiness.
__Overall__ I'm not sure what to think of this. Well played.
Yeah I mean, what did I expect. There it is, waiting on the other monitor.
Upon hearing the theme I sweared someone's gonna make this combination as a joke. And what a bad joke it is.
I left my rating of your game, if you can leave your feedback in our game, Witch's Escape.
I hope you continue with the project.

@abductedPlatypus I'm really thankful for the long feedback! It's the review I needed :)
@cristiano-m-garcia I'll do it! Thanks
I... I don't know what to say.
After four days (I think? I lost track), I finally managed to finish this game - this was definitely worth the time!

I definitely enjoyed the experience (and the shock at the end when you suddenly hear the theme playing in the middle of a podcast), and I hope to see more games with experimental mechanics like this!
Interesting idea. These really are incompatible genres. The lack of interaction privates the "game" part anyway. Excellent experiment but i won't be waiting 24 hours LOL. Congratulations on making something super original!
