This game is really something else, compared to the other entries. You nailed the unsettling atmosphere. Good job!
enjoyed the art style!
Moody, great art style. Good presentation.
The gameplay itself is okay. There are moments of tension, but as soon as you understand that there are no real threat from anything, the tension dissolves and you're just kinda trying to get through menial activities to get to the next bit of animation.
Really cool art, kudos for that.
Great artstyle. Mood was also pretty good.
The questions really helped pull me in at the start.
I loved the art! Sometimes I felt like the square moved really slow and I spent more time pressing Continue than playing the game. The concept and meaning are clear! (ノ・∀・)ノ
( BTW ): We also have an entry if you want to play it and rate it. Really appreciated! :heart:
Amazing! I absolutely loved it. Kudos on the graphics and the mood. I was always looking forward to the next white dot to know what will happen. The story was so captivating. I wish there was less monotony in the main gameplay though like if the square's glow color changed after every transition or something like that, it could happen to the circles pursuing too. Also, the audio was lagging very badly on chrome. But all in all, one of the best I played in this jam. Great job :)
Nice art and very great game, loved it ! Great job !
Really unique and I really enjoyed it. Great work :)
Visually spectacular, the art style is really good, I love it. The music, ambience, colors, all creates a tense and creepy feeling. I was specting the jumpscare all the time. I wanted to inspect all endings so I tried to get all the eyes open to see what happend, but after a point any more eyes open. I would like to see other ending when I get all eyes open. The gameplay is simple and solid. The only suggestion is maybe have a lose condition driven by the gamplay (when all eyes are open something happens). Great game!
Sin nombre.png Great illustrations and atmosphere. I love the way the story is told , you really want to know the end while you are playing.
Wow that was very well done. The audio and visuals were nicely done, and the coding behind the multiple choice is great. The dark spots were very hard to out run, but I guess that's the point. Overall good job!
Great game! It really is unique and manages to set the mood. It feels really nice. And I like the surreal touch, it may try to depict society's expectations of the individual but does so without context. Gave 5 to all except 4 in fun. Also, is there a way to be a square? I really wanted to be a square.
Nice game, Love how everything is balanced! Good luck, Don't forget to take a look at ours if you don't mind and see what it's like when we just focused on graphics in this game jam! Game Link: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/spacelab-42a

*1 & 1/2* :small_red_triangle: out of *17* :eye:
Great art and atmosphere. Cool game!
very interesting entry, the graphics and the mood are excellent. Difficult to say if it's more creepy or psychadelic :sweat_smile:
I also like how you leave the player the impression of choosing the type they'd want to play, only to force them to be something else! And I guess there are several endings as well?
Overall good job!
Fantastic mood and lovely graphics! Such a great style and it all fit together superbly. Game play could be a bit frustrating, but I didn't lose but I suspect I had only a few eyes left to open. Those eyes were creepy. Running seemed a little redundant as there was never a reason to not run? Unless there was an energy bar that I missed, hmm, that's quite likely now I think about it.
I didn't kill it, you made it too cute :cry:
woohoo, I'm free! Quite interesting concept and overall solid entry, congrats ;)
Scary mood. I loved the aesthetic. I have no clue how you drew eyes, creatures and hand, but it is just amazing. I could play a full game using the same aesthetic - unusual. The background music is creepy hypnotical. This is a weird experience (which I passed through succesfully). I was a triangle. Why not? I noticed that other players was sometimes a cube or something else. You randomized our shape arguing "be yourself" - I loved that too. Thank you for this entry - one of my favorite entries for the 42nd LudumDare session ++
