This is astonishing! Sacrificing gameplay impressive!

It was sooo relaxing that I fell asleep. In work... Nice job, guys :D

Very very cool graphics and mood is great :) could see making cool mechanics in this. Nice job

I would be curious to see what was your original gameplay idea, if you had one, haha ! At least you took your lack of time with humor which is great. Keep up the great job with your graphics, this universe looks super cool.

@ancalagon I can't neither deny nor confirm there was an original gameplay idea, but I might take this a step further in the future hehe :D

@tpamir @derko666 @xenop Thank you! Hope you had a good time despite the complex mechanics! :D

Loved the experience!! Liked the way that the world is created, by using physics xD really amazing, and the art style is great! I'm a big fan of low poly art styles. It reminds me a little to the artstyle that we used in our game, but ours is more simple. Very cool!

This was a really neat calming experience; the mood, audio, and art style were just excellent! I think you could also say that you could sacrifice some hardware power for visual aesthetics as a part of the theme implementation :thinking: :sweat_smile: Screenshot (1).png

@hdugmag Oh man you shouldn't have pushed it that much, I can feel the slugginess just from that screenshot haha :D

Very relaxing. I don't like playing games and this was just fantastic.

I don't know what I really feels about this game. Okay it is a relaxing "game" and the graphics is really good. I also love the idea of sacrificing something in the game development. The idea of removing the gameplay is not bad, and instead focus on graphics and mood is an interesting idea.

But when I am looking at your twitter profile, it is focusing very mush on graphics and on creating interesting atmospheric environments. Perhaps for you a more interesting and challenging sacrifice would have been to make a game with no graphics and no sound at all, and only focus on gameplay.

It perhaps sounds like I don't like what you have made, but this is not the case, I do like it. I just think you could have made a more interesting sacrifice. And if the game had ended up being a bad ugly game, this is only a game jam, and you tried something new and interesting.

I know it's late, but any chance of getting a mac version? I'd love to give this a shot!

adultlink 2018-12-29 11:02

@jeffrey-newton-evans Ah I'm so sorry. I'm out right now and soonest I could build a Mac version would be in ~32 hours, but I'll do it! :)

This was a very cool experience. The worldbuilding is enjoyable to watch. The first person view seems a bit too close to the ground for me. It feels more like I am swimmming (but why not!). I very much like the fact that you incorporated the theme in such a way! Great sport! What mechanics did you have in mind that you sacrificed? (If you have plans to implement them, I would love to not know and be surprised :) )

adultlink 2018-12-30 20:56

@jeffrey-newton-evans Mac build is up if you're still interested! I have no way to make sure everything is working properly, so if you run into issues let me know! :)

adultlink 2018-12-31 13:20

@yopox Uh-oh... Is that all the info you get when you try to open it? I'll try building again

adultlink 2018-12-31 13:45

@yopox Hey, I've uploaded a new build, check it out :) Remember it's a zip file so you'll need to extract the .app first.

Nice creation (: Graphics look nice and the mood is really relaxing. Sacrificing gameplay is a funny idea. Congrats!

jeroenpx 2018-12-31 14:39

Had some fun messing around and inspecting some of the effects. Nice graphics!

I am not sure how, but I think I broke some of it... :smile: BrokeIt_small.png
