Lovely art style, nice music! Simple game, quite relaxing vibe.

I wasn't sure if the game was over after I got all 3 items, so I ran around to make sure I didn't miss anything anywhere; so I just guessed there was one level and it was nice. Great simple game, lovely job on completing it!

The level generation system is cool idea and art style is good. I really had fun playing it.

Thank you for your feedback and rating.

@iozsaygi Oh I didn't use a level generator. I placed each stone myself. ;)

I know, what i meant was the exploring mechanic.

I enjoyed how the environment slowly evolved. However, I think that the music starts too late in the game.

Pretty cool! I just wanted to play more levels :D. Great job!

Really cool, but maybe a bit more art for the player?

Short and nice. What blindness feels to blind people in a nutshell. You don't know that something is there unless you touch it.

Nice graphics, very simple game but it sets a good mood

Simple but effective minimalist style. Only wish there was more to play. :)

I really like this! It's so... chill. It takes the thing I love most about like... Civilization (uncovering the map!) and turns it into a game itself. I would totally play more of this.

kristinamay 2019-10-07 15:43

(wanted to add that I literally kept your game running in the background because I liked the music so much!)

I simply loved it! simple, incremental, minimallistic... it just works!

I would love to play a longer narrative version under this concept.

Even though really simplistic, the graphical style was somehow visually pleasing. The music was also surprisingly enjoyable. Gameplay was original and fit the theme well. I glitched through a fence once, but that wasn't that big of an annoyance. I don't have much to complain, a really solid game!

I like the concept and the level design. I was a little confused that there was no obvious indication that the game was over, so I kept searching for a while. The music loop is extremely short. It sounds good when it starts, but gets annoying very soon. It could have used some sound effects instead.

Nice concept, and a great fit to the theme from two different angles! Gameplay was simple and well executed: I admit that when I started finding the narrower passageways I almost expected to get stuck (it happened in other games I've tried in the past, and even games by myself), but that never happened here :smile:

Besides the three objects, revealing the level itself and finding out there was more to it than just rocks felt very rewarding too. Great job!

Revealing the level as you traverse it is a nice idea and take on the theme. Would have loved to see a deeper narrative touch to this, as what's there is rather barren, but it goes in a good direction

adliberum 2019-10-12 12:45

Love the way you reveal the level as you play. Neat idea :thumbsup:

Very nicely done. Graphics and music are effective. The obvious missing thing is simply "more" I think.
