The Convolution

I didn't quite understand the game but I think it holds something mysterious. (But I don't understand it either :P ) But the artstyle is very cute! Good work.

It took me a little while to catch on, but once I witnessed the trick I realize I should have figured it out sooner! The wall collisions are a little glitchy, but I liked the simple music and the art is great. I could only find 4 hidden paths, are there actually 6?

I didn't understand anything at all :( I found five "T" schemas and 2 dialog boxes, but I don't know what to do with that.. neither with my character.

@kaganobik Thx! Glad you were able to gleam something out of it!

@reef: Door. Border. Garden. House. Path. Tree. Hover over with a mouse and there should be an effect spawn ... Prepare for much anticlimactic-ness. It currently has no payout... Wall collisions are the WORST right now and I love how they make the guy phase. Glad you "saw" something in the game!

@karreg. I made it and I still don't understand it. I get to Watch anyone else who comes across this little fella scratch their heads too and I think that's neat. I should have done more Beta Testing!

At first I was like what? And then I was like whaaaaat? And then I figured it's like a really strange pattern recognition game and could not find the last thingie at all. And I tried to blow up everything anyway. And then I saw the closed door and boom. Happy for the resolution. After finally getting the ending I was like whaaaaaaaaaaaat?

I have no idea, what you created here. Not a clue about the story/message. And now I read above it basically is the same for you too? This is so weird. Where did it come from? Did you create it in a dream?

I have no idea, what this is about. Or why it was compelling and, yes, fun. Really fun. But it's beautiful. And I love it.

My biggest fear is that people won't get (which I don't either. At all.) and for that might rate you lower than you deserve(i.e.: high).

Thank you, @purrseus! That you found "perspective" in my little game means a lot. But also, I do not deserve your Words. I wish you all could Witness my face smiling so big, pulling on my Braids.

Didn't found every puzzles but I really liked the mood, pretty unique :)

The Convolution

I saw this on the feed, and well, it was certainly something! **From reading your posts and the comments above I can see this was more of an experimental and playing-around-with-ideas sort of game, and I think it serves its purpose as just that!** Here's hoping making this little project achieved its purpose for you to move forward with your personal work.

It was curious to click around and try to find the different things and puzzles that were interactable. The graphics, which seem to be your speciality, were also very appealing and I really liked the palette that you went for! The little jokes, the guy fieri quote and everything else were also great humorous and I had a fun time with it given its scope and goals. Thanks for it! **Cheers! :whale:**

I found all 6... I'm proud of myself, and you should be too. :D

I am very curious how you did the win screen. Was that from memory?

greebs 2020-10-09 16:09

Waking up and reading this stuff makes me happy! So thank you. @mrtroy I rotoscope Rick Astley once per year. I'm not gonna lie... It's never let me down, made me cry, or deserted me. https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ

Consider all of yourselves blocked, with love.

Wow, very interesting and tricky, and very polished too! It took some time to figure it out, and I just found 6 hidden paths, and are there anything to do in order to finish the game? ^_^

greebs 2020-10-11 20:41

@yword Thank you! And... you will never Witness a finish here. https://youtu.be/MpmGXeAtWUw?t=90
