Beautifull!

Love the visuals and sound effects here, gameplay was okay and I understand it was focused on the storyline but got a bit stale towards the end. Great submission overall as it's really polished for 48 hours

This is a really pretty entry. The trails and bloom are appealing, and the audio is great. As a game, it's pretty simple, though. There isn't really a clear metric for success, and flying around grabbing stuff is about as straightforward as it gets. Adding the opponents brings some much needed complexity, but it isn't really clear how letting them win hurts you. I wasn't really won over by the deep philosophical stuff (it's spelled 'existence,' by the way), but I did think it was kind of cool how the allegory for life came through as the game went on.

Magnifique, love the poetic experience. Didn't found the scene in unity source code, snif

It looks fantastic and plays fairly well but it's a bit lacking in actual game play, once the others show up it seems like you can just stand still and it doesn't make any difference.

Also, I feel like I'm missing something. I'm not sure what triggered it but a pink orb showed up on one of my play throughs and not the others but it didn't seem to change anything except that it was following me around until the end.

I love this! Such a simple experience, but really well made, and a fantastically told story. I didn't expect to get emotional about a glowing ball floating in space :D Great work!
