Well that was... strange.
Really liked the concept.
Really enjoyed this one, great music and great atmosphere. The gameplay got repetitive after a while, but the story kept me interested. One problem that really confused me: at the very start the background image is put upfront, so you can't see the player, but once you move away it works fine.
Hi, Author of the game here. Thanks for all the positive and especially negative comments (you learn a lot from the negative ones, just like in the game).
As for the game not being intuitive, I completely agree. This is the first game I ever made(completely anyway) and it's definetly hard to see what you should be doing, but maybe that's the point, eh? One TIP I can give without spoiling the game is this: Don't Suffer too little and don't suffer too much, 3 SEEMS TO BE THE MAGIC NUMBER ;).
Anyway, I'm going to do something horrible now: EXPLAIN HOW TO PLAY MY OWN GAME.
[PLEASE DON'T READ THIS UNLESS YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT TO DO]
-Basically you survive the 4th fall by intentionaly suffering damage on the first 3 falls. You mustn't jump on the black ledges above the falls, if you do you'll start blinking after the 4th fall and soon die.
-After that there are 4 lava pits, you can avoid 2 of them. If you fall into all 4 you will die, and if you fall into only 2 you will start blinking (dying) after the big lava flow.
I don't know, this one seems kind of style over substance.
It runs really slow in firefox, don't know about other browsers, but it looks nice and the music is interesting.
I liked how it's funny and sad at the same time.
Really liked the concept and the story.
This is among the best so far. Really liked the mood. Reminded me kind of Jason Rohrer work.
Great art, interesting gameplay. It's terribly laggy in firefox though.
I like it.
