Interesting and challenging game but controls are quite strange.
Nice audio! need more feedback to be clear, we don't understand at the beginning. And ... loved the "love" thing
Exellent game! Beautiful graphics, nice atmosphere and original gameplay and nice level desgin.
Best game for me so far ^^ Need a longer version of this!
Nice graphics and interesting concept. Need more of the "ten second thing" to realy fit the theme, like an effective ten second time to fly between two towns.
Very well built and good game! Fun to play thanks to the good level design. Good job!
You should add a warning for epileptic people ^^ Fun game
Interesting game but some issues with hitboxes make this game very hard (especialy with yellow-idontknowwhat-drops). Nice character design.
Classic gameplay but well built game and good level design. A "dash" button should me more interesting than a "run" one.
Need more things to do to be funny : another gameplay brick, or a better level design. The character is funny and the music is nice.
Fun game but it needs a goal to be more interesting. Just add score and leaderboard and it would be very nice.
Great thing to add achievement, but I'm still not sure that we can do a 10 second flight
Classic game but very nice graphics and controls!
Good job! Funny and very challenging game.
Classic but fun game. An online leaderboard is a very good idea.
Well... I think i didn't understand the point of this game. How do you play?
Good and addictive game with some good ideas like the item shop. Try to add animations on your player next time it would be more punchy!
Good idea but need an objective or a more philosophical thing to do than walking.
Good concept and approach of the theme, but some issues with level design (start the game by climbing walls with walljumps is not very intuitive)
Very hard game but good concept!
Not bad. Try to add some level design and not only a ghost going faster. It can be more funny with maze for example.
Nice work on athmosphere. You yould add a little more feedbacks about progression of the player.
Great game! Nice graphics and original approach of the theme. Keep working on it with more challenging ennemies for example, and it could be an awesome game.
Very difficult to control and some issues with AI. Fun game but could be better with local 2 player mode.
Very nice audio! But this game need some in-game explanation to be fully understandable. I don't really found the theme.
Nice job! Loved the concept! you need to go further on this. Add music and sounds to begin ^^
Interesting concept, very close to real life game developer job
Interesting game that can become a little addictive! Squares that change colors by themselves could add a little more difficulty and fun.
Interesting idea and very good athmosphere. Just need a little more things to do, or a more "active" environment.
Very fun and original game! I also really wanted to rate your art, originality and other stuff, why only compete in audio and mood?
Awesome work!
Edit: Nice! We can now vote for other categories! Here come a lot of good rate! ^^
A little bit too 2048-ish in my opinion, but very beautiful an polished game! Very nice work!
Good game here! The concept is interesting and the realisation is great! Using audio volume as a feedback is a good idea. Nice!
Thanks everyone for your comments!
I didn't want to make heavy in-game explanations about what to do because I wanted a quite minimalist game, but I now realize it's a little hard to undestand ^^' sorry for that!
For those who will read this comment and want to try complete the game : you have to interact with environment, especially campfires (the goal is to turn off all lights in the right order).
Thanks again everyone!
I updated my game description with some big hints to help you ^^
I worked a lot on end screen I'm a little sad you guys can't find the solution ;)
A well realised game with tricky level design. A little too much SMB inspired in my opinion : try to make your own character next time! Good work though ^^
Wow! Amazing game! I love the concept, link to the theme, level design, graphics and the realisation! Fantastic work!
Simple and fun! Nice work here! Try to improve ou graphic skills to make realy awesome games! :)
Even if it doesn't fit the theme, it's a very fun game with nice graphics, audio and humor! Good work!
Frogger on steroids! Way too difficult for us, humans ^^
Even if this game don't make any sense, it made me laugh! Good ideas (the cinema thing is very fun) and good work on physics ^^
Way too hard for me but ... Awesome artwork and music! This game is very polished and interesting to play! I really liked it! Good job!
Cute little game! Very easy to complete but so adorable!
A nice-looking game with an interesting concept! Put more food to challenge the player on his speed and stress management. Nice work!
Beautiful art and audio! It's very sad this game doesn't fit the theme.
Nice work! I like the controls : they are hard to master but quite fun to play.
WTF did I just play?!
Very strange and awesome mood! I loved it!
Thig game needs a little more interesting gameplay to be a very great game.
Very pleasant game. A simple but good idea with nice graphics and nice musice.
Perfect! The funniest game of this LD, hands down!
Really strange and nice graphics. And quite funny mood. But I think this game deserve more gameplay.
Oh come on! This is too small for my poor eyes! ;)
Very fun game, a little to har for me though. Nice work!
Nice work on physics, controls and UI! Classic but fun to play.
Ok, I really really love your game... This is totally hypnotic and addictive. Great concept and I love this minimalist atmosphere.
Aweseome work!
It took me way too long time before I understand how to avoid these spikes. The idea is interesting but not intuitive at all. Maybe use another thing than "spikes" : why slow down to avoid them?
Very nice and unusual concept.
I really loved the way you linked sound and wheel speed.
Nice work!
It's pretty sad you didn't have the time to make some sound like monsters cry, the mood would have been so nice!
The visual feedback under the avatar while he is jumping helps a lot! It's a very good idea.
Good job, as always :)
Thank you everyone for your nice feedbacks!
@Everyone who felt into the void: it's just a metaphor of freedom. Will you know what to do when you become free after a complete life of slavery? (Nah, just kidding! I didn't have the time to make a proper end and I totally forgot to freeze time when you reach the exit! :p )
@Reallysketchy: thanks a lot dude! 1984 was my main reference. This, and Metropolis. I am really happy someone noticed it!
@Everyone who want animations: I struggled hard with Unity's animator. In fact, it was the very first time I used it, and I failed after hours of work. I think I need more practice for my next LD ^^
Awesome entry!
The art is just perfect, and the mood is great too!
The level design is maybe a little too "hardcore". Just add some checkpoints to be less frustrating for big-fingered-totally-noob players like me :p
Awesome art! A very fun and well made game. Nice work!
Nevertheless, it's difficult to know exactly where the hitbox are and it can be frustrating.
A well made game with nice physics, and in a very few amount of time. Good job!
Interesting concept!
Maybe the controls need to be more precise: they are sometimes very frustrating.
The idea is interesting but try to add some challenge for the player next time. A timer, point system or combo system would have been great here.
Nice work for you first LD ^^
Interesting idea, nice art style and fun to play! Good work!
Perfect! This game made me laugh a lot. Awesome sound work and art work. Awesome work!
Nice idea! Unfortunately, yous should have integrated another control for the rock throwing to be fully playable.
Great work though!
Simple and clean. Nice looking trees : nice work on their generation. Good work!
Very nice idea and commited game. It's sad you couldn't work more the art and mood.
It reminds me the game "September 12th".
Nice work!
Controls need to be more polished to be really fun. Good work on building destruction though.
Very nice game, with a great mood, nice art (why can't we vote for that?!), interesting gameplay ...
Awesome entry! Congrats!
Lovely graphics and well made tutorial! But, I can't play a such cruel game :(
Polished, challenging and nice looking game. Nice work!
This artstyle is juste the best thing I have seen in LD. You are amazing!
Go further on it, please! Add some gameplay mechanics, add a story, add whaterver you want, but damn, I need more of this!
This concept is so smart. Il love it!
I was doubtful about the controls at first, but it in fact, they work very well!
I don't speak about art and music, of course, they are perfect.
Awesome work guys!
Interesting cute idea!
Try to add "game over" screen and "try again" button next time, because it's very unpleasant to refresh the page to start over.
And this SFX is not very good ><
Interesting idea and nice art. I didn't realy understand what I had to do to progress and earn money.
Good job though :)
Don't work on WebGL for me :/
I am not sure to understand the link with the theme.
Wow, this totally uncomfortable atmosphere is awesome! I'm not a big fan of the short music loops, but the visual aspect of the game is mad.
Very interesting approach of the theme! Good job!
Nice mood, nice sound, nice gameplay. Very innovative and well made! Good job!
Try to train your art skills for next ludum dare and you will make a perfect game!
Wow!
What a polished game! Great work!
The animation and the level design are very nice!
The WebGL version is fixed!
I wish I had more time to work on a tutorial, it's very sad to see people that don't understand :( sorry guys!
The gameplay is very easy: just click on circles in the sky. While clicking, draw the shapes following dotted circle.
@Anshul : Thank you! This game was indeed meant to be exported on android, but you know, I didn't really had the time to deal with mobile platform issues in addition of other platforms :s
@Everyone: the WebGL issue is not fixed after all. As the problem seems to be linked with the last version of Unity, I think I will not be able to fix it.
Thank you everyone for your comments!
I know there is a lot of issues with feedbacks, and I think this is this particular point that make the game hard to play (this, and the mouse instead of a touch screen).
For instance, when you miss to draw a circle, the trail renderer continues: it's not obvious that you missed.
Once again, thanks to all of you. I'm really glad a lot of people enjoyed my game, even with its imperfections.
Interesting how a such simple gameplay lead to a very complicated mental gymnastics.
It took me a very long time to understand what exactly I have to do. But it's well made and fun to play.
Classic gameplay, but cute art and quite good level design! try to add sound next time :)
Well made! And interesting approach of the theme, quite arty. I liked the mood. Try to improve your art style and you make build very great games!
I was a little bit frustrated when I lost and the level was still running though
I liked the animation of bubblegum and th humor of the game!
I assume that the level design is procedural, which leads sometime to very difficult / unpossible situations :(
Well ... OK!
I am not totally sure of what I just played, but, the mood is so good! The art style and the sound are awesome!
Good work!
Interesting approach of the theme!
It seems that the level design is a little to hard though.
Good work!
That's so cute! The music is very sweet and the concept is interesting! Good job!
What an hypnotising game!
I enjoyed it! Very nice choices on colors and simple shapes.
It's a bit sad you didn't compose music by yourself, but I know it's not a thing everybody can make :)
Great job!
Very cute and fun game! Very good job! I really enjoyed the way you introduced controls, it's very smart!
Interesting idea but I don't really understand how I am supposed to slow down this "vertical speed".
Good mood though.
112! Yay!
I LOVE it! It's exactly the kind of game I'd be happy to make. It's beautiful, the music is great, the SFX are super cool, and the gameplay is really neat and addictive. I mean: "Superhexagon addictive level"
Great work!
The art and the sound are amazing! Great work!
(But it quickly become very hard :p)
I am not sure that there is a real ending to this game, but the idea is very cool and your work on the mood is insane. Both visual effects and sounds serve the mood and it's just perfect. Try to bring the end earlier next time to avoid player's frustration.
Good job!
Gorgeous. Smart. And such a good mood! I loved it!
The "replayability" is a good point too.
Very good game.
Simple but efficient game.
Be careful with the procedural level design, it builds some impossible or very frustrating situations like "starting directly in a spike"
Good job!
Well made game. Try to add some innovative parts to your gameplay next time ^^
Good job here!
The art is very cool! Make me think of Monument Valley :) and nive level design too!
Only negative feedback : try to differentiate triggers you have to activate one time and those you have to keep pushing.
Well made and interesting concept. Nice work on the score ladder!
Try to improve your art skills!
The character is cute and its animation quite fun. But try to add life to the environment, and work on a smoother game progression next time :)
Nice art style!
I think the level design is based on some randomness, which is pretty sad here because sometimes, the game is just impossible. Enormous "particles" block the way and you just have to wait your death.
Very good work though!
Funny mood and nice work on sound! Try to improve your level design with some better rythm next time ^^
Nice work on the mood.
The rythm of the game is damn too slow : both animations and enemy income are frastrating. Try to increase the speed of everything and the game should be way more fun ^^
This game is well made and the concept is quite interesting ^^
Try to export the game on other platforms (at least a WebGL or Win version). I had to open Internet Explorer to play! :o
Good job! :)
What the hell did I just played?!
Awesome idea and modeling! Not sure what to think about the "gamplay", but very it's a neat concept!
I'm very curious : how did you get this strange idea? That's very fun and well made. Good job!
One of the best entry I've seen this LD!
Awesome work : great idea, well polished game, nice music, beautiful art, lot of stuff and HUMOR! Congrats!
The only problem I found here was the lack of checkpoints but it seems you already know the issue.
Keep working on it, it's so cool!
Chaos is often a bad choice for video games. This is the case here in your level design. It's very hard to understand where to go, and why you should go. Try to add some basic goals and non-randomized paths to have a real impact on player experience.
The idea is quite interesting though.
Nice work for a game made in only 5 hours.
Idea to improve the game (with time to do it): broken physics to make the game harder!
I think the idea is quite interesting, but the lack of feedbacks make the game hard to understand. Try to have a smaller scope (have a management system AND an action gameplay was maybe too much for a first LD) and focus more on feedbacks next time!
