Nicelittle puzzle with unusual interpritation of the theme!
Nice game!
Awesome game! I've played for hours
This game is fun and well balanced!
Fantastic style!
Wow, this is awesome!
Solution for "One screen problem" is really elegant.
Graphics is simple and clear.
I love it =)
Nice pixel graphics.
Love the feature with 4 virtual hands =)
Really nice!
I like how level is changing.
Nice job!
Soooo cool ad soooo awesome! =)
The game also is 100% on one screen.
This game is amazing. Love it.
Visuals are awersome but I didn't get whats going on.
Five stars for graphics!
This is sooo much fun!
Awesome!
I love this entry! =)
Wow, this is cool.
Very meditative game, but also very nive and very charming.
It's 100% pure one-screen game, but eventually it shows up new depths.
Simple controlls are also great.
Number 1 game on our team's game designer's list =)
Lightning is fantastic!
Normally I don't complain about games on LD but this time I want to share some thoughts on what could be done in a different way.
The whole game is just don't fit together for me.
The story is like any other sad story we can read in newspapers. It has some character to it only because it's told to player by someone who is in trouble. We have some details and random thoughts, but it's all. There's nothing making this story different from thousands other sad stories, nothing saying us why this story is unique or even just notable.
Gameplay is from another universe. It's perfectly themed but the mechanics fights with storytelling. If you concentrate on playing you just don't read. Otherwise you have to constantly switch between playing and understanding story. Either way you're loosing the story.
There are a few small things that break the mood. The monitor looks great, but the trail looks wrong. Everything about it - it's length, it's width, how it moves. Acceleration on left click looks cool thought, but I've found it only on my third playthrough. Btw, the ECG is normally on the same side of the bed where the head is.
The heartbeat sound helps a lot. Splash sound ruins everything (when the Heart touches butterfly). I don't know what she's doing with butterflies but I'm sure she's not killing them.
Personally I prefer to tell stories by visuals, not by text. This is because on visuals you don't have to make a choice between length of the story and lack of details. You can make most important things obviously seen and add any amount of additional information by small details without forcing the player to read it all. Those who are interested to know the story better will find details they are looking for. Those who are not interested won't be bored by something they don't want to know.
Please excuse me being so critical. This is because I'm touched by your game and I was expecting more than I got from it.
I don't think you've done bad. I bet you can do better.
One of my favorite games is "To the Moon" by Freebird Games. The story in beautiful there. Check it out, I think you'll like it =)
Awersome horror atmosphere and really cool pixel graphics
I think that I could not sleep tonight...
This was fun, but very strange :-о
Very thoughtfully
Nice retro thingy.
Hard to master though.
Feels like this game wants a little more love to it (at least in button handling and jumping ladder things ;-) ).
Fun! Requesting replay button at the end screen!!!
[Triumphantly] POWER! UNLIMITED... POWER! [sends Windu flying out the window to his death]
Nice horror atmosphere and cool restartting feachure!
Fantastic theme interpritation
Visuals are also awesome!
Limbo-style meets Non-Limbo-style
Wow, quake-like dynamics =)
Fun!
It's so hard to be a space taxi driver nowadays. =)
Great enrty, I love it!
Nice job for 27 hours!
Huh... Alone in this creepy mansion...
That's scary!
Nice! Enjoyed playing.
Very interesting story!
Nice game, I enjoyed playing it =)
Controls are a little bit glitchy to my taste.
Download link not working for me =(
It's fun to play this game with friends =)
Can't figure out what controls are doing exactly, though.
> @Harley77 says ...
> Very nice, short little game.
Agreed =)
Funny gameplay and nice graphics!
P.S. Your prevous "Party" game is also AWESOME! =)
@bitserum
Thanks! =)
@DMinsky
Thanks!
Yeah, I agree about aesthetics. At the last day we had to make a choise: to finish "Act 3: 2014" or to remake the game for Europe or North American aestetics. And we decided to finish 2014.
Though, we are thinking about making source code for this project available so anyone can make the story of his own.
I'll make a post about this (on LD) if we decide to.
Hey all!
Thanks for warm comments!
@goodbadokay
Yeah, she is cute =) We've added her literally in last minutes and I'm not sure that I've placed her where she intended to be. Though, maybe this is not a bad place for her ;-)
@Code Medicine
The file for unity Web Player is 51 Mb, but sometimes it stucks when loading. Don't know why =(
I'll try to make downloadable version to solve this problem =)
@Hellequin
I'm glad you liked it! =)
@zhookevil
Привет, Макс! Мы живем тут: terranivium.ru Будет скучно - пиши =)
Выздоравливай!
@camlang
Thanks!
@OldMonstr
=D
@Bonobo Games & Mechanic Moon
Gracias!
Love this game. Nice job!
Can't wait to see how engineers are buding stuff and predators are creeping to base (in future versions) =)
Some more controll over mission would also be cool. Maybe sone indirect control or something. The interface (like oone on the screenshot) is also a must-do thing!
Games with flashlight and darkness are kind of popular on this LD
Great sound
Minotaur is great
I love how beautifully you wrapped up such a simple idea.
Nice job!
Controls are fine for me btw.
Love the graphics and the mood. Audio is also awesome.
The goal isn't clear.
It's like: "I think I should run. Ouch, I'm dead. Oh, I'm dead again. Wow, I can run to the left and to the right too..."
I'm glad I'm finally safe... for now.
Very interesting idea about the theme!
This is fun, I've enjoyed playing it.
Nice feature with sword indirect control.
Now I can draw perfect circles with my mouse! Yay! =)
Nice 3d game to implement in 3 days.
MADNESS!!!
Love the smiley-screen
Hello from Microsoft #GamesJam!
Kawaii undeads rullz! Five stars!
Nice TD with evil green pacmans ))
Nice stealth platformer
This game is better than Click The Cow
Wow, that's a house I'd say! =)
There is no school like the old school!
Nice puzzle game!
Your game is awesome as always =) LoA is still my favourite though.
I'm not going to do any push-ups as morning exercises any more.
I'm fearing frowers will start growing from my butt =/
drugs are fun XD
Wow. Good job for 3 days.
I liked first area in updated version and second in the original =)
I think you are ignoring some important things in your development. First thing that need to be on your todo list is:
-Add gameplay.
Because it's not a game if there is no gameplay (ok, maybe it'still a game but it's not fun).
The time you put in making second room should be spent adding gameplay and posting game build during submission hour.
Plan you time properly, make your priorities wisely and don't give up next time!
I like this =)
Simple and fun.
I liked it but it's too hard to create sellf-moving pattern that targets enemy geomancers (or probably boimancers).
Wow, it's soo hard to play.
Awesome!
The only problem is that actually you can't grow your beard by paying to it =P
This game is fun! I liked it very much.
I thinkm it should be named "Road of assholes" because none of them using back mirror when changing lines! }:-[
Nice!
Can't figure out how to use lacer :-с
Nice game. I enjoyed playing it! =)
Yay, daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaachshund!
I liked it =)
Is it possible to overcome the enemy?
Its Flower Power!
score 108!
Nice.
I agree with @justinooncx. Checkpoints would be nice. Too easy to miss the platform when jumping.
Yep, it's crashing.
Can you try making 32 bit build?
NICE X GAME!
You could do much better in 72 hours instead of just 10!
Is it just me or there is a hidden cat in this game?
Meow.
По-моему, мир мерцает.
I liked your game.
My opinion that it's in horror genre =)
Hey! Thanks for feedback =)
We fixed stucking ner broken vase.
We wanted to make buttons on remote control light when you need to answer, but we ran out of time.
Same thing with dialogue mechanics - it needs to be cleanerfor player.
Maybe we'll make a post-compo build to adress this issues.
Nice! Enjoyed it.
Text (font) is painfull to read =(
Winter sports entry! Nice! =)
The concept of people sitting in the pit, and the food falls on them from the tube - at least... strange
I don't adgee that LD themes are the worst... Imho LD themes are fine. Not the best and nt the worst.
GGJ themes are the worst. In 2014 theme for Global Game Jam was "We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are". In 2010 - "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain".
I just broke my keyWoard. I caM Mot play agaiM :((
Nooooo! Omar is fired ='(
Liked the game.
@Ayaya33 saying smart things, consider listen to him carefully=)
Unorthodox camera for runner
Dizziness...
Pooping wihile eating is disgusting.
I'm enjoyed this very much! Nice!!!
Please comsider continue your work on this game!
It's crashing for me =( Probably win10 is the reason.

I liked the game a lot. Great Mood.
I disagree vith @Baecun about, I liked the Evil Circus style of the game.
Please add description how to play! (what to do, what buttons to push, whats the goal)
Hightly not clear what to do.
Will be back to review again =)
I agree with @Xgor about three hands!
Профессор Сакамотович это пять
Cute. I enjoyed playing this. =)
