A peaceful tale about a man's quest to be totally alone.
The storyline behind the game is a bit odd. It's probably the only submission about a murder/suicide. A man pushes his wife out of a hot air balloon so he can be truly alone, only to face the wrath of karma. He dies, and ends up in limbo where he will be alone for eternity. The funny thing is, he likes it. He's finally at rest. But there's more to it than that. He's insane. And not in an interesting and quirky way, in a "I painted a portrait of you with my feces, but I ate it before I had a chance to give it to you" kind of way. There is no hot air balloon, he just pushes her out the window and runs into the street. Those are not birds, they're cars. Those are not fighter planes and UFOs, they're police. Under it all, this is a pretty dark story about a man who murders his wife and commits suicide by cop. But that's depressing and hard to draw, so you get clouds and balloons. I thought you'd enjoy that more.
This is an HTML5 game, so it's best to use the latest version of Chrome or Firefox. Opera and Safari also work. IE probably will not work.
