Tiny Tale is the story about Jack, he has no clue where he is standing or what he is doing there.
[Update: It seems Dropbox put back an earlier edition, will fix this as soon as I am home]
[Update 2: It should now be the complete version as intended]

The graphics are nice enough and the swirly effect between screens is quite effective in creating a dreamlike mood but for some reason the game seems to (frustratingly) break down after the 3rd or 4th screen. It's still running but the guy gets lost behind the church? and there doesn't seem to be any interaction with e apart from to remove the bubble at the start. I'd like to see more of the game though :)
I love the transition effect, but as mentioned above, there doesn't seem to be anything to interact with. Is that a bug or did you not have time to finish it? The game looks like it could be very interesting though!
I just found out that Dropbox placed back the older version that doesn't have the Church outside and interaction back. Will fix it as soon as I get home.
But I couldn't do anything in the game. I tried pressing E in front of each house, but nothing happened. Then I got to the church scene, and I couldn't interact with anything :-( Bug somewhere?
A game should have "gameplay" within the meaning of interaction plus meaningful decisions. The latter means among other things, that there should be something like competition - your game lacks of it.
Here additional feedback:
- if you walk off the screen, the transition effects lasts so long, that if you even push a single second the -> key, you are in the middle of the next screen instead of the left side. - in a house, you can walk of the screen (right side). - in the last screen: if you walk fast enough, you can avoid the right screen's collision checking. - if you start walking to the right while the title screen fades out, you avoid the collision checking again and the second screen doesn't appear. - the walking animation looks funny :)
I hope you are not demotivated or something like that. Keep going!

The game lacks a lot, I was happy that this was the outcome since last year LD#22 we had to give up due to RL things.
But we'll learn and next time, there will be more "Gameplay" involved.
