Reach the exit. That's all you have to do. Looks easy.
But you are not alone, someone or something is using you as a toy, and it's not going to be that easy. Discover the world as you walk, find new obstacles and learn to overcome them.
You will be alright as long as you remember two things:
a)Always try to reach the exit. b)Don't trust him.
About max score from me. This is definitely the best game I've played so far! :)
Really creative, and all those messages had very good timing - like you really watched over me as I played. The random end-game was also great. I died once because I thought it was a cutscene or something. :p
The first few levels I felt a bit apprehensive, not knowing what was coming up, whether there were any pits or things I would fall into D: I was a little disappointed when there weren't any though. Would've loved to have that slight feeling of fear through out the entire game. But yeah, great game!
@infernet89 As I made the game I forgot to pay more attention to the theme. In the beginning it was more minimalist but also uglier and kind of boring.
@Diventurer The good timing is thanks to my friends, they came to my room from time to time and that really helped me. It's very helpful to have that kind of live feedback.
@lambomang I didn't want the player to die, I thought about including enemies, spikes and similar stuff. In the end I decided to remove those because I didn't want players to feel afraid of exploring.
Thank you all for playing, I'm glad you liked it. By the way, the thing that talks to you through the game was supposed to give you positive messages about life, somehow it developed its own personality and decided to be a jerk :)
That was awesome, one of the funnest games i've played so far! I love how the level develops bit by bit, forcing you to re-evaluate your understanding of the level over and over.
From the beginning on I thought "I feel like a rat in a maze", so I was happy when you made the skinner box reference :)
The game plays nice and it seems to be polished. But the game play mechanic itself isn't that interesting to be honest (just my opinion). So it was a clever move to entertain the player with some funny voice from the off :) And to be fair: when I thought that the game was over I was pleasantly surprised by the wall/running part and the ending. So - well done I'd say :)
I really liked this one. The Portal-esque narrative kept me going until the end. I think not putting in dangerous hazards was a smart decision. At first I was worried I was going to have to be on the look out for pits or traps, and was very happy that the game never went in that direction.
Super cool! Really liked the narration and the discovery aspect. Liked that there was no death for most of it. The sound was a little grating. The last level reminded me of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BiMYjVvhxE.
A game for game-creators. :) Simple mechanics and a lovely explorative aspect. Another part I really liked is that it was impossible to lose, in a puzzle game that really strengthens the gameplay!
Haha, this game is mind blowing! Never before have I seen a game with this great level design! The way you lure the player to believe he's smart, only to ridicule him once he realize he was wrong about a puzzle. Amazing.
I had many laughs(loud ones) throughout the game, but the one where you say "by now you should know my tricks", and actually make a very simple route. That was without doubt my favorite.
The storytelling, the company, the game play in itself, the minimalism. Everything about this game deserves great acknowledgement, and I'm really happy I tried it out.

I though the pingy block discovery noise got a little irritating, though
