Fog is a game in which your goal is to connect the nodes of the world to remove the fog and unveil the map hidden underneath.
The minimalism is in both the fog hiding everything but what's necessary to complete the map, as well as the story having very few details, leaving the player to imagine their own storyline.
The game was written in under 72 hours, with all the art, sound effects, and coding done in-house. Music thanks to incompetech.com and Bandetto (hidden fun).
Don't press N on the main menu if you are at risk for seizures. No reason.
Note: If you're having trouble running the game, try installing the XNA Redistributable.
Ok, I got it to work. I basically reinstalled the xna redist...odd.
Anyways, I really love the art in this game, really cool. Also the fog is awesome and the levels are well designed such that you don't blindly fall into traps. The subtle glow of the mushrooms is a nice touch.
I really enjoyed the art direction that you took with this game. I also thought that the fog and then the reveal worked out very nicely. The music was fitting, too
Graphics were nice, music was charming, and it was an interesting concept altogether, Not sure how minimalistic you can really say this is, but I'd say it's enough. I can hardly believe you made all those levels with all that art and design in 72 hours, good job!
I saw a blog post of this before they all had to be entered - I told myself to keep an eye on this one, so glad I've found it! Very peaceful, quite relaxing, I definitely enjoyed this one a lot
The art and ambiance are good, but I think the mechanic lost its appeal after the first few levels. It would have been nice to have some complexity added to it as you progress.
Ok, please disregard my stupidity, it looks like I just needed to download the XNA framework :D Fantastic game with a really charming mood and interesting mechanic. I love how the fog dissipates when the level ends.
Something of a flawed masterpiece this, I'd say. Lovely art & sound, nice mechanic and very well put together.
Some suggestions: 1. You shouldn't have to use the mouse to click on next, when all the other controls are on the keyboard. 2. The first light should be activated automatically - bit annoying to have to backtrack because you didn't realise/forgot that you needed to activate it.
Excellent entry. Finished the game. Really liked the way the finishing of a level reveals the whole picture. Great way to combine a good mechanic with good graphics!

Would be nice of those orbs would be automatically be activated when you move past them, I forgot to activate them somtimes and had to walk back the same way.

This was a great game and your artist is fan-tas-tic. The only thing this game needs is a readme explaining the controls.

I really wanted to try this out...
