Hello,

This my comp for this 26th Ludum Dare (my second one).

"SLEEP! We have a long way to go" is a game inspired by our chidlhood games. Games that we continue to play in our everyday life: to waste our time sitting in a car or a train, to wait for something hoping that our success will accelerate the time.

Gaming, sleeping, dreaming, traveling...altogether in something minimalist.

I hope that you will like my interpretation of the theme.

- I used game maker, and I am able to export only the windows executable.

- I used GarageBand for the music and the sound effect (except the car sound).

- I used also Illustrator for the graphic conception.

Excellent mood, graphics and audio, and a really unique idea to boot! It's super relaxing, and I love the fact that "way to go" doesn't matter at all by the end of it. I enjoyed this - thanks =]

L'Ambiance indeed. It's not a fun game by any means, but it does have this great ambiance and a strange nostalgia feeling in a way, like it's trying to tell you something important. But you're too sleepy to hear it.

Nice idea and atmosphere. Overall it's not very fun, but it serves well your interpretation, and the theme in general.

Weird. I tried following my finger on the river and the display slowly collapsed then dumped me back on the title.

You put together a beautiful palette, and the audio was awesome. I did actually grow sleepy towards the end.
This was wonderful. Thank you.
