You're a mighty warrior, and you spend your life doing quests for various NPC in a medieval fantastic setting.
But what if your whole world disappeared and there were no more colors, no more details ? Even the way people talk has changed, only the essential words are left.
Solve the puzzles and get the world back the way it was... Or not ?
Controls :
- arrow keys
- X, C to talk to NPC
- 1 for the map (when you have it), then 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 on the map screen to go to another location (if you enter your current location, it does nothing)
- X to pick up an object when it's possible
- 2, 3, 4, 5... to drop an object
Advices if you're lost :
- revisit the locations you know to see if something's changed.
- try to combine the objects by dropping them
[TROUBLESHOOTING]
If the game doesn't start when you hit "X", click on the game, then hit "X" again (Flash needs the focus to register keyboard events).
Great concept, nice mood. I like the control very much. Perhaps a little short on challenge...
*fyi I met a bug: if you leave after the dude drops the red squares, you can't make them respawn again. He'll talk and talk but no squares appear. This seems to be a dead end bug.
Strega: Neat concept. I liked the feedback when you jumped on objects to destroy them and change the world. It took a bit of trial and error to complete, but I managed to beat it without using the walkthrough.
I gave this one all fives. I really enjoyed it! I might have liked an auto-jump feature where if you hold down up you keep jumping, but then again I just like jumping. Awesome!
This was a very nice take on the theme, and the story had a very Flatland feel to it. The graphics were really well done, even the simple ones, and the game generally played nicely. I didn't really like the whole concept of going back and forth between places that much, and there were some rough spots with the item system, although some of the puzzles were neat. The ending was a neat idea, but it seemed a little rushed graphically.
Thank you for your comment :) The end was not rushed as I had plenty of time to finish. It was intended to be like this, I wanted it to feel very abstract, as the main character finds himself in a totally unknown situation where he has lost his bearings.
I don't know how to say it. I'm in love with this game!
It's a very tiny game, but very well written, moving, and original. The very beginning enthralled me in a wonderful manner. I didn't know what to expect according to the title, nor when I saw this skilled fighter. And then there's the curse, the minimalist world, and we must learn to adapt. Incredible.
Seeing these pixels explode so often was particularly painful. But it was such a relief to adapt and change the world. The ending was such a wonderful idea too, although quite abstract. Some scenes were deeply disturbing (the mirror), and yet they were extremely simple.
fantastic little game. Not that you copied it or anything but it reminds me of Evoland. I like the script though, how they are constantly amazed by the changes. Doesn't really need a walkthrough in my opinion but I guess you could get stuck if you were really impatient.. maybe.
About the walkthrough, it seemed necessary. How to progress in the story may seem obvious, but I assure you it is not for everyone. For instance, some players didn't realise that they could jump on the red squares and they left the game angry. I prefer that players go through the game even if they use the walkthrough rather than leave frustrated.
As a player, it's not because a game gives me a walkthrough that I look at it. I only look at it when I would have left the game otherwise.
Nice game, especially the mood and the take on the theme, which reminded me of the novel Flatland. The gameplay was a bit frustrating at times, however, due to lack of hints!
One of the best games I have played for this compo. Really well don, nice plot and the feeling of a complete game that's well thought out. I missed some in-game tutorial on how to open the map and to start exploring the world (I'll say in your defense that I didn't read the notes before playing). Thanks you did that walk-trough and linked it at the game window, that helped me earlier on until I could do it on my own.
Lovely game. Brilliant way to incorporate the theme into your story. A little vague on where to go and what to do sometimes but brilliant all the same.
Really nice and fun mini-quest ! Great ending too :)

Hi ! Looks great ! I am trying to play the flash version, but impossible to start it. The game doesn't listen to my X key, (I'm on an azerty keybord), nor to any other key. S'il vous plaît !
Great game. Very good craft. I was happy to see that the game was able to adjust to weather the player chose the high road or low road off the start. Very clever entry. I also loved all of the dialogue during the mirror segment. Good show. :)
10/5 on humor others are 5 from me. Best game I have seen so far. I realy liked the mood the dialogs the idea. I have played many games where they begin with minimal graphics and evolve. I don't like games like that. Even though your game has this idea it is a lot different, deep and fun.
So after reading the comments I thought there might be something more than this annoying white level where nothing can be done. I played again and saw I could press 1/etc. to change locations. This game is a nice achievement, although I find there is little logic in most required actions so I had to visit everything several times and drop random objects until something happened.
Wow, this is awesome. The game flowed naturally for me, no need to look through the walkthrough. I loved how things grew slowly, great take on the theme! Defenitely one of the more polished games I've seen.
Cool! Amazing story! *claps* The gameplay was simple but very polished. Though sometimes it wasn`t obvious if I could pick up/destroy someting. Now let`s craft a sign "This is not 3D"!
I really enjoyed this game! The graphics were nice, it fit the theme great and was actually funny. It's impressive for 48 hours! My only complaint is that it needs some more hints on what to do next. I needed to consult the walkthrough - something I don't like doing.
A very fun entry! Had quite a bit of charm, mood, and humor, and was interesting, though at a couple instances I didn't find the solution before consulting the walkthrough. Even made me think a small bit. Quite enjoyed.

Very cool game, and very minimal. :p
Nice story, good graphics and excellent ending.

I'm really amazed. That's a great work!
Nice!

Really nice story, gameplay, and execution.

Awesome entry overall.

Loved the end music. Lots of fun
