Verrry nice. Nice concept, beautiful execution. Though once I figured out what to do, I won rather quickly...

Wow, loads of cred for achieving that in such short time. Liked the top too, and great to get to play an unusual type character.

probably the prettiest game I've seen in three ludums. gorgeous, yet moody and somewhat brutal. if it was a woman, I'd have a lasting crush on her.

I love the mood that the game sets, and the little legs flailing around in the water! Tickity tickity tickity! Hilarious.

The graphics are awesome and music fits so well. It has a dark watery mood. Love it

Oh my, this game is quite simple, and amazing, but if you think about it at a deeper level this game is rather dark. The sounds and graphics very amazing. I love the concept. I think not adding a timer made this game loads better. The use of light was very good. I don't deal with dark or sad things very well; I couldn't play more than twice because the dying animation was too much for me. Knowing that I killed this poor little creature was just too much. Maybe games need more of that. I felt oddly responsible for it. That was the worst part. Anyway, great work. Maybe a bit too dark for me. HOW DOES THIS GAME NOT HAVE MORE RECOGNITION?! GAHH. Keep it up! 9/10

This is brilliant. Incredibly moody and ridiculously polished for a 72 hour submission. Very impressive work!

It was a bit laggy for me, but the quality is exceptional for the amount of time. Well done!

A very beautiful game, and an exceptional mood. I loved every part of it. I'm really impressed.

I am awestruck. The feel of your game is sooo good. Thank you for making it!

Good game, amazing feel and mood. Awesome audio and graphics. lacks content though. There isn't much to do or very much variety.

Fantastic entry. I loved the style and music. I'm curious if there is any way to win, or if you always end up suffocating?

A really impressive piece of work. The mood is unbelieveable. Is there more gameplay then 'experiment'? It was not clear to me...

Wonderful atmosphere! The visuals and audio blend to make a lasting impression. This is a very beautiful experiment!

Great audio, graphics and of course, mood. I found the experiment write up at the end was a bit difficult to read though, a combination of the resolution and the hand written script.

Really interesting game!
Just a little (very, actually)... sad in the end (not a bad thing... but I wasn't expecting that). The sound effects at that moment really took things a step further!

Great job!

Beautiful and very atmospheric! The sound let me feel like playing some epic adventure I'm going on, until...

Excellent mood and sound - gameplay is simple but very effective. The menu screen is a bit blurry to read, but not much else to find fault with. :)

Amazing game, excellent in all categories!

(It surprises me that it took me so long to find it. Sometimes you think you've seen the top picks on a particular LD edition and it's far from truth...)

Great job, congratulations!

Beautiful! I like the concept, I can see the parallels between experimenting and learning to play the game, and the evolving lab experiment. Was heartbreaking to see all the dead bugs when I finally reached the top.

Beautiful graphics and audio. Good one!

Very beautiful ambiance. I loved the stark contrast between the calmness of the environment and the constant stress of the gameplay.
Linus Lindberg15 Sep 2013, 21:19
Amazing graphics/audio/mood. Didn't much care for the controls, I would've liked it more if the left and right keys were used for turning instead of moving, but that is just personal preference.
Good job!

I love music and art! Very atmospheric!

This game really sets up a mood. I feel sad for the little creature... The quality of your work is overwhelming!
