A Happy Place
Ludum Dare 29 entry with a focus on graphics, mood, and audio.
A bit of narrative alongside a bit of interactivity.

CONTROLS:
A - Move left
D - Move right

Just try not to die. That's all you have to do.

I died, crying in a corner.

This was a wonderful experience :D Very disappointed that Cry In The Corner didn't make you more thirsty though.

a little dull, but I suppose that's sort of the point. Really impressive in the audio-visual department, though.

Brilliant experience playing this. Top marks!
Is there any way to outlast the water supply?

A good theme game. I'm assuming you just always die and there is no other ending. The fact that you're actually a square was confusing to me at first though.

Very fun! The art is amazing, I really love it, The "3d" effect is pretty nice too, I wonder what's the player and whats happening but love it. Maybe you can extend it to do more things like go to other rooms.

Beautiful game. I am really impressed with the atmosphere and overall setting. It made me think what would I do in a situation like this. Probably just cry in the corner a lot.:) Is there a possibility to survive? I would like to know.

Usually, I am very skeptic about minalistic pixel art, but in this case, it helps to build the immersive experience. Good way of telling a story.

Soooo... what DO people call blogs these days?

Also, thanks for making this! Great experience.
Would have loved to have an indicator as to how much water I had left instead of finding out only when I just drank the last one. Yeah, no, I didn't keep track myself.

I love how the music helps to creates the mood.

Weird. I'm not quite sure I was meant to feel. It was a kind of blissful death, as opposed to the panic you would expect. Definitely a memorable mood piece with beauty in its audio and visuals. At times it moved kind of slowly -- maybe a bit more prose would help? -- but in some ways that pacing may have helped the mood. Plus, the general minimalism of it is quite appealing. Overall, a really fantastic entry. Well done!

fun concept, love the little room graphics

Love the art concept, and the classic music playing in the background. You really made me feel like I was in a bunker during a war... Very moody game :'D

So good!

Very immersive. I wasn't sad when I died, but the whole experience felt very real, if that makes any sense.
