Done in 6 hours! :(

Use cursor keys to move, X to talk.

With a surprise at the end screen, didn't want to spoil it with a screenshot :p

Many things left to do, of course. I think it could have some potential, adding obstacles, puzzles, and more graphic adventure elements. Oh, and I think "Beneath The Noise" could be a better title.. :/

oh, thanks to Photonstorm for his support and Phaser!

Short, but sweet game. Really nice color palette and animations.

Beautiful graphics but not much really to the game. No replay-ability.

DrPrettyPatty28 Apr 2014, 07:07

I liked this a lot and wanted to see more, wish you would've spent more than 6 hours on it :)

Them graphics... Wow, they are awesome...
The bird turned out great...
I liked the 4th wall breaking...

anissen28 Apr 2014, 08:37

Nice little "game" (more like animated novel). I really like visual mood and the ending ;)

gikdew28 Apr 2014, 11:34

For only taking 6 hours the game is so good, phaser performs cool!

gigitrix28 Apr 2014, 12:22

Very impressive presentation, there's definitely solid basis to take this further. Feels like I just watched an opening cutscene without being able to play the game though, but as I say it looks excellent and I like the characters :)

Jeremias28 Apr 2014, 12:31

Sad that you hadn't the time to extend it (with some sort of adventure gameplay). But the art is very well done and together with the teasered "backstory", you could create something very special.

bazld28 Apr 2014, 12:34

Beautiful animations - great stuff.

strong9928 Apr 2014, 12:36

Neat presentation. It has the feel and idea of something magnificent, are you going to extend it?

DaanVanYperen28 Apr 2014, 12:47

Impressive work!

luisfelipeart28 Apr 2014, 12:55

In love with the graphics, nice!

feissauthor28 Apr 2014, 13:05

Wow, thank you for the kind words, I didn't expect such this welcome. :)

I feel I could expand it a lot indeed, but don't know if it's worth it.. I'll see how it goes :)

rnlf28 Apr 2014, 13:13

Looks really good. To bad there is no real gameplay. But the art style and mood is astonishing.

smbe1928 Apr 2014, 13:20

Sweet story, lovely graphics.

Idkfawin3228 Apr 2014, 14:23

Absolutely Unbelievable. All my money is down on this one winning. At least on graphics. Excellent job

Hypnohustla28 Apr 2014, 14:38

Really beautiful looking game with a fun little story. :) Nice entry for such short time.

cageinabird28 Apr 2014, 14:39

Dialogue font aside, the visuals are peerless. I love controlling non-human characters too. Shame it doesn't really go anywhere.

Nambiar28 Apr 2014, 14:41

I was wondering what I am supposed to do- dodge something? kill something? sit on something? but then i noticed the sunset and the rest of the scene after that and i just sat there marvelling at it all.

feissauthor28 Apr 2014, 14:45

Thanks guys. Cageinabird, it's funny you complain about the font, because I tried to change it but didn't work (line 6 in the html source code) :D

Tanner28 Apr 2014, 17:10

Pretty nice graphics.

Mefteg28 Apr 2014, 17:48

So touching

StrykerKKD28 Apr 2014, 18:57

The game has a really nice a calm mood.
With some ambient music it would be perfect.

samooJAM28 Apr 2014, 20:53

lmao at the frog joke. Good stuff!

pancakecity28 Apr 2014, 20:54

I wish there was more to explore! The bird flight is exceptionally well done.

saiato28 Apr 2014, 22:13

Great style. Would have loved to see what you could have added with the whole 48 hours :)

xhunterko29 Apr 2014, 01:48

6 hours?! Really? VERY NICE!

DanEEStar29 Apr 2014, 07:03

Beautiful graphics! Great work for 6 hours.

markusfisch29 Apr 2014, 18:14

For only 6 hours the graphics and animations are really impressive. And although it's quite short, it made me smile.

Very well done!

Romko Pidstryhach30 Apr 2014, 00:35

Thrilling. One can find this experience a lot deeper than it was supposed to be. Noise concept reminds me of this short story:

feissauthor30 Apr 2014, 09:57

Thanks guys :)
Romko: amazing! Quite similar concept! :)

eLLectron30 Apr 2014, 15:33
