It's your first contribution for LD. Bravo. But it seems to me you don't know the rules - my friend. If you share a "48 Hour Compo Entry" you MUST share the sources too. See the rules. It's not a criticisme - I like your game, but rules work for all of us ++
pretty nice imitation of antichamber. Is there more after the eye, though? like, I looked at it, then the passage opens behind me; i go in the passage and go around and end up at the eye again. I tried going counterclockwise and clockwise and still end up in the same spot.
Possibly there is some sort of glitch in the web version, after the 'COME BACK' part when falling down the pit my screen tinted and the game was stuck. I enjoyed it while it lasted though, I really liked Antichamber and this is a nice tribute
I haven't played Antichamber before, so I found this challenging and fun. It's a very cool concept. This does look quite similar to Antichamber though (and the name confirms that), would be even better if you added your own flavour to it :)
Trippy game. I enjoyed the non euclidean (is that the word?) gameplay. Confused me several times and I'm not sure if it was because I was doing it wrong or whether it was bugging out. Good game, would go well with some music and more content. Congratulations on it being you're first LD entry, mine was so much worse than this. Nice one!
I adore antichamber and have played through it all. You did a really good job in capturing the fun from antichamber and putting a new touch. Well done implementing this, from a technical point of view, very non-trivial I would say.
Yes, I found the exit! The eye really had me for a long time, and to anyone how couldn't get past, my hint is to really consider what the sign on the wall says before rushing around. The other puzzles were clever and took some tries but I had them easier since I played antichamber a lot.
Graphics like antichamber. Some doors popping visible when in the view, but I can bear with you - even the original anti chamber sometimes had these problems.
Audio did it's job in a simplistic way. Kind of bad looping, but still good.
Theme connection was a bit weak, although you have the connections between "chambers" I wouldn't really call them worlds.
Overall, most fun game I played so far, and I really hope you will find the passion to develop more puzzles for this.
@TheExGenesis I also thought the euclidian room was overused, until I realized it's because I'm running around in circles. The comeback puzzle is different.
@komjaur I would really support you if you would extend this with more types of puzzles. If you can think of puzzles which are different from antichamber but still keeps the same feeling, it would be a great way of making this game more unique. That would be legendary!
... Kind of just makes me want to go play antichamber. It is impressive you managed to do all the things they did though, I still have no idea how that works!
Nice ! remember me a lot a friend game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G08WP2EUvU0 with some difference in the universe / mecanic and more step by step instruction, i love it :)
The Mouse won't stay in the game window ... made it horrible to play. Even on fullscreen I was fucked by my dual monitor setup.
The game pretty much looks like AntiChamber but I don't think it feels like AntiChamber. Maybe I was too stupid to progress but I always ended up in similar rooms with different colors and went then back the the eye. Turning around just cought me in an infinite loop.
I wasn't able to finish and after like 8 colors I stopped, because of the mouse cursor issue. Looks fine but isn't really innovative, since it's an attempt to rebuild another game (on a smaller scale).
I ended up doing a lot of loops before I stopped. Really cool stuff, although the part with having to stare at the eye gets a bit annoying. Haven't played Antichamber, but having seen screens of it you seem to have gotten the name right for this game ;-)
Seconding the problem with cursor not locking in the game screen in the webplayer.
Controls were clunky and slow. Puzzles were basically ripped straight from Antichamber. There was a washing machine going in the background the whole time, for... some reason.
"Like Antchamber", but less charming, less clever, less mind-bending, and less original.
Great copy of a game that i loved there is still some visual bug, but the transition are mostly perfect. It's not original but your level could be passed like that inside AntiChamber.
Definitely seems like a less polished version of antichamber at first, but seemed to get repetitive with no guidance on how to solve a few things. Not bad for 48 hours though.
Well yeah - i like antichamber a lot myself - however i'd wish for a bit more diversity to the original. It feels more like a my bestof of antichamber. However - nice take on the theme in any way. And it IS pretty true to the original. :)
I didn't get through to the end, but I did get through a lot of different colored hallways. I like the idea, it was a bit repetitive though (But I might have been doing something wrong) - I loved the background sound it added a nice feel to the game.
Nice game, but should it be possible to walk trough the wall in front of the eye? Because if you look straight at the eye and keep walking backwards you will glitch trough the wall
Interseting concept, but I don't think I really "got" it. I kept getting stuck in the blue room and got back to the white eye all the time. Nice work on the mood though, quite creepy!
I don't understand the "come back" part... haha I got caught up in the loop. W seems buggy because after I go through the eye a few times I automatically go forward even when I'm not pressing W.
Reminds me a lot of antichamber - but I feel the eye puzzle was a bit more confusing than it should have been. Nice work though - would have been great to see the game become a bit longer!
Very cool, I got to the ending, how? I was playing while chatting on facebook, one time I changed tabs and I moved the camera randomly, when I came back I was looking at sign I've never seen before, the rest was easy.
I tried it a second time and managed to understand what I was supposed to do, but if it wasn't for chance, i'd still be running in loops right now.
I have played Antichamber before until its end and this game really remind me of the experience. Very well done, I am really interested in knowing how you achieved it. Maybe try to lower the amount of time it takes for the eye thing, you know ;) but very well done! amazing considering that was your first entry ever!!
It was interesting, but yes, very similar to antichamber. I have a couple of notes: sometimes the trick you're using to reveal the exist is very noticable (I'm pretty sure in antichamber they actually use world portals to the different areas); and I still didn't figure out what the meaning of the eye puzzle was, but just by looking back and forth I got it to work.
I found the end! If I didn't see the comments here first though, I'd have assumed I'd seen all there was too see. Pretty cool puzzle game! Unfortunately I don't know how much of it was original and how much was inspired by Antichamber because I've never played it.
Staring at that eye sucked a lot of the fun out.
I believe you could fix some of the graphical glitches by moving vertices of walls instead of changing the visibility of wall sections. Still, it was cool to see that you made Unity behave as if it was non-Euclidean! Kudos!
I'm posting a comment, because the game told me to.
It really is a lot like antichamber, that is good, because antichamber is good, but it is also bad, because it doesn't feel original. Still, judged on its own merit it isn't bad.
The ambient music is not really fitting, but it also doesn't distract too much so it's okay.
Walking backwards helped a lot with most of the puzzles (and I think caused some glitches).
It's always interesting to explore a non-euclidean labyrinth. The Antichamber vibe is very obvious, but I'm not sure what triggers the eye here, I just kept pushing the wall with my back until it allowed me to pass through.
Little secrets: *eye is not like it was in antichamber.If u look it 5 second then loop room door opens and if u look it 10 second then other door opens. * Don't go to colored rooms
Nice game! You can clearly see where you took the idea from. Also there where a few graphical bugs. I found the eye thing to be breaking the pace a lot (Half of the time would have been enough. Btw I got to the ending.
While the game is a bit confusing it is actually very fun and has some great uses of the first person camera angle. A very enjoyable game through and through

I dont see how someone would pass the eye part without having played antichamber since there's no animation on it.
Also, I suggest you try and give a better name to your game next Ludum Dare.
Good job again on your first LD!
I'll play it later.
I would it if it's alittle bit more sensitive to the mouse it get's messy with me sometimes :D

Got to the end : )
Found the end and enjoyed exploring. Short but satisfying.

Nice recreation of antichamber!

Thanks for the hint! ;)
I got to the ending. Pretty nice game, really captures the ambiance of the original Antichamber. Breaking out of the "Unity look" is always great.
But damn it, that last comment was supposed to be a hint to make a Linux build.
if anyone can confirm if they work please comment.
