Minimalistic, challenging and mysterious 2D adventure of strange creature. Complete the game to reveal the truth...
*PLAESE DO NOT RATE UNTIL YOU FINISH IT* This game is really hard. If you can't complete it, check the walkthrough video to figure out what this game about.
*SIMPLIFIED VERSION* Since a lot of people said that game is too difficult, I added the simplified version. Even my wife managed to complete it :) I STRONGLY RECOMMEND you to try simplified version first!
*CONTROLS* WASD or arrow keys - move character. Other controls explained later in game.
Insanely hard! Reminds me of Thomas Was Alone and VVVVVV. Honestly man, keep working on this one. I had a blast with the first three levels but didn't have time to keep playing. :)
RegularSlinky, thanks for the kind words! Yeah, it seems that level 3 appears to be the most confusing, so I would recommend to check walkthrough video to save some time on it.
For how long those levels are, going back to the start one one hit is pretty brutal. I was confused on level 3, so I tried a bunch of different stuff, and after watching the video, I just didn't have the patience to go through it that many times again.
Nice little game.I had to look in the video tutorial, because I was flying around in the level with the light and didn't know what to do. Maybe an explanation would help at this point. The rest was great and fun. Thank you.
Had to use a walkthrough for the part with red squares and light sphere (took a bit too many "bounces" in my opinion). Other than that it was a solid, challenging game.
I played the simplified version till the end, and also tried the hardcore one. I liked the idea, although I guessed what this game is about when I reached third level.
Hippolyta, thanks! MyougaHiroshi, haha, great! kdunee, yeah, this level the most confusing, so I managed to add tutorial and reduce number of checkpoints in simplified version. Aglavra, nice :) mrexcessive, yeah, I belive that this commets really contribute to the story and the mood of the game. Thank you all! I really appreciate it!
SPOILERS I liked the mechanics a lot. You really got a lot of mileage of out them. I can't see however how they have to do with growing inside your mother's womb. Could you explain?
I thought that I bounced off that white circle (the light). Very hard without any other preferences. When the "easy" version told me to follow the light I did not understand what the light was. Finally gave up and watched the video. You set a really good mood, and agree with the commenter that this simplistic graphical style gives some Thomas Was Alone-vibes (which is good)
Death, after death, after death I beat the hardcore version, somehow with my hair intact. Really loved the atmosphere here and the difficulty was a pleasant surprise because most LD games are either way to easy or stupidly hard. Only complaint was that level 3 had a really unclear goal without looking at a guide (which I didn't) but after guessing what the game's name meant I figured it out.
@hezagore, haha, why so serious?(c) Actually, my wife was a "difficulty check" for this version, so it's really version "for girls"))) Anyway, don't get it serious)
I thought the game was about a sperm and egg but then the white circle ended up not being the egg. Who knew there were so many lasers and dangers inside the body?
Amazing work but the levels in the hardcore version are way too long for me to have enough patience to go back and fourth and die when i get the second food( :( ) I would recommend adding some kind of checkpoint for long levels like the fifth one. Also in the fifth level where you get the pixel to the left ,there were times where i went too much to the left and got stuck in the wall resulting in that i couldn't move up so i died from the red rectangle which moves up and down. But i will come back and try again. Overall a fun and interesting experience well done!
Nice idea, nice interpretation of the theme. I played the simplified version and got to level 5 of the original version, and I was convinced I was a creature in some sort of lab. :P
I thought the harder version was more fun because of the challenge of each individual obstacle, but didn't like that there were no checkpoints/the long levels.
The laser section was tedious because of the throw distance of the block. Instead just drop it? I liked the coloration change between picked up and dropped.
Amazing game. Gameplay was very smooth. I had to switch to the simplified version to actually beat it. Glad I did, the story behind it all was very good. :)
Wonderful game. Especially regarding the limited time. I really like thearcade elements and they're nicely intertwined with the story. Really beautiful.
It was interesting to play. Seems like there is a lot of room for development from your core mechanics. Blends exploration with tough, skill based gameplay really well.
That was a very enjoyable entry. Something about the way the light moves made it feel like the character bounced off it. I suppose it'd the lack of anything else around it to ground your location. The laser mechanics were fun and the final level was pretty intense!
I had no idea I had to do so much to get born! My parents didn't give me enough credit. An elegant design, with appealing visuals! Great work for two days!
Lovely mood and the controls were tight, camera jitter was a little annoying (probably a frame behind, use LateUpdate() for your camera), overall excellent entry!
Nice Game! Graphics and audio are simple yet very effective. Could have gone with the Global Game Jam 2013 though (heartbeat). Very challenging, but not unfair and I kind of like hard games. Very impressive job!
I kept thinking this is one of those games where they trick you into playing a maze game and then scare you! hahaha Nice execution and style! The first few levels can get a bit boring, though.
Fantastic twist at the end to bring all things into context! The drift in the mechanics added just enough subtle complexity to really set this apart as a puzzle game. Definitely difficult but you clearly have addressed this already. Really wonderful job!
I really enjoyed this game having actually got to the end. Still a little baffled on the lasers. I feel like the mid levels were a bit overtuned and long, but you said you fixed that. Still, I think it ramped overall pretty well, and the ending was super great. Nice job.

Jupitron, follow the hotspot
It would be nice if there were checkpoints in the levels.
Since this game appeared to a bit hardcore I added walkthrough video for those who can't complete the game - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsDNMcukSpg
The stages are way too long, either split them or add checkpoints.
Time to play through a level is a little long.
MyougaHiroshi, haha, great!

Aglavra, nice :)

Very well done.
I don't even have any critiques. Yes, it's hard, but in the right way. There's a good feeling of accomplishment after finally clearing a tough stage.

+1 to have finish yourself a really hard game(some people can't finish their own game! ;) )
The level design and mechanisme became more interesting (and so hard!) in the last levels/
Everything is well polished, design, movement, control, even the particles. As is said too hard for me, but a good game.
There is nothing stronger than the bond between a woman and child ... except that between gamer and keyboard!
Damn difficult!

Very challenging, but not unfair and I kind of like hard games. Very impressive job!
Nice execution and style! The first few levels can get a bit boring, though.
Simple, but interesting gameplay, and plot is very intriguing.
And the plot-twist in the end really amazing!
I have only one complain: checkpoints please!
