The Cloak-ed Man

Innovation★★★★★★★★★★2.40
Coolness★★★★★★★★★★30%
The world is a line, of which goes on forever.
One man, one cloaked man, in fact, goes down this world, searching for an end. He is sure there is an end. There's an end to everything, after all.
This man has walked the road forever plus one. He believes he has but an infinite amount of time left to get through.
The man can't jump. Or crouch. He can only move left and right. And become a ghoast.
Is there an end?
Why can the man become a ghoast?
What is at the end of the world?
All of this, and more, will be explained in The Cloak-ed Man.

Out now.

Controls:

Please don't make us download installers.

I must admit: it was the only way I could think of allowing people to download my game. The was the first time I was at all trying this competition, and I didn't really understand how the whole downloading thing worked. I'm sorry if the way you download the game didn't attract you.

I think there's a bug...? Or maybe I don't know how to play the game... There are two of me, and one's upside down? And I can't get out of the box... And I can move up and down but that doesn't seem to be a control you explained. So I don't really know what to do.

It is an interesting concept, to walk forever. I do like the shifting to the small shape, to allow you more movement. This game feels like a hint into the afterlife. I did get stuck at a point, I could not move past the wall, and shifting small I moved behind it, and got stuck there. Still a nice attempt :)

I wasn't quite sure what to do, or what was happening.

Either this doesn't make any sense or it is severely broken. I really liked the music and the look of the graphics, but there's making an arty game and then there is making something that gives every impression of not working. I was really curious what this was and I really am completely non-plussed.

Definitely confused as to what/how I should be doing. I can shift into the ghost and move above the screen, then move right for a long time....nothing else?

Music sounded nicely eerie to fit the style of the game.

I don't get it. I can't move past the first wall, and if I press space while pressing left it seems to glitch out and move the camera right so that the character is out of view.

I can understand confusion with how playing the game works. I'll eventually get on to making a better version of the game. For now, I can only say this: I'm working on a gameplay video. In the meantime, enjoy trying to beat the frustrating game I tiredly made for little reason whatsoever. I do enjoy what you fine folks say, and I really do enjoy any feedback you give me.
Thank you.

I'm afraid I don't really get what's going on here. Maybe it was glitched, or maybe it's just me. It's got a nice atmosphere though.
