[This game was updated post-jam to fix a bug where on the final menu the cursor wouldn't show. It changed literally one line of code. The original is available still, the updated version has the "hotfix" suffix.]
A confusing game, but definitely intriguing, and one I plan on playing again! The message system is really cool, and doing online stuff in such a short amount off time is super neat :O
ok ok ok ... played this through twice and really love it. I mean, this has some great atmosphere and depth! There is a lot of really efficient use of the same models to give a great sense of a world and the screen effects and presentation really tie it together. I am very impressed with this and will remember it. Great work!
This first person with screenshakes is amazing, moving feels great, but I found weird the mechanics of following these "tron bits". Anyway, it looks really cool!
I was confused the first time, and I thought I had the answer the second time, but I still failed :) the atmosphere is really cool and really driven home the desperation!
The graphics, sound and mood are excellent. Really great effects. Confusing at first, but nice. You should probably tell that it has an online component (just in case it does not work for anyone without one)
Very intense. I love the visuals, how they flicker and blur. Music fits very well, and this game really gets the feeling of "running out of power" across. There seems to be some kind of a puzzle that you have to figure out, but I just walked off towards the horizon and didn't really get it. But overall, the game just looks, sounds and feels excellent.
Edit: Ah, should've probably read the description again before commenting, but yeah, what I thought were a very weird puzzle are probably the messages people are leaving. Well, someone might find my message somewhere in the vast unknown.
Shaky text will always be a winner for me. I loved the atmosphere and the how you felt like you were in trouble with the effects on the screen. Really great work. I'm going to have to play again later :)
Interesting concept but execution wasn’t that interesting or fun to play. This game needs some gameplay element added to it. I don’t think that reading other players randomly selected strings of words is that engaging. Music really makes the mood. Biggest complaint about the visuals I have is about that cathodic screen flicker effect, it hurts eyes with those bright colours.
Well that was an interesting experience. I had had no clue what I have to do. And I always read all the these messages. At the end the game shows me the plottwist of these strange messages. That surprised me reaelly. :) But I think the player should pick up some of these messages. Maybe not all but some of them and they will fill his energy a bit but never complete and than the player dies. And when more guys play your game than would be more in your game world because they died. And only a few player will get enough energie to win the game. In this way the plottwist would be much greater. Or can you pick up these things? When yes I have not figured out how. O.O Thanks for this game expirence. :D
Neat! These are really impressive graphics! I already gaped when I saw the menu! Nice, fitting music and the level looks fantastic! I wasn't sure what to do, the polyhedrons didn't seem to "do" anything. After I read in the comments that there were supposed to be messages, I studied them in more detail - that you have to look down at them isn't really obvious to me. I enjoyed playing/experiencing this! Maybe I would have liked some kind of goal. Controls felt perfect. Hats off for making this in a Ludum Dare!
