Great. I've always wanted to play as a... nose?

I really love how minimalistic (my high school mind can't spell) and simple it is, yet interestingly challenging!

I love the idea to exchange senses for each other in order to proceed (in this case it's even a virtual sense) and this is a very minimalistic well done example for it.

Very good concept. Also love those little graphics.

Interesting... but needs sound! :)

Aha, it took me a while to see what following my nose meant.
After a while my triangle disappeared as well and playing became impossible for me.
I agree that sound would have been nice.

Nice site also, where I can see the code.

The most compelling game I've played so far in this LD (admittedly, I haven't played all of them yet, but I suspect this isn't going to change soon). I agree with TheColorMan: it's minimalistic, yet challenging and fun.

My only complaint is that some sound would be great for providing even more ambience. Still, what we've got is so good, I'm not going to complain about what we didn't get.

Hey, thanks for the kind words. I agree; audio would make it a whole lot better. Time limitations got the better of me this time unfortunately, but I will certainly look into building upon this concept.

@ goerp: The code is right there on the same page. Just click on it to bring it into focus. I apologize in advance for the mess; this was hacked together rapidly.
