I love the graphics and the audio. A couple of times, I spent several minutes wandering through the maze only to run into some monster and die. It would be nice to have a life system, so that you don't have to start over if you accidentally hit a monster. I would have liked to finish the game, but I don't have the patience today. 4\/5 overall."},{"author_name":"ETHproductions","author_uid":"44122","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 8:55pm","epoch":1429649400,"text":"P.S.

You don't really explain much either, you just sort of put us out there, and it works. For what's it worth, this is one very atmospheric maze game, and I totally approve of it."},{"author_name":"LMT","author_uid":"25578","time":"May 6, 2015 @ 5:50pm","epoch":1430934300,"text":"Pretty cool game with ambient music and nice audio.

The audio is fantastic, that combined with the visuals and the little narrative in the beginning give a great atmospheric mood. I played this longer than most entries just for the feeling you get, even though the game play feels a bit aimless."},{"author_name":"deadbodyoutline","author_uid":"38495","time":"May 11, 2015 @ 1:32am","epoch":1431307620,"text":"Nice game you have here!

I really like how the little pixels stars move as you walk, and this game has a really great mood. Sometimes I found my self just aimlessly walking around, I think it'd be nice to have some more direction.

Lovely audio work, and a lot of death happening. Seeing the monster for the first time is pretty darn frightening. Would be nice if you had more control over where the fireflies flew, since they double as breadcrumbs reminding the player the path that they took. Still, nice experimental game you've got there."},{"author_name":"yuigoto","author_uid":"50909","time":"May 11, 2015 @ 3:20am","epoch":1431314100,"text":"Nice work with this game! The work done with graphics (nice use of a, somehow, "limited" color palette) is awesome!\r\rAlso loved the ambiance, sound fx and everything you did with the in-game audio!

That's hard to pull off but it worked very well.\r\rMy first encounter with a monster actually made me jump, so quality work there!\r\rI do wish there were a checkpoint system or a life system or something, though.

Love the sound, and the firefly idea. Would be good to have some sort of clue as to whether you're going the right way or not, maybe be able to run a bit faster than the monsters, there's a lot of re-exploring to do if you suddenly die.
