The graphics are gorgeous and the atmosphere is captivating. It's definitely not a conventional game but a fun game to toy with. The physics is a bit glitchy and I have not figured out how to change the direction I'm looking to, if there is any way to do so. I would love to see this extended into a game when spreading this moss becomes a mechanic!"},{"author_name":"Ilseroth","author_uid":"50718","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 10:44pm","epoch":1429569540,"text":"As soon as I boot it up I get hit with a massive development window. The game looks great but and the mood is solid, though my laptop is getting a rubbish framerate on it."},{"author_name":"uvwar","author_uid":"40468","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 11:34pm","epoch":1429572540,"text":"yeah I dont know what the dev window showing up is about either. Happens to me every time in Web mode, but not for other people. You can try downloading the .exe .apps and crank the graphics really low for a better framerate(and no dev console)"},{"author_name":"pLaw","author_uid":"29748","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 11:40pm","epoch":1429572900,"text":"Nice graphics and mood.

It's a nice moody title, great to play on a rainy day, which in my case it is. Maybe I just didn't play around with it long enough, but it would be cool if there were more little secrets and interesting structures to, er, moss up. The depth blur was nice. I agree with @stevenlr that being able to change camera direction would be nice.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Great work!"},{"author_name":"qapn","author_uid":"17409","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 2:47am","epoch":1429584120,"text":"As others have said, it's very peaceful and the perfect sort of &quot;game&quot; for a rainy day (it's pissing down here in Sydney). Gameplay wise there's not much going on, and the controls feel cumbersome, but it's really good looking. Your choice of post-processing effects etc are on point."},{"author_name":"jackyjjc","author_uid":"21428","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 12:24pm","epoch":1429618740,"text":"It is a fun concept, nice to see an original entry, good work!"},{"author_name":"Ptolo","author_uid":"35280","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 1:23pm","epoch":1429622280,"text":"Very relaxing game, the graphics and particle effects were very impressive.

The moss shader stuff was balling out of control.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>This would have been way way better with a working camera, and would have been over the top good with another mechanic or two - it wouldn't have to be combat or something else gamey, but something more to do would really incentivize more game play.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Awesome work!"},{"author_name":"Archonthewizard","author_uid":"52352","time":"Apr 25, 2015 @ 12:52am","epoch":1429922820,"text":"Really cool looking game.
