The Blues by jrbitt

[raw]
made by jrbitt for LD31 (JAM)
Can you find the exit of the Garden? It's hard you can try, try many times. Do you have hope? Where is the exit? There are an exit?

Update 1: 12/10
- Now walls aren't created under player
- Resolved sound problem in HTML5. Now you have full experience in browser too!

Known bugs:
- In movement (tile by tile);
- I know that player is very ungly :-D
- In HTML5 required WebGL.

Never found the exit, but I liked how it got really creepy if you were in there for a long time.

Nice job. This was a lot more fun than I was expecting. Wasn't ready for the graphics change either haha.

Nice game. I like the psychological thought behind the game. Is there a door, is there no door, do I think there is no door because I want to protect myself from selfdoubts...

This is a neat idea. I think it would be nice to have a visual warning that the walls were going to change soon.

I played once until the fadeout, didn't found the exit, haha... Or maybe, "that" (the fadeout, game over, "death") is the only exit? A clever game!

Interesting concept. I like the seasons and the slow fade out.

This game is interesting but their is little motivation to beat a game that is random and hard to see, The textures were nice and I think it was a creative game, but maybe the background could have a more predictable pattern. other then that its a neat game :)

I like the part where you find the exit then fight the dragon. jk, i succumbed to seasonal affective disorder. very nice experience that game.

I can't find the exit too, and I get trapped sometimes by the walls so it made me wait before I can look around for the exit. Guess it's really around there somewhere to find with a limited light.

The game is nice though, good execution. I like the retro style of the game.

I guess there is no exit :). The music and the mood are really great.

Wow, this was really cool. I felt like the music synced up perfectly, and realizing the walls were moving was a nice "Oh shit" moment. good job on this :)

Never find the exit. I'm getting nervous, maybe the scenario should change less.

Cool game with a lot of thought appears to been put in the seasonal effects on the garden! Would've loved if something more did happen? Merry Christmas!
