Very funny and entertaining. I was really compelled to play the game after it. The game itself I did not find to be that enjoyable, but I thought the mechanic was a really cool idea, and given more time I'm sure you could have done some awesome stuff with it. Unfortunately, I got caught inside the objects a number of times."},{"author_name":"WesleyJohnson","author_uid":"27806","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 3:25am","epoch":1408936800,"text":"I got pretty far and then I ran into "d:draw" written out on the screen and the graphics started to blur\/repeat as if the screen buffer wasn't getting reset or something?

Encouraging full screen helped a lot in this regard, I think. The graphics were also really cool, but the gameplay was a bit confusing. Once I figured out what to do, it was fun, although a bit clunky at times. Overall, good job!"},{"author_name":"kenrickrilee","author_uid":"42087","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 4:06am","epoch":1408939260,"text":"Such an awesome intro :D"},{"author_name":"gillenew","author_uid":"40452","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 4:06am","epoch":1408939260,"text":"I don't quite understand the story"},{"author_name":"korigame","author_uid":"40504","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 4:09am","epoch":1408939440,"text":"Pretty awesome intro :D"},{"author_name":"bvanschooten","author_uid":"14520","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 2:23pm","epoch":1408976280,"text":"The intro is interesting enough, but what is the goal of the game?"},{"author_name":"jesseleavethisplace","author_uid":"40660","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 5:48pm","epoch":1408988580,"text":"It doesn't have a goal bvanschooten."},{"author_name":"vandriver","author_uid":"4241","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 10:51pm","epoch":1409006760,"text":"solid intro, the game could use an escape mechanism like teleporting to the middle and some baddies to dodge"},{"author_name":"gnx","author_uid":"8333","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 11:11pm","epoch":1409007960,"text":"Lovely intro with nice pacing and humour.

The concept was great! The mechanic idea was great but once you realise that nothing happens and you have experienced all that it is going to offer, there is no incentive to keep playing.\r\rI am not saying that is a bad thing though. I am glad I played.\r\rI think the mechanic could be expanded upon to make some kind of VVVVVV style thing. And if you could represent the bounds of gravity with sound and visuals it would be really interesting what kind of puzzles you could design around that."},{"author_name":"tanjent","author_uid":"36394","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 8:53pm","epoch":1409086080,"text":"Like the book, the introduction was better :) I think the graphic style of the intro should also have been used in the game because it's a really big contrast, in style (and in scale) right now!"},{"author_name":"Clyde","author_uid":"4196","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 4:40am","epoch":1409114100,"text":"Liked the interpretation of the theme and LOVED the dramatic intro.
