It's your first contribution for LD. Bravo. But it seems to me you don't know the rules - my friend. If you share a "48 Hour Compo Entry" you MUST share the sources too. See the rules. It's not a criticisme - I like your game, but rules work for all of us ++

pretty nice imitation of antichamber.
Is there more after the eye, though? like, I looked at it, then the passage opens behind me; i go in the passage and go around and end up at the eye again. I tried going counterclockwise and clockwise and still end up in the same spot.

Got to the colored hallways - very nice use of Antichamber style logic, if a bit repetitive

Pretty good replication of some of the mecanics.

I dont see how someone would pass the eye part without having played antichamber since there's no animation on it.

Also, I suggest you try and give a better name to your game next Ludum Dare.

Good job again on your first LD!

Possibly there is some sort of glitch in the web version, after the 'COME BACK' part when falling down the pit my screen tinted and the game was stuck. I enjoyed it while it lasted though, I really liked Antichamber and this is a nice tribute

I haven't played Antichamber before, so I found this challenging and fun. It's a very cool concept. This does look quite similar to Antichamber though (and the name confirms that), would be even better if you added your own flavour to it :)

Trippy game. I enjoyed the non euclidean (is that the word?) gameplay. Confused me several times and I'm not sure if it was because I was doing it wrong or whether it was bugging out. Good game, would go well with some music and more content. Congratulations on it being you're first LD entry, mine was so much worse than this. Nice one!

I can't get past the "come back", but the non euclidian room with the pillar in the middle is overused, I found it kinda repetitive

I adore antichamber and have played through it all. You did a really good job in capturing the fun from antichamber and putting a new touch. Well done implementing this, from a technical point of view, very non-trivial I would say.

Yes, I found the exit! The eye really had me for a long time, and to anyone how couldn't get past, my hint is to really consider what the sign on the wall says before rushing around. The other puzzles were clever and took some tries but I had them easier since I played antichamber a lot.

Graphics like antichamber. Some doors popping visible when in the view, but I can bear with you - even the original anti chamber sometimes had these problems.

Audio did it's job in a simplistic way. Kind of bad looping, but still good.

Theme connection was a bit weak, although you have the connections between "chambers" I wouldn't really call them worlds.

Overall, most fun game I played so far, and I really hope you will find the passion to develop more puzzles for this.
Robinerd
25. Aug 2014 路 15:14 UTC
@TheExGenesis I also thought the euclidian room was overused, until I realized it's because I'm running around in circles. The comeback puzzle is different.

@komjaur I would really support you if you would extend this with more types of puzzles. If you can think of puzzles which are different from antichamber but still keeps the same feeling, it would be a great way of making this game more unique. That would be legendary!

The Mouse won't stay in the game window ... made it horrible to play. Even on fullscreen I was fucked by my dual monitor setup.

The game pretty much looks like AntiChamber but I don't think it feels like AntiChamber. Maybe I was too stupid to progress but I always ended up in similar rooms with different colors and went then back the the eye. Turning around just cought me in an infinite loop.

I wasn't able to finish and after like 8 colors I stopped, because of the mouse cursor issue. Looks fine but isn't really innovative, since it's an attempt to rebuild another game (on a smaller scale).

I ended up doing a lot of loops before I stopped. Really cool stuff, although the part with having to stare at the eye gets a bit annoying. Haven't played Antichamber, but having seen screens of it you seem to have gotten the name right for this game ;-)

Seconding the problem with cursor not locking in the game screen in the webplayer.

Controls were clunky and slow. Puzzles were basically ripped straight from Antichamber. There was a washing machine going in the background the whole time, for... some reason.

"Like Antchamber", but less charming, less clever, less mind-bending, and less original.

Great copy of a game that i loved there is still some visual bug, but the transition are mostly perfect. It's not original but your level could be passed like that inside AntiChamber.

Thanks for the hint! ;)

Very cool, I got to the ending, how? I was playing while chatting on facebook, one time I changed tabs and I moved the camera randomly, when I came back I was looking at sign I've never seen before, the rest was easy.

I tried it a second time and managed to understand what I was supposed to do, but if it wasn't for chance, i'd still be running in loops right now.

It was interesting, but yes, very similar to antichamber. I have a couple of notes: sometimes the trick you're using to reveal the exist is very noticable (I'm pretty sure in antichamber they actually use world portals to the different areas); and I still didn't figure out what the meaning of the eye puzzle was, but just by looking back and forth I got it to work.

I found the end! If I didn't see the comments here first though, I'd have assumed I'd seen all there was too see. Pretty cool puzzle game! Unfortunately I don't know how much of it was original and how much was inspired by Antichamber because I've never played it.

Staring at that eye sucked a lot of the fun out.

I believe you could fix some of the graphical glitches by moving vertices of walls instead of changing the visibility of wall sections. Still, it was cool to see that you made Unity behave as if it was non-Euclidean! Kudos!

I'm posting a comment, because the game told me to.

It really is a lot like antichamber, that is good, because antichamber is good, but it is also bad, because it doesn't feel original. Still, judged on its own merit it isn't bad.

The ambient music is not really fitting, but it also doesn't distract too much so it's okay.

Walking backwards helped a lot with most of the puzzles (and I think caused some glitches).

It's always interesting to explore a non-euclidean labyrinth. The Antichamber vibe is very obvious, but I'm not sure what triggers the eye here, I just kept pushing the wall with my back until it allowed me to pass through.
