Less is more by McBeef

made by McBeef for LD26 (COMPO)

A game about simplicity.
I tried going for an artsy thing, but even that went away when I had to start cutting corners.
Anyway, I believe it still transmits it's message. Remember that less is more, and stick to the essential.

Took me a while to realize what I was supposed to be doing haha. Nicely done.

At first it was just pretty good for a laugh--guy walks around eating stuff while pretentious quotes play in the background. I found the bad ending and thought that was pretty interesting--trying to figure out how to make the world keep on decomposing. Getting the bad ending was my favorite part. But I couldn't figure out how to get the good ending quickly enough--just stay in the middle? I gave up. But fun and interesting.

Interesting take on the theme. The graphical deterioration gets the message across pretty well. A little music would've helped knock a few more stars out of me, particularly in the Mood category :)

Nice message. Got the bad ending first, then it clicked, and I got the good ending.

I liked the idea, maybe you could have made the good ending more difficult. Good job though.
