Digital H by wine

[raw]
made by wine for LD26 (JAM)
This is some kind of puzzle game. Hope, you like it.
To solve this game try to use your mouse with different ways
(but no pixel-hunting, indeed, only left and right mouse buttons).

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SOLUTION: slow down time to go into the darkness and click on the heart
Click by click you increase the heartbeat and see "Come Back"
Drag the mouse to the heart in white world - you will see
And then - stop until the end

Good but too short =(
And some strange graphical glitches appears... Maybe bug, or not, I dont know.

Incredibly good looking, I wonder how you achieved this effect.

Sorry, but I have no idea what to do. It is a bit harsh to just leave the player there without any hints or instructions. Perhaps give the player some hint to what to do after a minute or two?

Incredibly beautiful, although I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing haha. I played it for a good while though, just because the atmosphere was so nice.

thanks for your views!
I understand non-obviousness of first steps

So * You have only two buttons that you can hold or click. And only one object that can be pressed. If zero has changed - u on a right way )

Excellent! Enjoyed it a lot. I can't describe my emotions in words...

A weird, but interesting experience. Nice graphical effects and very emotional sounds. I'm unsure if I did get what you wanted to express, though.

I like the graphical style. Gameplay was confusing though.

One of my favourite LD26 games, so... mysterious. And I love the glitchy effects :D

I have no idea what just happened, but it was artsy and I love it!

That was interesting.. not wholly sure what I was doing but.. certainly interesting and worth 5 minutes.

I had no idea what I was doing (I knew to use both left and right mouse buttons) but either way it was VEEERY good!

It was hard to figure out how to get to the end, but I did eventually. I enjoyed how you could click during the credits to stop it.

Really interesting game. Was it a metaphor for someone dying and trying to be resuscitated? That's how I took it, like I was killing them.

Great sound and graphics glitch effects, very strange exploration. Good job (it's will be better for me with lmore game but, it's yet great)

I am glad to hear the opinions of all of you! And I feel like in one day has to continue the story ) Yes. Where will be more Game and new experience

Baffling but memorable. I just wish there was more to it than rapidly clicking - a concept this surreal should really have more to it.

Absolutely love it! Thanks for the "no pixel hunting" and letting us explore this game!

I really enjoyed this one. i found a graphical experience that i thought hard to find on games made in 2-3 days. I was captivated by the sounds and music. Though a side effect is probably the fact that the core game is a bit too short. Anyway i really like your work :D

Not sure what happened, but I'm in awe of the graphics, awesome stuff!

Looked and sounded great, but provided me with 0 feedback as to if I was getting anywhere. I don't want to be hand held, but I feel it needed to give me a little more reinforcement when I was getting somewhere.

Loved the effects, but was very hard to get somewhere with the game. Just a note: the game gets the wrong screen geometry. Judging by the screens above, it was don on a 4:3 screen, but it looks a bit strange on a wide (16:9) screen. Nice to have it working for Linux as well!

I'm not really sure what the meaning is, but I liked the mysterious ambience. I wonder if there's an ending..

Well it does look nice, but I had to look to the instructions to understand what to do and that kinda kills the fun and when I do follow it it dosn't make much sense (to me at least)

So weird ^^ Don't sure i really understood what to do and what happened. But the graphical and audio work is quite good. Congrats :)

Minimal graphics are done quite well but I can't say I really enjoyed this one. Maybe a little too tedious for me. :(

Welp, that was pretty weird. (In a good way.) Most mysterious thing I've seen all day.

Sort of like polygonal heart surgery. But the objective is to stop the heart?

Very abstract and emotionally full. I would be cool to read a story this way, solving puzzles. Sounds are great. Fits the theme really good.

Thanks for all yours positive impressions and criticism! it means alot to me
And here some answers

Story - for short in two words. The humblest man on earth in the street trying to find a contact with someone. But his heart is too weak and when it is closer to the people, in the eyes become cloudy and time is slow down. And the heart, too

Duration - I'm too much time lost in creating the right mood. I wanted to do more interaction and feedback to the player before he would have to stop the heart. So I am very pleased to hear about the graphics sounds and mood. And I understand complete validity of the criticism towards the gameplay and lack of clarity

Seeing the scattered shards around the hexagon interested me. If you continue to develop this: after that I was not sure how to proceed or what the user controls were.

Creative, visually intriguing and excellent sound design. Only downfall is its length because I wanted to play a lot more!

Haha, it does seem like we've given each other a taste of our own confusing medicine. Nice job in any case, you've got an awesome mood and great style!
