But I liked it a lot. The game is big, something that is missing in LD games, IMHO.

Something that promises exciting rewards are just around the bend. \r\rAfter a while, I just didn't feel like wandering anymore (and having to release the arrow key with every screen) and stopped playing. From the other comments, it seems that I sadly missed out on many more interesting gameplay mechanics. :("},{"author_name":"pjchardt","author_uid":"13158","time":"Sep 17, 2012 @ 3:16am","epoch":1347851460,"text":"Great music and mood."},{"author_name":"pardue","author_uid":"15733","time":"Sep 17, 2012 @ 3:39am","epoch":1347852840,"text":"The music is really good, the graphics are neat, I did play the non-buggy version as well.

The slope room (the one with the endless-S shape that is already on the far left screenshot) was a torture ;) I wish one wouldn't have to wait so long for something to happen. And given the travel-speed it's really merely waiting. Really a pity because I liked the graphics-style and the really good music a lot. I wish this was a more exiting experience :)"},{"author_name":"Ditto","author_uid":"14669","time":"Sep 17, 2012 @ 1:21pm","epoch":1347887760,"text":"This game gives a really good vibe, eventhough I would prefer if there was some more action : P Music is pretty epic!"},{"author_name":"JonathanG","author_uid":"11515","time":"Sep 17, 2012 @ 6:16pm","epoch":1347905460,"text":"The game has quite a SNES Zelda feel to it, even the music!

The overall experience was pretty slow and dull - lots of wandering around without much happening - so the quality of the audio (which is high for music but not so much for effects) doesn't really feel in-your-face the way it would if more was going on. The game is ambitious and looks good - just not that much happening to pump up the excitement, and the low audio rating is probably related to that."}],"images":["ld24\/8433-61b9de06cb8e55e7d35a370573b169cc.jpg","ld24\/8433-7af115d2c23838080a074ed926c9b5f9.jpg","ld24\/8433-3124e3c7e1e2abdacef36fceb618372f.jpg","ld24\/8433-5e253c1aa5cd8299a7839ec1b580687f.jpg","ld24\/8433-0bf9b8d7dd885a74e84a1ab6463108b1.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/artemis.wyrda.fr\/disease\/","text":"Web"},{"url":"http:\/\/artemis.wyrda.fr\/disease\/source.zip","text":"Source"},{"url":"http:\/\/artemis.wyrda.fr\/disease2\/","text":"Easy \/ Unbuggy version"},{"url":"http:\/\/artemis.wyrda.fr\/disease\/high.php","text":"High scores"},{"url":"http:\/\/youtu.be\/Ek2HxULAmHA","text":"Timelapse"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"29214","g_author":"8433","g_event":"LD24","g_eventkey":"12","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"29244","g_title":"Disease","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"701","g_commentcount":"20","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/8433-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/8433-shot1.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/8433-shot2.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/8433-shot3.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/8433-shot4.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"IMPORTANT : Easy version was added a few hours AFTER compo deadline.
