Maybe a short intro story or a character who you can relate to or something. Otherwise it feels like doing lots of random tasks for no reason."},{"author_name":"johannhat","author_uid":"3014","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 3:50am","epoch":1335498300,"text":"I really dug the Alice in Wonderland feel I got from this!

It needs way more than just 3D hidden object puzzles, though, and would greatly benefit from some ambient sound\/music and even some basic sound effects. Not bad for a weekend's worth of work, and looks like it could turn into a nice adventure game with a bit more work!"},{"author_name":"Jedi","author_uid":"4799","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 4:48am","epoch":1335501780,"text":"I like it. I also liked Alice in Wonderland-ieness :). I had to restart the last level and when I found the key, I could swear I'd looked there before, even as a big person. Is the key placed semi-randomly?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Some audio would have really helped the overall appeal and mood of the game but this is a very complete puzzle entry and I enjoyed it :)."},{"author_name":"R3ason","author_uid":"6105","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 5:34am","epoch":1335504540,"text":"Ooh, I like the mechanics, and the puzzles! I think if you developed the story a bit more, it'd be awesome!  The last level reminded me of Portal, when you go behind the scenes \/ break out of the test chambers...is that what you were going for? Thanks for making this!"},{"author_name":"racarate","author_uid":"10426","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 5:35am","epoch":1335504600,"text":"Escaped from the magic house...  The environments were humorous and somewhat horrifying, imagning what kind of life was led in that house.  For such a linear game though, I think it ends up relying a lot on atmosphere.  I think graphically it hit that note at points (especially in the Dali-esque final scene) but without music or sound it is really hard for me to fill in the blanks.  Overall, a competent micro-fetch quest but I would have loved a little more mood."},{"author_name":"johnfn","author_uid":"3187","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 5:46am","epoch":1335505260,"text":"Hmm, nice game.

I'm so relieved that you guys like the game play and graphic. And I absolutely agree with all of you that this game needs sound. The thing is I ran out of time to add it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@otaviogood, yeah but I added a quick intro to the description so players can get the idea.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Jedi, the key isn't placed randomly at all. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>@r3ason, actually I just wanted a new scene to the last level. And I'm not aiming for the Portal style at all.

I found the mouse sensitivity a bit odd and the movement a little slow but it was really cool to see a first person game done in the time limit! I think the puzzles could also be a bit more thought out. Most of the concent at the moment seems like it is just trying to find hidden objects and reading the text that pops up.
