I enjoyed the labyrinth kind of game play and actually found myself hooked enough to finish this game, something that rarely happens in these circles. The only drawbacks being the somewhat monotone music and the lack of more levels ;)"},{"author_name":"jeffz","author_uid":"4842","time":"Dec 23, 2011 @ 3:39am","epoch":1324611240,"text":"bit of a strain on my eyes to play, otherwise quite inventive!"},{"author_name":"dr_soda","author_uid":"8342","time":"Dec 27, 2011 @ 2:13am","epoch":1324951680,"text":"Your spinning the world mechanic fits nicely with the lovecraftian theme you have for the game.  I am particularly impressed with the quality of the music track, but I feel like something without vocals and without an identifiable rhythm or harmony might have better served the setting... maybe something with shifting time signatures?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I did not finish either, but I did quite enjoy the game regardless."},{"author_name":"kumber","author_uid":"5103","time":"Dec 27, 2011 @ 4:03pm","epoch":1325001480,"text":"of all the games I have played so far, yours is the first that made \u200b\u200bme want to play again until the end. That is: yesterday I played some levels, got stuck, and closed. And today I found myself thinking how to get past that though level, so reopened and finished. Well done!"},{"author_name":"summaky","author_uid":"1885","time":"Dec 27, 2011 @ 8:33pm","epoch":1325017680,"text":"All I see on my computer is a grey window and I can barely see something behind which resembles a laberinth or something, but I can't see where I can go.

I wanted to have different songs for levels, but I couldn't make it on time ;) It's great to know that you finish it. Thank you\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@jeffz thank you.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@dr_soda yeah... I added the vocals at the end, because it sounded a little empty... but it's a great idea the time shifting. Thank you.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@kumber thank you, yours is the best comment a game designer\/programmer can receive\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@summaky.. yes, after releasing it and tried in a different computer it seems to be too grey for playing in some monitores\/computers... thank you"},{"author_name":"AyCe","author_uid":"3852","time":"Jan 5, 2012 @ 1:17pm","epoch":1325769120,"text":"Good game!

I just don't think it's that fun, sorry.

However it is frustrating at times, because it is extremely hard to see everything and because I could not really figure out how and when the boulders move, which stopped me in the fourth level or so.

It was basically Sokoban with a weird sort of gravity movement that often caused me to overshoot hallways and the like and kept me from doing what I actually wanted to.
