Neat little story, but the lack of the "ready?" prompt miffed me a little when the "largest possible rock you can imagine" was requested. The biggest issue this game... assuming we can call it that, as that is a debate for another place and time, has, is that it's fully silent. Audio such as pencil-scribbling sounds whilst drawing, and perhaps having the late Christopher Lee narrate it would've been ideal. :)

I liked it. Great experience. Thanks

@lumos thanks for the feedback!

when you say about «lack of the “ready?” on the largest rock possible» — you mean a bug or that you wanted to draw nothing from the first attempt?

yea, i really wanted to do a sound design this time and even got everything setup for that. but the lack of time... you know the feeling.

Beautiful and poetic, like @lumos I just have a little regret, the lack of music or sound design.
And I also wanted to draw nothing the first time teacher asked for the largest rock possible, because the outcome was a kind of predictable.

But I repeat, I really appreciated this game, especially the scene with all the thoughs floating in the air.

I couldn't make a bigger rock. Got stuck :( Interesting idea!

hey @twinturbodouche

sorry to hear, you missed the half of the game :(

this is the the tip: the biggest rock is so big, that you can't place it on the sheet (=nothing) :)

The game left me feeling like


In addition, I will simply repeat the previous comments and say that this "game" deserves sound design. Your application was really pleasant to look at and painting is always fun.

wait. what was that? you cant't end a game like that. what's the point of the game? the game is so short? what the?

Actually that was quite unpredictable and fun

Very poetic and polished! I loved it! A shame it wasn't longer and didn't have music/sound design but there's so much you can do in 48h

Wow i really liked the drawing aspect even though i had the feeling it ment nothing what i drew it was a really nice experience

Tiny miracle... Good mind discharge after two days of hard work. Thanks.

A good story. I'm really impressed and inspired by the scene where clickable sentences pop up.

Well, that was nice and appeasing :) Everyone already said it, and you already know it, but sound would have been sooo cool!

(Btw, I ended up liking the outro as well, but it would also have been fine without it ^^)

Congrats on the entry .... I couldn't quite get past the bigger bigger bigger stone ... maybe I'm stupid :rofl:

:purple_heart: :dart: :frog:

Haha I liked it, simply put: I liked it x)
Great story, agree with the most about sound being an awesome thing in this game.
Overall good job!:)

@purpledartfrog

hi there! :)

to pass the biggest rock you should imagine the rock that's so big, you can’t place it on the sheet (=nothing) :)

@slovnoslomo Thanks - but actually tried that :wink:

Love the end! Sound would have been awesome :)

Funny little story, missed sound and i felt sometime force to give th wrong answer (for the biggest rock), a bit poor on the interactive side, but nice time doing it.

@namnam "i felt sometime force to give th wrong answer (for the biggest rock)"

Not sure how you can say it's the "wrong answer", the whole point is that the biggest rock wouldn't be able to fit on a piece of paper.


Anyway, I really enjoyed this game. It has a different feeling than most jam games, and makes some simple yet profound observations. Great work!

@matt-rix thanks for explaining that!

you got the point absolutely correct. for some reason some players miss the general idea :(

@slovnoslomo @matt-rix I meant that i guessed that i had to draw nothing the first time and still had to draw something and be wrong before guessing right.

@namnam

i got you! sorry for confusion.
cause i recieve some feedback about the thing we mentioned. when players don't get it.

i left that step especially for the setup so some players less likely will lost the idea :)
but yes, i see your point now. should have made a fix to the assignment text there, switch _the biggest_ for the _big_ on that step.

I like this interactive story, it get to it's point nicely :)

Hey! This was a cool, very different deep story. It was really interactive and kept me interested! Cool to see a game like this on top of the 2D platformers and topdown games. It did lack some audio in my opinion though! Could've made it even more alive with some kind of SFX, possibly some music. But this was still rly interesting to play! Spamming the texts was probably the most satisfying thing I've done all year lol. The story also worked well and gameplay-wise I only wish it would've been longer :) A really innovative game, loved it!

A very interesting concept. I like the central message of this game. The imagination knows no bounds! Nice work.

I realise as I sit here, in complete silence, having played this game with noise-cancelling headphones, that I am here, feeling everything, inside nothing.

A fun game with a deep message that makes you think... or I am just easily entertained, either way, well done!

I liked the story. A nice little narrative experience. If only there was some great music to go along with it. Good job with a cool idea!


Simply great, thank you !

That was a good little experience! Makes you think.

Simple but great. I feel for that nothing. And that lesson is great.
Looks pretty much like nothing else. But everything I saw let me food for thought.
Well done.

@p-r your review is an artform itself. The only thing i can response with is

@gwinnell playing it with a noise-cancelling headphones is a beautifull move!

You gave an example for everyone, who regret the lack of sound :D

Cool use of theme a really liked this, it pushed the boundary of whats considered a game and made me think.

I loved the ending. Lol i acutally thought maybe another game is inside....but damn..Also, i loved how you kind of implemented the drawring part. Smallest and Largest Imaginable. GG!

even though music would have been nice but still..i loved it.

I really like this game, although it is very short (just like my game hhh) but it is enough to make me feel the charm of this story. I am glad that I have not missed this game. It expresses a lot of my feelings about this theme. “with nothing，but evething”， thank you！

eeeeeeeeverything!

"The biggest rock you can imagine." *draws circle all the way around the paper so that it'd be even bigger than the desk* "You can draw bigger."

I liked this a lot. Always enjoy seeing something different. Don't know if the deal with the blank papers can really be attributed to an old teacher of yours, or if they were just fictional and this was really your own idea, or if it goes back even further to someone else, but it's a nice sentiment wherever it comes from. For such a simple game it has a lot of atmosphere. Great work!

A lovely way to tell a story/share a piece of wisdom while including the "player" (experiencer?). I agree with some of the previous comments, sound was definitely missing for full immersion, but I liked that you predicted some possible responses and addressed them right there. Either way, you probably took a risk with this idea, but I think it turned out great.

Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream!
