Hm, cool isn't the word. What I want to say is that is a great idea. I loved it. I think the gameplay can be a little more, hem, interactive ? The art is really cool, I like your low poly. And the music is fine too. Good job !"},{"author_name":"Didi","author_uid":"37039","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 2:42pm","epoch":1450190220,"text":"nice lil short sad story that is life ;)"},{"author_name":"tyrants.not.found.team","author_uid":"66002","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 2:46pm","epoch":1450190460,"text":"While it's not really a game game, it does present the idea of life in a quite interesting manner. Makes you think about it. It's like a mini-animation with two buttons, heh. Thumbs-up for that and it delivers on what it wants to be, but no so much on the actual game part :)\r\rCheers,\rIonut(Tyrants.not.found team)"},{"author_name":"skysthelimit","author_uid":"29717","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 2:50pm","epoch":1450190700,"text":"Cheer up... life aint all that bad!\r\rLoved the art style, which is unusal with me and blocky graphics. But still. It worked!\r\rWould have loved to have seen a bit more "game" in a "game" jam entry but cant have everything eh?."},{"author_name":"fullmontis","author_uid":"21736","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 2:59pm","epoch":1450191240,"text":"The game is really gorgeous, looks almost like a claymation. The lightning is especially lovely. The mood is also quite intense and pensive."},{"author_name":"linseyray","author_uid":"63403","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 2:59pm","epoch":1450191240,"text":"Really loved it! Nice contemplation on life, had some goosebumps in the two last levels. It's all too true for many of us, which makes it quite sad. The graphics are lovely, very nice style. I do feel the audio could have done more to add to the mood, in the later levels it felt a bit too energetic. Great job!"},{"author_name":"holgk","author_uid":"32032","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 5:31pm","epoch":1450200360,"text":"Nice entry but a bit more gameplay (something more to do) would be nice.
