Cheers! [-LB](https://ldjam.com/users/the-lame-brain/)
@marius-png glad you liked it. Can you elaborate on innovative?
@alexthehuman2 hmm... maybe I'm so used to turning volume up/down (whilst rec/mixing), so that detail slipped my mind. Thank you for playing! Actually, we wanted to make quite an interesting stuff with dolby-effect, implementing Wwise, etc. But had to cut on this, the code just wouldn't recognize our needs. Anyway, maybe the loud music can count also as - within the theme - unstabled).
@enderswype is that a sarcasm?)) But the experience is real-life based, quite traumatizing.
@alex-chertilin especially when this mosquito could be the only one - immortal)). Thanks!
@kamuniaft Lovecraft? Interesting... We surely tried to make some suspense without screamers. Glad you liked it!
@the-lame-brain we feel that still!
Nice use of the theme btw ^^
@tardif-adrian @0x-void-x0 thank you for playing and the motivation!
@matlab thanks for hearing through our unstable mosquito song)).
@its-capp I feel you...
@gord10ahmet Thank you! Imagine that this story is quite real... (well, almost)
@marc-antoine-girard thank you! We vox our best).
@bgdc glad you liked it overall, thanks!
Спасибо за игру!
@xpoho Nice worldwordplaydisorder). Thanks.
@hiisileiri games can be art, and most are. However, the idea of making a bouncing sound with different loudness and hunting for it, when it meets the trigger, was in development, we thought about this. But the code went wrong, so we had to make it simplier a bit, and not ruin the concept. The brain eating thing is more like a metaphor (in my own personal view Player is or becomes a mosquito), but there's an open ending to it, anyway. So, it's a bit more complicated in a kind of thinking way, but the easiest as we play it. We believe, this art (or game) story is quite finished without any macabre, the way we wanted it. Thanks for playing our stuff!
@piper-thompson well, thank you! We can be much more insane... still in a good way;).
But I am also very impressed by the outro song. I had no idea what to expect going into this, but it definitely wasn't what I got.
Good job creating a very unique experience. Something that I'm almost certain no one here has ever experienced before. I do wish it had a bit more gameplay though. Like hillsileiri mentioned, it would have been more immersive if you had to kill the mosquito each night as it approached, perhaps delaying the inevitable brain meal. It would help attach the player to the world, and the situation of being in the room with the mosquito.
@sam-onella a little one, but may haunt you many nights)). Thanks!
@animawish @junjunlowpoly So glad you got to manage through this work of ours! We really tried to share some real story behind...
A longer story would be nice too, but who knows how long could we'd survive with that buzzing sound? (Without going even madder, anyway.) Great work!
You've definitely stretched the bounds of what can be considered for a "Game Jam" (I read your latest blog posting, and I think I caught some philosophical questions of what makes a "game"). Your entry is at least interactive, but my definition of a game might be more strict (I wrote about it in a blog of my own). Of course, we can both be right. If we accept only the strict definitions, we close ourselves to new opportunities!
Thanks for sharing this :) It was definitely unique and worthwhile!
