This is so pretty its making me angry. I wish there were six, seven or maybe eight stars to give you. I also think its a really neat compartmentalized emotional experience, like this triggers a response from me.

Amazing. Beautiful graphics and animations, great audio. Overall just great presentation. Nice simple mechanics. Pretty cool when you first hit "Feed" and you realize that thing is alive. Great stuff.

This game looks sooo good. It's also a challenge to make doing the same thing multiple times interesting, but I never thought about quitting. I had to see what was next. Awesome entry.

Wonderful yet could have gone further, I wish this had went in as a Jam as it is ambitious yet simple.

Innovation 3/5: I've seen some games like this, but it isn't a common genre.

Fun n/a: It doesn't have exactly gameplay.

Theme 5/5: Great use of the theme!!!

Graphics 5/5: The best graphics that I've seen on the Ludum Dare!!!

Audio 5/5: It made me sad (in the good way)

Humor n/a: It doesn't have humor.

Mood 5/5: The combination of graphics, music and history is perfect.

Overall 5/5: It's not exactly a game, but it's great.

Not really suitable to the theme of the LD, but the artwork is really good nonetheless.

Awesome! The art style was amazing and I didn't mind that the gameplay was simple because the story was interesting. And what a design for the building! I enjoyed this thoroughly.

I feel like I can't show the game the appreciation it deserves ._.

Interesting, *really* good sound and visual design. It wasn't very fun, and it felt like a chore catching the "fish", but I can see that that's totally the point!

Funny concept and interesting story. You're a great artist! Can I buy the music anywhere?

Oh, and double thanks for not hiding the Unity graphics config which everyone else is doing for no real reason. Unity does a **horrible** job at detecting my screen resolution, and thanks to you leaving it up I was able to play with crisp graphics, and without the game horribly stretching itself to fit my weird monitor.

Thanks for all of the comments! This has definitely been the best response to an LD game I have made :)

Beautiful game! But I think I shouldn't judge it by the standard of games. It is more like a piece of art than game.
But let's speak in terms of game standards first anyway. The graphics is extremely good. Audio is awesome, too. In terms of art... The art is kind of abstract for me... And I'm not an art student so I'm not sure what I should say about it... But I'd like to think of it as a piece of poetic modern art. Nice work!
