le joueur détraque le jeu

nature.

First of all i think it's no good requirement that the player has to download an additional software like the Powerpoint viewer in this case although i have to give kudos for using such a weird program to try to create a game of it. +1 for experimenting

Sadly as it seems PPV isn't a program you can create diverse games with. It felt like not having a real impact on the game which were resulting in less interest. It's more like a presentation, kind of like a movie.

But props for trying and finishing it. Good luck Sir!

Yes, the game is strictly contemplative if you simply browse the animations animations and taking the time.

However, using powerpoint I was aware of the problem by multiplying actions and animations. So I knew that I could use powerpoint the ideal effect of climate irregularity by the fact of man. I use the bug as a resource, and I did not need anything more;)

Unity, Unity, Unity, Unity, Unity, Unity, Unity, Power Point, Unity, Unity... hold on, back up. Powerpoint??

I like it when people use creative platforms. Last time someone made a game in matlab, this year you're the first I came across who made a game on a strange 'platform'.

Powerpoint is a bold choice. It needs more interaction, but conceptually this is great. looks like ill have to update our sales presentation for the next board meeting :P very cool

Not exactly a game, but bonus points for bringing back the time I used to spend doing these things in PPT as a kid, thinking it could be used to make fully fledged games! Some more interaction maybe, but unique choice.

I'm simply impressed that you made a game with powerpoint. That said, it felt a bit lacking in the interactivity department, and the graphics could have been higher quality given that there's not much more to the game. Cool, relaxing experience though.

Well, this is indeed interesting xD It wasn't really much of an actual game, but it was a very pleasing experience ;) good graphics and audio!

Powerpoint. Hm, that was a bold choice of a tool to use. Nice job though. I wonder if it would have been easier to maybe have done a like text adventure? haha
