Other Side by Raphy

[raw]
made by Raphy for LD30 (JAM)
Don't worry, we'll all meet to the other side!

Arrows to move, space or enter to use the stones.

If you don't know what to do, maybe you should wait for the night :)

Juste a little experiment I wanted to try... it was made in about 24 hours.

Thanks !

Hey, thanks for the feedbacks !

MemoryLeek, yes I made a mistake in the Linux URL, now it's normally fixed :)

Cool game with a nice, mysterious mood and good graphics/sound. Looks and feels a bit like a 8-bit version of "Journey".
Great job!

Really nice mood setting you built up, the sound makes it feel amazing, would love to see more of it

Wow! It was really amazing!
The mood is very particular: mountains, clear sky and clous carried by wind. Great graphics is sound (even there's some issues with its position).
Good work!

The Linux version (after updated URL) didn't run out of the box. I had to copy files from another Linux Unity game and the Windows version of this game to get it to run.
Once that was done it ran without problems :)

Oh sorry MemoryLeek, I have nothing to test it on Linux so I just uploaded the Unity meant to build for Linux! Thanks for managing to run it anyway :)

Beautiful graphics / audio / mood. Music reminded me of Chrono Trigger / Final Fantasy, and the game brought memories of Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery. Hats off to you :)

Not really a game, but I'd give you 6 mood stars if only I could... Really beautiful graphics and sound!

Pretty nice, reminds me a little of Gods will be watching in terms of style. Game is very climatic. Although I didn't know what to do I beat it eventually. All in all great entry :)

Great audio and visuals, short and sweet. Took me a moment to realize what to do, perhaps it could have been shown better which stones had been activated.

Fantastic graphics and mood. Didn't know what to do though, even after reading your tip about the stones.

Lovely artwork, sound and atmosphere. Managed to solve the stones after the first night.

Nice job.

Creates fantastic atmosphere from the art, music and sound effects.
I wish to see what you could do in more than 24 hours!

Even though I liked the concept and the general feel of the game, it was a bit too short in my my taste. I liked what I played, though. Don't get me wrong. It's not bad. I just wish it was longer :)

The game mood is powerful. Pitching sounds according to the player direction is a very nice polishing. Overall, the game has an impressive realization. And it intrigued me quite a lot so I was eager to see what would happen.

Nice atmosphere, artwork and audio, but I just couldn't figure out what to do! I waited until the night ;(

Wow! It always amazes me when an artist like you manages to create a moving piece of work with so few elements. Especially to smoothly conceive and execute that concept in such a short amount of time. Great work! Audio is great and I love-love the visual style. Very well done!

Have you considered a longer game? Please let me know how to find it if you do create more. I'd love to play it!

The game is more like a story, a short but touching love story. The background art of the game is very beautiful, and all of them tells something about the story. Great work!

I was completely immersed for the past 3-5 minutes I experienced your entry...very well done. Thank you for that :) Great mood, audio and graphics style. Too bad it's so short.

Great game, there is great potential for more. The graphics and ambient sounds are well polished. Good job for that short working time. I noticed that the first tunes are inspired of a Breath of Fire song ;). Nice message by the way.

Absolutely beautiful, and (like most everyone else is saying) the sound really adds to it. Super short, but it would awesome to see what you could do with this for something a bit longer - I'd love to play it.

I feel stupid, am I supposed to wait after having activated the stones? I'm activating them as shown in the sky(sky-order, stone-order), but there's probably something more.. :/
The game is really pretty though.

So melancholic... I didn't understand what the stones were mean to represent but the atmosphere was really beautiful.

02. Sep 2014 · 11:08 UTC
Nice mood! The game itself is really a bit too slow, especially if you miss the 1st night and have to wait for the next one. I wasn't patient enough and I "brute-forced" the enigm :)

Got it working this time around, it seemed like the first sign hint hadn't triggered last time I played. (Maybe got to them before dark?)

Yay, reunion~!
Poor kiwis, though, they're cute birds.

This game's main strength is mood, though story is rather adorable, too. The graphics (people in particular) reminded me somehow of The Last Door.

Overall pretty nice, short entry, though it doesn't stand out much compared to others I played (granted, they do set the bar high). ^^"

Can't say it felt like a game but the mood was really great, sound and graphics and everything just melted together into a really nice peace of art. Great job! :)

Brilliant. If you get a good story and some interesting puzzles to go with this style of artwork and effects/sound and mood, you have a winner. I would pay for something like this, feels like superbrothers before it got famous :)

hi, here's some feedback.

What I liked :
- Atmosphere (lights, day progressing in time, mind-free feeling, sounds)
- A whole pleasing experience
- Visual consistency
- Story telling without text : a lot of things are told in a very short time which makes the game intense, aside the walking phases make it 'long' in the same time and prevent it from being frenetic. in a nutshell : good telling rithm.

What imo could be improved :
- more interactions, it's short and easy without having to do much things.
- walk animation is a bit approximative.

Overall a good experienceI appreciated to have, thanks for the game =)

This was really beautiful. The telling of a story without using words was pretty masterful.

Yeah, ya gotta let experiments live in their own space. So it's about the art and mood, and not about bunches of levels.
