The jump sound was not very pleasant to listen to though. The shifting perspective mechanic is solid but it feels more like a visual gimmick than an actual mechanic when it happens at predetermined locations. If the player had control over when it would also lead to a more mental challenging experience."},{"author_name":"datacr4sh","author_uid":"40158","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 10:02pm","epoch":1409090220,"text":"nice puzzles, nice music :)"},{"author_name":"Rob Glen","author_uid":"39992","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 10:07pm","epoch":1409090520,"text":"Love the atmosphere of this. I'd say that first of all you need the mouse to be hidden and locked when playing because that can be a bit annoying in a first person game, also the controls could use some momentum, it feels a little off letting go of a key mid-jump and suddenly stopping. But overall nice idea and for some reason it reminded me of the game 'English Country Tune' in terms of the sound and visuals."},{"author_name":"Spang","author_uid":"38899","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 10:12pm","epoch":1409090820,"text":"I wish it was longer :( Would've love to keep playing it."},{"author_name":"ExtreLime","author_uid":"27375","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 8:02am","epoch":1409126220,"text":"Great atmosphere of melancholia and loneliness.

Made me think of an abstract myst. What I did for my unity web version was to make the mouse lock and invisible on click, that way people can press escape, switch away and then get back to playing when they click."},{"author_name":"local minimum","author_uid":"24765","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 8:03pm","epoch":1409169480,"text":"I had a great time playing it. Simple enough what to do and such. The character control could need some more workings. Especially fixing cursor lock (http:\/\/docs.unity3d.com\/ScriptReference\/Screen-lockCursor.html), but also the jumping was a bit floaty and it was hard to predict where one would land. These are details though. I really liked jumping around and the flipping of gravity."},{"author_name":"kristof","author_uid":"11354","time":"Aug 29, 2014 @ 9:33pm","epoch":1409347680,"text":"Nice game. I would have liked to see some more puzzles instead of the platformer sequences. Controlling the character feels a bit clunky. Part of it seems to be, that the player does not slide along walls. Also the gravity feels strange, but this could be intentional.\r<br\/>But its a finished game and I had fun playing it to the end. And thats what matters :) good work!"},{"author_name":"glbs","author_uid":"18480","time":"Aug 29, 2014 @ 10:28pm","epoch":1409350980,"text":"The minimal graphics and your (great) sound create a interesting and soothing atmosphere, I think like the others that the experience is a bit too short for the player but I guess it's still a lot for 48h!
