Since you're using Unity, it would be great if you could post a web version too!\r\rOther than that, I really liked it! The controls were slick, the game felt polished.

Basically, you're saying that visuals don't matter if the core isn't interesting? Or maybe I'm projecting my own game onto yours. Hmm. Anyway, cool game!"},{"author_name":"5T4MP5","author_uid":"34376","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 2:46am","epoch":1398739260,"text":"Really nice atmosphere. The small animations you placed on the player really did a lot for it. I found myself quite engaged given that the mechanics are minimal. It was a good choice to go for a less specific story, and convey the feeling of discovering something away from home, and then returning. Good use of the theme as well."},{"author_name":"Pitzik4","author_uid":"8883","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 2:47am","epoch":1398739320,"text":"This game felt very polished, I really liked the graphics!

Sorry that the ending was kind of disappointing, I almost ran out of time.\r\r@Secret_tunnel\rI wasn't exactly trying to say anything. I was trying to create more of a feeling\/mood like 5T4Mp5 said, but I do like your interpretation.
