What?

I had no idea what was going on half the time, and it was great.

Quite nice game! I like the graphics, but I wish the controls were a bit easier to reach (e. g. WASD + Q + E)

Aww this looks like Another World meets Limbo and some puzzling.

Impressed as hell!

Probably the weirdest game I've played so far. Looked good and had a good atmosphere, but I also can't claim to have fully understood what I just played, and the gameplay was rather simplistic. Most of it was pressing buttons and riding things. Still, enjoyably odd.

Love it! You should continue working on it. I'd pay monies for a longer version.

Why did 9/11 plane hit a space elevator? Is this a metaphor? When we're trying to go up something happens to bring us down? Or that you shouldn't drink before taking the space elevator? Maybe that you invaded the space elevator country, killed so many of them and then they decided to take you down even if it meant destroying their structures? So many questions.

Favourite game so far!
The game crashed (I think) when the plane came in. Loved it

Awesome. Just awesome.

Absolutely mega-fantastic graphics feel. Love the arm when pointing and the character in general.

The connection to the theme felt a bit vague, besides taking the elevator down...

I would have liked something more than the game just closing after the head-on-smack-thing too.

But for a 48h thing this is really impressive. And a really solid style that would do great with some branching story and just more of everything.

A little bit raw. But I'm still speechless. So deep atmosphere...also tells a lot even without words.

Incredibly awesome!

And yeah, indeed it's a bit like Another World.

A nice little adventure game you have there. It was a little short, but a nice game overall.

Pretty damn impressed by this, really nice job. Looks well polished, art style looks really good, and it feels like one of those classic adventure games. Really nice job!

Great game. Amazing that you got so much in! The sound and art were good, and worked to create a really nice feel. Nice choice of scenes, too.

Fantastic. Tone, style, graphics, audio. Superb. One of the best entries I have seen, not just this year, but for the last four. Great work. Very much enjoyed this.

Super weird. I liked it though, there's that "something" in the art direction that made it compelling to play.

This was a really great experience. Reminded me of Another World/Out of This World. You've created a beautiful landscape :)

First game i've seen that made me wonder how on earth you managed to make this in 48 hours. Just... wow. Obviously very inspired by Another World, it has the same feeling, too. The use of sound and music worked really well too.

Very disturbing and atmospheric. Impressive stuff.

Well that escalated quickly! Very surreal, I'd love to play more. Even the gun was pleasant to use, and fitted the atmosphere very well indeed -- a little bit Frank Miller though. ^^

That was pretty surreal alright, I dig the style, and the ambient sound/music and the pitched down voice. Pretty cool.

Good Work!! I absolutely love it. Everything about it. Good sound and art, good story/plot/vibe.. Perfect almost. The shooting element added So much to it. I love the environments/architecture stuff. Everything! The first person views were dope... I could go on and on. Only qualm I have is that it ended.

Continue it pls!!!

Amazing! I like the interaction mode very much and the Atmosphere.

Wow! Very atmospheric and, probably, the wierdest game on this LD.

I get strong Another World vibes from this, which I really like. I was surprised that it didn't point out the gun controls straight away, but fortunately that wasn't too fiddly.

Okay, that was amazing. The Another World sort of style totally fits with the ever increasing creepy mood. The sounds were fitting as well. The drawn backgrounds were awesome. Short, but great. The application of the theme wasn't so clear, though.

Very cool. Best atmosphere of the games I've played so far. Probably the best overall as well.

Strange and enthralling, a bizzare tale of...something. I really enjoyed the visuals and audio, and the whole atmosphere of it. Great stuff.

Incredible atmosphere for such a short game. Very enjoyable.
