It's pretty visually impressive and I liked the direction of taking a slower paced approach to the theme. The game lacks in having a point to explore the world though. There wasn't anything exciting enough near the start in the world that would make me want to venture to a further point.

The music was a little too short which made the majority of the game silent. Other than that it was just beautiful. I loved the effects on the sun, although if the sun image was smaller it would look nicer. I ended up spending the first 7 minutes running around aimlessly until I discovered a town. As I saw the town, I looked over to discover an object in the air. I ran towards it, and realized what it was. For some reason, I stood there as it flew towards me. I tried going back to the village, but it was pointless. It struck anyway. Beautiful game. Absolutely beautiful. It had a true sense of discovery about it which made it whimsical yet dark, almost like majora's mask. Your game that you made in 3 days, just got compared to majora's mask.

Too bad you couldn't do more to show that time was slowed down during the jam. I know well what that feels like ;)\r\rI would like to be able to jump. I understand that I don't need to jump for the story of the game but it would give me something to do while I walk around the huge world. Also, the first time I played (the post-compo) I got stuck in a ravine. Since you were using Unity, I knew you had access to a ready-made first person controller that could jump, and that you probably disabled jumping. At first I thought that was weird but then I thought it was really annoying when I got stuck. \r\rBuuuuuut I just realized two things: Your game time is moving at one second per minute of real time so if your player jumped they should really stay in the air for minutes (can't have that!) and your game character is actually moving very, VERY fast in the game world :D\r\rOverall, awesome game!"},{"author_name":"kirbytails7","author_uid":"4767","time":"Sep 12, 2013 @ 6:03am","epoch":1378965480,"text":"Not much of a game, missing the theme, and a bit rough around the edges...\r\r...but stunning.
