Although the game is really simple, I have to applaud you on the artwork. Very well done.

It actually self-terminates after 10 seconds. Nice!

Nice graphics and mood. I just wish it was longer. Good job.

Echoing the above - the art is really beautiful. The game packs a punch too. Good stuff!

Good graphics and mood, but unfortunately I'm not a fan of the non-existing gameplay.

Beautiful. Loved the animations. It crashed my computer though after the 10 seconds, but I think it's my computers fault. Solid work for 2 hours.

Great art and music, but it's missing gameplay. Wich is to understand if you didn't have much time.

Nice art. I should get me one of these art things for my wall. Got some nails, so I can nail this art to my wall? Thanks.

I'm commenting to save this so I can find it again. Gonna finally install WINE soon.

Great "game" you made there, but...

1. Either it's Wine or GameMaker that's scaling your game "linear", not "nearest". If possible (AFAIK in GameMaker 6 you were able to do it by double-clicking on one of the bottommost menu items on the left... or so and then navigating thru the menus), change it.

2. Other than that, it really is lacking gameplay. No matter what I've pressed, nothing happened (except that I passed the main menu). I guess it's Wine so an NA for gameplay and audio (Wine still has got problems with GameMaker audio).

3. Unfournately, Ludum Dare isn't Imaginem Dare (or whatever would be IMAGE in latin), but still, I could give you full 5 stars for the art.

Other than the gameplay and audio and controlls and other missing stuff, it's really great for just two hours. Hopefully you will complete it somewhen in the future.

I can't really vote because I didn't make an game this LD.

Pretty cool for being made in 2 hours, though I wish there was some more content or more levels or something.

The art is just awesome. I wonder what this would become if you had the time to work more on it.

Wow. You're an incredible pixel artist, really. Like the concept, but I want to play a longer game with concepts like that. Bravo.

Well, first... the art is awesome and music really fits the mood. I really like "concept games" that makes me think. But I think that the "instructions" needed to be in game. I wanted to contemplate the choices I had (even if it were only two). All in all, very cool entry.

Very simple, not much of a game actually, but quite enjoyable. The audio works really well to add to the atmosphere. The graphics are HOT! Well done!

Beautiful work, and interesting, just not very fun (though this type of 'game' is more about effect than fun, I'd say). Definitely much better than anything I could pump out in two hours though lol.
