This is not a minimalist game
You're a mighty warrior, and you spend your life doing quests for various NPC in a medieval fantastic setting.
But what if your whole world disappeared and there were no more colors, no more details ? Even the way people talk has changed, only the essential words are left.
Solve the puzzles and get the world back the way it was... Or not ?
Controls :
- arrow keys
- X, C to talk to NPC
- 1 for the map (when you have it), then 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 on the map screen to go to another location (if you enter your current location, it does nothing)
- X to pick up an object when it's possible
- 2, 3, 4, 5... to drop an object
Advices if you're lost :
- revisit the locations you know to see if something's changed.
- try to combine the objects by dropping them

If the game doesn't start when you hit "X", click on the game, then hit "X" again (Flash needs the focus to register keyboard events).

*fyi I met a bug: if you leave after the dude drops the red squares, you can't make them respawn again. He'll talk and talk but no squares appear. This seems to be a dead end bug.

Very cool game, and very minimal. :p
Nice story, good graphics and excellent ending.
It's a very tiny game, but very well written, moving, and original. The very beginning enthralled me in a wonderful manner. I didn't know what to expect according to the title, nor when I saw this skilled fighter. And then there's the curse, the minimalist world, and we must learn to adapt. Incredible.
Seeing these pixels explode so often was particularly painful. But it was such a relief to adapt and change the world. The ending was such a wonderful idea too, although quite abstract. Some scenes were deeply disturbing (the mirror), and yet they were extremely simple.
I'm really amazed. That's a great work!
Nice!
a really cool entry.
About the walkthrough, it seemed necessary. How to progress in the story may seem obvious, but I assure you it is not for everyone. For instance, some players didn't realise that they could jump on the red squares and they left the game angry.
I prefer that players go through the game even if they use the walkthrough rather than leave frustrated.
As a player, it's not because a game gives me a walkthrough that I look at it. I only look at it when I would have left the game otherwise.
:)
Really nice story, gameplay, and execution.
Great ending too :)
S'il vous plaît !
Awesome entry overall.
The gameplay was simple but very polished. Though sometimes it wasn`t obvious if I could pick up/destroy someting.
Now let`s craft a sign "This is not 3D"!
Loved the end music. Lots of fun
