very slow thing

I get to the first text screen, and then I pyush enter, but then nothing happens :(

No reported error.

I should clarify, I hear music and see the text, but then it seems to crash.

I'll add a bit to the description here. If it seems stuck, but the music is still playing, it's still loading the level. It's quite slow during that, completely my fault for using the technique I used for loading the level. I haven't had it load for more than 30 seconds. Try waiting that much. If not, it might be a bug with the input, I'll look into it. Thanks.

mmmm it crashed..... but looks cool man great job :D

That was fun, and I like the story

In my computer gives conflicting and does not open. but the idea seems to be good.

Good story. Had to die a lot to get through but I had fun. Thanks :)

Nice job! I liked the story.

Story and mood are clearly the focus here. Kind of reminded of the Avernum RPGs. It's too bad the technical problems hinder the enjoyment.

I could see the relation to evolution. It's not really a literal take like "bacteria in a petri dish", but something more subtle and memorable.

First, brilliant writing!

There were some technical difficulties: the large text screens seemed to be hanging-up a little. Also these large text screens did break the mood a bit - the smaller ones inside the levels were not as intrusive: a nice touch.
Maybe such a story-heavy game would have benefited form some voice acting ;)

Greetings from fellow pygamer.

Nice job! But sometime it crashed.

Froze on the the first screen.

Couldn't hear any sounds. Gameplay itself was really nothing special just avoid some bushes. Story seemed interesting although I'm not sure if it crashed or just ended. The long loading times combined with the short levels made it difficult to play. The story itself seemed interesting, and cyclical.

Not much gameplay but afterall the whole point of the game was the narration and the story itself, which I liked!
I had two play it two times though because the final screen suddenly closed the first time. Couldn't hear any sounds.
Good work :)

It froze on the first screen for me too.

I enjoyed the story, and the character sprites.

never gets past first screen, you hit enter and it just keeps looping the music, waited a few minutes thinking it was still loading but it was stuck in some sort of read loop, i had to hard kill the python process after the thread got over 4 gigs. There were no errors thrown by pyton, it was DEFINITELY still trying to load something...it actually seemed to have all the file handles open and loading all the data files, finishing, then loading them again from inspecting the process, like it's stuck in a loop loading all the assets into memory over and over.

Hit <Enter> at the first story text screen and the game froze. :(

Nice, but sometimes its frustrating (especially during loading) ;).

The same problem: crashes at the first text screen. Win7Pro x64

I really like the visuals. Got stuck in the third level dying at the first flower without seeing any chance to pass.
