REACH by @SamPotasz

[raw]
made by @SamPotasz for LD34 (JAM)
A short game about personal growth. Feel free to read more about it here: http://www.sampotasz.com/blog/breakout-design/ (contains spoilers).

As stated in the title screen, I got the music from incompetech (which I'm very grateful for!).

Clever art and a good quick game! Wish there was just a bit more.

Hey, I got the "good ending". The game where you get some points didn't feel very fun, but trying to hit the ceiling ended up feeling pretty challenging and fun.

btw, I think since you didn't create the music this is supposed to be in the jam, not the compo. http://ludumdare.com/compo/rules/

Funny game with a twist :). I liked the atmosphere in the "secret" ending.

Really cool twist on a classic game. I thought I got it when I saw the number of points declined each time you hit the same object, but I didn't - until I did.

The game was rather bland but the ending was very moody and great! Well done!

A very thoughtful entry once again! Beautiful idea
I wonder how many people will miss the clue and give up... But that just makes it an all the more perfect analogy.
Brilliant job, looking forward to the next one!

All the value of this game lies in the final twist. But it's worth it.
