I would love to play it if you can make a mac or web port :)

I'd have liked a Linux build... And this doesn't seem to be at all compatible with WINE (It crashes on startup). But the graphics look pretty neat from the screenshots. It looks like a roguelike and I like roguelikes.

Interesting. I had a hard time figuring out how to defend myself, though.

It oddly reminded me of the old-school Wolfenstein games. I never got very far though as I was too slow to outrun anything and too shitty to dodge :(

No music and had nothing to do with the theme of growth. At least you only had two "actions" (dropping items and using them) but then you still had the arrow keys so this doesn't really qualify for either theme. Almost enjoyable.

No 32 bit version? :/

Awesome! I love the graphics style, so minimalistic which brings its own funny things (like carrying a huge-ass key over your head :D). Nice job overall, just could have used some music. :)

Loved the aesthetics, but couldn't work out how to defend myself :(

The camera is way too slow. I have to either wait for it or die venturing into the unseen. Also, I'm not sure how it implements either of the themes.

It was very interesting, but I don't really know how it relates to the theme? My one complaint would be the camera seems a bit too slow to follow you

Yeah more levels. Graphics simple but effective for a simple yet effective too concept.

The gameplay is fun, but the game has nothing to do with the theme.

Who am I? What do I have to do? Focus the camera on the center of the character. The deaths are too cheap because I can't see the enemy.

@Akhera, @nunesbarbosa: The slow camera is a bug (it isn't dependent on the frame time and I had 1000+ fps while developing)

Will upload a fix

Found a gun. It didn't help a lot. ) Very challenging, perhaps some balancing (or save/load option) would make gameplay more enjoyable. Visual style is nice.

I won! Walking diagonally and waiting on corners seemed to be the trick.

Nice little game , good puzzle type made me think and redo parts numerous times :)

Graphics - not bad but was glitchy especially when moving upwards and player animation seemed wrong when back to camera shoes purple part of one side?

overall i liked playing it

Well Done!

A very challenging game, the design of monsters and of the character is very good. Nice game =)
