Wow! This looks awesome. Could be real fun playin 8 players. Too bad I dont have anyone to play with at the moment, but I will definitely try this one later with someone!

This game looks and feels great - unfortunately I sat alone hosting a game for quite a while.

Perhaps you could organise a time when you'll be in a game so that we can get a multiplayer session!

Very cool mood to this game, and loved how you could "hide" as a tree. Graphics were pretty nice too (in a minimalist way). Some reason to *not* be a tree (i.e., lumberjacks) might make the game more tense.

Interesting in multiplayer. I like the effects on screen, and the character too

- Nice work! I just tried playing for multiplayer with the guy who sits next to me and it worked with out issues.
- Lighting looks pretty sweet when you get near one of those globes.
- Stipple graphics was an interesting style
- Looks pretty tripy.
- Music was nice and ambient.
- Running and jumping feels good.
- Actual gameplay needs some work, but is functional. I didn't get to play for very long though.
