Lovely art. Captions could have been a lot bigger though. To start with I did not realise they were there in the first place. I like the horizontal format of the game as well. Would have been nice if there had been more decisions to make as well

I liked this a lot! Good job keeping things small for the game jam, but also making a fully realized thing.

I really like the art! I didn't notice the text at first though because it was so small... I wish there was more to this!

Not sure what the issue is, but nothing ever loads for me. Is it an issue with Chrome?

I played out each of my fates. The music/sounds are all neat. All of the scenes are nice to play through. Its a bit short but very high quality and a promising choose your own adventure concept. Perhaps the story will continue?

@Josh Riley - It's a big load and it's flash and all browser hate it.

@internetpaulicy - My main reason for making this was to try a visual only time based choose your own adventure prototype thing. As short as this is I think it served that purpose well. I do have plans for a much larger game in the near future.

I would have loved this to branch more than it did. That being said, awesome style, and good work.

Ho I'm so sad, this looks amazing and it's so short. The QTE gameplay seems to be cool. Realy great job for the graphics.

The graphics are fantastic, but this game needs a lot more content. 72 hours may have been a better choice.

fun times. Loved the creepy monster. I could get past the first level.

You seriously need to expand this idea. It's such a great start, and I will gladly throw money at a longer one

25. Aug 2015 · 02:46 UTC
Amazing how much comes across so quickly with this one. I love the idea of an adventure game where you are presented with a visual scenario and have to chose fast. Not sure if this has been done before but man it plays great. Would love to see this with a good amount of options added. Also I would give more points for style if I could.

really short, but i like the alternate ending and the monster's attack is really sweet!

25. Aug 2015 · 05:22 UTC
Woah so slick. Really nice set up here and the idea of the simple time-sensitive actions is really clever. It's super short, but I would love to see this expanded into a full game!

Very polished, nice artistry with good quality audio/visual. However it's not short or super short, it's a micro adventure ... Would have loved if it was longer, you got something there, keep on working :)

Loved everything about this. I like the thought of a point and clicker type game where you need to make choices quickly. Looks and sounds amazing.

The concept is nice, but the game is far to short to be able to be properly evaluated IMO. I like the take on the graphics, and would quite like to see more of it!

25. Aug 2015 · 22:54 UTC
This is really impressive! I love to see people do so much with so little. The visuals are top notch, animation is great, audio is solid, story is excellent. The only thing I wish for is more to play though. Nice job here.

This was a cool game conormn. I really loved the animations you put into this game, and the art style you chose was very good. Hopefully, this may be a small taste for an even bigger game in the future. (If you catch my drift) :)

This is a very interesting game. I really enjoy the graphics and sound design. The idea is very unique as well. I just wish there was more than two rooms!

It's a pity you ran out of time for adding more stuff, but this is damn amazing in its graphics, audio and overall mood! I love the very simplistic, clean style, and the monster's animations are stunning. Awesome stuff.

26. Aug 2015 · 08:03 UTC
Super-cute art style, I love it! With a few more decision points added I think this could be a really engaging game.

Nice art direction, the atmosphere of the game is great, so bad that the gameplay is too limited. But this is a compo, and I think you spent time on graphics and animation. Good entry!

Really cool art style (and very polished audio design, too). The two-choice menus concept seemed to go in an interesting way, but the game was too short.

Good job!!
RougeRogue
26. Aug 2015 · 20:42 UTC
It was a lot of fun to play, looked, and sounded great; however it was a bit short. I'd assume having graphics this good would mean compensating a lot of the gameplay. Other than that, though, it's awesome. Great job!

Really awesome! I love the style and the animation of the monster movement is great. So's the ship.

Of course the only criticism is the length! There wasn't enough time to listen to the whole of the music track (also awesome). I really hope you have the time to expand on it, just 4-5 more screens would really flesh it out.

Also, the time-pressure mechanic is really nice, and keeps with the setting.

Too short, aah too short. I was really expecting something amazing by the looks of the intro, but alas there really wasn't much.
Graphics were simple but yet very good, and the music was great. Can't tell how great it really is in extended play though.
Hopefully you'll add some more content later on :)

It could be better if...
- I could skip or accelerate the initial text.
- Have more game. :D It's so short.

Great entry for such a short time.

Great art and animation. Probably the shortest ludum dare game I ever played. I got very confused with the controls being listed as "cursor" because I assumed that meant cursor keys. Eventually I tried the mouse!

Clearly this level of art has a price in terms of how much you can do in 48 hours but it's nice to see this quality, even as a tiny snapshot, in the competition.
