I love the name, the title screen, the transition into gameplay, the audiovisual mood, the philosophical musings… everything here is simply superb. During my first few moments with the game, I was expecting a sort of troll game where it was really just an endless quest for something that doesn’t exist, so I was pleasantly surprised that there was actually something to it. And I really appreciated what’s there, the only downside is how very little there is.
The stereo-directionality of audio seemed off to me at first, then I realized it’s based on Albert’s rotation, which is a really nice touch! But it seems like his right ear is my left ear and vice versa, i.e. the left and right channels are swapped… unless I’ve plugged my headphones in the wrong way. I loved that detail anyway. Really neat entry!
It's really nice to blame it on your headphones but I believe I'm at fault here :p Thank you a lot for noticing my efforts !
I really, really loved this. There were a lot of charming little details, such as the bubbles approaching and following you as you got close enough, down to the intro stand-up and camera movement. While, I obviously wish there was more, this was slick as all hell.
Great job, especially for doing it solo!
I love the art and idea. I hope you make more!
It's pretty fascinating. I'd love to play a finished version. Very creative, I like games like this that get a little more philosophical. Great work, congrats on the submission!
Thanks it means a lot :)
Oh how I wish there was more to this game! It was slow at first, but I was intrigued to continue seeking out the little pieces of energy. I think another go at this game, even for just a small project is worth it! I liked the visual presentation and vibes the game explored! Great job c:
Thank you so much !!
I admittedly had some trouble finding the source of the sound. It took me turning off the music to realize the audio directionality is based on the direction the character is facing and not screen space. Still, I liked the general vibe and would be interested to see where the game goes next!
First time working with sound in 3D ! Thanks for the critic
I am Albert.
We're all Albert :( Ty for playing !
