Optically reminded me of Limbo first. :slight_smile:
Looks pretty good, will try it now…

EDIT:
Very nice game, solid artstyle!
But :

Resizing the window in start menu shows you the level menu on the right - a little bit ugly:

And starting level 10 throws:

Very nice graphical style and controls.

Level 10 just quits the game, is that correct?

#4

HAHAHA yes sorry, forgot to mention that. We haven’t come up with an ending screen or animation yet :stuck_out_tongue:

And thanks, Drenius and Bearded Cow :B

#5

Edited first post, did not see the new answers :slight_smile:

#6

Uh, yea, there’s the resizing problem on the menu too. We should have made the window resizable only after choosing a level.

#7

Beautiful art.

#8

Agree.
Some ingame control instructions and, well, more levels, a lot more would be nice.

#9

Astonishing art and animation work, and a very unique concept. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Thanks 04hockey and ags1 ;D ;D ;D
