good call. now, holding SPACE makes the text go way faster. thanks for the feedback!
I can't stop myself bouncing off the walls. This makes me laugh :)
Nice idea, but would be cool if there were checkpoints so you don't need to start from the beginning. I skipped few lines also, because of how space works. Would be better if it just skipped one current line when pressed.
That was fantastic. Thank you so much for the walkthrough, I'd found the egg end (the dark one) and I was still looking for more possibilities.
I'm usually bored by "a lot of dialogue" kind of games. But I eally enjoyed playing this one.
I think, just having to avoid walls while reading, is a very simple idea, but add really something.
Well done !
Weird and cool :D
The multiple endings were great and it was well written. One of my favorite entries so far!
Super cool concept and simple yet pleasant visuals. The dialogue seemed decently written too, so props all around.
Neat idea, I'm not patient enough right now for it though, haha.
You're actually the reason I started doing Ludum Dares. I found Endeavor, loved it, tracked its origins, and here I am. Anyway, I always look forward to playing your LD games; you come up with very interesting ideas. This one has a very "choose your own adventure" feel to it. Very simple, but tons of depth. I very much enjoyed playing it. Keep up the excellent work, and I'll be keeping an eye out of your LD27 entry.
Really amazing game and definitely the entry that has kept me playing for longer until now.Great job!
Pretty interesting game. Really liked the multitasking between making dialogue choices and trying to avoid the walls (most of the game). The dialogue and endings were absolutely well written.
*some spoilers*
Is there any ending where it doesn't say "wait, that's not how it happened?", other than the secret ending?

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
hahahaha, its really funny the game. Really original and well done. Only dislike how failing answers works, because after a while it gets a bit boring having to smash yourself to skip aaall the text :)
