Such a beautiful game.
It touches me deeply because I have a friend that suffers from anxiety and sleep issues. Very moving..
~
Simple mechanics but great art style and very good and original design, I liked it.
About the audio: Ok, so I put headphones on, then the instructions says there's no audio. Yet I still feel strangely affected by the silence. Quite hypnotic.
Love the style! The tiiiiniest bit of audio would have made this, i reckon
The graphics worked really well and I liked the fact you had no audio but asked for headphones - very atmospheric. Good job!
Interesting entry.
I found a bug tought, if you play the game with Opera web browser the keyboard input doesn't work
One of the more artistic games I've played so far, I loved the general atmosphere and the dream elements. Short but sweet.
Wow, what a great ...eh ...thing! I love the subtle details everywhere - the slight character movements, the "headphones recommended" notice... Great work!
Doesnt load anything after I click play game.
:(
Linux + chrome browser.. something wrong?
Interesting game. I enjoyed playing through it. I like the simple but powerful art style.
Captivating! Thanks for the artistic approach. Some sound wouldn't hurt, I guess, but the silent headphones trick is very cool too )
Beautiful game with beautiful art with a beautiful and simple message, which to me was about conquering your fears and moving on.
I really loved this. To me, this is what browser gaming is all about - a platform to allow people to really get creative and do something different. It's like interactive art. Congratulations.
Great game, the mood is just awesome! And it is really interesting to play without sounds to!
The art style was really awesome. The reset button was a good call. Had to retry a couple of times. Good work.
It's very great to take the risk of a story telling game in a such small amount of time. Really enjoyed the mood, the story, the graphics and the puzzle (very simple but poetic and oniric). Definitely a wonderful experience! (I would love to hear some sounds on it).
Brilliant! Nice puzzles, good art direction, what's not to like?
I said that because of your sound approach. The silence express more than any music. Very interesting ;)
I have to admit, that went over my head. Too artsy for my tiny scientific brain to understand.
There is a very strong mood in this game. Disturbing, but I loved it!
Nice drawings. A point and click adventure with a difference.
As much surrealism as minimalism, but quite an interesting experience.
Very interesting game, and one is for sure, if you would have decided to add some ambient sound or such, the atmosphere could have been even better. I loved the visuals...
Nice concept.Though I didn't quite understand the point or
ending. 7/10
Interesting indeed. I could not play on Firefox Nightly, the controls would not work.
The gameplay is quite weird, it is not always obvious what the player should do. And most of all, I regret that there are no basic movement animations for the player and other two-legs characters.
The graphics are good, the theme is well respected, and the game is deep. And it's HTML5! (Crafty \o/)
Loved the hand-drawn graphics and despite the lack of sound, the story was actually quite interesting.
Nice mood, playing in silence was somehow gruesome, but fitting... Still wonder why you recomment headphones, though... :)
Thanks everyone for your feedback!

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.
Interesting game, i did not understand why you precise that there is no sound, is there a meaning for it? Graphics sue to your game anyway, good job.
