December 13th-16th 2013 :: Theme: You Only Get One
[ Real World Gatherings | Ludum Deals | Warmup Weekend ]
Monochrome is a short and moody point-and-click story-based experience.
A cold winter night. An old man stands in front of the window, gazing into the horizon. Colors evade him, and so does the light. What is it out there, that he is drawn to?

my favorite game of the compo so far, Its seems complete I don't think you need to add any thing to it
it's really good :)
Interesting. There are two entries called "monochrome". I couldn't figure out what to do aside from clicking on all the objects. It's more an interactive piece of artwork than it is a game, no?
That was simply brilliant. The story, music, graphics, everything is great here. Congrats.
Damn, can't score lower than top marks on Mood, what an emotionally driven story. Well done!
Wasn't fun, I didn't understand what I was supposed to do, got bored after examining objects for around 5 minutes. Really nice mood though, poor old man.
Really great entry. I liked the way you worked with the colors.
The mood and the artwork are great. I'm a bit frustrated by the slow pace, though; it almost feels like the game is lagging and I must admit it didn’t motivate me enough to play to the end.
Wow the thought in the game is great, Touch and deep love the story you got.
Nice one! Simple enough to navigate, touching enough to keep on exploring and the subtle color changes made it more "interaction inviting"
I love the art work, fits very well. The music fits the scene very well.
Wonderful use of the theme, and the atmosphere/story is perfectly crafted! Great work with this!
The only word that comes to my mind after playing this game is "Beautiful". I love the way you've used the theme with a simple story but still created something that's deep.
Wow, I *love* the mood you set. Stroke of brilliance, draining color from the objects you interact with.
This game was so well-done and moving. My girlfriend cried while playing it, the mood was perfect.
I almost shed a tear! Great art game, both from a graphics perspective but especially from a story perspective. I started playing being absolutely sure of the ending, but the actual resolution took me by surprise. Good job!
Unity, eh? From the sound of it, this is a pretty epically cool game that I won't get to play because there isn't a linux build. //(T.T)\\
Awesome presentation. I touched me really. cool game art. nice soundstrack... well written short story. Enjoyed it!
I see it as a very nice and original experiment. I love the speed of the old man
Wow. This is gorgeous. I will play it again later for sure. Congrats. Makes me want to learn Unity ;) What did you use for tilemaps?
Wow, that packed some real emotional punch! Thank you for that pause in my day - moving and haunting, this is a great "game"
this made me cry. the monochrome effect on objects is a really good way to drive the way story and interaction. and that ending..

MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
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.
My first Ludum Dare game! I hope you guys enjoy it.
