Really liked the concept of nirvana and that you can not win the game by doing the given tasks. Smooth and overall polished. Great job!
Have skippable text, particularly in a game where time matters. Also, the gameplay was kind of tedious.
Cool idea, I like the way it made me think about all the movements. Great effort!
Nice idea, gameplay was a little slow due to the cutsceney type stuff, but otherwise good fun :)
The concept is really nice, but I keep getting "glued" to the stairs and losing money because I'm not that fast.
Nice idea. I wanted to complete the game for the story XD found it really funny, but also the conclusion in the end is great.
Good message. One thing you should change, is that the money doesn't get deducted on the first level. I can just imagine someone trying the game, being a little distracted and not paying attention, then suddenly seeing the win screen and thinking: Well that was pretty lame!
Pointless gameplay. Even for the simplest type of platformer possible, you didn't even get the physics right with the stairs. At least there was some story that was probably trying to be funny or to have a moral.
Really nice game. Probably highlighting the goal would make it easier to understand where to move, and making it possible to skip the text you already read will make it even better. Anyway, I like it.
omg, this game was really one of the best i've played so far. The gameplay was very good, the graphics were okay good, but the sounds could be better. I really liked the story, and came in good mood by playing it. The ending and the point of the hole game was amazing :D 10/10

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
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.
short but good and kinda funny at the end
