Loving it, this is what makes LD cool! Your game has a completely new mechanic, with a really good and original implementation of the theme. 5 start Innovation from me!
Wow! So simple and so innovative at the same time. Good job!
Really interesting proposal. It lacks content, but I think it could very well fit with a stealth game (yeah, a blind guy stealth game :-) ).
Very interesting mechanic nicely presented but could use some precise instructions.
This was really interesting and very unique. Great job, I really had fun with this!
Thanks guys. And sorry, I ran out of time before I could add more content. Wish I could add more levels after the deadline.
Wow! Extremely innovative! I've never seen anything quite like it. Great work!
I really like the idea and the execution, very original take on the 1D.
It's nice to see that the code really computes and projects boxes from a 2D world.
Great idea!
I got the idea of only having 1 dimension too, but I had no idea how that could be done in practice. This is excellent.
On the downside, it's extremely light on content, and a game like this *definitely* lacks immersion when there's no sound (footsteps, maybe bumping into things, maybe different ground surfaces).
If you don't make a version of this with sound, some's gonna have to.. *ahem
The graphical style is quite nice too, strong and simple.
Overall, I'd say 4/5 due to lack of sound, but full score for innovation and theme!
This was my first jam, so I spent too much time on computing the projection and designing the visuals to hint things like rotational/linear acceleration and the wall-bumping flash. I do plan on going further with the idea next year.
Oh, got mindblowed by the mechanic. Really interesting !
I would have a bit more contents, but really fascinating game.
This is a really interesting way to show the environment, even if its a bit confusing though :D
But who never wanted to "see" 360°
Really nice game :)
Very original idea, not sure how much the concept could be expanded but it would be cool to see.
Wow. This concept was really incredible, really unlike anything I've seen before. The minimalistic graphics were just wonderful, the dialogue really helped to make the whole thing feel more human, and the gameplay itself was really interesting.
It seems as if you should expand on this idea further in a post-compo version. I'd really like to see what you come up with if you do.
Oh, ain't this a clever proof-of-concept. Glad you already have plans for a post-LD version because this idea deserves to be taken further.
I feel like there is the seed of something really clever here (possibly a good mechanic to deliver a really emotional experience too)
Very interesting. This is a unique way to approach the perception of light, something I've never thought much about before. It makes me very thankful I have 2D binocular vision.
Tried it and loved it! Of course, this is way better than what I made (no innovation there). Looking forward to a post-compo version!
A crazy game! Great concept! I also tried to think how to get a "you only get one... dimension" concept done, but you really made a great job!
Okay, played this twice, first time I may have skipped the dialog a bit and didn't understand a thing, second time was a big eureka moment though, daaamn that's cool! How the hell did you do this? :o
This is quite an interesting way to present a 3D place. It makes me wonder (due to this only representing stuff on the horizon) how things would be presented if it showed everything in a person's vision from top to bottom as well. I guess the representation, instead of being a ring would be a circle, where the centre of the circle is forward (instead of your current forward which is at the top of the ring). Hmm, interesting stuff. I've wondered how I'd go about making a blind game before... Well done!
This is a brilliant take on the theme and an even better execution! Beautiful.
Really cool concept, great job! I included this in part 19 of my Ludum Dare 28 Compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out! http://youtu.be/EG4kRkM_i_s
Rated highly for innovation, really interesting gameplay mechanics. Shame there's no sound.
Interesting game concept. I like the idea, but it's very hard to image the objects in your head. The free run mode was very helpful to understand how things work. So it was no problem to win the hide & seek level. Would be interesting to have more levels, to see how hard the game can get.
Wow this is awesome, first time I've seen 1D depicted in any way in a game! There's definitely a lot of potential here. The game's short, but it does a great job at introducing the mechanic.
Like others have said, sound would be nice, but honestly I didn't feel like too much was missing without it (it held up well on its own).
Would love to see more! Very innovative!
Great Job! I'm glad I got to see this before the end of voting.
Genius!
Totally missed this!
Hope voting still works!
Good job!
I definitely want to see what you do with the post-compo version of this. I love the concept.
You totally deserve that first place for innovation! Brilliant!
Congrats! Really good concept and nice art style for it! I hope you continue working on it :)

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.
This was pretty interesting. Never really seen a mechanic like this before. I have yet to actually win at hide and seek. I'm sure I'll be back to try again!
