This is my game for Ludum Dare 29! I decided to use the theme, "Beneath the Surface", in two different ways.
The original idea for the game was slightly abstract; the main concept is that you are in a coma of sorts and you have to find the memory shards in order to piece your soul back together and wake up.
Everything in the game was made by me, except for the fancy font. I was gonna be entering in the compo, but I ran out of time.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
Built from scratch in 72 hours using FlashDevelop.
For anyone who's lost:
- There are 5 "Memory Shards" (the glowing things)
- 2 of them are behind locked doors; collecting a key opens a door

Wow, completely different. So calm and gentle. Also the colour composition is really nice.
I didn't get what I was supposed to do... I kind of held the direction in different ways for a while and didn't see anything happening. Maybe a little early help?
Art style seemed on point.
So deep. Anyway, the audio is excellent, I'm using headphones and I thought the sound coming out of my room it was really realistic. Good game!
Nice mood in the game, but I think that the gameplay could be more fast paced.
I really liked the atmosphere! The sound and graphics worked really nicely together. I didn't finish the game though, after I found tree or four "wake up"-spheres I drifted around for a long while and found nowhere to go.
A really atmospheric game. I love how the cold colors, the ambient music and the subtle sound effects added up. Really, a great job.

Whoa i agree with Recon, the sound when the game starts seems to be in my room haha great atmosphere too ! I wish there was more to interact with
Nice work, it has a really good sense of scale and generally ominous aura
Really nice looking game with a great atmosphere but it wasn't really very fun to play.
Still, nice job at conveying such a nice little world. Great work!

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.
I really liked the art for the sky, great work!
