This was a wonderful experience :D Very disappointed that Cry In The Corner didn't make you more thirsty though.
a little dull, but I suppose that's sort of the point. Really impressive in the audio-visual department, though.
Brilliant experience playing this. Top marks!
Is there any way to outlast the water supply?
A good theme game. I'm assuming you just always die and there is no other ending. The fact that you're actually a square was confusing to me at first though.
Beautiful game. I am really impressed with the atmosphere and overall setting. It made me think what would I do in a situation like this. Probably just cry in the corner a lot.:) Is there a possibility to survive? I would like to know.
Usually, I am very skeptic about minalistic pixel art, but in this case, it helps to build the immersive experience. Good way of telling a story.
Very fun! The art is amazing, I really love it, The "3d" effect is pretty nice too, I wonder what's the player and whats happening but love it. Maybe you can extend it to do more things like go to other rooms.
Soooo... what DO people call blogs these days?
Also, thanks for making this! Great experience.
Would have loved to have an indicator as to how much water I had left instead of finding out only when I just drank the last one. Yeah, no, I didn't keep track myself.
Weird. I'm not quite sure I was meant to feel. It was a kind of blissful death, as opposed to the panic you would expect. Definitely a memorable mood piece with beauty in its audio and visuals. At times it moved kind of slowly -- maybe a bit more prose would help? -- but in some ways that pacing may have helped the mood. Plus, the general minimalism of it is quite appealing. Overall, a really fantastic entry. Well done!
Love the art concept, and the classic music playing in the background. You really made me feel like I was in a bunker during a war... Very moody game :'D
Very immersive. I wasn't sad when I died, but the whole experience felt very real, if that makes any sense.
Hey! I mentioned your game in this post- http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2014/05/18/10-games-that-resonated-with-me/ , along with some feedback. I'd love to hear what you have to say!

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.
I love it! :D Great job
