Ha, sorry, this is just a placeholder page. I still need to make the game over the next two days :) Stay tuned!
Why did you submit a placeholder as a submission? You're supposed to submit *after* you've finished the game.
Amazing graphics. I got it to work fine. Click the button behind the L!
Great game!! Once you understand it, it's quite easy though. For everyone who is confused, you start by clicking the circle (it's a hole) behind the L in the title. Then keep hunting for the holes :)
For everyone who can't get it to work, the title screen is part of the game. The button is hiding behind the L in Delve! Just gotta look. Its a point and click with the mouse!
I love it and want to see more of it!
This was really great. :D
Really lovely work! Definite sense of exploration. Glad someone's still using my as3sfxr now that bfxr is out there!
I never saw it that way... My mind is trapped inside a skeleton...
Well, that's the most beautiful thing I've seen yet. Your intro logo was better than my entire game.
I really enjoy how this takes pixel hunting, commonly an annoyance, and turns it into a really engaging game mechanic through highly responsive environments and strong graphical work. Would definitely play a version of this that was 2 or 3 times longer, don't know if just that mechanic by itself would hold up much longer than that without some frills.
Crazy good artwork. Loved every bit about it. Wish it could be longer.
It was short but wow, super beautiful! Was that an Andross cameo?
Very nice graphics and feel. A bit short, but I enjoyed this. Awesome job!
Great design, really fantastic, altough it does lack real gameplay.
Wow I thought I was on Vimeo there for awhile, in a good way that is! The animation is just fantastic and not only are the art great the sound is also great. May have given a bit too high score for this ;)
Lovely graphics and neat idea. Even using a mouse, the "touch" mechanics feel very good. I wish it was more complicated though, or I had more reason to stay and play on each screen. Just wiggling the mouse around tended to "solve" each screen for me, so maybe if I had to actually click to push I would have to be more conscious of things? I'm not sure, but it could go in interesting directions if you keep working on it!
you have great talent for graphics! But like @Mclogenog, I wish it was more complicated (hard)
Those colors are just so nice. I played it 3time in a row, just to look at it again :)
WOW! The songs were great! The art was also really good!
I found interesting the each stage/scene were "beneath" each other, making a loop. It was a nice use of the theme. :)
It's very pretty, but that's about it. Barely a game. More like a picture book, except you click on it.
The game looks great! The art looks fantastic and the animations are very smooth.
Beautiful design. I loved it!
A little too easy though, it finished too quick :'(
Very very nice :)
How tantalizing! Shame its so short though, but not surprising given the art quality and timeframe. Graphics are really great, although I feel like I would have liked to see more "out-there" combinations like on the title screen.
What's there though is pretty cool. I like it.
incredibly nice and polished... so polished! only suggestion would be that the camera zooms into the portals instead of them expanding, to better give the impression that the viewer is moving deeper.
I keep playing over and over again because the art and graphics are too good to not see any less than four times. Especially the logo.
The art is awesome but the game is pretty boring though. Hope you update this.
Soooo artsy but reaaaal good!
Freaky but funny.
Nothing wrong with art.
Beautiful game with an interesting concept! Would like to see it expanded on.
I think you should first explain what to do. But I love the graphics and animations. Sound is pretty good also :)
holy crap this is great !
The art is just friggin awesome, too bad it's so short :O
There's a great design for a neat concept here, I hope we'll see more in the future !
loved the art style and music.. i had no idea what i was doing tho haha :)
This looks awesome! I also like the sound. More "Levels" would have been great.
Visually it's beautiful. And the music goes along well with it. It's just unfortunate that there's not a lot of gameplay to do inside this well-presented world! I think it could definitely fit into being one of those relaxing casual puzzle games if it were fleshed out a bit more. But nice work overall.
Now this looks good!
Its the kind of game that leaves you hungry for more, its just too bad that the "solutions" are so easy to find because of the huge cursor.
I especially enjoyed the facial graphics at the end!
The gameplay is shallow but the art is amazing and the beat catchy. Nice.
Wow! Great game or some kind of interactive movie, it reminds me Zoomqiult. Like it!
It's not exactly a game. It's an interactive piece of art. I very like the stunning visuals and sound. Not much of a gameplay though.
Interesting. More of an art piece than an actual game, but the art is incredible. I literally refreshed 5 times just to see that cool opening title transition.
the only problem with this game is: too short. It's a great experience and a incredible motion design. I wish I have this art on my LD29 game. Congrats.
Wow, such style! The graphics, music, and feel are really cool. Love it. It definitely feels a bit more like an interactive toy than a game, but that's OK. I enjoyed the short but sweet experience of it.
Simple gameplay but a cool experience. Trippy and organized at the same time.
I thought is was gonna be more interesting, it is a little interesting in some aspects i guess, but there is no much gameplay to be had. The visuals are colorful, clean and elegant, sometimes the FPS goes down on my machine, and the animation suffers. Overall a pretty entry. Not really sure what else to say.
The game is interesting, but it doesn't seem to do much besides reveal a dot when you mouse over it. I guess I was expecting a little bit more gameplay out of it.
However, overall the game was just beautiful.
I found your game beautiful, I wish there was more. Do you have a website with other stuff ? I went to supersogood.com and there was only a page full of gif :D
Love the art and music! The game also feels super fast paced and fun despite it being a point-and-click!
A short experience but stunningly beautiful and fantastic audio. Simple premise but just works so well. 5/5
looks like you didn't make it in time for the compo, but I really love the artwork and animations! Great job!
Your art is impeccable, both on graphics and music. I like the idea and would like to see it expanded on more gameplay. Awesome use of the theme.
It is really very beautiful entry, but it lacks gameplay so much
The artwork was extremely impressive, and I liked the music too. I found the actual gameplay a little weak. I guess in the end I wished there was more elaboration on the idea of clicking on a hole to make it more challenging. As it is, it seems more like an animation than something actually interactive. But it's still a very impressive entry!
as a fellow flasher all i can say is WOW! Absolutely amazing animations and i love the feel. well done and i cant wait to see more of this and your other work!
absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wish I had more stars to give for graphics and mood
Very artsy entry, but at least its really good art! Enjoyed the interactions while they lasted. Final screen is really nice. Overall top visuals and music, but you know - gameplay is a bit flat.
Amazing and simple!
Very Different. A beautiful use of the theme.
Wow awesome graphics really love that style! Nice take on the theme too!
This has lovely graphics and some excellent sound. It didn't feel a whole lot like a game to me, but so what. This is high-quality stuff.
Super cool idea. I was a bit sad that it was over so quickly (unfortunately I found that it was easy to see the item to interact with as it was usually the one thing not moving). Would have like to have seen additional layers to remove on each scene so that the transitions weren't so fast, but despite that I am super impressed with the entry. It's really cool as an interactive art, and certainly one of the more unique entries I've seen period.
Was rather short but I thought this game was incredible! the graphics were amazing to say the least.
So short! I finished it in a minute and was left wanting more. Pretty cool.
But one thing that I don't understand. I followed your development and saw that you made an empty compo submission, but then you finished the game after the first 48 hours? Shouldn't this be a Jam submission?
Cool, good example of how to make somthing simple very enjoyable through the choise of graphics and music :) Cool.
GORGEOUS. Not really a game but a great artistical achievement for 48 hours.
Out of context, it would look like it took weeks for you to make it. Kudos!

Ha, sorry, this is just a placeholder page. I still need to make the game over the next two days :) Stay tuned!
Aaand my Flash Player is too old to play this + Adobe dropped Linux support :/
I'm not sure if this technically qualifies as a game, but that art is just awesome! Well done!
"Hmm, it's just a white html page... where's th-OH MY GOD IT'S BEAUTIFUL."
The game is, needless to say, absolutely gorgeous. I loved soaking in the visuals while pushing things out of the way in my quest to find the hidden tunnel to the next colorgasm. I was a bit saddened when I reached and subsequently conquered the pre-simian Andross and revealed the crystal inside. I didn't want to click it for fear that it would end the game, when it did I was glad that the intro screen came up again and allowed me to start the game over.
The searching was fun, the animations and juiciness were spot on, but the length was just too short! Please make more :)
What a great game and really fun to play. It had a great charm about it.
Really fun to delve! But for me it needs a game mechanic but I guess I'm just a traditionalist. Can't argue with those amazing graphics though!
Absolutely stunning interactive application. You should work at google :p It was ,however , a bit short though. And gameplaywise there wasn't much to do.
Woah. This is the prettiest thing I've ever seen in my life. And that head at the end! Woah.
Nice graphics and animnations, good music, but the gameplay is a little too simple for me. Good work anyway.
I can't stress enough how awesome those graphics were. Very fluid. Love it.
I've played your previous games as well. You guys make some great looking stuff!
For me, this one scores better on mood than the previous two. It's not really a game, but at least it's not trying to pretend to be one (like my 'game' ;))
It has a good look! I'm glad this turned into a real game - I too was confused by the premature submission.
Game's so nice I played it twice. Ok I just played it again. Anyway, there is no reason to replay it except to look at it again. And people are doing that. This is almost art. Keep up the good work.
Wow, nice, has a nice and trippy feeling to it! There seems to be sth wrong with your collision routine though, as soon as i move the curser the whole thing sux CPU like crazy.
beatufifull idea. unique . great graphics and atmosphere. i loved it.
Easily the best graphics of the jam, a really wonderful aesthetic, though the gameplay is a bit simple.
Super nice, artistic game! I included it in part 22 of my Ludum Dare Compilation video series! :) http://youtu.be/7oB_8pUypJo
Hey! You have been featured in today's episode of Ludum Dare to Believe! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrGIZzJZ1DQ
Not so much challenge as a "game", but definitely incredible awesome art and atmosphere.
I can hardly call it a game in a common sense of a word, but that's definitely a very interesting experience. And probably most polished and stylish I've yet seen this jam. I'm very impressed, great work!
Utterly fantastic graphics, but very short, simple and easy. You have a great talent for visual design. I'd love to see what you could accomplish if you teamed up with an equally great coder.
Wow, that was surreal, but fun. I'm still not quite certain whether I played it right or not though...
Really nice graphics but a bit short, and not so much game in it really, could have added a bit more challange, maybe a timer or something on each screen :)
Really nice graphics but I was disappointed the game itself is not interesting..
Art & music are like.... GORGEOUS!
And it's enough for me.
I want MORE :)
Super slick and lovely graphics! It didn't feel like a game, but it was a neat experience. :)
Beautiful looking game, really impressed at all the amazing visuals you were able to make in the short time. Title screen was also well done.
Very attractive animation; the finale was lovely.
It would feel more game-like if there were multiple paths.
Those are some stunning visuals right there ! As a hidden object game, I feel like you could have done a little more, but I understand most of the time probably went into visuals and audio (the story of my own entry really, too).

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.

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 can't play the game for some reason, it just stays on the title screen.
