My now not so horribly broken first ever game.
Mac & Linux versions are unconfirmed as working at this time.
I fixed the game breaking bug I originally uploaded this game with :D This game is now playable :D
Bonus in code: see stuff I'm too incompetent to do yet. Also see my many inefficiencies.
tools:
Unity
Paint.NET

The game is pretty nonfunctional for me. Words appear on the left and there is a red ball in the center. Other then that nothing happens. It doesn't respond the space key either.
If you can't get this running on ubuntu try:
sudo apt-get install libxcursor1:i386 libglu1-mesa:i386
Sadly can't get past the intro text, but it is pretty intriguing from what I was able to experience. You should try fixing it, you're allowed to address basic errors like this after deadline if I recall correctly.
Yeah, the bug is the red 'bubbles' not being destroyed when you press space. Nothing works :P
If you press space rapidly before one appears, you'll get to see the 'ending'
I don't understand this game. But I like the way you pictured "death" (the visual representation for losing condition).
I know I died 2 times while trying to play this, but I still don't understand. I feel bad for losing something, so I can't vote, I think.
The controls don't seem to work, and don't sound so depressing in the description xD
oof, I wish you had included some way to speed along the intro text. I can't get past the text either but it seems promising? Don't be so negative though! Making a game in 2 days is hard stuff.
Web format of the game isn't online. The Windows format isn't playable.
Thanks for your input, Recon. The web issue has been sorted, though the Windows format seems fine to me.
Interesting. I like the feedback/increase in heartbeat and sky color. I got confused on the directions. Basically "hold space to get bubbles" means press space when the red spheres show up.
Funny how the little story keeps you curious, despite the simple mechanics. Really original!
It's very different; not bad, just different. It's also worth mentioning that while the mood was evident, it was also rather confusing. I understand how I was supposed to feel, it just didn't make me feel that way.

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 gave it a go... the intro text was getting rather existential hehe
I was looking forward to doing something but it seemed to be stuck on a line of text with a heartbeat in my ear.
Very arty..
