Wow! What an amazing experience. I agree with Shaw, you nailed the mood! This the masterpiece is more than just the sum of it's parts. Well done
Crackin' little game :o) Tingly panic, atmospheric and spooky - vo adds extra oomph - supermint job by everyone :o)
Such great mood and art style! Loved the parallax effect. I wish the gameplay and controls were just a bit tighter!.
Example:
1 - the player doesn't move with the platform, which is really weird in game standards!
2 - most of the times you dash right into another trap, though this is more level design related.
Great entry nonetheless. Good job!
Gorgeous and very atmospheric. I was listening to "Disappearing" by Jessica Curry while playing - perhaps you could incorporate a strings part over your current atmospheric music - it actually works really well.
Gorgeous setting and mood. I must admit I enjoyed the mood more than I enjoyed the gameplay. I kept playing because of it though. ;)
Veary nice game. I love games like this. Can u continue this masterpiece?
The atmosphere is really cool with simple but efficient graphism and the sound is amazing. But the dash mecanic need small adjustments. Nice work.
OK SO... the mood, the sound and the concept are epic, love it
Great game and gameplay , especially the narration , and also thanks for playing our game , sorry for the screenshaking , but we would improve it as early as possible .

By far the best use of audio of all the games I've played so far. Loved the story too.
Nice mood and audio but something doesn't feel right. It's too short maybe I don't know. I expected more than a few dodges, sorry.
Wonderful freakin' mood. Love the atmosphere you've got going there! The sound design is lovely and mixes well with the artstyle. :)
Fantastic atmosphere. Really great graphics and sound design. Very good job.
I LOVED playing this game. And the audio was spectacular.
One of the best games I've played yet! Way to go guys! Loved the voice acting. Lighting effects were great! Very polished. Nice quick experience
So in love with the AMAZING audio and voice-over. Engaging story with amazing execution - great experience.
amazing audio that really set the mood very well. better voice acting than you hear in AAA. the graphics worked really well with the audio as well and it was a good interpretation of the theme.
the gameplay was nothing to write home about, and i didnt really find the game to be particularly fun.
overall its quite good though
Really great game with a fantastic mood. Helping to set that mood was the great narration and background noises. A little bit more gameplay would have really pushed this game to greatness. Awesome work!
Brilliant narration and I love the abstract art style. The platforming is a bit awkward since you do not move with platorms and the dash attack doesn't guarantee you'll land on them, but a brilliant setting nonetheless.

Mini Submission FAQ
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.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
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 at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
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. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
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.
A fantastic mood created by gorgeous graphics and wonderful audio, voice over had me hook line and sinker. Excellent work.
