A cryptic quest to defeat the Agents of Gravity.
Made in Ren'Py.
Controls:
Mouse
(or Arrows + Enter)
Audio judging turned off because the game has no audio, sorry.
Tutorial is a little confusing, sorry :P
I can be reached at paul-newman-void-villain.tumblr.com. This is my first Ren'Py game! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Source code should be included in the folder, as it's a Ren'Py game.
(Post-LD, I will probably expand/extend this game to about twice its current length. (And add audio.))

The idea of combat via dialogue is interesting, but I'm not sure if it's framed in the best way. That the tutorial combat somehow makes less sense than the combat that follows doesn't help.
The graphical effects are nice; you managed to convey different personalities from just basic silhouette well (though how the eyes and mouths are done feels out of place).
A good first shot, though!
Very wierd. I like it, even if I don't always know what I'm doing. It feels different and interesting, I'd love to see this concept expanded upon.
This is a really neat idea of a game, though picking no for the answer pretty much got me through most the prompts.
I think the art style is very interesting and the premise was interesting and innovative, but the ideas never seemed to come together. There were several moments where the game was trying to explain to me what the premise was, but I don't feel like I understood it.
I definitely like that it tried to do something different, though, and would love seeing this idea developed a little further.
Visual effects are nicely done. It didn't have any music though, right? I think that could have enhanced this game a lot.
Troll simulator. Goal appears to be to annoy the enemy until they leave haha.
Awesome ! I love it ! Sooo cryptic and the graphics are crazy too. I was completely into it to the end !
I liked the concept of having text based battles, but I couldn't figure out the game.
Nice use of fractals for the background visuals! :) The characters, for me, looks like they've popped out of Radiohead's "Pyramid Song" video. Nice one! :)
The story is...weird, but in a good way. :) The way you wrote the dialogue, together with the visual style, gives the game that surreal feeling that's pretty nice.
Great one! :)
I have no ideea what I played. I liked the visual style though.
Very interesting idea, but I couldn't figure out how to beat the second enemy at the house encounter, and since I had to restart from the beginning each time it became tiresome to try again rather quickly.
Made sure to save very, VERY often in this game. Had a lot of fun. Has a nice pacing, and a strange sense of humor. I like it!

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.
I think I like this game, it's quite avant-garde
