Well, Mike ran in to problems getting ldjam.com working properly with about 12 hours left in the Compo, so this is the backup plan.

Interesting game. It was more like an interactive novel, but it was fun.
Got to the end, this was pretty cool yet quite confusing. I had no idea what was going on. Didn't detract much from the experience however, lovely art & animation.
Quite unique, I loved the feel of this.
Graphics are superb, this is more like a story but I liked the story so its ok.
The art and mood in the game is beauty
But. wat happening? in doing anything, always happeing something unique
didn't understand game, but this "no understanding" is good in your case
gj!
Wow! That was amazing! The concept is very interesting and the graphics are absolutely kickassing! I hope you guys will make this game much bigger and add in some more interactions.
Very great mood setting, at first i thought this will be very dark, but then there was happy ending yay! :D
Also great job on graphics and particles and of course audio, generally great over all :)
Awesome job, guys! Gotta say I was really stressed about that last step! Few! Love the snow drifting off the character after standing for a bit! Was it the new particle noise stuff? Excellent aesthetic (you can never have enough bloom ;-) )
Amazing!! Graphics are really to my liking! Having more options in each iteration would make this piece of art an outstanding game!
Surreal experience where I'm more the facilitator than the player, but nicely executed using the stage sets, weather effects. Cool.
That was a really interesting experience. The sound design was superb, and the sprites brought a lot of life into the world. It would have been neat to see a little more branching choices in the room changes to make it feel more puzzle like, but I suppose that might have lessened the narrative.
This was a really nice game. It had a lovely mood to it and the animations were very nice. As others had mentioned, having more options (yes and no instead of just interact) and different outcomes would've been great.
Loved the art and sound! Very intriguing experience. I wish I could do more though.
Really liked the visual style, not to mention how nice the story and transitions between areas flowed.
Really interesting idea.
I like the atmosphere the game creates.
WEll done!
Nice !
I really liked the snow and rain effects, great mood in all the game.
Nice small puzzle game with great atmosphere and art style. Very well done!
Excellent work! I really enjoyed the sound, graphics, and concept. It sort of unfolded this story about me based on my "choices." The implicit understanding of the connections of my actions was just right, not too in-your-face but easy to understand.
I don't know if this was a bug, but in the web version I couldn't stop moving right. In the windows version I couldn't stop moving left. I sort of had to tap the right button to stay still. It stopped moving when I interacted. It was kind of annoying.
Wow, the presentation and mood are incredible. A short and strange game, but it left me mesmerized.
Lovely little world! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/-Y1GOAhzfQA

Interesting! I didn't really get what I was supposed to do in the game, though. Nice artwork.
