First!
ReplyDeleteI kinda feel it would be breaking tradition not to write it :o)
I've read lots of comments about this being beautiful and moving, but don't really get if it actually does anything??
don't get it either...
ReplyDeleteUmm.. WTF?!
ReplyDeleteFree world full of beauty,
ReplyDeletetoday i swim until you come...
Nice art game.
So, first to finish the game?
ReplyDeletevery nice
ReplyDeletea very nice game! loved it!
ReplyDeletefor those who don't understand- try to play with the yellow and the green words...
Very nice game, great choice of music too.
ReplyDeletehuh?
ReplyDeletethis is so beautiful, at first i didn't get it, but it's just so mcuh more. beautiful.
ReplyDeletehold a jelly untill the word becomes holdable then the rest should make sense
ReplyDeleteLoved it!
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed this one! Just plain fun.
ReplyDeleteI am having trouble with the game aspect of it and it makes me sad because I want to see the rest of the message.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love the concept of this game and it has such a lovely story and message. :)
ReplyDeleteAlternate ending:
ReplyDeleteFree world
full of beauty
today i swim
better by myself
Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteCheck out passage by jason rohrer if you like this.
ReplyDeleteOkay I guess I am missing something. When the page displays there is a cyan rectangular box in the middle of the screen and some writing to the right ("Today I Die" go here after playing, etc.)
ReplyDeleteIt seems to do nothing at all. I cannot get any reaction to mouse or keyboard. Is that the joke that it is "dead"?
try harder, iguanaman
ReplyDeletereally loved it... it took me a while to figure out what was going on but i thought it was beautiful.
ReplyDeletehmmm...hmmm....it was okay....kinda strange...
ReplyDelete"Trying Harder" doesn't make it work. There is simply a cyan rectangle and nothing else. I can look at walk-through videos and see there is supposed to be graphics in that rectangle but there isn't any.
ReplyDeleteSame thing with FireFox or IE and my flash player is the latest version.
great game! thanx 4 posting bart
ReplyDeletemy final is:
ReplyDeleteFree world
full of beauty
today i swim
until you come
how romantic!!

ReplyDeleteI don't get it......
ReplyDeleteTHIS WAS AWESOME
ReplyDeletetook me a while to understand what to do though
Free world
ReplyDeleteFull of beauty,
Today I swim
Better by myself
Was one of my endings. To get this one
SPOILER SPOILER
At the end, instead of dragging the woman to the man or vice versa, collect all the golden bubbles into one area and drag the woman into it. =]
That's beautiful. Love it.
ReplyDeletesimple and sweet.
ReplyDeletegame-n-art game
simple and sweet.
ReplyDeletereal game-n-art game
--- TIP n SPOILER ---
Once you've lightened a jelly try to light all the jellies on the screen. there will be only lightened ones that will come up to the screen.
Is this by the same person who made The Majesty of Colors? I really loved that game, it's really artistic like this one and it hits an emotional chord. Anyone who reads this should play it.
ReplyDeleteI cant get past the bit where all the devils eat you..
ReplyDeleteyou have to change the bit at the top from Painful world, to free world, but i never have enough time to move it
:(
This game is really touching to me and it almost happened to me to. I was thrown in the ocean by my "friends" and ended up choking.
ReplyDeleteDamn that was deep... touched my heart
ReplyDeletei dont understand level4 i need help and fast
