FISRT!!!
ReplyDeletewow such an amazing amazing game. incredible, original ideas and gameplay.
ReplyDeleteIt's weird, I just finished this game here in California on November 16th, but here it is on a November 17th post. I mean, I just finished it... but that was yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI loved it.
ReplyDeleteGame started. It keeps telling me to walk into the black bubbling wall. Everytime I do, I get knocked back. Over and over and over and over. Is this a bug?
ReplyDeleteLovely game!
ReplyDeleteJessica: it's not a bug :-) You should find a way to make the black wall go away
I did, I tried everything I could think of. It might be a lovely game, but it has the worse beginning part in the history of games.
ReplyDelete@Jessica: try walking in the opposite direction
ReplyDeleteTried that, tried pushing every key on the keyboard and tried holding every key, walking while holding every key, tried going backwards, tried jumping... absolutely everything I could think of, and... nothing.
ReplyDeleteGreat game. ^^
ReplyDelete@Jessica: Try turning around and standing still.
Same thing... nothing. That's why I think it's a bug.
ReplyDeleteOh well, won't kill me to skip one game on here lol.
Hi, I'm new here (this is the first time I've posted something, but have been playing escape games a lot). Nice page, Bart Bonte, I visit it every day:)
ReplyDeleteAbout this game, weird, because it's so slow, but I somehow liked it. Especially the swings...
Wonderful game! I love the art and the music! It has a great little story with simple gameplay. Great choice Bart! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteWow! A beautiful, original game. (Jessica, don't keep going into the wall of pain. Turn away from it until it is gone, then you can move forward.)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bart!
Wow!
ReplyDeleteLovely...some people write songs or poems, some people make games...
ReplyDeleteLoved the imagery used, the whole idea of what the people teacch you and how they advance you through the game (eg the lover teaching you to swing and turning your world around [both in the story and the gameplay]) either that or I'm putting meaning in where there is none =D. Also like how they start appearing when you do their actions (eg best friend appears when you jump). Great game, thanks for showing it us Bart
ReplyDeleteFor those that enjoyed this game the author also made two others. Maybe not the same sentiment, but nice designs:

The guy who wrote it says on his site that there are multiple endings, but I only found one, where the dog comes back.
ReplyDeleteAre there other endings?
In my ending, he reunites with the girl. I don't know how I could have gotten to any other ending - it's not like there were any choices along the way.
ReplyDeleteIn my ending, I got his friend that died.
ReplyDeleteI also got the girl ending. How do you get the one with the dog? Is it even possible to get the green guy to come back?
ReplyDeleteI got the DOG ending.
ReplyDeleteI only had the girl ending...until just now when I had his boy companion ending.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, but I think it may be correlated with either (a) how many times you fall, or (b) how many times you hit the wall of past memories.
After I start swinging with the girl nothing else happens... Does it go on?
ReplyDeleteYay! I finally got the dog ending! Now to get the green guy to come back...
ReplyDeleteLOVED it!! I got the dog, now off to try the others!
ReplyDeletePerhaps if you run past the swing in the last sequence?
ReplyDeleteIt was absolutely great! I just LOVED it! And I had the "friend" ending...
ReplyDeleteHow do you get the "friend"/green guy ending? I can only get the girl and the dog.
ReplyDeleteNice game! :o)
ReplyDeletei had the girlfriend
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous 20:09 : I really don't know... The first time, I went a lot of times into the wall but I didn't fall with the friend = Friend ending
ReplyDeleteThe second time I never went into the wall but I felt with the friend = Girlfriend ending...
Did someone find how to get the dog ending? Or how it works?
I can only get the dog and the friend in my case.
ReplyDeleteI got the dog for rushing through the thing without falling/crashing into the wall. I tried crashing a lot after that but it didn't help.
I got the friend when I got stuck in one of the jumps after the friend flashback. Was playing around with the wall when I got stuck on one of the jumps cos I spawned without enough difference. Eventually after a lot of falls and jumps I spawned on the other side. Jumped a lot after the girlfriend flashback as well.
I think the game is awesome. It's simple, yet draws you in. Too bad I can't work out what brings which ending XD
awww! I thought he wasnt with me...
ReplyDelete... but that was yesterday
that makes me want to cry!
Fun little game.
ReplyDelete@Someone(haha) I agree, but in a good way!
ReplyDeletecouldnt continue cause i got stuck on the lvl where you jump over buildings...... i shall forever fall :P
ReplyDeletejohnnywhy2 fits on yr page even better, casual gamplay,, cool thanks
ReplyDeleteI still can't get the green guy at the end. Is there anyone who knows how to get that ending? If you do please post how to get it! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJust a guess, since I just got the dog ending for the first time, the game knows what your local time is (the clock in the hospital), so maybe the ending is based on the time of day???
ReplyDeleteI played it three times in a row. First I got the girl, then the dog, then the girl again. Weird...
ReplyDeleteThank you Fikjen! It does have somthing to do with the clock in the hospital waiting room! I reset the clock on my computer to 6:25 AM and I got his Friend to come back at the end. I realized that if both of the clock hands are in the "orange zone" on the clock you will get the dog at the end, if they are in the "green zone" you will get the friend, and if they are in the "pink zone" you will get the girl. Interesting... Thanks again Fikjen!
ReplyDeleteWoah great little game. Thanks, Bart :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful game!
ReplyDeleteI got the flying saucer ending.
ReplyDeleteAnybody else get that?
The Friend died, the girlfriend left...but what happend to the dog?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteBut it gave me goosebumps all the way through.
I got the friend ending.
lol I fept falling at the swing part because I was so annoyed at how slowly it was going.
The endings actually have to do with what time you play it- between 4:00 and 8:00, you get a certain ending. BEtween 8:00 and 12:00, you get another. And between 12:00 and 4:00, you get the final ending. I can't remember exactly which ending is at which time, but I know that it shows it on the clock in the hospital scene. (Before the friend dies)
ReplyDeleteWonderful game. I absolutely loved the music and the idea of it all. Though it took a while for me to figure how to play the game in the beginning.
ReplyDeleteawesome game!!!!!
ReplyDeletegave me goosebumps...love this game and got all three endings...it did have to do w. the clock thingy great game!!!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I can't play this game. It makes the link to the website and then I just get a black screen. Anybody else got that problem too?
ReplyDeleteThis made me cry. Such a beautiful game :') I got that his friend died.
