I decided to create an account just to comment in here.
This is the proof that games can really be art. Games can be designed to experience and evoke complex emotions.
After you play this game... Think real hard about what happened. About what you just did...
its really a great game for what it is. BUT WHY ANIMALS??
Animal represent better the nature of the human being (ironically) with that number of pixels, and actually i always do animals as character, i love it and i guess that is like a kind of style or something.
This is sheer brilliance, for its scope. I'd love to follow the development team- they seem very promising.
The first round, I didn't realize the soldiers' words (and the monkey's) were actually written by other players like me (They were well written, thank god). It's very interesting that way; you partake in the game in a passive way and you're left to wonder about your fate. Was it you they were searching for- the traitor? None of us were, but maybe all of us are. It's all about giving the player with the gun a moral dilemma, or 'helping' them choose. The monkey and the tied-up soldiers create the game for the one with the gun.
Nice music!
Nothing to say, a lot to feel
LOL! "You just shot a goddamn monkey you better have a good reason"
