damn npcs
these guys were worse than ashley from re4. Seriously though, interesting game. I didn't get as much out of it now than I would have probably 5 years ago, but it was still very poignant as you stated in your synopsis. Though I have to wonder if the humans were specifically out to kill the alien or if there was some sort of a civil war going on and you just happened to be there.
Hey now, be fair: Ashley's voiceover was waaaaay more annoying :)
What you're wondering, well it was designed to work either way. Very different meanings depending on which you choose.
woah, wait a minute...
...Oh, geez, I think I'm actually crying. I thought my eyes were just itchy.
Is it possible to cry over a computer game?
Yes.
Personally, I've always considered crying to be a hallmark of a good story. People tend to remember times they cried. It sticks with you. I didn't really expect ImmorTall to be powerful enough to make people cry, but you're certainly not the only one who has said they did.
love it
this was the perfect game at the perfect time it started raining when the alien died lol good backround good story line kinda wierd audio ut all together awesome. does the aliens friends ever come looking for him/her???? hint hint
Hint hint, indeed. Perhaps they do. Perhaps he even gets back up and goes looking for them?
More than Just a Flash Game
When people think of Flash games, they think of some crappy, poorly-animated game without a focused plot.
ImmorTall, however, is not just a flash game; it is a story. You presented this game very well, showing the story, not telling it. It seems as if the alien is growing with love. ImmorTall did not need any complex graphics, only a touching story.
Not only was the game itself good, but you created superior music. It was mysterious, yet sad at the same time. It almost scares me (in a good way, of course).
ImmorTall is definitely one of the top 5 Flash games I've played. Keep up the good work!
That's high praise, thank you.
The music was probably so mysterious because I don't know how to play guitar and don't have proper recording equipment, but I didn't let that stop me :)
Awesome
It just felt awesome playing this game. too bad the alien dies at the end..
