Good
Good game, reminds me of clusure (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/vie w/480006) a little. However, the ending was very anticlimactic and, as others have said, the game as a whole was obviously heavily influenced by Limbo. That said, still a good game with an interesting morbid style.
Optimalization & Outro
The scenes with the water needs optimalization, there is too lagy and this game is unplayable. The end is too short and punch line is too speed. But great game, i like it.
Mmm, delicious.
A wonderfully dark and morbid game, easily my new favorite. I loved the animation, and with headphones on the atmosphere really stands out. 10/10.
On a side note, big ups to the review below me. I really wish people grew up with the game systems I did, instead of coming up spoiled as far as vidya games go.
Good start for a potential series of games
I've seen a few games that sported a black and white theme with an edge of creepiness to it, but this was unique in a way that was not at all unpleasant. Perhaps it was the raw element to it that was so enjoyable. Either way, my only complaint is that it was not longer and that it lacked a certain depth that only comes from experience. I say, friend, good work.
Inresponse to the review about limited peripherals
Firstly, a response to the review a page or so down about limited peripherals in video games:
Dude. First you're bitching about a small part in the game where you have to use just the arrow keys, and that you didn't get an option between WASD and the arrow keys. That's (partly) understandable, if only because it's still in relation to the game at hand. Y'know, the flash game. The game that takes up 8.6 megabytes on newgrounds' server, created entirely by a single author.
Then you segue into how you refuse to buy a wii and play any of the new games on it because they "force" you to play it with a "fucking wand," and that a mouse is a "better peripheral" for FPSs. Aside from the fact that that is COMPLETELY UNRELATED to the FLASH GAME that is RIGHT ABOVE THE REVIEWS, that is fucking retarded. I bet that, were you alive when great games like Duke Nukem 3D and Monkey Island were released, you would have bitched about them ADDING a mouse peripheral, demanding your numpad and command lines back.
You say that you would support the consoles more if they added a mouse and keyboard. I can at least respect you because you aren't bitching about 60fps and higher-rez textures, but that's as far as it goes.
Maybe if you had grown up on a variety of games and gaming systems, you wouldn't feel this way, and you might even be willing to try Nintendo's "fucking wand." Oh, and trust me: by not playing masterpieces like Super Mario Galaxy, Skyward Sword, Metroid Prime 3 and other great titles on the Wii, you are missing out big-time.
ANYWAY.
Back to the FLASH GAME that this review should be about.
The influence of Limbo is so obvious that I have to take at least one point off, but everything else that is added, including the extra surreality that even Limbo lacked, more than deserves the rest of the points.
The art style is really pretty, even though it's really hard at times to discern certain items from the background.
The story is confusing. I don't get why, after being helped out by the huge dinosaur thing, and then helped out again by the dude in the boat, he would murder the other guy who helped him for his eye. Maybe he wasn't supposed to be a good guy in the beginning, but that was just unnecessarily cruel.
Even for its few shortcomings, and its relatively short length, this is still a good game. 9/10
