I really wanted to like this game. The art style was different, and sort of cool in a sketchy way. It turned out to be more like a very simple visual novel almost. The "gameplay" was very limited, but the story was enough to keep me moving forward. The biggest issue in my eyes (pun not intended) is the infuriating blurring and sharpening of the background. After playing the whole game (which only took 5 minutes) I had quite a headache. Still, very nice, especially for a 24 hour project. Do you think you could disable the blurring thing though?

Sorry for the headache. Maybe that is why I have a terrible headache right now (I took an Advil, maybe it will make things okay...). The blurring and sharpening were me playing around with a bunch of little manipulations to see what kind of effects I could get (this is more or less the first time I've done that sort of thing). I like the effect but can understand how it can be painful. I will probably use it again in the future but in a more "experienced" fashion now that I've done it a few times.
Yeah the gameplay side isn't much. The painting thing was actually the main "point" initially but then the whole thing sort of just snowballed into...this. I've been playing around with different ways players can interact with stuff, in this case it ended up as a half-broken painting thing. o_O
I think there is some point I wanted to make with this game...it makes it to me of course, but it's probably lost on most. But that's okay, I didn't do that great of a job getting it across. Who knows..
Darn not loading....
I give half cus i didnt play it lol
Seagaia responds:
You should try it in a different browser then, or maybe your Flash Player's out of date!
Also it doesn't make sense to rate something you didn't play. That's like <some metaphor here>

Seagaia responds:
I dream and think about weird things too. And then I make games about them, in some ways, to confuse the hell out of people. Keep dreaming about weird things. And then make something from those (not necessarily games - maybe pottery, food, blankets, etc)
Really weird game. The music sounds like something of a horror movie. Would have been nice if there was an actual ending.
Unlike others i actually liked the music, it added atmosphere. the colouring in background is quite unique in a game. the drawing stick man isn't even that bad. I gave such a low score because of the conversation or whatever writing in the game. It's so damn small and hard to read that you really can't figure out what the point of the game is EVEN with the creator's notes.
