Really cool game. Some very neat little touches to the storyline. Really made the game more fun to play also. And pretty cool graphics! Very good   Smile

So before you go pointing fingers trying to impress your boyfriends here on these rat infested forums, check your facts you butt. Better choose your next words wisely because I won't be coming off so clean next round. You butt.

I just finished it and I think it is one of the strongest entries. Very artsy and creative. : )

Also, just out of curiosity, do you spell 'off' as 'of'? Because it is like that in the game and in your post. Just wondering. : )

Oops! I have to fix that later when competition is over. English isn't my native tongue
so there might be some mistakes. I try to spell as correctly as I can, though  :3

Pretty cool.  You know I actually started a game a few months ago with the same concept of changing the background color to make blocks of the same color not affect you, except mine was a platformer.  Never got very far with it though, great minds think alike  Happy.  I was making it for that Australian competition where the theme was "color" so you might want to look into entering it into that, the prize was like $2000 Australian dollars.

I really liked the atmosphere, I think it's got a really good chance of winning.

This happened to be the first entry I tried, and I was very impressed. The theme and presentation are unique and the game certainly held my interest to the end. Very nice work.

A very well-put-together game, with innovative and interesting puzzle-based gameplay and a very neat art style. It's a captivating game, but I frankly do not understand the "moral" side of it. There is obviously meant to be one, but the game errs on the side of being too vague.

Still, though... I call it a winner, for the cleverness of the gameplay and the fact that it makes you think, even if it raises more questions than it answers.

Hey thanks for the link.. they work fine now (they were giving me internal server error that day when I asked)

I've played through the game and I liked it very much. Only thing I didn't like is that you can't move when you're facing a wall and trying to walk diagonally along it, it's a pain with latter levels Smile

I know this competition is over and this topic is pretty old, but i just wanted to say that I really enjoyed this game and think it definately was the best out of the games in this competition.  I was also wondering if there is multiple endings or not. 

Great game.  Definately can be considered a piece of art.
