Amazing message.
Nice pixel graphics and really calming music, But i don't know how it fits into the SCALE theme. (Maybe comparing yourself to the clouds and the mountain)
Quite the experience - didn't expect that! Less of a game if more of an experience, but still totally worth trying out. Thank you!
sooo beautiful! it evokes so many emotions, i loved experiencing this game!
I like it a lot! My interpretation is that you've used the ladder theme in the intensity of the character's emotions when he wants to return to the mountains. Is it true?
Really cute and simple way to tell a story, would be better if I can see more about scale in the game.
good game you also could try mine =D
Beautiful narrative. Perfect music and art style. Great work!
Loved the writing and art style although I do agree it doesn't seem to fit the theme that much. Still, I enjoyed playing it and almost left me teary eyed. What a beautifully told story.
This game spoke to me and made an impact on me. I think it is perfect as it is. I hope to make something like it one day. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
It's a very nice story -- a little trite -- but in the way it's told is so heartfelt. It's great how you used the computer to tell the tale. I'm a little less clear on how it matches the theme... I can kind of make a stretch to get there.
So moving and beautifully written. The story unfolded smoothly leaving me with a kind of emptiness, or filling. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
A very heartfelt story! 🙂
For all the profound melancholy you managed to add some lines that are kind of funny in their sadness: “Your boss gave you an above average performance review. Your salary will increase by 1.7% this year. The inflation rate is 3%.”
The pixel art was nicely done, and the gameplay was simple and intuitive - it did not get in the way of the story.
Very nice! Good job! 😄
so good
Great story, and fantastic artwork. I really enjoyed playing through this story!
Very well written!
Very moving take on the theme. I wish it didn't stop so soon...
Beautiful solid game! Existential sadness appeared while passing, heh
Loved everything about this game :)
Especially the music, art and the little guy walking on the art.
Super inspiring
Beautiful game, left me in a flux state. Love it.
I loved the writing, art and music in this game. Left a powerful impression for such a small game.
