[100th]

Excellent, just excellent

Beautiful, a gameplay I never saw before and a simple yet great story. I managed to get in the high scores and I still felt it was really challenging, mainly because the gifts and red balloon challenges are too hard.

Now you did it again

Just like with Coma, you've reminded us all platforming can be fun, have a deep atmosphere and tell a good story at the same time, without relying entirely on big chunks of boring action-delaying text.

Making so called "art games" these days is not an original idea (not a bad one either!), but making them as platformers and without killing the player's character not fucking once, for that alone you deserve an award... and you seem to have won one already, now that I look closely, even if it's not for that.

I go outside, buy a hat, get back in, put the hat on, sit here, and take my hat off for you.

AtmosGames responds:

The last thing you said... that's hilarious :)

Thanks for your thoughts! They mean so much.

[Shitty Fucking Art Game]

Excellent game, but in a way you wouldn't want

I tend to enjoy most (not all, of course) art games, even those popularly labeled as pretentious. I believe every game is a work of art, just as every novel or painting is, even the shitty ones. Therefore I think "art game" is a rather redundant term (much like "art poem" of something like that).

But you, you got a pretty fucking good art game here.
