Really cool concept. I donated.

Do you think it will be successful?

teej• 18 years ago

Absolutely. From a game play perspective, it's really good for a few reasons. It has progressive learning down well - the first five or six skills you learn come seamlessly and are paced out appropriately. It has clearly labeled goals and progression. It's easily uderstandable and straightforward on how to interact with it. It let's you tinker around and learn in a low-risk environment. They did LOTS right.

In the end, it's just a puzzle flash game, but that being said, there's a lot more hope for flash games these days. Distribution through Kongregate and advertising through Mochi Ads can bring in great revenue. -Great- flash games are also getting ported to the console world more and more, with Alien Hominid and fl0w as great examples.

I really enjoyed it. I also think this would be a lot of fun if offered through the arcade section of the 360 or the like. Would sound great trough the surround sound.

I think it has the potential to gain enough traction to make it to the XBox and PS3 network stores. A few of my friends already want to buy it.

Gaming via the process play you say!? Wow.

True of all games, I suppose, but did you play it? It's pretty fun.

Very original, it managed to just burn an hour of my life that I'll never get back! Has anyone got past 2:5 yet? I for one couldn't...

I've never seen a game as beautiful before.

Incredible.

I think it would be great if you introduced bad guys as a light-stream thing that made really ugly dissonant sounds, so you would have to block those.

It's not my game, but once their site comes back up I'll send over your idea to them. Good idea. :)

Truly beautiful game - definitely sucked me in for 30 minutes

In case anyone is wondering, you can quit the game and continue from where you left.
