Great demo, rather like how the health is determined ^.^ Also I found Tex in the game, was very well hidden. I am rather eager to see how this game plays out. Reading the read me file too, you mentioned about enemies and something automatically comes to mind for an enemy is like a robotic pin of some sort, just a thought really ^_^ Can't wait to see the final product by the way ^_^

This is truly stunning. The idea and the concept of the game is totally brilliant. I simply can't wait to play the final result because I know it will be fun. If there is anyway anytime you need help or anything. Just tell me, I'll be more than glad to give a you hand on something.

My computer says I can't download it without sending my login and password to the site. Can you host it somewhere else for those who can't access it there?

leave the username empty and type blowup in the password. The page should regenerate and then you download again.
I don't know why this site uses this window, it's a bit confusing.

When I opened it (after downloading), it opened in TextEdit, and all I got was a window containing several pages' worth of something completely unintelligible--it wasn't even using the english alphabet.

On a short note, what will the story of this game be about? I think instead of spikes, you could add shrapnel from various bits of metal. It'll fit the atmosphere much better.

Also, the Orca seems to stop me from sinking in the water when I try to deflate. Is this intentional?

I like your suggestion of shrapnels, ribbit, it will indeed fit the atmosphere. I think I'll also put aligned spikes where the scientists might have intentionnaly placed them.

There's a bug with dying in water, and I don't like how the character reacts with the whale but this is work in progress, ribbit!

Thanks for playing j;D

oooh, nice, cant wait to see the final result hehe

Though, one thing i might suggest? at least one room that would allow to be outright massive? XD

Seriously though, had the chance to play a bit with it, and it does show serious potential!

Great concept :D As for my suggestions for the game, a couple things sprang to mind XD

1: the Pressure vs volume levels of the tanks, either put some sort of decal/coloration on them to represent which it is, though more specifically than that, allow for either a tooltip or display showing how much is inside it, that way people can learn which ones they can go back to for more when they need it or which ones are one-time-use.

2: Allow patches to be stored for when you need them, like you can carry up to two in your hands and that way if there was ever you getting hurt and either going the wrong way or not knowing where a patch was, you'd still be just fine that one time.

3: The logic of the 50% being minimum is great, though it does make game mechanics a bit confusing, to solve this, I'd say add a top line to the gas levels box which has "the total gas levels - 50 = HEALTH NUMBER" and make the heath number in bold and red so it's easy to see and gauge instead of doing math to figure out where your health is, especially once you've got more than 2 type of gas in you.

Also I think the containers could use some work, as in how you utilize them. I'd say make it so that if you want to use a container you hold down a button. That way it doesn't mess up the platforming and you also avoid the getting stuck problem for the most part XD.

Great idea so far and I'm eager to see where it goes!

I think there's a lot of things that will change until my next release, ribbit!
And I'm not only talking about your suggestions j;P

that was really surreal...... almost like I'm in a dream/nightmare on my own D:

the chambers with the whale in the pool is also pretty weird and the creepy music just adds to the mysterious environment D:

This is awesome. Nothing more has to be said.

I really hope there'll be moer to it later, though ^_^

I found both of them AND I found a way to stand next to Tex on the platform he's on!

Can't wait for the next version of this! =D You did an excellent job on this, and it's an amazing concept. I hope the next one is even better, and you can get much bigger! X3

How do you load saves?

Sooooo Is this still being worked on?

Hey evaryone that follows this, ribbit!

I rushed the work to a playable state, but the project didn't progress much since then to be honest, sorry j:P)

But don't worrry, I will recover time and motivation for this project sooner or later. Just giving feedback about it is proof of that, ribbit.

Score! I'll stay tuned ^_^

i found that fairly enjoyable, if there are any later updates, i'd have fun playing it. well, me along with tons of other people.

I went straight for the spikes. Sorry! XD;

Je suis trop terrible. ^'===='^

hehe, ribbit, I did it a lot of times too... To test collisions of course.

is this still being worked on? it's very playable, collision and hit detection is great. although, at the end you can't go into the last room for some reason. really need to finish this.

Maybe you didn't see that it is possible to deflate, ribbit, to get into narrow paths.
If not, this was just a really short demo, ribbit. So don't worry there is probably nothing more to see.

I haven't been working much on this in the past year, I'm working full-time now, ribbbit.
But I remade the first few rooms to be more interesting while learning the mechanics and I started making ennemies that should appear later on

Thanks for your interest, ribbit.

EDIT: I meant that I have a 40h/w job now.

glad your able to keep a full time job. i wish my work would make me full time...


but if you say it's possible to get into that last room from the under-water room, then i'll keep trying. it keeps bumping me back to the room when i do try. persistence!

so, that's the room you were talking about, ribbit!
It's out of bounds, I made a room that connect this underwater passage with the secret hole in the ceiling of the first room, which is also impossible to reach.
Water areas will come later in futur versions, ribbit, and there will be a way to get underwater.

i can get underwater just fine. am i not supposed to? o.O

Just out of curiosity, are planing to finish this? Because I love it so far!

I'm likely too late for this... But I think the link is broken.

Fichier inexistant.

Sorry all, this Project is dead, omg I can't believe it's already been 7 years!
There was a couple of interesting ideas in that project that I will revisit in a future project but it's not in my radar anytime soon.

Sadly.
