Here is a link to my first release. I was asked to make a new thread for it. It's an intermediate, learning thing. IT IS NOT ZLYTHY! And it's not much of a game either. It's actually based on a nightmare. It is tangentially related but again, THIS IS NOT ZLYTHY! Windows only, 123MB: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2929782/Install-hmiad_v1.0.zip

Swim around, listen to the music, then drown. Lol, that's all there is to it.

I enjoyed it. Very simple, I wish you were a bit more ambitious with it, but I suppose that's what Zlythy is for. Do keep in mind a purpose or that drives the experience, or at least pieces of ideas that can be put together afterwords if you want to be more dreamlike.

It's probably too simple/generically sad for anyone to take seriously, but I love little word experiences like this.

Thanks for the feedback! First and foremost, it was a learning experience. For Zlythy to be fully realized, I determined that there were a lot of intermediate steps I had to go through to get there. Zlythy is BIG. It's gotten bigger. The funny thing is, the Zlythy levels originally weren't going to be much more than Help Me, I Am Drowning.

Before I continue with Zlythy, I'm going to do a proper game; COMA is going to be a fully 3d hidden-object puzzle game.
