have to get a bus now...

Maverick Bus doesn't flip flop down one-way streets!!

(will be sure to play this when I get home to the warm and safe embrace of my mac)

[Terry]

:D

Can't wait to play this

[Hayden Scott-Baron]

Wow, that was amazing! o_o 
I wasn't quite prepared for that experience, but it was certainly that.

Well done Increpare!
I wish I had it in me to make such things.

[mewse]

Totally was not expecting that, but very, very awesome.

[increpare]

Windows version is here:

Windows (967KB)

controls:
left/right/space

Much love to terry for doing the windows build: having trouble getting the music library to work on the windows build on my laptop (and am away from my trusty desktop atm).

(thanks for the thanks guys; I have very mixed feelings towards it myself...think I mainly need to clear my head...).

Very cool game!

definetly getting one of my votes!

[Terry]

This is the sorta thing I wish I'd made Very cool.

[Bennett]

Wow, that was increpible.

I love the music, it was excellent at making me tense. Although my wife made me put headphones on..

[isaac]

Woah, this game is creeeepy.

Was it based on a specific CPB idea?

[increpare]

Thanks for the comments guys.

Yep:

“Here we have fetter’d and manacled Time, who wou’d otherwise slay the Gods.”

“Here we have fetter’d and manacled Time, who wou’d otherwise slay the Gods.”

A subtle idea! Somebody alert PIGScene!

Lovely dialog .

[eddietree]

Now, that's what I call linear gameplay.   

[Saker]

this is the easiest no-gameplay game i've ever played ... just walk and u r done  ..... i loved the dialog tho

[sergiocornaga]

Hee hee, he animates backwards when going left.

Because of this and (mostly) other reasons, I am really enjoying this game.

this is probably where I should wryly mention that there's an (only slightly) alternative ending, for those patient enough to figure the game out...

Ah cock.  I thought I had fixed that.  Bah I'll fix it some time today :/ apologies if this ruins the game for you... fixed

[cactus]

I really liked the style. Very inspiring 

[muku]

This was impressive. Visual style and the excellent music work very well together to create an intriguing experience. I guess it must be art, since I don't understand it. I could never come up with something like this...

[Tanner]

That was awesome.
Confusing ending, though.

[increpare]

Thanks for the comments guys.

Cactus, your mondo stuff has influenced a lot how I think of narrative structure as relating to games (the one that shows the most obvious influence in its basic structure is still in development...I must finish it soon though ... ).

Oh, I should say that the ideas behind this game, as with endless cavern, and several other ideas I have in the works, have all emerged from very fruitful discussions that I've had with haowan about technical matters.

Confusing ending, though.

Agreed.  Even pasting on a 'the end' would work pretty well

Other things, in particular, that I'm not happy with
1:sluggishness of movement destroys a lot of the geometrical beauty of the game, though the game doesn't reward an understanding of these aspects too much, so it's not too big an issue.
2:I've listened to the music so often now that I find it quite actively revolting; I'm willing to accept you guys's judgement that it's not all that bad though :/ 

I guess it must be art, since I don't understand it.
