    Wow, this looks amazing, how soon until we can have a video?

    Kind of an odd request but do you think it would be possible to get one of your artists to shape that promo art to fit the iDevice screen, it would make a great background?

    A big props from Spidey146 to all the people working on this.

    unfortunately, i thinkthis just doesnt seem like my kind of game. i really dislike the idea of having to constantly run in one direction until i hit a wall

    i think it's worth that amount of money. ok, so it's not exactly my type of game but it looks like it's a polished app and it at least deserves to be priced at 1.99. 2.99 might not be overdoing it

    The background artworks are very nice.
    The guy moves like a spastic monkey, this should be improved a bit. ;)

    Hehe, no, that's to much, we wont the game to be affordable for most people.
    1.99 is more like it. The game is content heavy and will have a few content updates after release.

    The art looks very similar to Makoto Shinkai's work.

    The art is horizontal so it will need to be cut in half to fit a vertical iPhone and look good. But sure, send me your email and we will make one for you if you like :)

    Fascinating. A despairing metaphor for the aspirations of the common working man -- his desire to rise above the quotidian desolation of his life, and the ulitmate futility of his efforts.
    Bleak, and quietly heartbreaking.
    If only all games were so artfully thought-provoking, and even profound...


    Naaahh..
    I'm just screwing with you.
    This looks like good, silly, casual fun.

    Watching the video, though, I was kind of thinking, "where's dude think he's going?" Because that might be dangerous, you know?

    Anyway, looks cool.

    Yeah at first I thought miyazaki like everyone else, but that wasn't quite it. Definitlely more of a makoto shinkai look and feel. I love how that man captures afternoon thunderstorms. Just the stills alone are enough to almost get me teary eyed with nostalgia.

    Well, we are not really sure where he thinks he’s going…. and I think he’s not to sure ether.
    But it’s possible that he lacks free time and adventure in he’s hard working routine life. He’s had enough, and wonts to do hes own thing.
    When he discovers these mysterious platforms he cant hold back on he’s curiosity and starts exploring. Letting he’s curiosity take over, igniting the passion in him once again, making him feel free

    Maybe! it’s just so simple that he promised the love of he’s life the moon and the stars, just that he took it a bit to seriously! We are still not sure….

    We hope the players can find the true reason

    Yes, that artwork is very "Voices of a distant star" with the perspective and a person looking up

    Thanks, I dont know of a 2D game for the iPhone with this much details.
    We should post some nice gameplay vids within 10 days or so.
    We just need to add a few more things to the game before we do so.

    Is it just me, or does the title image artwork resemble Studio Ghibli? lol
