If it were a screensaver you wouldn’t play it for three minutes, notice that you are thick and black and that you are consuming golden creatures, see your tentacles grow faster and more legion, listen to that music, and realize that you are a nightmare. And then you wouldn’t choose to keep playing.

I appreciate that saying this should be a screensaver acknowledges how pretty it is, but no.

This is the kind of games that opens new area of feelings within video games. Always, fear, competition, achievement ; why not just being sad for a while ?
Mix it with the procedural music of Everyday Shooter and you’ll have Everyday Gardener.

I loved this. I played for about 5 minutes after realizing that there’s no end. Getting your Sun cursor fully filled out on the 5th level is the technical “end,” after that the winged angels just keep respawning. Yes, this should totally be a screensaver. Oh, and someone should tab the guitar part from the score, which, incidentally, is in .ogg in the data folder. :D

I’m glad this game exists, but i wish it was a screen saver.

Its seems to me to be playing with your expectations (you are the hero) and the apparent image (you are eating fairy angels!).
Its darn purdy though.

Nnrgh. Interesting, lovely music and graphics, but level three was far too much for me.

Wow, what a depressing game, beautifully animated though.

Maybe the game’s just telling you you should be less goal focused as that only seems to upset you. Just sit back, relax, take chances when they come, and if you miss them, no big deal, they’ll be another one soon.
