This game sort of strikes me more as art than entertainment. It has basic mechanics and isn’t necessarily full of “gameplay”, but you keep playing to get all the different endings. I certainly didn’t like it as a game, but it was a very interesting piece of art.

I’m a little disappointed that I couldn’t attack the helicopter with the sharks, place the depth charging boaters onto the fishing boat, blow up the boat operators with their own mines “so that they’d know how it feels”, or give anyone a balloon.

I really wanted to give that kid all of the balloons and float him out of there.

Sound work was excellent though and the initial interaction is very cool and a sort of ambiguously symbolic kind of way.

Ending C is from mines. D is from torpedoes. I found it a bit strange that there was a distinction there.

I’m too afraid of tentacles/sea monsters to enjoy this game.

Aha! I was thinking about ‘I Wish I Were the Moon’ and whether this was the same guy.
It isn’t, although apparantly the creator of this, Gregory Weir, openly admits ‘…Moon’s influence on this game:

This was nice, but I didn’t find it to be half as nice as ‘…Moon’, and I didn’t feel compelled to replay more than once, having got what I assume was the ‘best’ ending first time round, ‘cos y’know, I’m a conscientious leviathan.

My first play through I accidentally drowned the jet-ski guy, not seeing his air/life guage until it was too late. Then I was forced to defend myself as the soldiers and submarines came :( I just wanted a hug!

It’s okay qrter, the Majesty did not appear to me either. I did all the endings, and *spoilerz* it was hollow, and empty to me.

Seemingly non-pretentious, simple, ingenious. Fun.

Thanks, RPS!

I’ll be the one to come out and say it – I Did Not Fall In Love With I Fell In Love With The Majesty Of Colours.

I played it, it just didn’t charm me. It wasn’t a wonderful experience of discovery, it didn’t feel like a dream.

Mind you, I don’t have anything negative to say about the game, there’s nothing really wrong, it all just feels a bit tepid, it just didn’t ‘click’ with me.

I played it a couple weeks ago. Thought it was pretty interesting and enjoyable.

Great fun. People are talking about an easter egg if you get all five endings, but I can’t find it. Ideas?

I played this on Newgrounds a couple weeks ago, and I’ve been waiting for it to show up on some major blog. Really is a good game, everything about is well done, I thought.

@noexes: being fairly familiar with trying to get Flash sponsorship myself, as well as seeing others try the same, I can say that the amount he received is not exactly the norm. On past games I’ve helped with, the most I’ve received is around $500 (that’s split evenly with the other person who did most of the hard work). To be honest, I’m surprised he actually received that much, being that it’s not a particularly long game nor does it have instant bang-bang-shooty-shooty appeal – while admittedly it does have torpedoes and mines, it’s not an action game, which sponsors tend to find infinitely more bankable.
