[It came from outside]

I thought it was good. Not great, but good. The idea was simple, and it was easy to see where it was going, but it did have some emotion to it. I did like that a lot of stuff was left to your imagination, like what happened in the world as a whole...Admittedly, some of the text could use editing, and it might be a little overly dramatic at times. The graphics were simple, but actually I liked that; it brought me back to really old computer games, where you have to work to figure out what's going on, and somehow it makes it more eerie. Anyway, a nice effort, and if you keep working and practicing, you might go far!

Thank you! :)

Sans nom, et sans mode d'emploi.

[The Doubt]

...What?

The Doubt

[Metanoia]

Siiiigh. All right, time to go through the logical flaws.

"He does not wish that any perish". So this all-powerful being has created a world where people are tortured through random accidents, where they get diseases, where people kill each other and are never punished...If "He" were all-powerful, why wouldn't he just let everyone live forever? No, I guess "He" wants us all to jump through hoops and arbitrary rules, for "His" own amusement.

"You have to choose to serve God. But you can't." Then...what's the point? Why am I even playing this game?

I went through and I accepted the existence of logic and such, but I occasionally saw these hellish flashes of all these winged people menacing me. Disturbing. I thought those were the RIGHT answers. Anyway, that's probably just a bug or something, it's not important.

"The only way Absolute truth, knowledge, and logic make sense in the human experience is through the existence of God." Uh...What? Whaaat? I can't figure out the "logic" here. See, we know the universe exists, and we use logic to figure things out about the universe. But why does that imply the existence of an invisible sky wizard watching our every move and judging us on arbitrary rules? We don't know where the universe came from, but maybe it just...happened? Just because the universe has a certain order, as in like physical laws, it doesn't mean it's all controlled behind the scenes by some being.

See, it would be EASY to believe in God. It would be very comforting to imagine that there's some plan behind everything. It's HARDER to imagine that there isn't really any point. It's harder to decide to care for others, to help the sick and the weak, to make the world a better place, NOT because some superbeing told you to, but because you decide it's the RIGHT thing to do.

And yet, the more you learn about religion, the more it becomes obvious that it's all a reflection of human desires. I mean, basically Jesus said "We should forget about all the rituals and decorations and just focus on being good people", and then Paul came along and said "This Christianity thing is nice but it needs more rituals and decorations", and nowadays Christianity is all megachurches and huge donations and oppressing homosexuals...Sorry, I prefer to focus on HELPING people.

Speaking of which, after seeing my gravestone (but I thought it didn't MATTER if I died?), there was a quote from the Christian Bible. Why wasn't there something from the Koran? Or the Talmud? Oh, right—out of ALL the religions in the world, ONLY ONE is "proven" by "logic"...yeah, right.

No, I guess "He" wants us all to jump through hoops and arbitrary rules, for "His" own amusement."- It is curious how you intended to point out logical flaws and ended up exposing your own.
First, who says the "accidents" are random? The might be caused by neglectful drivers.
Second, in the real world people are punished for killing other people. Just read a newspaper or watch the news.
Third, Fallacy of Irrelevant thesis. The fact that bad things happen is irrelevant to the Omnipotence of God. Furthermore, by what standard can you tell good from bad in your worldview? Also, God doesn't have to bow down to your demands just because you don't like what's going on around. After all, He IS God and you are not.
Fourth, "No, I guess "He" wants us all to jump through hoops and arbitrary rules, for "His" own amusement."- Aren't you just jealous of God being God? Are you saying it is wrong to be arbitrary? Then , you shouldn't arbitrary say He want us all to jump through hoops.
Fifth, ""You have to choose to serve God. But you can't." Then...what's the point? Why am I even playing this game?"- You know, quotations marks have the simple task of recalling the exact words from another source. When you add or substract words from the original text, when discovered, it tells us you might be trying to lie about what was said. Now, the original text is: "Now, you must change your mind about God in order to be granted entrance to Heavens. But to tell the truth, you can not do it. In other words, you are incapable to choose to serve God and keep your promise. Nobody can. It has to be given by God. And that's why you are here."- It means, God produces the repentance in the people hearts by his mercy. The point is: You might not be one of the chosen for repentance. God gave you the opportunity to interact with this game and still, you are fighting Him.
Sixth, "I went through and I accepted the existence of logic and such, but I occasionally saw these hellish flashes of all these winged people menacing me. Disturbing. I thought those were the RIGHT answers. Anyway, that's probably just a bug or something, it's not important."- Come on, now. To dislike the game for your own reasons is one thing, but to lie in order to discredit it, is low. If you choose the Right answers you will get nice soothing images. If you choose the wrong answers, then you get the disturbing images. But, now that I analyse it, It seems you cannot tell the difference between an artistic despiction of an angel and a demon. The angels and doves are the only figures with wings in the game.
Seventh, "See, we know the universe exists, and we use logic to figure things out about the universe. But why does that imply the existence of an invisible sky wizard watching our every move and judging us on arbitrary rules? We don't know where the universe came from, but maybe it just...happened? Just because the universe has a certain order, as in like physical laws, it doesn't mean it's all controlled behind the scenes by some being."- Yes, you figure things out about the universe using logic, but you cannot account for it. In an evolutionary/materialistic worldview(where the physical is all there is and the universe happened by chance), where do you get an abstract, inmaterial, and universal laws of logic?
Eigth, "See, it would be EASY to believe in God."- That's because everybody believe in God. Rom. 1:18-21.
Ninth, "It's HARDER to imagine that there isn't really any point."- If it's HARDER, it is because you are imagine it.
Tenth, again, how do you tell right from wrong without God?
Eleventh, "And yet, the more you learn about religion, the more it becomes obvious that it's all a reflection of human desires. I mean, basically Jesus said "We should forget about all the rituals and decorations and just focus on being good people", and then Paul came along and said "This Christianity thing is nice but it needs more rituals and decorations", and nowadays Christianity is all megachurches and huge donations and oppressing homosexuals...Sorry, I prefer to focus on HELPING people."- Remember what I told you about quotation marks and being arbitrary?
Twelveth, "Why wasn't there something from the Koran? Or the Talmud? Oh, right—out of ALL the religions in the world, ONLY ONE is "proven" by "logic"...yeah, right."- Yes, whether you like it or not, only the Bible is the Word of God and the truth. And that is why you reject it.

[Pain in the Azz]

There's a "hand" icon like I'm supposed to click, but...clicking doesn't do anything? What even is this game?

damnbadgames responds:

That icon appears when the game is loading.

[Snail Trail]

It's not all that bad; I like the way you drive into different modes instead of choosing from a menu. However, the race is difficult because you have no idea what's coming up, so you have to react really quickly. Also, I hit the side of the road and I got stuck—I can rotate the car, but I can't get it off the side of the road...

caljam19 responds:

Hey man, thanks for taking the time to play the game! I actually uploaded it unfinished as I just did it in my free time whilst unemployed using flash trials haha yeah I never figured out how to sort out that car glitch. I didnt realise anyone was actually gunna play it haha thanks for the feedback anyways man

[Eidolon]

It seems okay, but I was playing through the tutorial and I had real trouble figuring out where to place the portals...it seems like, UNLIKE the mines, the portals appear IN FRONT OF your ship.

I ran out of portals, so I figured I'd let the ships kill me, restart the tutorial or something. So I restarted that level of the tutorial...and I still had no portals.

So I'm stuck in this tutorial with no way to get out.

Phaestus responds:

Yepp, you're right... I'm sorry. I'm fixing the tutorial right now and I will reupload it soon.

EDIT: I just re-uploaded the game - it's fine now. Thank you for telling me!

[Cardboard Catbox Bounce Box]

This control scheme is kind of impossible to get the hang of...

SquiddyMccloud responds:

Cheers for playing. The trick is to hold down the arrow key in the air and let go so that you bounce on the edge of the platform moving at full speed. Also in 2 player mode, if you punch the person next to you in the arm they will die and you can win. Thanks for commenting.
