I'll check this out if you check Gravity Bone out.
 
Also, Sam Kennedy is the fucking man.  He's one of the only good guys left at 1up.

Deal. And yeah he is =P "

'Twas good.

Wow, that was actually really awesome.

Well, that was a let down.

That had a lot of unused potential. It was ok, but could've been a lot better.

Up until the end, I was thinking to myself, "Although expertly done, this is kind of a generic message".  Then the ending.  Oh boy, that ending.
 
I have no idea what's going on anymore.  With anything. "

Well, that was quite a waste of time. I hate it when games try so hard to get a message across. This just screamed "Heyy bro, the mayyun is tryin'a take us down...  We gotta like... Separate ourselves from this constricting society duude."... It makes me want to punch a hippie in the face. The only message that I got out of that was that if you commit suicide, everyone else will realize that suicide is a pretty good idea.

Well I guess thats more of what Sam's life is like then mine.

It was clever. It had a couple of moments that that made me ! but over all it was alright I guess.

Nice music, sort of pretentious, predictable ending. 
 
Game of the year? Eh.

I pushed right and hit the space bar a few times, and then it was over.

Not GOTY, but interesting.

It was cool, but Game of the Year? You must not play any games at all to think this is worthy of anything close to that. I'm sorry Mr. Kennedy, I like you and your site.. but please remove your head from your bumhole

Yeah that was really boring. I guess I can see why someone would like it, but I hated it.

Meh, was ok.
 

I like all the comments saying that it was "boring" and therefore disappointing. Did you read the name?

What game designers need to understand is that you put in the artistic premise and themes AFTER you make fun gameplay.

Nice article read it yesterday on 1UP, Sam is the man.

Eh.. They'd be better off just making it a flash animation and entering it in some weird hippy film festival. It'd definitely get more recognition from that audience.

That had an ending besides going to the cemetery, commiting suicide or going naked to office?  I understand the purpose of the game, but it's one beated to death before.  "

The game does actually 'end' if you do everything right.  Personally, I saw what it was going for, but didn't really think it was that 'powerful'. Maybe I'm just not 'down' with this 'art', but it didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Also, there were no explosions. What kind of game doesn't have any explosions!? "

@Everybody
 
I wasn't saying the ending was particularly good - I in fact had thought it was weird on purpose to seem deep.

Hrm, I thought this was one of those "popular" indie games; heard about it a few weeks back. For those interested, I felt it had imagery that was reminiscent of the "Colour My World" and "Colour My Heart" games, if you haven't played those either; they're well worth checking out. 
 
Have to admit, I thought it was pretty interesting how they explored some existentialist ideas with the game, but I thought it was a bit taxing getting all the way through with the soundtrack repeating and the actions staying relatively consistent.

goty?

I loved it. Overall, it was depressing but nonetheless beautiful.

Ehm, that was... a let down.

Weird feelings playing that game. 
 
Don't know what else to say about it. I feel like crying though.

Uhh. Nothing happened. Is that it? I went to work and woke up again. Simple life is simple.

Another exhibit towards the "games as art" argument thing, but I found it boring, pretentious, and predictable.  If this really was his Game of the Year, I find of feel sorry for him.

i cant believe some people need a walkthrough for this game?

That was awesome, but GotY? Just because it has a "message" doesn't make it better than every other game that came out in 2009.

That was bleak and depressing and I wouldn't call it a Goty but it was interesting.

That was unsettling. It didn't hit me too hard, but I feel uneasy now. Really interesting, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Finally decided to play this.
 
Its simplistic yet tells a deep message.

I'm stuck at work for the time being so I'll give it a shot when I get home. It looks really interesting though.
