Comments on: Leaf: A Game about Life http://experimentalgameplay.com/blog/2009/12/leaf-a-game-about-life/ We're a group of indie game developers, running a friendly competition every month. The rules: Make a game based on the month's theme, and don't spend more than 7 days. New games posted at the end of every month.

They should have wind effects visualised with other leaves drifting along air currents. Should have other locations/scenes you can guide the leaf through until you reach the end point. The game is incomplete metaphorically and... err, game-ally. Less is not more in this case, but it's a great start! Nice design!

Good atmosphere. Artfully limiting gameplay shows a worldview some might consider simplistic and pessimistic. Thankfully I can do a lot more than just spin while I'm falling through life. :) Well done. Good atmosphere.

Don't polish this turd too hard, it may catch on fire. The 'artistic statment' is vauge and bullshit. There is no game here. There is no form here. Work on your design before you go through all the trouble of making 'atmosphere'. Wow.
