I recommend not playing it if you're looking for gameplay and fun. The game depicts sad and emotional imagery...

It didn't turn out to be as good as I expected though. It's more of a picture viewer than a game...

It's only available for Windows XP and up, sorry... And it has no sounds...
If "Unable to locate component. This application has failed to start because d3dx9_35.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." appears, run "dxwebsetup.exe" with an internet connection, then run "Play.exe" again.

Gameplay:
-Put your mouse over the black circles to turn them white.
-Click a circle to remove.
-There are 9 layers of circles in total.

Watched a playthrough of this one a looong time ago and thought I'd give it a try. There's a missing temp.jpg file which I've tried to replace, solving one instance but getting the game shut down after ending with 100% circles and like 60.9% white which I'm having trouble achieving again. Weh.

Technical whatsies aside Inel's style is always enchanting and the use of color is really great. For obvious reasons this game genre is often appreciated on strictly on the metaphorical level, though I think this one too has some merit to its surface value. The primary mechanical aspect of the game is addicting, at least if only for a little while, and while the "picture viewer" notion is completely valid, the pictures in question do beg to be analyzed and pieced together in some sort of sequence, so the game is not without significance.

A relatively simple game, and of course, it looks pretty nice. I think I've gotten all 10 'unlockable' endings (unless there's more). The rules are not explicitly stated (if any), and I guess that makes it so that each player makes up their own rules for 'how to play/win' the game, which can be in and of itself thought of as a feature- though many players have claimed that having no real instruction limits their ability to interact with the game properly.

It seems pretty impossible to reach 100.0% of both White Circles and/or Remaining Circles, unless one gets considerably lucky or predicts the movements of the circles perfectly. Kudos to anyone that manages it, though I'm pretty sure it's impossible to achieve both at the same time due to the game no longer allowing players to changing black circles to white once the 9th Layer appears, and since it appears with black circles...

I'm not sure if it would be appropriate to list the conditions for unlocking the endings here (or anywhere, really), so I'll leave that up to someone else unless given permission by the Dev to list them right-quick.
