I wish I were the Moon (Redux)

11 November 2008

Since I wanted to be a contender in this year’s IGF, I worked a bit on I wish I were the Moon and submitted it.

This new version has more endings, some tweaks and fixes all over the place, and a secret ending. You can play it in Kongregate.

I will link to the most beautiful video walkthrough I get, so if you make one, let me know!

aah, very nice.

one thing: I could pick up the boat sometimes, but not other times(maybe I couldn’t figure out why), and…it didn’t seem to have anything to do with the endings….


aaah… maybe it somewhat does ;)


but…I got all of the endings :/ … damn, I’ll have to have another playthrough I guess, see if things are clearer next time…


be free? lol!


can’t get secret ending :(


I have Tragedy
Such a pretty sky
Lost love
Be free
If I can’t have you…
Bring me the moon
No reason to live
yet I still have one left…
what’s the secret ending?!?!


Ok, so the list of IGF entrants is done and up, and your game is in it! http://www.igf.com/php-bin/entry2009.php?id=707

Congrats and good luck, Dan! It would be so awesome to see you winning something.

The one you’re missing is ‘Sunk the Boat’


[...] of the games that’s impressed me most in the last couple of month’s is I wish I were the Moon. Check it out here if you haven’t played it [...]


[...] I wish I were the Moon is a more subtle play with scenarios, playable here. As Daniel says I tried to make it about the exploration of an emotional situation instead of a physical space, without using any text. [...]


Don’t you think there should be a happier ening? I got pretty depressed with those endings :~(


@It’s Me: but there’s a lot of happy endings! Try seeing things through the boy’s eyes…
