This would impress any life long philosopher, and I nominate it for winning the game jam. It is a deep touching existential journey, exploring the mysteries of life. It makes you think, really think. Unlike most other games, it makes the player appreciate the beauty and majesty. The green is truly a subtle, but awe inspiring metaphor of how gray times can change for the good. The blackness represents how clueless we really are when it comes to what life really means, it’s ups and downs. For some it’s scary at times, for others, it is a curious thing. Even the name of the game is deeply touching, symbolizing the ultimate meaning.
This game is shaking to the core. It is a revolution for the gaming industry, and should win the game jam.

I never thought I'd cry playing a game. But this is different. After being on top of the world with my run button being green I was absolutely shattered. I was heartbroken and in disbelief. I lost all meaning. I was staring into the abyss.

I'm not sure if I'll ever recover but I have a feeling that what Empty takes Empty gives back. I'm holding hope that one day I'll see the deep wisdom and optimism hidden behind the darkness and nihilism on the surface.

Pray for me comrades. Pray for me.

Creating and developing changed my entire life. Not only do I have a new perspective on existence, but I learned about stuff.

This game takes the classic format of a game and blends it seamlessly with a philosophical narrative . This games develops a trust between players in a fashion I have never seen before. Without a tutorial, the player is immediately forced to materialize their own view on the simple, yet limitless void of white the game provides. I think this deep, thought-provoking and almost angelic style of game direction is something that has become so rare in today's oversaturated gaming environment. The gameplay is in one word: phenomenal. This game provides the player with a single button. The gameplay may seem simple, but can combined to create complex results.
When I discovered that right-clicking said button creates a list of more buttons, I was amazed. Honestly, I have only touched the tip of the iceberg, and I will have to keep diving into this game in order to truly understand it's depth.

...This is a post that has no code and is a literal joke post. There is little to no effort spent on this post which goes against the rules of the community that YOU posted in the announcements. Not only that, there is a person called matdoesdev that has 0 cycles, 0 posts and 0 comments that upvoted your post. His bio says fake mat1. So you literally violated two of the rules that YOU posted. Smh my head.

wow totally changed my life playing this 🤣

10/10 best game. This rating is completely unbiased.

This game made me reflect on my past, something not many games have done.

amazing.

99 upvotes!!! Who will be the hundredth?

To some, this game is but a mere joke, but I, along with countless other true intellectuals can comprehend the true emotional weight within this segment of brevity, and I feel I must testify that there cannot be and therefore never will be a game as impactful as empty.

Einstein once said "Imagination is more important than knowledge," and this game pushes this statement to its limits, going as far as to have nothing, which only true dreamers could interpret as anything. Empty is a true testament against the concept of simply taking things in once and never giving such things further thought.

The fact that mat1 has demonstrated that his level of thinking is within the same field as Einstein, Newton, and Stephen Hawking shows that repl.it has truly brought about the next generation of geniuses. For that, I both embrace and fear the power of this game jam.

10/10 would play and have played again.

best game ever! I upvoted it but I cannot upvote it anymore I'd suggest this game to anybody and would give it a ∞/10 anytime. Deeply emotional and reflective.

B... b... bea... beautiful. Stop, it's making me cry.
This game has taught me more about life than... anything else... ever.

At first, I thought this game was pretty basic. However, after closer examination, I realized there is much more to this game. It's fully dynamic and has complete multiplayer support! I was surprised by that - it blew my expectations out of the water! I'm proud to say that the controls are responsive and it's running at 60 frames per second (FPS). With complete certainty, I can recommend this game to the casual gamer, or the hardcore professional player. Huge props to @mat1 for architecting this magnificent beauty.

10/10 Would play again.

Also this game is absolutely the best game I've played in years.

What kind of game is this?

Empty..... Empty is a word who fills stuff....Empty is everything...Empty is the life !

The Best philosopher game ever.

Hey I made a website, please go check it out and tell me some suggestions, ideas, or things to improve.: https://repl.it/@lsambrook/Website-2

I used to be a doomer consumed by nihilism, living every day shrouded by darkness, staring always at the abyss of unconscious existential dread. Once my mouse hovered over that button, my life changed completely, I could suddenly understand my true position in the cosmos. Then I suddenly felt as if someone had stabbed me from behind, everything went dark and there was just this wheezing sound in my head. When I woke up I felt something that my kind should never feel, I felt emptiness, but I didn't care. I felt as if I had been freed from the crushing nature of nihilism, but I still felt it. This time, however, it was different. This time everything seemed like a joke, like like a simple play in the park, for I had become a honkler.

Me earlier: Unsure if this is a joke or if I'm missing out on something...

Me now: I've never been happier... and sadder. No game has ever made me feel all emotions at the same time. It's a whole new feeling... I think I've reached nirvana.

Kurt Cobain here I come...

That's deep @mat1. you know I never thought about repl as a living thing but now I do thanks to this game. I like the game, philosophy, and critique of the elements and metaphors, keep doing this, the more you do it the better designer you'll become. big props 👏👏

100/100 would vote for if ran for president just because this game made a huge impact in my life. It got the kids back from Karen i'm now a successful business man due to this game.

This game is easily one of the best in the world. It is simple yet there is something more. Something that touches not just our minds, but our souls. It reaches those cracks and crevices in our being which are empty. The game fills those cracks, restoring and rejuvenating our soul and body.

PS: Why isn't this the obvious winner of the Game Jam?

I will cherish my first playthrough forever. Thank you, @mat1.

P.S. Too much content to be honest. I couldn't even finish in a day.
