Very cute and fun game, liked the art-style a lot and the different upgrades were a nice addition!

I'm so happy you enjoyed the game! Animating and writing for this project has been so much fun and it means so much people dig it

Wow that's some high praise, thank you so much!
I agree completely about the item needing a stronger indication for the ones you bought, but them disappearing wouldn't be any good, since you can actually buy multiple and have their effects stack!
Still, a proper UI for what was bought was one of the compromises we made for time.
I'm actually currently in the process of playing your game right now, and I just gotta say, unrelated, It's mesmerizing, dude. Expect a visit from me when I'm done exploring!

AAAH OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
We worked so hard that week to try to fit as much as we could, and I can't tell you how much comments like yours make it all feel worth it.
Seriously, thank you so much for playing! It means a lot <3

Oh gosh thank you so much for the incredibly kind words! We really pushed ourselves to our limit with how much stuff we tried to finish in time, I'm so glad the final story and experience were engaging, cohesive and (even when bittersweey) fun! I'm so happy you felt free to use assist mode, it's absolutely there for a reason. I know for sure many of my friends and family would absolutely need it to see the game through, and we really wanted to keep this game open for everybody! Thank you so much for taking the time to play our game <3
The art style and character design in this game is so original and fun. The characters are so expressive, like in a comic book. I love the dialogue too, it reminded me a lot of 'Hades' where the characters presumably know each other well and as the player we're learning about them through their casual conversation. This was among my longest played games of the day, I think that's because I really wanted to see the end - so great job on the story as well! Dynamite music.
I think there's a spiritual connection to the theme of the jam, but I think if there was a weakness anywhere it would be in that regard. No matter, I still very much enjoyed the game and I hope to see more from you. Please keep in touch!!

Oh my gosh thank so much for playing our game! We literally joked about the similarities to "Hades" constantly during development so you're right on the money there. I think the most interesting way to bring a viewer into a world is to have characters in the world talk about it realistically to each other, so I really wanted to give a sense of natural conversation. I'm glad you liked it! The theme of loss in our mind is related on the small scale to the platform that run out at every stage, and on a large scale to the destiny Lucy was cursed with- that ended up kind of coming true. Thanks again fof playing! See you around <3

Thank you so much for playing our game!
I'm so happy you feel that way about the boost mechanic! We tried our best not to spell it out to the player to keep that sense of discovery and learning.
I'm so glad you enjoyed your time, your kind words mean a lot!

What an absolutely lovely comment to get! I cannot begin to tell you how much we appreciate all the kind words. I'm so so proud of what our team managed to accomplish. I'm happy you felt free to use assist mode! It was important to us to balance a game for experienced platformer players while keeping it accessible those who would rather just see the story through. Thanks again! Hope you have a lovely day <3
