I enjoyed the different areas with their different sounds and the experience of looking for crystals. Charming!
Thanks, glad you liked it! ;)
Really pretty, I loved the visuals and sounds for the crystals
Thank you ^^
Now that was trippy! Very nice shaders and particle effects, I especially loved the slowdown when you pick up a crystal.
The gameplay is a bit too simple, but maybe adding some narrative or a story would spice it up (eg. like in Dear Esther, which is basically just about exploring a very nice looking environment and listening to a story in parts).
Thanks for playing and nice words! ;) We agree with all what you say about gameplay. Adding a story is a nice idea, maybe we'll work on it ;)
The world is very pretty and the music is relaxing!
I liked the mix of realistic nature terrain textures with the surreal sky and reflective surfaces.
I didn't find that the music adapted however, other than switching which loop was playing based on the quadrant I was currently in. Maybe I was missing a secret.
Thanks for playing, glad you found it relaxing :) Indeed, we chose the simplest approach and music adapts only to the position of the player.
