Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • I really enjoyed this one. It was so moody and atmospheric. Really distilled the theme and made a simple yet challenging setup. If anything, I would have included maybe one last boss or something to escalate from the standard mist demon things, but it was good!
  • I like how much atmosphere this game has just from how it's lit and the minimal style of the environment. It also suits the "Signs of Life" theme well. I do wish the death animation and restart sequence were either faster or skippable because I kept dying and having to sit through the same thing over and over wasn't very fun.

The game is really good but i don't understand when it ends because i get all the balls of spirits (idk how to call them XD) but nothing happenned. However the idea is cool and the feedback of Cakestorm is roughly what is was going to write :)

I liked being a little wisp in a hospital maze, it was fun! The lighting and trail you leave behind make the game feel nice and ethereal, which is perfect considering the character. The environment is nice too, I like how abstract it is - it really does feel like the border between this world and the afterlife or something. The black spirits made good enemies too, nice and spooky, and the borders of the world were much more creative than just putting a giant wall around the edge, well done! I love this idea, it's really unique, so good work!

I really liked this game! Seeing the black souls actually made me nervous the first time around, ha! gg

Awesome game! It has really smooth movement and great sound design and visuals, howerver I think that the intro should be skippable after you die, other than that this game is amazing!

happy to hear you liked it! I definitely wanted to let people skip the beginning part but ran out of time lol.

The movement is really smooth and the visuals are very polished. It'd be nice to be able to skip the cutscene when you die/restart but that's probably not as simple as it sounds to implement.
Very nice overall!

the intro may be a bit long. the movement of the "soul" is quite fluid that's cool. I really like the map limits with the black particles, it looks really good

The atmosphere and the art of this game are crazy good!
I would have done a smaller map I think, it can get a bit long when you're lost! ^^
Otherwise, it really is great!
