Really nice and well executed idea! Everything is beautiful.
Zen, I'm at peace
I really like how complete this game feels, you did an amazing job! It feels like a game I could buy on Steam.
The only issue I have is when i progress time, my game starts to lag and will eventually freeze the game, but other than that the game is really good!
Very beautiful! The aesthetics of this game are all great. I’m going to come back and finish it. The platforming has a few little things that could be cleaned up but all in all very nice game!
Nice concept and very relaxing! Zen.
Good game!
I'm in love with this game!!! The sounds, the meanings and storytelling, the art. All of this are amazing
Really cool concept and great implementation, well done!
I really enjoyed this game. I love the art style and I really enjoyed switching between the different creatures. It is very polished as well. Great job!
Very good submission and interesting take on the theme. Very clever to use reincarnation as a game mechanic.
What a vibey game! Loved the storytelling and beautiful artwork and animations. The puzzles building on one another hand-in-hand with the story paired together really nicely. There were a few gameplay bugs that made completing some levels frustrating if they happened close to the solution (snake not spawning primarily), but that did not stop me from enjoying this terrific game, nice job!
The game glitches badly on browser and it's a shame cause the game's a gem. As a sidenote, I've been keeping the start menu open randomly while I was talking cause the music was just too good
Fun small puzzle platformer. I enjoyed it! There's one small nipick that the snake has no death animation and doesn't die immediatly when it ate an egg, but it's something tiny and did not take away from the overall experience.
Very zen and lovely, had fun completing this!
I think this is probably the best jam game I've played so far! Amazing work with all of the differing animals and creatures you can change into. I was really impressed that each creature seemed to have so much that they could offer, and how sometimes one creature could interact with another one in-between lives.
I did run into a few minor bugs like the snake if you respawned but were impatient then it would not spawn properly and I had to reset but overall quite the polished game.
The graphics were all very charming and I loved the gentle sway of the trees, grass, and calm scrolling of clouds in the background. This paired quite nicely with the ambient music.
Overall very well done!
I think the main problem with this game is that the puzzle solutions are very easy to spot but the execution takes a long time and it is very easy to make a slight execution error and softlock yourself.
I think a rewind option would go a long way to make this more enjoyable to play and just a bit faster gameplay overall.
The puzzle design overall is a bit too simple in my opinion. It spends most of the time introducing new mechanics but never really explores them in a satisfying way.
The music and art are great tho. I especially like the UI and the scene transitions. It feels very polished.
Don't let my criticism discourage you. This is a great entry for a jam and you should be proud of it.
I love these kinds of puzzlers
I love the writing and visual. The writing captivates me and the atmosphere really getting me into it.
Awesome game. I like the snake. Controlling it feels so good.
Nice game, I think there are a bit too many mechanics. But don't let someone like me dampen your creativity.
