The art style and color palette are really striking. The animations have a handmade quality to them that helps give this game a ton of personality/atmosphere. The camera freezing mechanic is great and has a lot of potential for level design. Although the platforming (especially some collisions) doesn't feel as polished as the art, I really enjoyed playing this game. Good job!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed! Platforming definitely needed more work, should have prioritized that. Sometimes as a dev you just get used to it after playing so many times haha. Thanks for the comment!
Really like the camera mechanic and art style. Very original and fun to play!
Thank ya!!!
Love the creepy artstyle, super creative use of the two colors!
Been following you since the CCC Game Jam, your games are still as solid!

Overall, its a really cool entry and looks really good. I like the concept of freezing obstacles to navigate your way through difficult areas. Congrats on completing and submitting your game!
Thank you very much for playing and the awesome feedback! Glad you liked the mechanic and art style :D
Any thoughts on a better color combination, totally understand what you mean though, the game was definitely more slower paced and not as intense. Three lives would have been a good idea as well, I tried to add lots of checkpoints but I think I struggled to find a good balance there as well. Will keep this in mind next time! Didnt get to finish the hearts implementation, I was going for the collect all achievement! Thanks again for the comment :)
No problem! Good feedback makes us all better. As for color combination, I believe I was thinking a dark blue and a really light blue at the time I wrote my comment. I'm not an artist, but what about these colors: #2a537a and #091235
I liked the camera that stops things, that was unexpected haha
I Reached the end, good game
Also liked the melancholic/ sad mood
haha thanks! Glad you enjoyed
The simplicity of the art is stunning, great mechanics and creative implementation of them. Aside from being a bit short, the game is well done.
Thanks Shurooq!! Sadly scrapped my last level due to time, would have loved to add more areas :D
