That reminded me so much of Celeste in a GREAT way!!! I love the main character, they're sooo cute. You could've literally just released this as a paid game right now and I would've bought it.

Wow wow wow! Night In the Woods meets Celeste meets Journey! The movement is so lovely and fun, the level design flows so well and the sound is perfect! Such a stunning game on all accounts!

Holy cow, what was that. This game is a masterpiece.

The gameplay is quite simple and straightforward, but works really in a smooth difficulty curve over the levels. 

But what really sets this game apart is the emotional reponse you manage to make the player feel with so little : some sound effects, musics, color switches, screenshakes, trails and simple circular particules. Using these simple tools, on the length of 5min of gameplay, you make us feel feel awe, discovery, friendship, stress and climax.;. This is breathtaking and what video games should be about. 

These emotions are triggered by all the love you put is setting up so many of "memorable moments", like the intro sequence, the opening of the flowers, the discovery of the dragon friend, the mines and the enemies and the final climax.  The detail and attention makes every interaction in the game pleaset.

Playing your game reminded me why I want to make games myself <3

During this gamejam I set myself the goal to try to create such a "moment" using simple tools.

I really hope you will try my game and let me know what you thought of it :)


Cheers and CONGRATS !

Holy shit. This is an actual masterpiece for a game jam. With better graphics and more levels it could be on steam easily.

Owen and Ellen... I don't know what to say. Such a beautiful adventure. That ending, and the music with it was inspiring. 
Thanks for taking part in the jam and creating this little gem.

I literally was breathtaking after playing this game, the game it's self meets the theme so good because without any words, simple graphics and simple gameplay it can be so immersive, scary and beatiful at the same time.

I've never experienced something even close to playing your game in any gamejam and even with some other full games. The sound design is amazing, the movement feels great, the art is beautiful, the music is impressive and the atmosphere is stunning. This is truly a masterpiece for a gamejam. The theme is implemented in every aspect of the game, the sound, gameplay, graphics and the fact that the only piece of text in the entire game is just the title, even for the itch page, the simplicity makes this game more than many others could only imagine to be. Congrats on making an amazing game!

wow....I was left speechless... this game, is a game that should be on Steam, like wow, sorry let me gather my thoughts, this was an amazing game! from the very smart level designs to the beautiful artwork, and oh man the music... 5 stars, those weird giant freaky big monsters really were frightening. i gave this game 5 stars, and I'm sure this game will either be ranked #1 and will be featured on BTP YouTube channel, great job, i beat the game, my time was 21 minutes, it was a fantastic journey, thank you for making this. oh and I follow you on Twitter, and i saw your progression, i knew this had to be one of the first games i played for this Jam.
