Game's Take on the Theme
The main character and all bosses are animals that can spin webs or silk (weaver ants, silkworm, spider). Main character "spins" up new webs by consuming other material. Main character seeks the 3 Fates to claim the power to spin new threads of life.

Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
Yes, except for royalty free music

If not, please link to any asset packs or resources used here.

Never thought i’d have an entirely grayscale game as my 2nd 5-star for visuals, but wow this game looks really clean

Submitted

Very cute tutorial! Polished with an intentional storyline to go along. Gameplay itself wasn't my favorite, I personally didn't like the process of destroying the black rocks to charge up an attack. But still, lovely music and visuals and great work overall.

Submitted

Very fun playtime. Art is very cute and music fits well. Problem is that controls are not embedded into the game and you have to look in the game's page. But i had much fun playing it.

Developer

Thanks for playing our game! We did try to include a tutorial in the dialogue at the beginning (explains everything but WASD), but embedding the controls is good feedback!

The art, animation, and character design all looks fantastic! I also like how challenging, yet beatable the bosses are. But if I were give some feedback, I would add some visual or audio cues before they do an attack to give the player time to react accordingly. I would also add some knockback to the enemies once they get attacked to not only act as a good visual cue, but to also give the player some breathing room so they won't immediately get attacked again. But overall this was a really fun game! I wont lie I got somewhat invested into the story lol

THIS GAME WAS CRAZYYYYY

Thanks so much for the feedback and we're glad you enjoyed! Making hurt/recoil and death animations were on the backlog, but got chopped due to time constraints so I just added a simple flash red effect :') we will definitely add better cues and knockback in the future!

I CANT SPOIL IT IT MADE ME SAD THO WHAAAAT???? Make this a full game. All I had to say negative is there should be more music. Like WHAAAT?? That was a STORY! 5 across the board except the music!

Developer(+1)

We're so glad you enjoyed it! We do want to continue building this story and world :)

We didn't have time to make our own music due to time/skill constraints, but I do want to dip my toes into making music in future projects!

Music is a fun little hobby of mine now, its def worth trying :D

Pretty good! This would have benefitted from general polishing and more dynamic visual feedback and juice from the main player but otherwise this was a charming entry! 

Developer

Thanks for playing! We will absolutely polish more since we stated the jam very late and this is our first game

Really cool game—brutally difficult but fair. I love the idea of collecting the boss’s attacks to unleash 1-3 powerful strikes, and the game is excellently balanced in that regard! The minimalist style, character and boss designs, and the charming music all add to the experience. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed! We were aiming for difficult but fair, glad that experience got through

This game is amazing!! Please make a full version of this game. My only issue is clotho has a tendency to attack in ways that are essentially impossible to block or dodge.

Developer

Thanks for the kind words! It's our first time ever making a game together and hearing this feedback is very encouraging! :)

Will definitely polish Clotho's moveset, it was difficult to design something both challenging and fair.

short and bittersweet. art style is adorable

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it!
