Really like the theme and the atmosphere of the game, the graphics are nice too and the music, overall is inmersive. I think that the character moves too slow also I don't know if is on purporse but the char can get stuck on walls and jump out of them. Also the fact that have a story was really nice and adds up to the inmersion.

Oooh! Really awesome idea. It's like a memory game / platformer with a creepy atmosphere. Really dig it!!

Submitted

The gameplay feels a bit janky, since the player can spam jump and fly everywhere. That being said, the art is genuinely beautiful. The backgrounds for levels 2 and 3 look really cool and the cutscenes had a memorable artstyle that made for a bittersweet story. I really like the concept too, going for a "dream dive" instead of a literal one.

Really beautiful, the game definitely has a really nice art direction, it's a breath fresh air.

Really nice! I especially loved the music! I just found out that you could attack with the left click in the boss scene haha

Submitted

Well done!

Great pixel art design! great game

Submitted

Very cool game, art especially in the cutscenes was amazing and the story was quite interesting too, a very unique game for this jam! good work!

Submitted

Great art, atmosphere, theme but its quite hard to know whats currently happening in the game, I think it could greatly benefit from any visual feedback, such as character flashing/screenshake/particle effect or sound!

Submitted

Good game, I enjoyed it. It took me a while to figure out the movement, so maybe consider adding a tutorial or something. I really liked the graphics, though and the background music has this mysterious vibe that sounds amazing.

Submitted

I liked the story a lot! The art was also very good, a pretty enjoyable game! I just think the camera should've been closer to the player in the platforming segments.

Submitted

i liked the design ^-^ it would be cool if the camera would be a little closer to the character or a bigger/closer game view.

Submitted

Wow! I am impressed! This game feels so great to play, I love the story aspect and the different mechanics! Amazing job!

Thanks a lot Dmytro, it's very touching for me to see a game I worked on being played in a video.. ( I'm sure when other members will see you comment they will think the same! )

Hope you the best, I'll play your game soon, of course!

Cute little game and nice soundtracks and atmosphere! 2nd level was maybe a little bright but i could see why it needed to be

Submitted(+1)

Its a really cool game! I really love the soundtrack and atmosphere. The movement is a bit janky, since it seems to count touching the wall/ceiling as touching the ground, so as long as I'm colliding with the level I can basically fly. I also think there should be some sort of checkpoint system so I don't have to restart the entire game if I die. Really creative interpretation of the theme though, and its not often that I play a video game made in a week that makes me feel such intense emotion (other than frustration because I'm bad at video games).

Developer

So glad you liked the emotional aspect! Since it was my job in the team to work on it, it really touches me.

this game is so cool!! amazing atmosphere and narrative story! the combat at the end was a little janky i couldnt tell if i was damaging him or if i was being damaged. but otherwise it was super fun and i really enjoyed it!
