The first section after getting the dash seems way too difficult, I tried about 20 times and was unable to pass it. I appreciated having frequent checkpoints, but that particular spot could have used one right before the dash puzzle, to limit how long it takes to try it over again.

Game Design is good

I think the jump could've had more height to it. I would also turn down Bloom a bit in hell it was hard to see some plattforms.

Good job!=) Voted

Very cool art style, love the dreamy vibe and the crystals :D The dash was tricky at first but I figured it out! :D As others have said, really dig the colour palette too, you have a good eye. Nice that everything was made from scratch too! Would've been cool with music too. If you're into aesthetic games, then I think you'd like ours too c:

Love the colors in the game. Good job)

Good job, I relly liked the "floaty" feeling of the jumps ! The aestetic is also really nice. The dash is a bit difficult to get the hang on, as it use the right-click on the mouse, but it was a really fun game !

Thanks, I got this complaint from a few others and if I return to this game I will definitely add a way to change keybinds

pretty challenging

Needs music and sfx.  Maybe I'm old and slow, but it gets very difficult quickly.

Developer

Yeah it definitely feels empty without music so if I got more time I would have liked to add it. I can agree with the spike in difficulty. Watching my friends play it I saw it might have been a bit harsh.

Nice platformer! it's challenging and fun!

Developer

Thanks!

Air jump feature is great. Background music is needed for this game.

Developer

Yeah, it does feel pretty empty without background music but I just couldn't find anything that fit.

Submitted

Solid platformer with nice graphics and interesting gameplay. I made it to the dash mechanic, good job!

Developer

Thanks!

Nice little platformer. The levels were challenging however I did find that in the volcano scene that some of the platforms blend too much with the environment making it hard to see!

Developer

Thank you! I had a lot of trouble trying to find ways to brighten the lava zone. In the end I just put point lights everywhere, but I must've missed some spot. Sorry!

Submitted

really fun platformer! the lights and environment were super cool and really got me hooked! managed to complete the game in around 10-15 minutes or so made it a super cool entry! the climbing mechainc came in clutch multiple times lol

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Honestly, this was the one game in the last 15 I rated that I played the longest. Nice and challenging!

Developer

Thanks!
