How does your game fit the theme?
You are in a dream (Calm), and you have to get to the clock tower before the Nightmare (Storm) corrupts the entire world.
In the background is a person comfortable where they were (Calm) worried about progressing to the future (Storm)
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Me and the Team made all the assets from scratch!

The game is very cute, the retro filter might be too strong but the graphics are nice overall, and the sound design is good. But I really felt lost. I had trouble understanding the controls, and what to do, how the aspect “died” or just left me temporarily, sometimes they actually disapeared, I tried to harvest ressources before finaly going through the clouds I’ve been told to avoid to find a pile of ressources…. I almost quit during the credit before to get the ending lines, which made me feel even more lost ^^’ Maybe it was the point.
I had fun playing this little game, I liked the ending of the story!
There are 2 things I would like to say, 1 is this part of the map. It's a bit hard to walk through this because sometimes it gets stuck depending how you walk in the zone. In the 1st image you can cross with no trouble but in the second image you get a bit stuck and can’t cross despite visually being at the same ground level, which isn’t something that bad, just can be a bit annoying to cross after a few attempts
The second is, it would be better if the timer starts after the tutorial, in the 1st gameplay I was reading the tutorial and when it mentions the timer, I started to walk because I was standing doing nothing hahaha, so only those 2 things I had a bit of trouble with. The timer is ok once you know where the 5 aspects are, which can be fun to find in a few attempts :)
I like the atmosphere of the game, it reminds me of the PS1 games, which I really like. Also the gameplay reminds me of those times where the camera was fixed and you just walked through the levels. Visually it’s great and the songs are good, but I would like that each time I enter a new zone, the past song didn’t reset because the calm one is great and each time I enter into the storm I didn’t want to restart the calm song haha
The aspects are funny and I like them, also I like how you can see how the storm affects them, good little details
Good game and it’s amazing to see this being done in 1 week, good job! ^^
fun fact: the timer used to start in the title screen lmao!
thhanks for the comment and detailed feedback here!!
The storm song is a reverse calm song, so you can use it to rewind to parts of the calm song you liked
Nice touch to the game :o
Great game! loved the game art and music. Was a little confused what I was doing at first till I found the first aspect. Camera angle made some areas seem like you shouldn't go there till it rotated around. Overall, enjoyed the game.
Glad! Hope Camera is okay, everyone bullying Camera
Amazing graphics and sound, and very impressed you made all the assets in the time allowed. As others have said the camera was a bit tricky, and I had trouble interacting with things, but overall great work.
Hmm Aspects
Very nice graphics and atmosphere, but I agree the camera sometimes got confusing and I got stuck. xd
The game is super!
Thanks! Super!
The ambience and graphics were great, the camera was a bit annoying at times, but overall great work.
^~^
You've done fantastically! This team put together a wonderful little ode to retro 3D platformers. The visuals were beautiful, vibrant, and colorful, the music was uplifting and nostalgic, and the aspects each had distinct entertaining personalities. This game stands above the rest in multiple factors, and I commend all of you on your hard work.
The few things I could possibly say as a negative do not meaningfully detract from the experience, but may still be of note. The fixed camera movement was a little cumbersome at times, though I did grow used to it, and the time limit was a tad too strict. It doesn't give very much time to fully focus on the writing as you're more set on trying to collect everyone before the time ends, leaving you to absorb the writing more as-you-go, reading bits and pieces in moments where you can look away from navigating the level.
Nonetheless, I was still able to enjoy what of their dialogue I did read, and the game as a whole still left a magnificent impression.
Well done!
such a nnice feeback! and yes, we know, camera is eeeeviiil!
Pretty fun game! I thought the style, atmosphere, and music were all really nice.
really thanks for the feedback!
The game is really enjoyable and has a unique structure
really thanku!
I adore the songs, they're beautiful, and the tense track works wonders for conveying dread. The graphics are very cute, and I like the character designs quite a bit, though the pixel density on the environment is a little high. I like how the camera moves cinematically, and think it adds a lot of charm to the presentation overall, though controls could lean into it more (I'd suggest tank controls but most people hate that). The part where you have to go through the fog to get to the bridge parts felt the most finnicky for me. The dialogue is also a good bookend to the experience. Very nice job!!
thanks for the support!
Hee-ho. Beautiful game
C:
Thanks!! :D
Really good game! I love that the controls are simple and intuitive. Then the art and the story is really nice!
The only suggestion regards the camera, which could be better. Anyway I really enjoyed it! Good one!
hope you liked the music too! thanks!
Yes for sure!
I loved it! The graphics and the audio are great, the camera could be better but it didn't bother me that much. It was a wonderful little experience
thaknu! we will consider changing how the camera works in future games 0.0
hellow its me

Hello it’s you!
This game is great! Loved the art style and story. The camera was a little wonky and hard to control at times. But I still enjoyed the game!
thankyaaa!
This game was really cool. The camera had me confused at times. I was also getting stuck when losing one of the people not knowing I had to get them back. I did miss half the tutorial cause I interacted with the first guy. Also the last bit when you get the 5th guy the end text gets taken over by the text of the aspect.
luckily the tutorial is not that needed as the controls are really simple, i see the camera is something we really missed during development, it felt okay to us devs. thanks for feedback
It was weird in corners cause sometimes you would have to move backwards and bump into a wall and not knowing that.
Quite a nice looking game, i just have problems with interacting some items that is sometimes inconsistent so i can't interact properly.
It's also a bit confusing with how the camera works.
Nice.
the fixed camera can be weird, that's true! also there are probably some problem with interacting as you said, we did fix them a bit as it was way worse before lmao
This is wonderful! The camera can be a hindrance at times, but I enjoyed it nonetheless, especially with the amazing graphics, great work!
thanks for enjoying our game! camera can be weird indeed!
Fun game. The camera kept focusing on the front of the player so it was hard to navigate at times. Overall good job for the jam!
poor camera! everyone is hatinng camera ! glad you enjoyed the game tho, i agree camera is bit bad sometimes!
A really awesome 3d platformer, graphics remind me of mario 64.
overall 8.5/10 :>
