I like all the graphic introduction, it is great. You could improve the walking animation of the player. 

Good Job.

My game is a casual game if you wanna rate is https://misterm.itch.io/mixtape-match , Thanks

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yes, animation is something I need to improve more on, since it was my first attempt at a walk cycle ha ha.

The art style of the game was very good. The visuals were fascinating and the story was very well written. However the rewind mechanic could have been a more integral part of the game. Other than that I have no other complaint. Really good.

Could you please take out the time to rate my game too? It is not as beautiful as yours but it would mean a lot to me if you rated my game.

Developer

Yes, the final level was going to have more with the winds but I found myself getting annoyed trying to complete the level rather than having fun, so I had to get rid of some of the obstacles. Thank you playing!

Could you please rate my game too?

This was  an amazingly drawn story, and really a decent bullet hell/platformer. I had a lot of fun playing through , great job! 

Developer

Thank you for playing!

What I liked 

  • Great intro into the game without the use of much text
  • Love the water colored background in game and character's painting in the menu
  • Snail slug Caterpillars are pretty nice dudes reminds me of the Totoro holding an umbrella 

Improvements

  • maybe change the rain sounds (to Lucy crying sound) will add much more game feel and sense of urgency
  • I'm more of as WASD guy so would be cool if WS were used for jump and crouch too

Bug

  • Character stayed crouch position when i enter new area , isnt much of a issue to be honest. Was only for a few seconds. 

All in all great game , I can tell your a talented artist from the visuals. Will definately try more if you do an update in the future. Thanks! Rated!  = D

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing! I will definitely keep that list of improvements and bugs to test out for any future projects! I have thought about adding crying sounds, but finding a sound that I could loop over without it getting annoying or distracting was a little troublesome, especially since I ended up doing a lot of the sound near the end of the week.

I cried

I like how you took the "rewind" theme and interpreted in a different way. It was really innovative, the game was really enjoyable. It was quite easy, but that's nice, since even if we don't really know why does Lucy cry, at least we help her stop doing it :')

Also, I cried

The caterpillar was an interesting character, for a short game, it felt like he had really developed as a character... kinda. I'm honestly surprised about it. 

I cried. Hard

The art style is beautiful, just looking at the game's Cover Image fills me with joy. I'm really hoping to see this as one of the best of the Jam!

I don't think I said it before, but I cried.

Developer

Ah man, thank you for your nice comment! I'm really glad that it was an enjoyable experience! Thanks for playing!

Very cute- I love the art! Gameplay is nice, and the graphics are pretty. The platforming is a little janky though. I found a glitch where you could double jump by spamming the jump button while jumping through multiple semi-solids - this sent me flying and I was able to go straight through wind. On a similar note, the wind hitbox is kind of vague and I had a hard time telling where it was going. Overall though, this is a nice and calming game and the characters and story are adorable. I would love to see a review on our game as well! 

Developer

Thanks so much for playing! Oh man, I didn't even think about the hitbox of the wind. Thanks for the critiques! I'll keep that in mind for my projects in the future!

I really enjoyed the artstyle and the story of the game. It was very wholesome. Platform was nice and I didn't really understand what crouching did. I think the theme is mostly present during the game with the wind and the restoration of your lives.  

Overall, a very cute game, congrats on your participation.

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for playing! So for the player, it has 3 colliders on it, but crouching disables one of the colliders, so I thought of it something like a clutch move in the case you had to dodge the rain.  My bad though, I should have probably given a better explanation for it. I'll keep that in mind in any future projects!

The story is very wholesome, I enjoyed playing a lot ^^

Congratz for making the game!
