In what way does your game fit the theme?
You collect soul fragments and once they are all together, you become stronger.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
All programmed by me and most art by me. Things that I've borrowed has be credited on the About page in the games main menu.

I love your game. Especially the sound design and the atmosphere made the game Feel incredible. You also explored the souls mechanic really well. Good job!
Very limbo like, love limbo and this game! Mechanics are very unique, interesting and well done. Great job!
Well done!!! Art and narrative does not leave indifferent. Also great "soul" mechanics)
Had a great time with this. Loved the general mood and found the soul mechanic really interesting. Would be great to see a more fleshed out version!
Love the ambience and polished aesthetics, when the floor broke i had some Inside / Limbo vides. Well done !
Nice melancholy atmosphere. I love that the world looked like it had been painted with sponges. I really like the piano when you collect a piece of soul.
Please vote for our game too :-) Thank you

awesome art style! totally loved the game!
(though i for strange reason many times pressed 'space' instead of 'w' and was detaching soul instead of jump)
Very cool concept, the atmosphere is amazing. The sound effect for the character's steps is incredible haha. I particularly liked the background as well. I would work a little bit more in the controls, they didn't feel very responsive to me, specially the jump mechanic and how it behave with detaching the soul in mid air. Excellent job overall!
Super atmospheric game!
Love the music and the movement.
I got stuck at the part with the rotating arrows tho..
Well done!
I love how the game looks and feels. You've done a great job with setting up the atmosphere through the dark aesthetic, foggy background, piano music and sfx. I especially like how the bg music makes the game all the more engaging and mysterious. The controls are a little wonky, but it doesn't take away from the fun. The camera could also be smoother when the soul is reattached to the character.
I feel like the game wants to tell me a story or a message through its character, mechanics and design and to me, that was executed successfully. The game is really short and simple but with some expansion and fixing, it could be a really polished inspiring narrative game.
Congrats on your 2nd jam btw!
This sounds and looks awesome ! You nailed it on the atmosphere. Really nice game
Loved the background music ! I love the idea of moving your soul, there's a real idea right there!
However, I find that the game is way too dark; I get the Limbo-like theme, but a bit of contrast would be great !
With some improvement, I feel it could be a nice story-based indie game ! Great job !
i really liked the game! nice art combined with the sound effects and the music made it awsome! good job!
Really liked the feel, the audio worked perfectly and the sound effect of the piano fits greatly. Also loved the poem, it's obvious you put a lot of work into it. Good job!
