I loved the opening of the game, and the whole game was super wholesome. I loved that you had different friends help you to give you powers, which was totally cool. At first I didn't like the jump, but over the game it grew on me. Good job on the game!

Developer

thank you :D

very nice idea! The jump mechanic is a little bit difficult to figure it out, but a part of that is a very good concept! Nice work!

Developer

thank you :D

Nice i love the esthetic but i think the jump is a little bit buggy for be a platformer game but i understand that is a demo

Developer

thank you for the feedback :D

The concept is nice. One thing that might make it better is maybe you could get your friends to come with you on your journey (even if they just mimic your movement path). Also perhaps the character sprite animation could happen on movement rather than all the time, might make it feel a bit more interactive. Good job

Developer

thank you for the feedback :D and yeah :o the friends following would be very neat, though very sad if they follow you even when you fall D: poor friends

Nice demo. I liked the story and the art style. The concept of getting others abilities is cool. The jump was kind of like yoshi or something. If you had made the character a feather or something it would have felt right, but not with a person. Overall, good effort and I'm glad you were able to have time to enter!

I've loved the aesthetic and design
Very good way to approach the topic.

Developer

Man, i always wanted to make a game with yours aesthetics!

The jump is shaking a bit. You could implement a ground detection mechanics to prevent it.

But i really liked the vibe and am super envious of the paper draw style!

Good Job!

Developer

thank you for the feedback :D I used the Fluffy brush on FireAlpaca to draw my characters / their outlines :3

Awesome game, I love the text storytelling scrolling by as you walk - some very good points made! The jumping does feel a little floaty so that might be something to look at but I'm getting some Thomas Was Alone vibes from this - great stuff!

Congrats on the submission! I like the idea of others helping you by giving you new abilities, would have been interesting to see what other abilities you could have come up with.

Developer

thank you for the feedback :D If I had extra time / revisited this idea, I would add crouch and double jump abilities I think :3

Heya! First of all, I love the concept. I think it could make for a hit, but it has it´s problems. First of all, I´m not an Unity user, but for what I see you are making the jump with different heights by changing the gravity dinamically. This looks weird as that´s not how gravity looks irl.

Jonas has a great video on that with some code explanation :D
Anyways, back to the game. I really liked the narration at the beginning. Did you make that yourself? I like the characters, they are cute and unique. I didn´t understand that much what purpose the sad girl one had, but she was cool too I guess. It gets a bit annoying the fact that you have to start from the beginning, but I understand it because it´s a demo and you didn´t have much time. Those "jump, be brave" messages I think would´ve fit better if they were said by a character, but again, 1 week.

Overall, the game has a lot of potential but it needs some improvements in terms of game feel and graphics. Well done! :D
Developer

thank you for the feedback :D
