Beautiful game, graphics, controls, and audio are top-notch. However it was painfully difficult and after trying the first level for like 8 minutes I gave up. I think the early levels should be easier to get the player familiar with the main mechanics(if that's what you were going for).

I found it really hard and struggled to get past the first two levels... But it's a really beautiful game, loved the visuals and the audio 😍

I had fun. It was very Celest-y

The art style of the game is really cool. The concept is also very interesting. I quite like the calming kind of music.

As others have said, the game is really good! :)

This is great. Got probably through 85% of the game, had all 3 emotions, but the difficult platforming just got to be too much for me.  Curse those wind tunnels!

Developer

Wow thanks for having played so much! Yeah I should have done more playtesting ^^ this wasn't meant to be so hard haha

The controls gave me a hard time, I could not get past the final walljump were your .gif cuts off. Apart from allowing me to use my joystick or WASD some input-buffering would have been really helpful.

Your cover suggests there are even two more powers to collect, so really quite a lot of content (assuming they are roughly evenly paced).

This is really cool.. and difficult :P

Could use some sound effects for stepping on spikes and ghosts though.

The beginning could be more easy - for me as a noob - I would have enjoyed to jump and try out a bit more.
But it is soo lovely! Good job.

Just wow. It's the best game that I see on this game jam! Great music, mechanics, and so on! Can I share this on my Twitter?

Developer

Sure you can ! I'm happy that you enjoyed it :)

Submitted(+1)

It's reallt one of the best  I've played so far. A complete game that make us really happy at finishing it. I spent a long time playing it (twice. Hahah).

Good mechanics and graphics. Good job!  

Developer

Thank you so much for playing!

This is my top game of the jam, for sure! Its super fun, the plot is amazing, and much more!

Developer

Thank you so much ! I'm glad you enjoyed it

I really like the graphics! The gameplay itself is fun and the movement feels smooth. I really suck at platformers though, so I didn't get very far

Submitted(+1)

Cool game, the movement feels a bit weird sometimes but hey! Doing that in one week is awsome

Submitted(+1)

wow just frickin wow! the gameplay, the sound, the story, the feel, everything about this game just felt so good! i love playing this and i cant believe u made this in just 1 week! if u path it up a little and fix it maybe make more levels u could put it on steam!!! the only problem i have is the controls, i think zxc is a better way to got with special abilities. all in all its a 10/10 for me! way to go!

Thank you so much for your comment and for playing my game, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yeah I had trouble to choose the control because I'm using a french keyboard so I wanted only to use keys that are on the same place on QWERTY so it feels a bit odd... I also loved your game :)

Submitted(+1)

I love the music!

Submitted(+1)

This was by far one of the best game jam games I've ever played. The design was simple and nice looking, the music was really great and the controls so smooth. The story made it even better.
This is what I imagine Celeste must feel like, guess I am now ready to try it. Can't be that much harder, right?
Saying as someone who usually doesn't play platformers, I think this was really hard. But different than usual it kept me engaged and I played everything. My hand hurts and I feel a bit dizzy, but it was worth it. Really good work :)

Developer

Thank you for your comment ! I would not dare compare to Celeste but yeah that was definitely an inspiration. I'm glad that you enjoyed it and yes I recommand you to play Celeste I'm sure you would love it

Cool game, a little hard though. I love the animations and music.

Submitted(+1)

Good one! I'm not sure how it fits the theme though, maybe I didn't get far enough hehe. I would make dying a bit more juicy, as it happens very frequently and doesn't feel very polished. Other than that, cool game, fun to play.
