In what way does your game fit the theme?
My game fits the theme through the character needing the spirit in order to progress the landscapes and it also makes sense story-wise with the bond of the spirits being closer than first realized
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, with exception of what is listen at the bottom of the game page. I have created all assets and I do have the rights to the following that I did not create

Wow that was great! The sounds and graphics are good. The vibe was also so good.

Oooh, a fellow UE4 game!
Well, I don't really like fetch quest-type games, so that's my only big issue.
I think you did well with the time you had though. It's a very pretty game and the story was on point!
Can't wait to see what you do next time!
Absolutely beautiful experience. Perfect in every aspect. Gameplay, story, graphics, sfx, music, colors. And the ending... Really touching!
You made a beautiful piece of art in such a short time. Congratulations.
I have nothing else to add that no one mentioned already. I really enjoyed playing through it!
Unexpected! Great atmosphere!
I had this tab open for about two hours, because the screenshots intrigued me so much and I didn't want to forget to play this game. And god, did it deliver.
The atmosphere is just unbelievably good, especially for a game jam. The way you used the assets was amazing. Never really did my immersion break or did the journey feel tedious or boring, it was engaging 'til the end. This is one of the games where I barely run, just so I can deliberately take the game slowly and take in the world.
And the end was overwhelmingly emotional. I can say without exaggerating that it nearly brought me to tears. While it was obvious that your "Guardian Spirit" was more than just some magical butterfly, the delivery at the end of the game really made me feel melancholic. I didn't even want to switch out of the last screen to write this comment, because I didn't want to stop the music.
I added this to my collection. I want to play this again at some point when I actually have the time to properly experience it. Until then, keep up the good work.
I can not describe how happy your review makes me, this personal experience that you had is something I always wish to be the result of my games
Very beautiful experience. Very relatable and strong representation of the theme in past tense. I really really enjoyed it. Thank you.
Amazing game! Beautiful!
Wow, wasn't expecting that!
Great story, movement felt smooth and the audio fit really well with everything. A great solid game that I definitely didn't expect.
Incredible. Very enjoyable, even with my crummy potato like laptop!
Yeah sorry about that, I knew people with lower-end computers were gonna play so I tried to optimize as much as I could, still glad you enjoyed it though :)
This is beautiful, and inspiring. You’ve really done a great of showing what an effect color choice can have while playing a game. Fantastic job on this.
Here’s my game if you’d like to give it a play.
Thank you! Pretty much all of my 3D games are meant to be colorful and atmospheric and yeah ill definitely check out your game
Wow. Really beautiful game. I really like this unique take on the theme, hits home a little bit. The visuals are great and simple and the story is too. The music drops in and out at the right times. Good job!
If you have a sec and want to review our game as well its here: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/929213
Thank you so much! And yeah im downloading your game right now :)
I just played through this and it was awesome. Dude, I really think you should've sold this instead of putting it for free. Anyways, I'm following your projects from now on... Fantastic job....
Haha, thank you so much! It wouldn't be too good to charge for a game jam game but I still appreciate how you think its good enough to have a price tag on it!
WOW! Very very very very GOOD! This is the best game I've played from this game jam yet. You deserve to win! The music, the story, the graphics, the gameplay... It just fits together really well. Good job!
I'm really glad you think that! There is so much competition in this jam especially but I do hope I win or at least do well in some categories
really nice and cool game, congrats
wow. This was really, really good. The art had me stunned and the story and ending really hit. This is the best game i have played in a jam yet, Story-wise. Good Game dude, good game.
awesome!!!! My comments go in further detail on the game page :)
Sorry, but it says I needed a Visual Studio C++ to run the .exe. Sorry I couldn't play your game.
Really? That's strange :/
And you're sure you clicked the .exe file?
Fun and well crafted worlds! Though it took me a time to understand how to leave the first room ˄˄
Thank you for sharing your game :)
