Really nice game! The art, sound effects, and music were awesome. I like the idea of the game but when it plays, it feels a little too slow to me.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
You have you gather more totem pieces companions to build taller totems, defeat stronger enemies, and go further.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I did all the programming, dessign, art and fx sounds tasks, except the parallax background layers, terrain tiles and music.

Thank you mate, more people told me that it feels a bit slow so I will keep it in mind next time :)
I'm sorry... but I'm afraid I had to give you 5/5 stars in every category....
Your game is absolutely AWESOME! Beautiful art, music, sfx, mechanics.
The part full of pivot points and yellow fire skulls/faces was absolutely HELL... I've had to try it soo many times I've lost count, specially by the speed it applies to the rotation, sometimes I can't handle it and crash into the skulls/faces. But I love challenges, so I decided to retry as many times as necessary to continue with the game.
By far the most beautiful games I've played in the entire jam.
Amazing job! Congratulations!
Please check mine if you can :) Thanks!

OMG, SOMEONE FINISHED MY GAME !!!! :D Thank you so much mate, your comment made my day, I think that nobody had completed it and there are 50 rates until now. When I designed the many anchors level I never thought people would find it so complicated. The ground collider problem hasn't helped much either :P . So I REALLY appreciate your dedication for finish my game, thank you so much again :) . And of course I am gonna play your game right now.

Why people don't like following my huge arrows ? :_( You missed the most interesting part of the game so I recommend you to give it another try or at least watching the walkthrough, but I know that there is a lot of games in the jam... Anyway thank you so much for the video! I remmember you from BTP Jam 2021, you played my keys game :)

What? This is kinda weird, I 've never heard about that problem, reseting with R or restarting the game should make this issue disappear. Or is it just a figure of speech or a joke? If not, can you give me more information about the issue please? Thank you :)
Amazing game! The checkpoint was really cool and so was the stacking mechanic, I really liked the swings too! The art was amazing too, really liked the lighting! Few things:
- I found it a bit strange how the swings didn't work if you built up directly into them.
- It is almost impossible for me to see what the number on the enemies is, maybe make the numbers bigger
- I kept on encountering this bug which made me clip into the ground, making me unable to progress, I didn't know how to stop the bug from happening
Overall great job!
The anchors only work when you enter the collider when you are falling for avoiding bugs, but yeah it is abit strange. The enemy number were too smal, but at least you noticed them, not bad hahhaha. And yeah, the floor collider problem are killing me. If you want keep playing (there is much more interesting levels later and is a short game) you can avoid the bug pressing space before touching the floor in an anchor or simply trying not to hit floor too strong. Sorry about that and thank you so much for your comprehensive feedback.

Yes, the totem moves slowly because if it hs a lot of movility, building and throwing the totem would become less useful, but maybe i should simply make shorter levels. And yes, the tutorial style is not very pollished because of limited time, and I focused just on usability. Thank you for your feedback, was very useful :)
I'm glad you found it useful! I did not mean to come across as critical of your tutorial, I actually really like it! Most jam games throw a wall of text at you, while you found a way to integrate it with the scenery, which is awesome to me. Personally, I prefer no tutorial, as the player feels a sense of accomplishment when they figure it out. With no tutorial, the game must also be designed in such a way to teach the player things without them realizing, which I really like. The way you did it is the second best approach imo, and I really liked the game :)
