Have i finished this game? The Answer Is Yes! Have I enjoyed it immensely? This unit definitely has but it's still learning how to process emotions. 

Seriously, I haven't expected such an amazing story-driven game . I have a one nasty weakspot  and it's not a tendon, it's a storytelling expierence.  Right from the start the piano hits you right into your fragile soul and sets up the atmosphere of melancholy and  perplexity.  The art and music bind together  perfectly and send you right to the immersion land. Everything was great. The first time i stepped to the bottom i was like *Why the eerie music all the sudden?* and then i got a decent adrenaline rush:).  Character development is done perfectly. I felt for them and once Heart got damaged by the bramble diving from above  - I knew what was going on. I even got a little bit teary, especially in the end! I also had been recording a video of my gameplay but it looks like it had too many emotions and brambles ate it :(. Well, to be honest I've just failed to push the record button on windows game bar. All the technicalities aside, you are very talented and done an amazing job! You have lots of potentional, i hope you release something like that as a full game one day.

I got completely immersed in this experience, incredible job. Hands down one of the best I played on this jam. Te length of the game was not to long, not to short, just right for what it needed to do.

Only two notes:
-I really wish the enemies where utilized more.
-The wait time for the gates to open is just a tad to long, it really hindered the flow of the game.

Keep up the good work, I can really see this game going live on steam or something one day.
Maybe even add some co-op so that two players each control their own character.

Really well done! You have put a lot of work in this game. I can see that you took some inspiration from the BlackThornProd Winner which I also did with my game but you really delivered! Find below my review video:

00:50 The Answer Is Yes

What an absolutely fantastic game. I adore story-driven games as a writer myself and you have captured a beautiful essence of fun and story through this game. The music, atmosphere, and enemies reminded me so much of Hollow Knight! I fell in love with the characters instantly and the level design was fun and a little tense when those non-flesh-beings were chasing after me!

Congratulations on making such an amazing game. I really hope your piece gets a lot of attention! The only criticism I have would come from not having the space bar as jump. But I think that's more of a preference than anything. Well done Jon!

Very cool game! I really liked the atmosphere you managed to create with the more minimalist style and the contrast between the calm starting area and the lower area with the monsters was great. The story was charming too.

My only real gripe was that the door animation felt a bit too long, which was fine outside of the final area where it slowed things down, but it wasn't too big of a deal. Overall, good game!

Wow, great game! Those big monsters was so creepy, hated being near them haha :D Really impressive to create a metroidvania in just a week! I really enjoyed it, the story was very sweet, the music and atmosphere was really great. The only feedback I can think of right now is to shorten the animation when you open a door, started to be a little annoying at the end when there was doors everywhere :D Overall, awesome work!

If you have the time I would love it if you gave my game a try too! :)

What a sweet story, I'm very glad I played through it! The audio design was incredible and really helped sell the atmosphere, especially those massive monsters that chase you. Coming across them for the first time was super tense and the lingering audio cues made it even better.

The only thing I would recommend is making an HTML build so people could play it in the browser.

Really great entry!

AWESOME! I really like the story. The audio, graphics and the game mechanics really go well with each other.

The not-flesh-being-who-feed-on-emotions is a little buggy at times tho.

(I also like the Sparky's double jump animation for some reason)

This is the best game I have seen till now in this jam 5/5!

Awesome game! I always love me some Metroidvania game jam games. The sound design on this one was top notch, especially the monster charging. The art for the most part was really on point, I liked all the minimalist soft shapes and the monster design was really cool. 

However, I feel like the character designs don't match the minimalist environment at all. I think it's because they have a lot of different colors on them and a lot of detail. The robot is almost there but I still think the shading is a bit too much. 

Overall though really atmospheric and good game! The particle effects were really cool, and the dynamic music really helped set the mood of each environment!

Really beautiful and touching game. Love the atmosphere and the piano music.

Escpecially the sound and effects when thouse monsters charge at you are amazingly done. I jumped when one slid down a platform and got me when I thought I was safe :P

One minor issue I had is that at fist I was mashing keyboard until I hit E to pass dialog. But that's on me for not reading the page description.

First of all, I love the story. I like the backtracking and the emotion-eating beings (they gave off a danger vibe) The atmosphere is good although the tilesets could actually use some work. You know your game design well, especially the part where you muted the music because something bad is gonna happen. The game is good and the story is amazing along with the mix of future and magic, good job!

I also use godot on my game so I noticed some things, you forgot to turn off the "export with debug" on. The robot double jump can be fixed (maybe it's intended?) if you parent the sprite to a node2d, this way you can just set the node2d parent scale.x to -1 or 1.
