Very nice game! Nice idea, nice concept. Liked it a lot!
Thanks a lot
Another game that hits it right out of the park. The puzzle design was fantastic and introduced the puzzle elements at the right pace to allow you to understand them. The artwork is great and the sound design is equally good.
Really glad you liked it, and thanks a lot for the comment, always a pleasure to see people enjoying our game!
Really smooth gameplay and the difficulty curve was on point.
Most people including us thought the first platforming bit might've been too hard, but seems like the difficulty worked out for some, which is really great! thanks for your feedback
I liked it very much
Thanks!
Nice game! Graphics were beautiful and the sounds were nice! Really polished for a game jam
Polish took a big during the development of this game honestly, about half of our time was spent on polish, glad it worked out!
The game is so much fun! The game is beautiful, very fun and I had a lot of fun on all levels. Congratulations. Please continue!
We'll continue! thank you :)
Nice game. I like the gimmick. even though I didn't get to use it much.
There instructed controls were kind of hard for me, using one hand only. Luckily I discovered the other - default I guess - key binds. There could be a list for those in the options or something. There also wasn't any notion of being able to reset, was there? You just have to figure it out yourself.
Also, I think there was a sound bug. I kept hearing the footsteps after I stopped moving.
Pretty challenging and fun otherwise, good job!
As for the key binds, you're right, we should've added reconfigurable keybinds, we've added all of the keybinds to the game in the main page so hopefully it'll clear things up, but yeah, restarting the level was essential for some of the puzzles, it's R
The footsteps are a dumb bug it'll get fixed, and as for the main mechanic, the game could be expanded, this is something we really want to do, thanks a lot for your feedback!
This is really fun! I loved playing this game and learning new things about the mechanics!
Thanks a lot!
This is just not my kind of game. Too hard for me. Still, i enjoyed playing what i played. The visuals are so great(!) and the background noise is very fitting.
Yeah we might've made some parts too hard (especially the platforming bit at the start), thanks for your feedback!
Amazing visuals and sound design. I died way too much trying to get that dash in the tutorial, wish there was a checkpoint there so I didn't have to go through so many spikes after each respawn.
Looking back that section might've too hard, could've been a bit more introduction to that, but thanks for your feedback!
A really high quality submission! Great work. I got stuck at a few places, but was really enjoyable throughout.
Also, our games have similar names haha :D
Thanks, and oh yeah we thought of a the same name, the concept is entirely different tho, you went with darkness as the main mechanic and we went with cloning yourself
The pixel art and animation are amazing. But the blind jumps and checkpoints make it too hard.
Thanks! the blind jumps were part of the story, "death is temporary", but it might've been too challenging at the start, thanks for the feedback
Love the Souls inspo with the bon fires! Its super polished and the audio is awesome.
I had some trouble getting through the game and I got stuck with the button and door and couldn't figure out how to go back and press the button.
Really cool features and would love to see more!
Yup, that's the tricky part, you need to activate a death trap to send you back to the door, you can watch HDNua's gameplay (in the comments) to see how to solve this puzzle
I really like it!
Nice mecanic. The feeling is good and the puzzles are great. The "souls" inspiration is well done! :)
Thanks a lot!
I'll waiting for next update of this.
Thanks a lot for playing! glad you managed to figure out all of the puzzles, and it was a lot of fun to watch your gameplay :)
We're hoping to continue this game after the jam, this idea really worked out
Oh and I think it's better to change key settings. Honestly I felt inconvenience a little.
I normally uses C for jump, X for Attack, and Z for Dash.
You know, generally we don't use up button for platforming games.
Yeah true, it would be better to allow the user to reconfigure his keybinds, we'll do something like that in this game or our next game, for sure
Great work on this game! The visuals and polish on the movement really brought the experience together! The platforming was a bit finicky at times though, maybe work on those a bit more next time.
Polish and visuals took most of our time, honestly, happy it all worked out!
I really enjoyed all the parts honestly, I don't think I have anything to say besides bravo!
Oh one note is, please make the reload button a bit further from the main interact button xD.
Next game will have configurable keybinds, for sure, thanks for your feedback!
Very good visuals, I love the animation. I enjoyed it !
Thanks a lot! :)
