this is a well designed game. It's pretty challenging for me. I loved the music!

Vase MuseumI absolutely loved this! The puzzles are challenging, but fair. The art is great, audio is also great! Great work! ^^

RedDot.HunterReally artsy, kinda wanna have cayote jump since it's a platformer, but overall nice job!
Submitted
it is NOT a PROP!!!Thank you! Actually, there is a cayote jump implemented, otherwise the mechanic would be even harder to use in many areas, it is subtle, so you probably didn't notice in normal jumps, but it would be really punishing without it for times when you have to remove a platform under you and jump at the same time. Thank you for the feedback though, maybe it was too subtle and could be made more forgiving!
I love the art and music. it looks so polished for the small amount of time we had. really impressive.
if you ever keep working on this game please try to make it a little bit easier or maybe have some assist mode or something.
I only say this because I wanted to see more really bad because it was just so pretty but I was just too bad at the game haha.
very well done for only 7 days!

Robot DreamsThank you for the kind words!
If we were to continue on the game, we would most likely redesign the concept a bit. If you get used to it you can play it pretty well and also fast, but that doesnt change the fact that its still pretty difficult and you need time to learn it, but we do have some thoughts on how to make it way easier to handle while still having an interesting (basically the same)concept that could still be challenging but easier for less experienced people.
Thank you for the feedback though! An assist mode for even more accessibility is definitely a great idea! But unfortunately too out of scope for a game jam game, as you probably know haha.
yes I totally get you.
Also remember this is your vision. Sometimes games are just hard for some players. That does not mean you have to change anything.
There are so many hard platformers with great stories where I probably could not finish a single level but I still enjoy watching others play it. :)
I always have fun with puzzle Platformers and the art is really well done it sets up a very interesting tone for the game

Little NinjaGreat platformer, really liked the art and atmosphere!
I think that having WASD for movement and then using E and C for other player mechanics, isn't the best option considering I have more than 1 hand and there are all these other keys on my keyboard. Made the controls a bit awkward.
Still a fun and polished platforming experience.
Hi! Im sorry to hear you had a rougher experience. Have you considered using arrow keys as suggested at the very beginning? I believe using 2 hands would be definitely easier to play the game. And dont worry, you only use E very limited amount of time (4 in total) and it never requires using it with any other key(you just pick up a still item on the ground), so i think it should be fine, but we will keep your feedback in mind for our future games!
Thank you for playing!
Fun concept, used the theme well. Love the graphics and animations, they are gorgeous. I thought it was extremely clever putting the tutorial in the menu. My only issue was that gravity felt a little strong making it pretty difficult to land on the platforms effectively at times.

Life On Earthlovely game! The key bindings are a little frustrating and not intuitive for me, but overall, the game is nice! I see you have put quite the efforts on this! Good job!

Final DestinationI love a good platformer, and this is one of them! I loved the music, you guys nailed the theme, and I am in love with this character design, she seems like someone who's not afraid to take on anything. The levels are all so well designed (I love designing levels myself), I enjoyed this game so much, excellent work!
Submitted
Schrodinger's MouseThank you! Everyone in the team worked really hard on the game, we are glad it delivered! Not sure the levels are that well designed though, I didn't get to focus so much on level design alone, so it's still a mess when it comes to difficulty spikes, I tried to invent ideas that would be somewhat ordered by difficulty while also building on the previous ones, but with limited time, space and experience, the difficulty can spike quite a bit in some areas, well it was a great learning experience and with all the feedback i know how i'd do it better now!
Thank you for playing, if you feel like it, you can also try to find the secret area in the pre-boss level, its not that hard to find, but its very easy to miss!
What a beautiful art style! I love the character and i wish i would be better in these kind of games. For me it was quite difficult. I didn't get far, but i enjoyed it very much. I especially love the details buried in the earth, like bones or unreachable little mushroom caves. <3 Also, your take on the theme and implementation into a game mechanic is very well done!
Submitted
Are you?We are really happy to hear that! I wanted to make the levels more interesting with the little caves and our artist spent a lot of time decorating everything to the point we might have overworked her a bit, it's definitely nice to know it is appreciated! It took us a while to discover the idea, and we now know a slightly better one that would improve the difficulty curve, we learned a lot though so we will make sure the next game will be more accessible for everyone while also still will offer a challenge!
Wow what an amazing little experience! Felt so professionally put together and planned put, loved the implementation of the mechanics and the art style! My one gripe is that something the colliders freak out a bit and screw you out of a jump, but the checkpoint system was forgiving enough to compensate, amazing job
Submitted
It is Not ReelWow!!!!! This was incredible! I ADORE your art style! The background was so nice and Beth's character design is great! The mechanics themselves are well implemented and I thought the design of the levels were really really well done as well! The music is nice and relaxing which partners well with this lush greenscape you have going on! Wonderful work and fun game!
