Wow! What a beautiful game!
You got me the second I saw the games profile picture and the music made just even better!
Controls are on point. I can imagine some think its too floaty but I like it way more than when a game is too fast. Thanks for having us old people in mind :P
The theme is very well done and little details like the bird make it look even more polished.
very well done!
Thank you a lot for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed our game =D !
For many jams, the most common feedback we had was that the difficulty curves of our games were too steep, so we tried to be more careful with that aspect while making this game. Your feedback is really valuable to us, because it's the proof that we are on the right track =) !
Oh my god. So thoroughly enjoyed this idea. What a lovely interpretation of the theme. I had a similar idea but chose not to pursue it because I thought it would not be fun, but this has completely proved me wrong. Great work :D
Thank you a lot ! It was a delicate balance for the game to not be too frustrating, so your feedback is really valuable to us =).
Amazingly done, the sound, art, puzzles, story, and all! Very simple controls, easy to pick up and get going. I truly enjoyed it :) I got stuck on how to beat the shadow guy at one part, so it was nice that I could pick a level to continue with the story/game! Definitely my favorite submission so far!
Thank you for your feedback !
Yeah, we saw a bit too late that it was not clear how to pass the first shadow guy ^^'. We had time to update the Windows version to make it more obvious, but the WebGL build took too long and we couldn't upload it... It's always in the last minute that you realise the glaring flaws =p.
We are glad you could still enjoy the game despite this =) !
WOW this game is a 10/10. from the little interactive audio touches to the beautiful graphics and the mind-twisting puzzles, the amount of work and love in this game is off the charts. for a jam game this is super impressive and y'all should be proud. really well done!!
What an awesome review ! We are really glad that the masterminds behind Lori enjoy our game ^^ ! You feedback means a lot to us, thank you !
A fun, short, and well looking colourful game, and so far as I've seen, a pretty well done take on the theme.
A few points of critique. The middle/"real" screen is near to useless. I think I only used it for a short bit in the beginning, after that I stopped looking at it, which is a big shame as it ends up literally taking a third of the screen. Also I managed to defeat the shadow 3 times in unintended ways. Why unintended? Because I could see where you were supposed to kill it, and I decided to just cheese it. Maybe look into making sure that their environment is properly tested.
Thank you for your feedback !
We totally agree that a third of the screen is not useful in these levels ^^'. In fact, originally, we intended to have 3 more levels where the character's reflection was not visible, so you would have to look at the reflection to know the layout of the level, but then focus on the "real" world to navigate. Unfortunally, we didn't have time to create those levels ^^'.
For the shadows, congratulations if you've found some cheese =D. We didn't have time to organize a playtest with external players (that damn time limitation =p !), that's something we will prioritize for the next jam, thank you =).
Extremely polished and well-crafted game. Good use of the theme. Amazing submission!
Kudos to the team!
Thank you a lot ! We are glad you liked it =D !
wow, this was my favourite game so far! the concept is explored so well and I constantly felt like I was advancing. Lots of nice touches with the graphics and audio too.
Thank you so much, we’re very glad you enjoyed our game!
Your feedback is really appreciated!
Really cool and fun to play!
Yhank you, glad you liked it!
This is a really great and well polished game. The reflection mechanic is just really clever and unique. Great work!
Thank you very much for your nice comment! :)
Wow i really enjoyed, it's fun and easy to navigate. I like the cool palette and minimalist graphics. Amazing work!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed our game!
Wow, this game is good... It is insane what you made in this short period of time! I played from start till the end and I really enjoyed all the aspects of the game. I really liked that you had to look at different reflection in order to solve the levels, incredible job!
Thank you so much for your nice comment, it really means a lot to us!
We’re very glad you enjoyed your playthrough of our game :)
Very cool, clean polished game. It is just genius.
Thank you very much!
Really nice job. I love how the mirror shows the correct paths. It's challenging and fun to play. I like the forgiving respawns, not making you go back too far is great and encouraged me to keep playing.
Thank you for your feedback!
A forgiving respawn was definitely what we went for, we’re glad you noticed and liked this detail :)
This game was amazing. At first I told myself it couldn't be too hard to just pay attention to the mirror world, but man did I die an embarrassing amount of times to the "real worlds" illusions. Loved the ending and narrative sprinkled through out the levels. I don't know if it was intentional but when I had to make blind jumps off screen that was stressful. The only problem I encountered was the mirror world camera being noticeably jittery in the forest levels. Really enjoyed this game, 5 star rating
Thank you so much for your nice review of our game, it really means a lot to us!
When you cannot see the platforms anymore, you can always go back a little and try to memorize where they are, that’s what we tried to make the player do :)
I agree with the movement of the camera of some forest level, we’ll try to look into that.
You made a lot of level during this short period of time. This is just so amazing.
Thank you very much!
Very clever. I liked it. Only issue I had is that some parts the camera wasn't zoomed out far enough to see the reflection to know where to jump.
Thank you!
It was like this on purpose, to force you to remember where the platforms were :)
Really love the concept! I tried really hard to navigate the shadow player puzzle later, but I think it might be bugged for me? The camera was no longer moving and so I couldn't change my sight of them well. I played the web version by the way.
Thank you for your kind words ^^ ! We have modified that section in the windows version because it was not clear enough, but couldn't update the web version. The platform is shorter on the left side, so you can drop from it without the enemy falling. We have a full playthrough of the game, in case you are stuck (note that this is the windows version, but it's the same thing in the web version, just a bit less clear ^^')
Got ya! I'll give it another go! Really love the concept! Oh and the text changing on the reflection is an excellent detail.
very cool idea.
Thanks!
