How does you game fit the theme?
It's not the game you think it is.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote the code and created the art, and I used existing assets for the music and font.

Love the art and was fun seeing where this game would go! I think you might like what I made too - would love to hear your thoughts!
Nice little one! I really like the handdrawn artstyle, movement and the comments when failing haha. Probably some different platformes could be a really cool addon!
Loved the art style and the catch. I was enjoying the relaxing atmosphere from the unreal game and the music as well.
Loved the assets, specially the character with its hand drawn pencil design and oriental design. Somehow the platforms decreased velocity until they suddenly stopped for some reason, and to reactivate them I needed to go to a lower platform, didn't understand how that worked. When I reached the 2-minute mark, the game ended and loaded me to the main menu again. Would have loved to use the WASD keys to move also.
I gave a solid 5/5. This game reminds me of some flash games I used to play when I was a little kid, the design coupled with the music probably achieves this effect.
The twist was unexpected and I had fun exploring. Played a few times before reading the comments and seeing the way to find the "true ending" I guess I could say.
Amazing job, please make more games and have fun jamming!! ^^
Wow thank you thank you!! That means so much. 🤍 I'm so jazzed that people like you were able to find my game 🤍
Really like the simple art style. The game is pretty fun too. Nice job
Great game, after finding the dark and totally not a cult room and lighting the totally not a cult fire I can say that I really liked this game. The main platforming aspect of it is great fun to relax, while the out-of-bounds secrets are also very interesting. Thank you for making this game, I will now go theorize about the game.
Omg yay!!! I'm so happy you completed it. I suspect that the majority of players will never realize there's something more, so I feel super super happy that at least one person did 🤍🤍 Thank you very much for taking the time to really play this game!
No problem, I was going to rate it but then saw the darkroom in one of the photos which caused me to start exploring, I was hugging a wall to see if its some weird clipping situation (backrooms style) but then I noticed the wall cuts off at a point so I went to explore and ended up finding this. I think I ended up finding all the rooms there were.
Besides the secret room stuff, the game itself has great art, and your music choice was fitting and also just good music. So yeah, great game overall, I think it definitely deserves to be in the top 50 AT LEAST. Definitely one of the gems of the game jam, as I found it with the randomizer. (lucky I did :) )
Wow, that means a lot 🤍🤍🤍 Thanks a ton, you're a real homie
Np, just really liked the game!
I was expecting some kind of high speed platform jumping game. Instead I got to play short, casual and relaxing game. The art and the music are perfect for this game. Congratulation on completing your first game.
Thank you! Haha, yeah like low stakes, major easter egg
Nice simple and short game, i expected a little more for ending but maybe its not real? :) Nice job
Thanks for playing! And just curious, did you get all the way to the dark?
The dark? As i can remmember i survivied 3 minutes and after that the game displayed me a main menu
Ah I see. Well, if you're interested, the "real" game is still in there to be found I think. You can try to get out of the platformer game to find it. The ending is a black screen with a pretty circle and a colorful fire thing. Lmk if you want any more info!
I am attempting to find this, i jumped to the left and right corner of scene but i couldn't find ending yet. All i found is ... a black meteor?
ok - i found it :)
🤍🤍 Woohoo!! Wow thank you so much for continuing to play 🤍🤍
The simple graphics were fun. I wish it have some juiciness to it. I don't think I should have had to made it to the top platform for it to continue scrolling up.
Thanks for the feedback!
The platforms are suppose to transition through random speeds (including 0), but maybe you found a bug 🐛 The code's full of 'em haha. Also, yes and yes to the juiciness. I would've loved to make the dark place larger and use the colorful fires in more places.
This was a really fun game and it was easy to understand how to play too! I really liked the music! Great job for your first completed game though!! :)
Thank you so much!
I'm definitely worried about the real game being too hard to find and understand, but I hope people got it!
What a fun game! I absolutely love this type of gameplay. I found myself just sitting here playing for a long time and before I knew it a bunch of time had passed and me with my clunky hands kept falling off platforms lol
Congratulations on completing your first game! Making games is hard but I think you did super well!
Aw thank you so much! I definitely made movement wayyy harder by forgetting to add WASD controls haha. Hopefully despite that and the platforms, you were still able to make it out eventually!
This is the perfect game to play after completely wrecking my brain in the last-minute time crunch of the jam. Super relaxing and I like how you don't die when you touch the ground. I dunno it feels nice for some wierd reason. My high score is 3 minutes!
Would be cool to see a ramping-up mechanic. Maybe the difficulty gets higher the longer you go.
Great job!
Woohoo thank you! 🤍 Haha yes the final hours of the jam were pretty wild for me too. 3 minutes is awesome! And I totally agree, I would love to add some more complexity to the platformer bit (and also to the adventure bit too haha).
Thank you so much for playing!
Really well implemented simple game. The visuals and music together are lovely.
Well done on completing your first game. Very charming.
🤍🤍 Aww thank you so much!! 🤍🤍
Really chill game! I wish there was WASD controlls and the camera stopped moving a few times for w/e reason. Other than that great work!
Woo thank you! Great feedback, I totally agree with the WASD controls, and yeah I think the camera movement is a bit funky places for sure. Really appreciate you playing through!
Wonderful game environment and ambiance, simple concept, I wish I did something like this haha
But I have no complaints honestly! lol
Wow thank you so much! 🤍 Haha, it was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the theme
Great little game... It was fun to play but I was a tiny bit confused about the mechanics in the beginning because it only started and said "You can do better than that" but all in all i really enjoyed it
Ah, that’s totally fair! Thanks, really appreciate the feedback 🙌🏽
such a simple but relaxing atmosphere. I think it is a very good game.
🤍🤍🤍
Great games! The non-stop mechanic was really nice. It would be nicer if you add wasd key for the movement. Great work anyway!
Shoot yeah, good call I definitely should have WASD movement. Thanks for playing!
Fun little game, Graphics are simple but work really well :)
Aw thank you!
