How does your game fit the theme?
IMPORTANT: If you get stuck, make sure to talk to the turtle twice.
The theme is pretty obvious once you play the game (I don't want to spoil anything).
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Pretty much. I used some stock images and free sound effects, but they were all heavily edited.

Honestly a wonderful game! The concept was really good, and the whole aesthetic and color scheme looks great! it kinda reminds me of hollow knight. And the art is beautiful! the characters contrast well with the level and background, and the art has a fitting aesthetic with the mood/tone. Also, the photo shown to you when you beat the game is honestly just beautiful. I'd even be willing to use it as a desktop wallpaper :)
Back to the game itself, even though it took me a while to get used to the dashing mechanic, it felt pretty good once i did. But, the sound of when the level ended and restarted got kinda repetitive after a while. But other than that, I really enjoyed this game, great job!!
Good looking game man. The level design was fun. The art looked good. A couple of minor bugs here and there, but nothing that hindered the game.
A good looking game btw can give my game a review plz
Super great game. The art was nice and the effects at the end when you reached the edge and everything was crumbling was really cool. My favorite part was how the dash mechanic carried over your momentum and let you go super fast. My only complaint was that it felt a little too short. I think if you added a couple more mechanics that complimented the dash and moveset you would have a lot of potential. Keep up the great work!
Loved the game, its good in almost every aspect, simple but cute art style, fun and exciting to play, good mechanics. It has a lot of potential, saddly its really short(Loved the ending scene tho). Honestly you should find a way to make it longer and make a full realese. Congrats, Keep it up!!!
Great game, It's a lot of fun to play even though the dashing feels realy weird. sadly the game is pretty short. If it was longer it would even be more amazing.
great job. keep it up♥
The game could have used more sound effects like footsteps and dashing sfx. Speaking of dashing the dashing mechanic is kinda weird
It actually does have footsteps and a dashing sound. That's really odd that you weren't able to hear them (especially the dashing sound).
Has a Great Potential for a Full Game Release, Good Job
Love the atmosphere/ambience it sets, perfect mechanics, perfect sound effects, simple but perfect visuals, really whish there were more levels though :(
Very aesthetically pleasing! I had fun with this but the dash control was very awkward and clunky. Also it being on the same side of the keyboard as the movement really made it difficult to move and activate (this is probably a personal thing as my old fingers don't move like they used to). Just a suggestion for future projects. If you are going for an all keyboard control scheme, keep both hands busy :) Still, very well done!
Beatifull! Very good graphic and atmoshpere, and implementation of idea is just right. Atmosphere remineded me for level Abyss from Hollow Knight, and thats my favourite location. Dash mechanic is cool, but you need some time to understand how to use it, because sometimes you just dont understand how to controll direction of it. You could add some more levels for it and it will be very good platformer to publish.
Oh, and I forgot - sound was really good, you worked on it well.
P.S Please rate our game too, we were working really hard on it
I really liked this idea and could see this being built into a bigger project. I liked the dashing controls once I got the hang of it. Really great work!
I like this game a lot. the biggest problem that i see in most of these games is no way to exit.
You could do something like/ If (Input.GetKeyDown(Keycode.Escape))
{
Application.Quit();
}
That would be a quick way to allow an exit button to be pressed. Good Game. Keep it up.
Eh, I figure why bother when alt + F4 is already a thing.
I loved the atmosphere and short story! The movement felt very clean, and learning the dash mechanic was fun. The simple pixel art style was great and the sound design was amazing
Pretty Good! I felt that the dash mechanic was a little weird but besides that it was good.
I really liked the visuals, especially your post processing! Also very calm, surreal, and ethereal vibes which were right up my alley. I wish there were some more sound effects to liven things up a little bit, and I found myself stuck not knowing what to do or where to go on the turtle stage, since I was under the impression that "keeping my spirits high" was a hint to keep moving upward, not to the left. I was also wondering what was going on during the last screen, as I couldn't tell that there was no more to it due to the lack of feedback for the player. The game is very artsy so I wasn't sure if this was another scene.
I cannot wait to play some more of your future submissions!
Yeah, the turtle actually has two sets of dialogue with the second giving more instruction, but I can see how you might've missed it.
One of my favorites from this jam! The atmosphere, the gameplay (i love ori and this gives me very ori vibes), the sounds, everything! Really great work!
I really loved the audio on this one! Makes you feel stressed, and has a great ethereal vibe.
On the gameplay part, I think clearer indications should be given to the player, because i was stuck for a while, not really knowing what to do.
Great submission!
Thanks for the feedback! When you were stuck, did you talk to the turtle at all? I tried to have him offer some instruction but it might not have been clear enough.
I talked to him only once in the beginning, maybe I should have given him one more try!
Yeah, he has two sets of dialogue. The second one gives some more instruction.
Really good looking game. The ambiance is also really good ! But, i was stuck at the "New Beginning" screen, is it the end of the game ? If it is, try to make it more understandable so the player doesn't stay there for 5 whole minutes waiting for something haha.
Also, could you review my game ? Thanks in advance !
I like the games atmosphere and the visuals is good. For me did the dash system not work that well and I was therefor not able to get very far. But else I feel like it's a pretty well made game. Well done.
