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.

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.
