Excellent game, great use of secrets, and the use of ghost to give hints was brilliant. I hate the slidey jump and the delay on keyboard detecting jump pressed but that's probably just me.

Fab game - as someone who generally isn't a big fan of platformers, you got me playing for a good run. Graphically very well-done, and a very pleasing set of secrets. I love the idea of presenting the player with a simple-looking level with so much depth behind it!

I really enjoyed this. It felt like a perfect, elegant interpretation of the theme. I loved the visual style and the audio felt perfectly suited to the game.

One of the best games in this jam, in my opinion. I genuinely enjoyed hunting for the endings. Had two major 'neuron activation' moments: when I brought out the torch and when I reached the clouds location (keeping it vague to avoid spoilers). I really liked it — this was fantastic work!

The power of a secret is that it makes people want to reveal/uncover it, this game was able to make it happen, so my curiosity led me to keep playing the game until I found all the endings. The simple story and visuals kept me focused on the 'secret', instead of making me distracted. I'll give you 10/10 for this!

This game is the example of true game design. The idea/concept is absolutely brilliant. This is unique. This is just a platformer, but the satisfaction to find all the different endings was just wonderful. The game is polished well, audio is just right and difficulty is perfect.

Outstanding job!

Really unique Idea I loved it. I actually had to try to get all the endings. The difficulty was perfect, the gameplay unique. This was just a fantastic idea perfectly executed.

Fantastic game, extremely well executed and genuinely satisfying to find all the endings. The devs should be extremely proud of what they've achieved!

That was absolutely amazing. I think I played for about an hour, but it took me and 2 other people to figure the last red ending. I also got the secret ending. Personally, I think the movement is a little frustrating because when you press left or right, you don't immediately start walking. However, literally everything else other than that, it was perfect. Probably the best game I've played for the jam, and I've rated/played almost 20.  I would love if you uploaded a walkthrough for others to finish! Amazing job, you should be very proud!

Great game! A very solid platformer, with great gameplay, art and music. Nice work!

A beautiful game. It was fun to explore all the secrets. I found myself humming the melody which sounds different even in the clouds. Nice.

Very fun platformer! It took me a while to realize that there is a hidden path to the left - felt kind of stupid afterwards.

I love the ghost mechanic for tips and overall it feels like a very polished game. Well done!

That was an impressive choose-your-own-ending game! I not only like the world but also the way the different versions of the background music changed depending on what level you are entering and on how seamless it sounded! I found every ending there is and I enjoyed the journey. :)

Cool platformer, with a lot of hidden aspects. I loved the minimalist art-style, changing as you progress. The music was fun, without being too repetitive.  And the mechanics were simple and easy to learn.

Great job!

Such a fun game with surprises and twists. Love the puzzles and the tileset design.

This is honestly just amazing, i think the only thing from now on for this game an ability for the player ( i really wanted to see abilities for the player) and more levels.
