I liked it. Sound design was good and the ending I got was pretty funny.

Fun game, I like the originality of mechanics, and the music selection is great. Good work!

Developer

Thanks!

Loved the feel of the game, I think you nailed the music selection. The mechanics were fun and I could definitely imagine ways you could expand it into a way longer experience. I would suggest keeping the music going through the ending scene as it would make it feel a little more cinematic. The transition from chill vibes to black screen, no music was a little rough. REALLY impressive work though, it really had a lot of polish that I wasn't expecting!

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed it! Agree the ending needs a little more flavour to it. I've been playing with the idea of either using the music, or having some sort of atmospheric sounds. I was also trying to add some fade and other effects after the final level, however I think I started becoming delirious in the last 12 hrs before release

This was a fun little game, great job especially for being solo! Right as I was getting in the groove the game ending, I was hoping I could get a couple more levels with enemies that would follow me like the house did. The house started to make the level feel fresh and I was looking forward to the next one, but then it was the end of the game. The ending was great, it was nice to see god just backwards ;). Also, I tried going down to see if there was an alternate ending but I just stayed on level1. It would have been cool to find a secret ending by running into the negative stuff enough. It would have been cool to also have a roll/dash mechanic so the ghost can go through objects. Overall it was fun to play, I even craved more levels! Great work!

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it! There are actually a couple endings if you go down all the way. I think because I cut some of the lower levels (due to running out of time for tweaking), it made it harder to find those endings. I think I'll go back and make it a little easier to find.  The "voice" at the negative endings are my favourite after all!


Funny you should mention a dash move. I did originally have that in mind, but was having trouble with implementing it at the time. Maybe I'll consider bringing it back when I add some of the cut content.

How many levels are there? I feel like it ended very suddenly? I was on the level with the cars and the person holding balloons. I was trying to get to them and I felt like I'd hit a car and then instantly was on a different level, I thought I must have gone down a level and thought that was harsh, then I was on the level with the house and I frantically ran around getting balloons and then I completed the level and got a screen saying I made it to the top. 
Nice idea and interesting mechanics but not sure if I had a bugged playthrough.
You also need to tweak your game dimensions in your edit page because its getting clipped and you have to full screen to play

Thanks for the feedback, I'll check out the car section. Perhaps there's a weird bug going on there. I think I'll add a quick UI title at the beginning of each stage to give it a more cohesive feel when you're changing levels.


Shoot, I thought I had fixed the screen size. I'll go in and take a look again. Thanks for letting me know.


Edit: forgot to answer. There are 5 main levels. There's one that's kind of hidden (hint: requires you to go down instead of up. I wanted to have about 10 levels total, however I ran out of time building the core pieces. Looking to add new levels  when I have a little time.

nice game =D

Nice game! Simple, great aesthetics, and perfect length for me. Good job!

Nice game! The music I think is perfect, I had some problems at the beginning, but after a while, I was able to continue! Congrats!

Developer

Thanks! Sounds like something I need to work on. Maybe some tips in the early part of the gameplay would be helpful to everyone.

What a fun little game. The House was an awesome touch, I almost clicked my ruby slipper 3 times. The music was a perfect match for you game too. It was oddly calming even while dodge tight spaces. I really found myself going into a fun little Zen groove. Loved the pictures at the end nice way to personalize it and have others enjoy the things you obviously love in your own life. Awesome job on this one. 

Developer(+1)

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it! This is exactly what I was trying to go for. I like the idea of making an intense-yet-zen type of game.

Fun little game. I did not expect the house to fall on me. haha

Submitted

Nice idea and implementation. I would have loved to have seen more stages and variations on the items.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Yeah, I ran out of time, so I made some cuts to the stages that weren't quite working yet. Once I catch up on some sleep, I think I'll polish those cut stages for another update.

Great game, love the dogs :0)

Only bug I found was when replaying it gets stuck on the cow level

Developer

Thanks for letting me know! Glad you liked it. I think I'll tinker around and figure out some of the bugs. I did have an update that might have created new issues while fixing others...

Nice game, love the art a bit to short and hella trippy.

Developer

Glad you liked it. It was fun learning how to make some of those little models  for this game. Stay tuned, as I mentioned in another comment, I'll be looking to add some of the "cut content" back into the game.

Great game I enjoyed playing it :)

Thanks for the pictures! :D Is this your pet? Nice and chill game for a rainy day with moody music!

Can you play my game, if you have the time?

Developer

Yeah, that's my pup. Glad you enjoyed. Definitely will check out yours today.

yo, thats trippy!

Thanks!

Awesome game with an amazing reward waiting for everyone at the end of the game!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it to the end!

Submitted(+1)

very intelligent idea, it made me sad when it ended so fast, please add more levels.

Developer

Thanks a lot for the feedback. Definitely looking to add some of the "cut content". They missing levels are a little more experimental,  so they've been difficult to get just right, but should be adding them once I've had a little time to rest.

Great idea and execution for the game jam!
