Good game and very relaxing. The only thing I wish I could change was moving a little faster.
Thanks for playing through it! The movement is something I'll definitely be updating in the future, thanks for the suggestion!
I like the visual, like the music, overall the atmosphere is very well done!
Not sure why, but when I press the space button, the game is freezing.
Thanks for playing through it! This bug should now be fixed - if you ever get a chance let me know if it's still freezing for you.
This is a great looking game, the lighting and effects really helped to give it a very polished feel. I also liked how the puzzles were very clear in what you needed to do without needing excessive explanation.
Thanks a lot for your compliments, and for playing through it! I will build on the idea of needing less explanations, and no UI I think :).
The animations and models are amazing in this game! The UI while simple was also very neat. You did things very solidly!
I appreciate the compliments! Thank you for spending time going through it.
Really nice walking-simulator :P
Not being sarcastic here! I felt calm and was helping the souls while looking at nice pillars, listening to nice music and had a good time!
It could be a bit faster, more puzzles and some stepping sound?
Over all I enjoyed it!
Hahah glad you liked it! Thanks for the great suggestions, a few people have mentioned movement can be improved and I agree. Stepping sounds are a great idea as well.
I thought this game was really cool because it shows what good VFX, textures and ambiance can add to a game. I mean you're just a guy walking around, but it's a cool place to walk around in! Great glowing staff!
hahah thanks a lot, I'm glad you enjoyed the experience!
The visual aesthetic is outstanding! I love the concept of guiding souls to the afterlife. Were the souls the light spheres?
Thanks a ton, glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, the thought came to me that perhaps that wasn't clear, but there's always room to keep working on this :D. Thanks again!
Fantastic. Well done. My only suggestion would be background music that is a little less repetitive.
Thank you so much for playing through it! And thanks for the feedback, you're the first to make the point about the music it was actually a pain point for me, I ran out of time to extend the track and I wish I could have! hahah. I will be extending it quite a bit, and making new music for when you enter the pyramid and do puzzles in there as well :D.
What a beautiful game! I really liked the lighting and the music was great, I thought the light 'pick up' sound was really satisfying too.
My only criticism would be the game seemed a little jittery/laggy at times (could just be me though). Overall I thought this was a really great game and impressive that it was made by only 1 person. Well done! :)
Thanks so much for your kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's probably 'not' just you, though you are the first to point out performance issues - I have a lot of real-time lights going on and I assume it doesn't perform well on some systems - I will look into it!
Excellent game, I loved the vibe and the aesthetics just made it. Fantastic work, keep it up, I'd love to download a Windows build and play it locally to get the full experience. I know WebGL can butcher some lighting effects.
Awesome, thank you so much for going through it! I'll try and upload a Windows build here soon. I'll be updating it with some tweaks to the speed of walking, more puzzles, etc too :).
Windows build is up in case you are interested!
This is great! I love the atmosphere, the lights, and even how pretty you made the starting screen, golden ankh with pretty reflections and nice font and all. Really, putting looks AND a nice game in a one-week jam is very impressive.
Like others said, I think Anubi would have gained a lot from being able to run quite a bi faster, sometimes exploring a room feels a bit like a chore just because of character speed. If you ever do update that poke me because I want to make a couple of friends try this out too =)
Thanks a ton for playing it! Yeah, the walk speed definitely needs some tweaking, I completely agree. I want to maintain the theme of slower exploration where you're able to take in the environment, and balance it out with being able to move at a decent speed and not feel like you're just dragging along! I'll definitely be working on this aspect as I continue to work on this :). And, I will definitely let you know when I do update it, I plan on adding the whole interior of the 'Pyramid' full of puzzles. Thanks again!
Really well done - like the vantage point and it ran reasonably ok on my laptop. Only thing I'd probably change would be the ability to skip the dialog when hitting start. Well done!
Excellent feedback and thank you for playing through this!
Very pretty (even on my 2013 computer) and a great concept. Areas possibly a bit large or Anubis a lil slow - the last puzzle engaged my mind after getting it wrong the third time :)
As observed in other comment, intro probably should be slightly shorter just due to the jam audience.
Awesome, thank you so much for playing through it! I've gotten your feedback from a few people and I will definitely take that into account when I keep building this!
I really liked how you pulled off the lighting in this game. It was really atmospheric. Obviously things like more complicated puzzles and the like would be welcome updates. But good work all the same!
Thanks a lot for this! Yeah, more complicated puzzles are definitely something I want to do, and I'll be working on those in the future :D.
Found the movement to be a bit slow for the size of the level but I was able to complete the game. Good job. I like use of lighting and the font is cool too.
Thanks a lot for playing through it! Level size was a bit large even for me hahah. I will improve this as I update it in the future.
Congrats on completing the jam! A minute+ long unskippable intro is pretty lengthy for a game jam - maybe add a skip or put the story into it's own menu item. I found the sound to be very loud, a volume slider would also be awesome. I also pressed space bar trying to see if I could make the character move faster/dodge roll/etc and it froze the game.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
The 'freezing' but should now be fixed!
great visuals, cool game.
Thanks for playing!
Very aesthetic game and nice take on the theme, could have done with some way to run to speed up a bit though
Thanks for the tip! It's a good one, I though about this too hahah.
Nice aesthetics. Sometimes shadows are strange but visuals creates good atmosphere.
awesome, appreciate you running through it!
Fixed the shadows :D
Nice visuals. For some reason pressing space bar froze the game
Thanks for this! I'll look into this bug
This bug should now be fixed - thanks for being the first to spot it! If you ever get a chance, could you let me know if it still happens to you?
