very nicely done for your first jam! it doesn’t look like a first-timer :) good job!

Really enjoyed this one!  Really nice execution overall :D

I do wonder if the assumingly nice surface of relaxion and positivity and the correspondig "to not look back / to move forward in life"-gameplay mechanic is all but a smoke screen to trap us all in an endless sadistic maze that promises progress but instead sets us back in life at will and forces us to walk but in one direction again and again until our feet are bleeding always chasing for the next bit of shiny golden coin; the possibilty to govern our own life all but taken away from us?!

its these question this game makes me ask myself...

so well done you guys.

I think this is a very philosophical platformer :D. The mechanics resemble a simple platformer, but you were able to make it outstanding and completely different than most such games. I didn't know at first what to do with the first puzzles, but I figured it out in the end.

The game you're describing is a fascinating experience that really grabs you from the start. Its dynamics keep you hooked and wanting to continue playing it until the end. The main character feels very well designed, with smooth gameplay and an emotional connection that draws you into the story.

One of the most ingenious features of the game is the mechanic of not being able to go back. This adds an extra challenge and forces you to make quick and strategic decisions, as every move counts and can have significant consequences. This restriction keeps you constantly on your toes and further immerses you in the plot of the game.

In addition to the innovative mechanics, the game also features a variety of well-designed challenges, puzzles, and enemies that keep the interest level high at all times. Each new level or scenario presents new obstacles and surprises, preventing the experience from becoming repetitive and monotonous.

The graphics and music also contribute to the immersion in the game. The environments are beautifully designed, with carefully crafted details that immerse you in a rich and vibrant world. The background music is perfectly adapted to each situation, creating an exciting and captivating atmosphere.

In short, this game is highly recommended for those who are looking for an addictive and intriguing gaming experience. With its inventive mechanics, well-developed characters, and exciting challenges, it will keep you entertained for hours and you'll want to keep playing until you reach the end. Get ready for a unique and exciting adventure that you will not be able to forget!
