What lovely chill game! I really like the level design and interesting take on walking only to the right. Great Job!

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Great submission! I loved the hidden room with the cat! LOL

Developer(+1)

Glad you like that :)

Very well polished game! It was a bit confusing to me as well the first level, totally missed the double jump mechanic (manybe an indication that you can do that can help people not get stuck), but other than that very original puzzle. :) Well done!

Developer

Good suggestion! Thanks for the feedback. :D

This is well done. It starts out confusing, but intentionally so. First I was like - hang on, I can't go backwards and I was a bit against it because that's not what you expect from a platform puzzle type game. But I think it makes for an interesting design and puzzles so I definitely came around to it. I think it would be good to have the character stop just a little bit quicker after I release the key though - a couple of times I just slightly overshot where I wanted to stop and if you can go back on a regular game that's not noticeable but when you can't it's a little frustrating - nothing major though. The same with the going from one side of the screen to the other mechanic - at first it confused me as it's like walking into the abyss sometimes. But I also think that's intentionally so and I picked it up and liked it quite quickly. I didn't find any bugs. I did find a cat the meows nicely but I didn't stroke it as I don't know if it's had its vaccinations :)

Developer

After the jam, I will definitely see if tweaking the friction and/or the speed would help with that. Thanks for the feedback!

I really liked it once I understood it. I get why you chose the single directional movement and it really helped your puzzle design but it was an initial turn off. Still, I came around and really started to enjoy after making my way to a few doors. I didn't see any bugs or issues, awesome game!!

Developer

No problem, thanks for the feedback!

the mechanic with leaving the screen on one end and coming out the oposite is very nice
I'm not a fan of oly moving one way - yes it makes for cool puzzle ideas but it increases the leg work by a lot and the room with the many doors didn't help - at least I passed by the cat 9 times

Such a feel good game!

I completely missed that I could brighten people's lives the first time around so I had to go back and try again. I know I missed at least two, there was no way to go back to them. :(

I thought this felt good. In the beginning I just didn't know that I could double jump so I was stuck on the first level for a bit. But the level design was cool. When I found out I could drop to go to the top I was like :O. The middle bit with all the doors did get a little confusing and at times the just moving left did get a little frustrating but there wasn't much consequence beyond just have to retrack some of the level. Very cool idea fun game :)

Thanks for your feedback. I definitely wanted a maze/matrix feel to the level with the doors. It definitely could have been executed better. Have to think on that. Thanks for playing! :D

Great platformer! Mechanics is really good. Movement are also very smooth. Combination of the music and the colors you chose is awesome! It really makes it chill, matching very well the title you chose. Well done!

Quite a fun experiencing (and sometimes frustrating with no left), had to run aaagaaain the same place when I tried to go too quickly. Should have chilled more :D 

Nice idea though and I liked it.

Submitted(+1)

This one reminds me of Matthew McConaughey, all right all right all right!  Cool concept, not being able to go left adds a degree of difficulty that works well.  Love the chill vibe, well done!

Really smooth controllers, an amazing experience! Loved the overall game feel! It's easy to start, but hard to master :) Good job!

Submitted(+1)

The idea is interesting, being able to move into one direction. Personally, in the end I got very frustrated because I would accidentally step too far and had to go through everything again. Doesn;t mean its bad, means its probably just not for me. Still, a well built game, well done!

Developer(+1)

It's okay, no problem. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Oh my gosh what a lovely little game. I totally forgot you could "brighten" the other aliens by pressing down, and in the very beginning I also forgot what the doors look like - you could possibly make a trigger around all the interactables that just shows a button prompt when you hit them :) But other than that it was very cleverly presented, the levels all made tons of sense, and there was just a lot of content for a jam overall! Great job. Also great use of the theme.

Developer

Oh, that's a great suggestion! Thanks for commenting.

Quite an interesting mechanic to allow only one way movement with teleportation. Simple but effective. It was really fun to play it. sound effects and music was also good. Also there was a cat.

Developer

Thanks for the comment. Yes, there was a cat. :)

Really love this,  one of the most unique concepts I've seen in the jam so far and impressive level design!

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

Wow! This is amazing you got so much out of the simple graphics. I think a lot of that comes from how smooth the controller has over the player character. It felt so good. It was very cohesive. Honestly, just a fun gaming experience. Nice sound, very soothing music. Your level design was very good as well. I loved you game!

Submitted(+1)

Awesome game. Even though you don't die, sometimes you wish you would hahaha. Great job well done

Developer(+1)

Hope I didn't overdo the level with the doors. Thanks for the stream! :)

Submitted(+1)

It took me a while to realize there was a double jump. Nice interpretation of the theme and very nice chill and interesting puzzles.

Congrats
