Really nice game, the music and the whole feeling was very weel polished. Text boxes were also just in place.  Good job!

Wonderful experience, it really felt like a complete game. Sadly I couldn't pass the flying section and the character ended stuck in the air when I was spamming flying and dashing at the same time.

This game looks super polished! The assets the music the game feel! Amazing! I wish you had more people rating you! You deserved at least 50 plays!

I loved the aesthetic and the quiet music, it has such a good atmosphere. Lots of care went into the colors, particles  and animations. It also had a really satisfying sense of progression with the upgrades and achievements, kept me playing till the end. Also nice use of the theme!

This is such a good game very well done. It is so smooth and visually stunning. The game just compels you to keep going. Unlocking abilities and unfolding narrative. The sprite lighting adds so much mood to the game. You have knocked this one out of the park.

Nice game. Got stuck on the level when you get the double jump, but will come back and try again after trying out some other submissions.

Developer

That's new. I will assume either R or right click didn't work. may i know your browser?

Developer

Love the art, everything complements each other so well. And the music and sounds are superb, very fitting and gives great feedback to every action. Well done!

Developer

Thank you, i appreciate that.

I really liked the game. The art was really good and coherent. I like that you included checkpoints. They were very useful. The music and sfx were nice but the volume was a bit low. I liked that there were alternative controls.

This game is so well done, I really wanted to keep playing but got stuck on flying through the spikes, easily in my top 5 of this game jam. The music, the artwork, the story and level design were top notch.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing and thank you for the feedback. i appreciate that.

The last word on the last level is "Overcome" so i wanted to make it a bit harder. But it seems to get too hard. I will fix it later.

Submitted(+1)

it didn’t really feel like it was way too difficult I’m just trying to get through as many reviews as possible so didn’t have the time to keep attempting that section and I already knew I was going to give it 5/5 full score. I’m in the same boat lol I made my game too hard for most people that played it. 

Developer(+1)

Oh, i see. that's good to hear.

Your submission is really well done. i need a lot of try to get used to the control. 537 is my last attempt. But at least I can do a backflip without dying now lol. hope you can find a sound that didn't break the aesthetic.

The game comes together quite nicely. The aesthetic is consistent, the atmosphere, movement and music blend well together. 

I'll be honest, i thought it was just another "narrative" game to detract from the lack of content. But  i was wrong, and happy to be proven wrong. If you have the patience to overcome the incipient stages of the game, it can quickly become a fun and challenging game.

Adding the flight ability at the end seemed to be overpowered, but then you had me go through the dream section and i realised that you should have given me the invincibility superpower lol.  

All in all, i think it's a well done and polished game.

The ping had me going for just a moment. Great aesthetic! Good use of the theme. Fun puzzle platformer. Great music choice for the game, gave it a good atmosphere. I wish the spikes went down when you died to them so I don't have to run myself into them again to lower them. I really enjoyed playing this.

Developer

Thanks for playing. I will keep your feedback for the update.

Yeah, that steam thing had me looking at my messages going, WHO KEEPS PINGING ME!? lol Gameplay was smooth.  I found it very difficult at the end with the spikes on top and bottom.  I couldn't get the timing down right with the jumping.  Sometimes I could dash immediately after the air jump and sometimes I couldn't.  I did manage to beat it with 7/7 items and 2/7 achievements.  Great job doing this by yourself!  The concept was great and I thought it felt very polished. 

Developer

Thanks for playing.

Haha, sorry for the sound, it's not game-breaking so i will change it after the jam.

Thanks for mentioning the dash problem. i will check it out.

Very good visuals and mechanics. I loved the overall feel.

Cool game, nice visual and atmosphere, could be nice to have controller compatibility, sice you can move but you can't jump or dash.

I menaged to finish the game, it was all pretty easy and not really challenging (I still find the game fun and interesting thanks to the theme and atmosphere) exept the last level (where you unlock the last ability) where I had to retry a lot of times, imho it was a bit too big of a difficulty spyke.

The music was relly good, but one of the sound used is a bit too similar to the steam notification sound, so it made me doublecheck more thime that i would like to admit XD

It was a relly interesting game, I'll have a look at your other games

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing. 

I will consider the controller for the update.

Sorry for the notification sound. I didn't know that. I will also change it later.

I will also love to get your feedback on my other game :)

This game is something. 

Achievements are a great addition to the game.  Story is mystic and music fits well. Standard platformer mechanics are very well done with the animation of the cube, good job!

The only thing I don't like is the flying level. It's hard and I stopped there because couldn't get passed it. And flying seams off to me, it doesn't recognize every click somehow (either space or left mouse click). Is that the last level?

btw. Sound of cube re-spawning is just like a steam message so it messed with me for sometime :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing. 

Yes, the flying level is the last one. Thanks for the controls report i will look at it. 

Sorry for the checkpoint sound. I didn't know that.
