The game is stunning in terms of graphics and has a really psychedelic feel. The blink mechanic was difficult to use as I found it hard to judge depth accurately in the mostly empty landscape.

Some bugs:

  • Dialogue keeps triggering if you move close to an NPC
  • In the first scene, I was able to clip through the porch of a neighbor's house

However, it was still a good game and good job for putting it together in such a short amount of time!

Thanks for the feedback! i appreciate it, at least i know what to improve to other GJ :) I will also planning to check your game tommorow.

What really stands out to me is that dreamy art style. While in the first area, I must have dropped through something because I was half the height of all my robo neighbours, however, I was still able to proceed and then it fixed itself in the next area. The dream world had a really nice look and feel to it. The post-processing coloring you did worked really well for the environment and same with the general style of the world. 

I do agree that the mouse feels a bit loose in a way and I had a challenge with the blink effect. Because the icon goes out further than the range of the blink, I was overestimating my ability to get across the gaps. I had a similar challenge in the game I made for another jam.

Overall, really cool and glad I got to check it out.

As others have already mentioned, the mouse sensitivity was too fast, and the parkour was a bit difficult. I didn't know there was a moving platform, and I just jumped back. When I realized I'd made a mistake, I tried to get back to the house, but I failed. The stage restarts from the beginning :'). Maybe you can add a checkpoint somewhere around the map.

The concept here is good, especially the environment, which is so abstract and very suitable for the concept of the game in a dream. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for the review bro:)  There are checkpoints you probably just miss them or maybe its just my false that i forgot to tag them that they are visible :D But i will keep in that in mind and try to improve thnaks:)

cool art and concept of the game, I got troubled by the mouse sensitivity a little bit, and got a hard time on travelling between the rocks xD.

Like the graphics and the twist but the parkour was a bit difficult
