I enjoyed playing, although I didn't manage to complete it. I somehow got trapped in a wall in the first level at one point and had to restart the level, see below (that's what we get for toying with dimensions! :) ). Similar to what someone else commented, it took me "dying" to realize the birds weren't my friends, but maybe I didn't read something close enough. I learned though and next time I avoided them, LOL. I liked the graphics and by the time I played didn't have issues with controls, etc. Great job!

Hi, congrats on your game! :) It was an interesting game, although I didn't manage to complete it. I liked how you implemented the story into the game. At the beginning, I was a bit confused by the text screen, and it took me a while to figure out how to close it. It might be helpful to indicate the button that is responsible for closing those screens within the text itself.

I noticed that this was your first game jam, but you managed to create quite a lot for your game. With time, you'll get the hang of how game jams work :)

If you have some spare time, please try out my game. It's a classic space shooter from the 80s but with a personal touch. Please leave your honest feedback.

Interesting game.  I couldn't pass the flying part.  I pressed E to flip the card and I used W to move up or down depending on which way the gravity was but I couldn't avoid enough of the rocks or I'd go just too low or too high and it would restart.  It would have been nice to see more of the game.  Good job getting all this done solo. 

Interesting take on the theme

I think a lot have issues with the controls - me too.
If you dont want to use the mouse thats fine but if you don't I would recomend that you use W/S for forwards/backwards A/D sideways and Q/E for turning...

At first I thought the birds where my friends - with the little hearts until I died and realised that it was dmg.
I got up to the 2D flying gravity part and managed to stay a float for a while but at some point I always just fell or foated to the top without being able to stop that.

You've done a lot with so many different dimensions that I can see in the photos, but unfortunately I couldn't make it to them. I think you could have polished a few parts even more and left like a part or two away. But good work anyway on submitting and actually getting such a large variety of gameplay inside a bit over a weeks work! :) 

I had the same issue as SpectralShark unfortunately, I just couldn't get past the gravity part, it just kept taking me up, with everything I did. Pressed E tried not to press it, same with W, but still always at some point it took me there. 

I like the idea here and it ties well with the theme, but the movement in first level as well was a bit funky. :D 

I had to stop whem I got to the gravity part because the bird I'm supposed to watch start behind the profile picture so I can't see, and when I do its too late. Interesting concept though

Quite an interesting game. Controls are a bit finicky but that is also a good challenge. in the second part the gravity changed too abruptly that i died multiple times an indication that is easier to understand would be nice ı couldnt understand the bird, maybe a sound indication? Also the information text and lore texts are a bit too long. too much to read at one time. Splitting one long text to multiple bit sized text with a dialogue like system would be good for that. But overall a lot was done in during the given time, it needs polish but it is quite good.

Also forgot to add, adding a button or a menu to decrease/mute sound and music would be nice.

Nice game, good job on the submission!

Very interesting take on the theme, I liked it.  The tank controls for movement were a bit odd and floaty, but nothing too uncomfortable.  The low poly environment was nice, great use of free assets!  Also the music tracks in stages two and three were perfect for the situation.  I would have liked a checkpoint in stage three, it was annoying to have to start the stage all over.  I did make it to the ending though!  It was cool that you fit a bit of a story into a jam game.

There were a few friction points that made the experience a bit more frustrating than I would like.  In the second stage, sometimes the gravity would switch right before I grabbed a fragment, so I would miss it.  And I didn't want to cut it too close to the end to make it easier to grab, because the bottom of the screen kills you from much further away than I would expect.  Thankfully though, if I missed a fragment I could just keep trying when it came around again, so it wasn't that bad.

In the third stage, there was a point about halfway through where spiders came and killed me twice while I was trying to read the dialogue before I noticed what was happening.  It would be nice for the dialogue to pause the game maybe, or if the spiders stood out more against the dark background it would be easier to notice them moving.

Also I didn't realize for a while that the rotation controls were based on the colored axis lines.  It would be nice if the lines were a bit brighter or thicker so it was easier to see the color.  However, for my experience it would be more intuitive if the controls were based on the character's rotation, rather than an external object's rotation.

The floating background objects in the third stage were awesome though, good job on the environment.  I especially liked the vfx for the portal thing that takes you between stages.  That was made in Unity VFX graph?  It was hard to make out exactly what each particle looked like (for the purposes of trying to make something similar :) ), but the overall effect was very cool with the colors and all!

I do want to make it clear at the end here that I enjoyed my time in this game, great job!

A very interesting concept. I think that if you put in the effort and time, you'll get a decent game. You did a great job!

Fatal Frame for kids ^^

I thought the beginning of the game was really nice. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get passed the auto-scrolling flying bit. I just wasn't able to grasp the concept of what was going on. It would've been cool to see the rest of the game. The screenshots look nice :(

Fun game!  I like the photography theme, and thing it's a more thoughtful interaction model than shooting things with a gun.  I kinda figured out the flying picture level, but it seemed to be a lot going on.  Consider starting with fewer mechanics and layering them on as the player progresses, similar to what's done in the first level.

I had some difficulty reading the tips because they were very small, especially the notebook next to the camera.  I also missed the "Press E to pick up the camera" message - can the player just pick that up by walking to it like the mushrooms and photos?

Fun looking game with great music, and I love the idea of defeating enemies by capturing them in a photo with your camera, really fits with the theme of the jam I think.

I got to the part with the dice floating in space, but I couldn't progress past the fourth or so die. It rotated a bit off-centre, like the top was no longer level, maybe that was what caused it? I also struggled with the 2D asteroids-like segment, though I got the hang of it in the end. I think it would have been useful to have a visual indicator of which way gravity was pointing, that would have made it easier and quicker to understand.

Besides that, I'm a little sorry I didn't figure out how to scroll down in the textboxes, as you'd obviously put effort into the story and I would have loved to be able to read all of it!

Looks like a fun concept! I couldn't get past the 2D paper segment though. On my first attempt I almost had it, but after the first time it reset the controls felt like they became unresponsive and I'd get pushed to the top or bottom. Tried a few times to see if I was doing something wrong but no luck.
