Cool game, the art is great well done!
Thanks a lot :)
Nice game.
Nice game.
Nice game.
Thanks!
The theme and mechanics are very cool. I very much liked the bestiary as well, very charming. I personally would have preferred WASD for movement, Space for jump, and Shift for Dash, but there's nothing wrong with the presented keyboard controls either.
The text is all dots for me, which I took to be a quirky "He is a primordial being that speaks languages we don't comprehend and also likes to hum a lot" but the preview images show dialogue in those spots. I was particularly confused when the game over screen had only dots for text lol. I see that others have had this problem on certain browsers, so I can confirm this problem can occur on Chrome.
Overall, even with the browser text bug, I'll be rating this one pretty highly, great stuff.
Thanks for the interesting review!
Honestly, that's not a bad interpretation haha, I wish we had thought of something like that for our story! Unfortunately, that is a bug with the Webgl version of the game when played on certain browsers. So if you're interested in reading the dialogue you can check it out in a different browser maybe! :D
This is a really nice game! I enjoyed the dash mechanic to destroy the enemies in poison gas. I had to switch browsers because for some reason the dialog was only showing punctuation when I ran the game in Opera, but it looked fine on Edge. Thank you!
I'm glad you've tried a different browser and left a nice review. Thanks <3
Controlls actually feel responsive, i like that. As others have already mentioned, if you go into the poisonous cloud left by the dash, character starts playing one animation forever, so you really ned to fix that. Bugfixes, thank god, are allowed after the fact.
It should be fixed now, thanks for your comment <3
Good to know!
Excellent interpretation of the theme, unfortunately I encountered a bug where the character would change shape in a loop without allowing you to move or do anything.
Overall I enjoyed the art the sounds and the story.
Nice work
Hello friend) We're currently trying to fix the issue with displaying dialogues/ UI. On some web browsers fonts are not working correctly that's why it freezes the game(
The bug with the trail should be fixed! Thanks <3

Thanks for your comment, appreciated <3
