very cool game, great platformer
Thank you :))
The intro is exceptional!!
Ahh thank you!
Very nice game! It feels very complete, great initial idea, well executed and full of depth (heh). Absolutely loved the graphics and the story at the beginning.
Thank you so much :))
Upper echelon entry. All aspects are polished, both concept and execution are fun. Be proud!
Wow what a kind reply! Thank you so much!
No controller support..
Unfortunately I don't have a controller at home to test this :(
I really like this game! The movement is fun, the sounds are cute, and the gameplay is difficult enough that it provides a good challenge. Some of the areas I think are a bit harsh, and I got some flappy bird ptsd when I collected enough feathers to start really chaining the flaps. The only negative point I think I'd have is that it was difficult for me to see some of the toxic gas, as although they are a different colour, their shape blends in to the background quite easily. But hats off to you for making such a well rounded (and extensive) game!
Thank you so much for your feedback! Yes, I believe I made some stuff too difficult and in hindsight would make it more forgiving. And yeah, I understand the toxic gas blending in too much. I will make changes to those following the jam. Thanks again :)
Beautiful art! Was fun searching for feathers and jumping through the obstacles. The jump sound effect is cute also. Nice work!
Haha thank you so much for playing!!
Wow this game is GORGEOUS! And I absolutely love how more of the world opens up as you collect features. Awesome game!
Thank you for playing!!!
