Amazing visual style and love the mix of visual and aural storytelling. Sometimes it was hard to hear the narration over the music and getting sent back to the start of the level felt punishing sometimes, but this was such a stunning game and everything worked together to deliver a great emotional experience. Great job!
Thank you for the kind words and feedback! I definitely need to fix the audio levels, and I plan on going back and re-evaluating some of the checkpoints to make the game less difficult.
Profound. Definitely a must-play from this jam. I hope all is well with you. Great work. No critiques, I love the transition from falling off the world. The crumbling of the paper is a nice touch.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words. Thankfully, I’m in a much better place now. :)
Go to a personal theme, love graphics like Binding of Isacc, start feeling really sad... And this all I can say. This game has a lot of meaning for the creators. Videogames can make feeling take a form and tell a story, can be anything at this game it's a prove of that.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad the game made you feel something. :)
I really like this game! The platforming was fun and the art was great! I enjoyed learning more and more about the two characters and their relationship as the game went on. If I had one complaint, it would definitely be that the game can be needlessly hard at times. Though other than that, good game!
Thank you! Some people mentioned an extra checkpoint in the wedding level would help, so I'll go through the game once the jam is over and see if I can change some of the harder bits to make them more reasonable. I appreciate you playing and leaving feedback. :)
Very cool.
I am impressed with its audio and graphics.
I like this atmosphere.
Thanks a bunch! I'm glad you liked it. :)
Worth every emotional moment!
Thank you! I really appreciate you playing it and giving the thoughtful feedback on YouTube. :)
Really like the take on the theme and the art style. The voiceover was good, sadly I lost some parts due to the fact I was focused on the levels, subtitles would be a great addiction. Great work!
Thank you for playing and for the feedback! I'm definitely adding subtitles to the game once the jam is over, and fixing the audio levels. Glad you enjoyed it. :)
Loved the game but the audios were a bit diff
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I agree, the audio levels need to be fixed.
What a beautiful game, great job!
Thanks a bunch! I appreciate that. :)
Very interesting idea and well executed paper-artstyle. My main complaint would be that there are no subtitles. The voiceover was a bit hard to follow for me (as a non native listener) because it was pretty to concentrate on the music, the level and the voice at the same time.
Thank you for the feedback! I’m definitely adding subtitles to the game after the jam. It’s been mentioned a few times and I agree that it would help.
A lot of vibes with this game, and I like the simplistic "paper animation"-like artstyle
Nice game and well done ! loved the voiceover. also check out my game !
Beautiful. Just, beautiful.
My only note is that the voiceovers and the soundtrack are a bit loud compared to the rest of the audio. Subtitles could be a good addition as well.
Fantastic! Great work!
Wow, thank you so much! I absolutely loved your work so I’m really happy to hear that you thought highly of mine. I definitely need to fix the audio like you said, though. Once the jam is over I will see what I can do. :)
You're gonna make a grown man cry...
I love media! You can express your emotions via so many ways. Be it writting, drawing, making music, singing or... making games. I adore media that talks about real feelings that everybody of us has and it tickles that empathy even through a game. So with this, well done! You not only made a beautiful game underlined with a beautiful soft voice, but you also reached the heart of the player (in this case me, hehe) ^^
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words. Comments like yours make me feel like I won something even more important than placing high in the jam. :)
That was an emotional game. I loved how the final level is basically the first level, except everything went from sad and gloomy to happy and bright.
thank you! Yeah, I wanted there to be some kind of cyclical feel to her grief, like returning to where she started with what she learned along the way. Thanks for playing!
This game is pretty awesome. Please turn the girl talking up a little so we can here it a little better but other than that really cool
Thanks for pointing that out. I actually turned her up a little before submitting, but it must not have been enough. Once the jam is over I'll do just that. Thanks a bunch for the kind words!
Beautiful game! I really enjoyed playing it! The story was very well put together and conveyed. The art style was really nice too! I noticed during the death animation you still have control of the character and the camera will still follow you. I think there could have been more checkpoints in the wedding level as well. Great work!
Thank you for the great feedback! Once the jam is over I’m going to try and fix that camera issue so it’s not so jarring. I will also look and see about the extra checkpoint as well. :)
Forgot to drop a rating.
This game was great! It was like playing a video game in a book. But I did find a bug, when I died I can still the the bullets that shot me in front of the death screen paper. And those bullets would sometimes kill me again when I just spawned. Overall great game, art, and music!
Thank you for the kind words and for informing me of the bug! I'll patch that out once the jam finishes. I thought I fixed that but apparently I did not lol. I'm glad you liked the game and the aesthetic I chose. :)
Sad rememberable story. It is fitting very well the theme unstable.
Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to play and leave feedback. :)
