What an absolute gem of a game.
It was challenging, simple, addictive and oh my oh my the story <3
Everyone SHOULD play through all the 4 levels to get to the end, it will culminate the story...
Absolute favourite of mine this jam around.
Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed the story!
A well-polished game! Great job!
Thank you very much!
Having made a sadder themed game myself, I liked the tone of your entry. The music fits wonderfully for that feeling. Having the intro be the title screen worked really well. It's a little too difficult for me but the controls are very good and the follow your heart mechanic is super cool. I love the art style and the animations are great. My biggest complaint is having the r key be reset and the e key be the one that activates the heart. I keep hitting the reset button by accident when trying to quickly jump and use the heart. At first, I didn't even notice it was a reset button and thought I had crashed the game or died or something. Really an amazing job though and I'm going to come back to it in a bit and try again.
Thank you for the detailed feedback! I'll update the controls after the jam.
i got to play it again when I had a bit more time and finally got through it all. What an emotional ride. Love the mechanics and how the ending changes the meaning of all the dialogue and feel of the levels. Also got to say again the movement for the character just feels fantastic. I especially love the slide. Good luck with the Jam!
I'm glad you finished it! Thanks again! I sincerely appreciate it!
It is unclear how to pass the second level. And I don't like death in the game.
I'm sorry you had issues with the second level. I'm not quite sure what you mean about death in the game., but thank you for playing!
"death in the game": I mean by this the moments when the character dies in the game and you have to start over the level or from the checkpoint. At level 1, I often hit spikes
I hate you, this was too god, I cried, now I need some ice cream
I'm glad you liked it! Enjoy your ice cream! Thanks for playing!
Nice game
Thank you!
This was an amazing game! Great pixel art, Great music, and great story. The gameplay was fluid and everything felt extremely polished. One of my favorites of the game jam.
Thank you! I really enjoyed your game as well!
It was a great game, I did not expect that ending though. Very nice!
Thanks!
I expected this game to be a hard platformer, not hard on my feelings! Beautiful
Thank you! I didn't want to make it too hard, or people might not complete it.
Minimalism at its best. Graphics, music, emotional story. Everything fell into place perfectly. Great job.
Thank you!
Beautiful animated flowing hair sprite, and perfectly timed/animated opening Title. Had a bit of trouble with the controls as a few others have mentioned, but the game is overflowing with a minimalist style that immediately draws you in.
Thank you for the kind words and feedback, I appreciate it!
The graphics and music are stunning, truly a beautiful game! I have a lot of trouble with the controls, nothing that hasn't already being said in the comments, and I must be missing something, but I'm stuck here in T pose near the beginning :
This happens when I use the E key to move the heart and immediately hold W and D to move right up to the next platform. (If I don't hold the keys immediately, the heart disables itself and I have no choice but to kill the protagonist to restart.) When the heart I'm controlling touches the heart on the platform, this happens.
If there's something I can do differently to progress further I will, because your game is amazing.
Oh interesting. I'm sorry this is causing issues for you. I can't seem to replicate it, but if the heart mechanic is causing you to not be able to progress, you should be able to wall climb the wall on the right or, you can get a slight speed boost by dashing with Shift and jumping from the platform. Again, I'm really sorry this is causing issues for you and I hope can finish the game. Thank you for the feedback!
I love everything about this game
Thank you very much!
Sincerely wonderful. I echo the "E" key issue that a lot of people brought up, but it wasn't too big an issue and the story is so deftly told that I didn't mind that much. The syncing of the music and SFX at one point... man.
Thank you! The music syncing was quite the challenge for me.
Yeah, I loved it! Great job.
The story is so touching.. it make my heart sink.
Took a while for me to know that you can dash using shift and can use the heart mid air. But other than that, the game is really great. Great Job
Thank you for the feedback! I'll try to be more clear with the controls next time.
I am crying now
:'(
what about my game
I like the story of the game and the gameplay! As other people have said it is tough to use e key and wasd but I figured it out. The story has so much depth for a game made in 9 days! 9.5/10.
Thank you! Yeah, next time I'll make sure to add separate key binds.
Yow i like your game. Love the simple graphics and the control.
Thank you!
The sound design and story were great but the controls were a pain. Wanting to aim the heart up with W but then pressing E to activate it was horrible. Personally I would've used arrow keys instead and made Z the button to activate the heart then your hands aren't as close together.
That's exactly the type of feedback I'm looking for, thank you! I never tried playing with both hands, so I didn't think of that. Thanks again!
Yoo I like it soo much, graphics are simple yet catchy also story telling is on point !
Great job <3
Thank you!
