Great to see you using Godot! Amazing first project WOW! You had checkpoints, parallax backgrounds, collectibles, multiple endings, very very impressive!

Random comments: I was spamming the jump button and missed the text showing up when you fall on the first ditch. Maybe allowing the narration to keep playing while you move around could be an option. Very appreciative of the small flashbacks. You did a great job!
Only got one ending as I have to rate other games, congratulations again!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and thank you!

The dialog popup could have had a little longer input delay.

Yeah I get the moving on, about half the games but felt like it took just as long to play and rate them all.

Submitted

Agreed!

loved it! got the best ending after getting every pendant  and almost rage quit the game because i accidentally pressed the quit option when i was near the end but i just played it again ._. but great game with a good story and fun platforming!

Developer(+1)

Oh, sorry about the quit! I'm happy you liked it and thank you for playing.

An awesome entry that’s even more impressive because you made it an all new engine for you! Played on stream and left feedback throughout. Had a blast with it. This game is right up my alley. Well done. 

Developer(+1)

I watched it today because I had to bail after the stream crashed. Thank you for playing on stream and thanks for the feebck!

I am so glad you spend time polishing the controls! i thank you so much, cause when i failed it was my own doing and not bad controls, i was able to beat it, the " I got to know where that sound is coming from" drove me to complete this! I ended with the good ending, fantastic job, oh and also WELCOME TO THE GODOT TEAM! 

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing this and I'm happy you liked it. Yeah GO GODOT! I think I'm sticking with it for a while even if I don't make it to the next round.

The controls felt great to use, and I love how the story gradually revealed itself, and the different endings possible.  Love this game!

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you for playing.

Very cool and fun platformer! The completionist in me kicked in and I got all 25 pendants, I would've had to start all over again if I ended up missing one.

Developer

I suffer from completionism too. Glad you got all of them and thank you for playing.

Good stuff, the knocking was a good hook for the story and the game played pretty smooth! It would be cool to have some subtle footstep/jumping noises and there were a few Leap of faith moments where you couldn't see where you were jumping, but overall I enjoyed it! Satisfying pickup noises and the music kept the tension up too

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing. The leap of faith moments were attempts to have the level design help with the mood and the story. I still have a lot to learn. Footfall sounds would have helped with the mood as well. Thank you for your feedback.

Submitted(+1)

The story was very engaging and well delivered, the platformer controls were great as well. Even though both elements were great individually, I feel that the action packed platforming took away from the mystery of the story, and a slow puzzle platformer would have accompanied it much better. An excellent submission nonetheless.

Developer(+1)

It was planned to be a less action oriented platformer, like a Flashback/Prince of Persia style, but then things changed in development. I can see that matching the theme of the story better. Thank you for your feedback and for playing.

Challenging platforming with great controls. I liked it a lot!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

The controls in the game feel great. Also great job of including multiple ending.

Developer

Thank you, the multiple endings almost didn't make it.

Submitted(+1)

Felt really good to control.  Nice to see a story in a platformer.  Don't always have that.  Nice job.

Developer

Thank you.

Submitted(+1)

Really great submission! Controls feel nice and the story is well paced and engaging. Played through and got all three endings and really enjoyed doing it all three times! Great work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing and watching all the endings!

Haunting with the pipe banging. I really liked the movement and jumping, felt satisfying to get past obstacles :)

Developer

Thank you for playing.

Submitted(+1)

25/25! The platforming of falling and then mid-air jumping to go under an obstacle is so satisfying. The difficulty curve is also fair and balanced. Great job all around. Knock..... knock knock....

Developer

Thank you. I tried to make ramp up the difficulty and leaving the hardest parts for those that wanted to get everything.

i got 23/25 of the coins and there still was a hint that tells "there is better ending" so I wonder how many endings are there hehe

Great mechanics, gret mysterious knocking! Good game

Developer

Thanks for playing. There are three endings based on the amount of pendants you collect.

Submitted(+1)

I really liked it, and it felt really good for doing this while learning how to use Godot!!

Developer

I like it, I think it's a great light weight engine, but I still have a lot to learn. I'm glad you liked the game.

Good stuff. I think the button for skipping dialog should not be the same as the jump button. I accidentally skipped some while jumping. The quick restart from where you fell off is convenient.
Developer(+1)

Good feedback, thank you for playing.

Submitted(+2)

Controlling the player really felt great and I appreciate the controller support. I really like the hints at the story and what the knocking may be.

Developer

I might have gone a little heavy handed on the hints. Thank you for playing!

Really enjoyed playing your game, the sounds and story is really well done and certainly builds up a lot of intrigue and has fantastic endings

Thank you for playing, glad you enjoyed it.
