the art and the mood change between day and night is cool! the controls are a little frustrating but the art and the music and the tutorial levels are well made! I struggled with level 3 a lot though haha

Really like the mood and music ambience. I get a bit stuck on the 3-4 level, but I can't tell if is because of the controllers or because Im jus't clumsy. 
Good work guys! Specially considering you were just 2 persons!

I'm sure that's not the case :) Even I struggle to complete the game...that's just how tricky and dodgy the controls are. However, we do intend to fix this issue ASAP!

This was a nice platformer, with good use of music and nice work sticking to the theme. I'm not the best at platformers and found the controls a little difficult, but I could see this working well as a mobile game with touch screen controls. Once you get into it's quite intuitive. It's also quite challenging. Well done to the two of you for making this in a week!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Fixing the controls is on our priority list of things to do. Truth be told, we knew the controls were gonna give most people (if not everyone) a hard time when we submitted the game, but we did not manage to fix the issue in time!

We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused!

The changing colours is nice, and overall a solid platform game-jam game. As @thegiorghoney said, it’d be nice if the day/night cycle connected with the gameplay.

Developer

Thank you!

It is definitely a mechanic I want to expand on, and I already have  a couple of ideas I want to put in motion.

The controls were a bit difficult, but the art, mood and music are nice! The transition from day to night is great.

Thank you!

We will definitely fix the dreadful controls system!

Love the mood and art, specially when night falls.

Unfortunately I found controls a bit difficult, so I’ve not been able to move particularly forward.

The day/night cycle is interesting in this kind of game, have you considered to add a mechanic in relation to it? For example during night some platforms are visible, so the player have to wait until it and then rush the rest of the level and stuff like this (if you inserted something like this yet, sorry, but I I couldn’t finish the game :c )

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, we have thought about implementing new mechanics around the day/night cycle to integrate it into the game-play, and we do intend to expand on it in future updates.

We will definitely fix the controls in the near future!

I'm sorry that you had difficulties playing the game ):

That is definitely a possibility, considering I already had an idea for a story in mind but did not have the time to implement it into the game.

Thanks for the feedback!

Cool idea! Controls were a bit difficult - in particular i found it frustrating that the double jump doesn't always work

Developer

Thanks!

Yeah, we were painfully aware of it but could not fix it in time :(

Found the controls a bit tricky but I liked the atmosphere the style of the graphics - well done!

Developer

Thank you!

I totally agree that the controls and the animations are a bit wonky at the moment.
