Really love the feel of this game, would love to play more in this kind of world! The hidden mechanics of the different sprites kind of made it hard for me to know what was going on, but I see how it fits the theme of the jam. Outside of the jam, it might make be nice to surface a little more of that if you're planning on expanding on this idea. Good job!
Incredible aesthetics! I think it's too difficult, but overall a really cool execution
Thank you ! Its a puzzle, you probably started with a difficult sprite, let it go and maybe try with another one, as we wrote in the brief, it becomes very fun
Great game, I'm amazed it has such good artwork from 48 hours!
Fantastic art! The art and music pair well with the simple gameplay to create a relaxing atmosphere. The jar did get caught at the bottom of the screen though, and I couldn't shake it free. Very enjoyable experience overall!
This game is like a breath of fresh air in this jam.
It's the only game that is relaxing but still out of control.
After rating roughly 120 games, this is the first game that made me feel some peace. After all of the games with uncomfortable controls and where everything goes wrong and everything explodes and just plainly stressful, this game made me feel calm.
The art style is vey nice. (not really a critic, but glad to see something that is not pixel art, asset flips, or simple shapes)
The audio is so good, I'm still listening it while writing this. And I didn't even notice it was still playing.
I gave this game one of the highest ratings I've given in this jam.
A simple, beautiful game with a light take on the theme. A game that captured my attention the moment started. And I must say it was a satisfying and wholesome joy to play it. I didn't know something so short can be so satisfying. 5 stars all around!
This is a really well presented game and is even more impressive considering you made all the art and sounds during the jam! I almost caught all of them but I just couldn't manage the last one sadly. Still an interesting game mechanic and I had a lot of fun playing it!
A super beautiful game, I like the simple gameplay and the nice use of the theme, awesome job on this it was nice to play! :)
art was great, definitely evokes the feeling of being “out of control”
cool game !!! very beutiful i had alot of fun . can u please try my game ?
Very beautiful! It took me a lot longer to collect all pixies than I expected. I could totally see this being a relaxing minigame in some epic adventure RPG.
I thought it was really funny that some of spirits really didn't like to be in the bottle, or didn't like to be near other spirits. I had a lot of fun collecting them all in the bottle. The controls feel great.
This game is very very cool! the visuals are astonishing, please keep working on it even after the jam, i really enjoyed it, good job! Please check out my game too :D
Thank you for your feedback ! I will !
Nice job! I really enjoyed the style of the environment and breathtaking gameplay. Well done! :D
^_^ thanks
This looks beautiful for a jam game
Very cute game, I was playing and thinking "this not losing control at all" until it finally began, it was the kind of surprise I was hoping with the games in the jam, great job.
Thank you! When you loose control in our game, that means that one of the spirits does not want to stay in the bottle and has its own motifs, consider letting it go outside to tame it using different sequence.
We updated the brief description of our game on this site so that it becomes more clear for players.
Very attractive and engaging game, well done! Art is absolutely amazing, love it!!! I really enjoy meditative gameplay — just awesome!
Nice graphics, and I like the concept!
Lovely graphics, interesting game. I included it in my GMTK Game Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)
Jupi, we appreciate your help and it was fun to watch ! You started with catching the blue one, which is Sadness, and the green one which is Trust, while sadness on its own is very heavy to control, trust is not very easy too
- Consider replaying the game and finding better combination/sequence! - there is more depth to this game
