Holy cow this is fantastic. Such a beautiful and unique take on the theme. The art is beautiful and the puzzles were engaging.

Developer

thank you so much:)

Wow, That was some journey. I got too engrossed into it. The music and art was pristine.

The melancholic nature of night was rightly portrayed in the music as well as the aesthetic. Well Done

BTW, Would love for you to try my game too.

It is an Action Platformer with unique controls.

Beatiful game! The music was a bit eerie and it felt like something creepy was going to happen :P Both the art and the music were really well done

Developer

Guys, I have a problem with rating your game. There are just not enough stars provided to give the exceptional rating your amazing work deserves... You created a gem of game - very, very well done! 

Developer(+1)

thank you so much! i am so flattered:)

Gorgeous game! The music and art are amazing! Loved the puzzles, they are cute and relaxing!
Just, I didn't quite get the orbit positions on the last puzzle.

Amazing piece of art :)

Developer(+1)

thank you!

same a for the "big moons", there is a pattern for orbits. here is a hint. you see that the big moons are following some time cycle. the small ones also do it - for each next position (=time) they are moving on certain distance on their orbits (each has it's own period of rotation around 'big moon'). hope it helps you:)

It goes without saying, the art for this game is amazing. Plus the music fit the theme perfectly. This is one of the most interesting games I've seen so far. Really great work Sleep, the blackbird team.

Developer

thank you so much! i really appreciate that you noticed that music and art match each other:)

This game is really good, and the art is amazing! I must say I feel really stupid, but the first puzzle is really hard!

Developer

thanks!

maybe it will help if you try to look for some characteristic pattern: for example horns of the deer or two parallel curved brunces of the owl

Absolutely amazing art and music. Really nice way to present a story with the scrolling images rather than just replacing the entire image as is normally done in visual novel type games.

I did struggle a while to match the rings around the moons near the end, I'm unsure if there was some pattern to it that I'm just unfamiliar with, but it seemed really random.

Developer

thank you!

well, there is a pattern. here is a hint. you see that the big moons are following some time cycle. the small ones also do it - for each next position (=time) they are moving on certain distance on their orbits (each has it's own period of rotation around 'big moon'). hope it helps you:)

Woow, this looks really nice. Good job making such cool art in such a short time. Lovely sound design too!! <3

Developer(+1)

thanks:) well, making such hand-drawn art takes a lot of time. Sadly i didn't have time for making more sophisticated animations

Submitted(+1)

i didn't "miss" more animations, it worked really well as is
