Cool move to do voiceover, well done! I thought that light sword should be a light source too.
A very original way to tell a story :) I wish there were more times when you actually have to use the scaling mechanic
Bit simple, but very cute. Narration was a little quiet, but very well done!
I liked the overall style and atmosphere.
I wonder if the following suggestion could be helpful to you: maybe you could have added some animations to the main character that would suit well the world, nothing super-complex, maybe a like a subtle swivel left and right, as if a child held the character? I think too much stiffness took me out of it.
But I liked the general shadowing looks and the feeling, as well as the VO, which not many jam games usually have.
Thanks for the feedback!
I agree with you, now that you proposed it, it seems obvious it would have improved the feel of the game by a lot.
Thanks for playing !
That was so cute! The narration was good and peaceful I was totally absorbed in the world and excited to continue reading on. I also LOVED the sound effect for killing monsters - very satisfying. The art was simple but gorgeous - the simplicity worked well for it. I am not totally sure how well the theme fit. Getting bigger and smaller was fun for the shadows on the wall, but did not connect that much to gameplay or combat (besides fitting into a couple tunnels). Either way very enjoyable indeed!
Thanks a lot for the comment,
I didn´t have the time left to put in the puzzles with the size change, I prioritized having a small but complete story.
Thanks for the feedback! It made my day!
Very clever use of shadows for the gameplay!
I would've liked more animation for the player and the combat could have been better.
But it's a good take on the theme and a cool little story, congrats!
Cool art style and clever use of the theme!!
Love the style
J'ai beaucoup aimé le fait que l'on voit une ombre projetée sur le mur. Ca a créé son petit effet wow !
Une petite aventure narrative sympathique, au gameplay simple.
Chouette travail pour cette gamejam (surtout si tu as tout fait tout seul).
Merci pour le retour! La game jam a été dev avec https://simoncros.itch.io/ (qui s'est occupé de la majorité du code)!
