A very creative take on theme that meshes really well with the lore, kept me engaged. The art is quite pretty, especially the cutscene in the beginning of the main menu. The vibe is very calming and there's some good progressive design going on as far as the platforms and the abilities go - very Hollow Knight-y.
Stuff I think can use some improvement: the character controller. It's a bit difficult to use the wall jump mechanics, and the jumps are very fast which makes it hard to decide where the player's going to fall. I also got softlocked in the middle once.
All in all, a strong entry! Fun, chill and interesting. Cheers!
The mechanics feel pretty good, not too fast, not too slow, which is really important for a platformer, I think. And the arts are lovely, too.. With some more sound fx this would be really juicy!
Pretty creative take on the platforming genre, if not too difficult. I definitely appreciated the checkpoints, and all of the lovely pixel art made for the game!
The cinematics and pixel art are wonderful. I enjoyed the platforming but I wish you kept the wall jump helmet even after you fall so you don't have to do that section over and over. The wall jumps also seem a bit too fast and hard to control. But still very fun and pretty overall.
Thanks for playing! I did art so I'm not sure, but I think that was a bug. Hope you had fun regardless :)
This game really takes a twist on scale (scaling a building) that few other games make use of!! I like the easter egg bear image found in the trees. I'm so glad that the game has reset checkpoints. My heart literally dropped when I thought I was going to fall out of the tree to very bottom.
Thank you for playing, we had a lot of fun making it :)
