Really had a pleasant time with this one! The floaty, dreaming sensation really came through, and I liked the variety of environments. I felt like my Hardspace: Shipbreaker skills really came in handy 😅 Awesome job!

Also, it worked on an ultrawide, which is always a pleasant surprise! I played it live here if you want to check it out!

Thank you very much for playing and recording it. Always interesting to see how people react to the game! Glad you liked it!

You're welcome! It was my pleasure 😄

Very interesting game, really liked the music and atmosphere.

The movement was a little strange at first but got used to it. The city level was a refreshing difference from the open space.

Developer

Thank you for playing our game! Glad you liked it!

This was great! The movement mechanic is really interesting, and will allow to create a lot interesting situations or puzzles if you decide to work on the game further. As for visuals, for me, the color switching was really heavy on the eyes.

Developer

I'm really sorry for the orange -> cyan color change. I already reduced the brightness on this biome but maybe I should have done more ^^"

This game was absolutely fantastic! I loved the city level at the end.

I think if the game-play was a little bit faster you could totally make a cool concept out of this. The second level, when it became bright blue had hurt my eyes a little.

Other than that this game was great!

The music and audio was awesome as well :-)

Cheers!

Developer

Thank you for playing our game! Glad you liked it! The music was indeed masterpiece from sfeldman and I am still in love with it!

I love this so much, if I ever make a vr game I'm borrowing this movement mechanic. The atmosphere was so eerie and the movement was just so fun. Great job :D

Developer

thanks a lot!! ^^ I tried to reprocuced the real physics. I wanted to make the colliders make us bounce instead of sliding on them x) but I didn't have the time

nice idea, and interesting movement mechanic!

Audio visual effects are awesome. Great work!!

The game was fun, but I found the stage that switched back and forth from orange and blue to be very intense on the eyes during the blue phase.

Beautiful visuals and music, the dreamy atmosphere definitely fits the theme. The gameplay was enjoyable although I found the movement mechanic a bit confusing at times. Great work!

Submitted(+2)

Surely a very good game mechanic used really well in the levels , i would have loved some more sounds when launching or retireving the ball , but overall great job!

Submitted(+2)

Amazing job! Extremely atmospheric and fittingly dream-like. The main movement mechanic is very intuitive, but has a lot of room to master. There are some areas where the colors of objects and the background changing makes it pretty hard to see what exactly is going on, but still: one of my favorites of the jam so far!

Developer

Thanks for playing and thanks for your really kind words. Glad you liked it!

Quite the original game! I liked the grappling effect, it was a very pleasant experience. Thank you for this!

Developer(+1)

In creating this game, we wanted to create a unique experience for the player, I'm glad it worked!

Very polished submission! The vibe of the game and UX design is really spot-on. Well done!

The game does not seem to run very well for me on macOS here. Clicking around with the external mouse or touchpad does not seem to do anything for me unfortunately. After maybe a minute or two I was able to interact with the objects a bit but it was still a little hard to navigate around. Not sure why.

Thank you for adding an option to modify the mouse sensitivity! Really helped with allowing me to view the world at the speed I am comfortable with. Very important for first-person games. :)

Woah! This game is super polished. It was a little hard to see in the 2nd area when the color changed to green, but the other two areas were gorgeous!!! The city was my favorite. This game has an interesting movement system and I think it was implemented well!

Developer

Thanks a lot for your answer! We had a little trouble making the collectibles visible when the area changes color

A pretty relaxing experience. I especially liked the music in the night city

Submitted(+1)

The beautiful graphics, fluid movement, relaxing gameplay, and just insane level of polish make this one of my favorite entries in this jam. I love how the last level is just a city at night.

Developer

Yeah @WigHz and me were sitting 1 full day down together to polish the game. Glad it turned out well and gets noticed! Thanks for your kind words and glad that you liked it!

Submitted(+1)

Controls were very intuitive and the goal was simple enough to figure out without any instructions. Floating around with a grappling thing was very fun!

Developer

Thank you very much for playing our game and glad you liked it!

Crisp, eye-candy, polished, AMAZING 3D models, intuitive. If I keep going on this game I will use every positive adjective in my arsenal, Brilliant entry my friend ! URE games are only getting better and better.

Visually its very pleasing. For anyone playing, spent some extra time to see other levels.

Developer

Thank you very much for playing our game and glad you liked it! Glad to hear it was worth going for the other levels as well!

Loved the grappling hook mechanic. It was a little hard to figure out what to do at first, but once I understood the control mechanics it was great. Nice feeling of floating through space. Great atmosphere. Fun game!

Edit.. took me two tries to get to the end. I quit early, because I thought I had seen it all, but I came back. Glad to find there's another "level" with a pretty distinct feeling from the open space portions.

Developer

Thank you very much for playing our game and glad you liked it!
