Great, now I will be haunted by whispers when I go to sleep today...
Really cool game, but I got to admit: The game started SOOO strong, I was very thrilled about what's next and how the story setup will convert to the gameplay, but then, well... I am not good at platformers and the controls were reacting too fast for me, so I constantly fell off :-/ It's tough always having to start from the bottom. Had to quit eventually, sorry... Curious though if there was more of the story in the endgame, but I cannot get there.
I wish there were a separate rating for background story/setting/lore. You clearly deserve 5 stars there.
I was not expecting narration! The game is a little bare-bones but the sound design is off the charts! I got stuck at a point because the platforms all disintegrated leaving me nowhere to land and I was out of combo so I just kinda had to wait to die. The lateral movement of the character was a bit hard to control. The kick-flip jump was cool, and the starry boost mode was nice. I especially liked how the creepy whispers grew louder as the grasping hands got closer.
This was one of the overall highest ratings I gave to any of the games that I just reviewed in my livestream!
Really love the voice-over and the sound effects! The whispers make it very creepy, and you do feel surrounded by them. The controls felt pretty floaty, and I feel like I overshot the platforms a lot because it was hard to know how far I'd go. Also once the hands started and I died to them, I would just keep dying over and over because they respawned at the bottom with me. Overall really love the atmosphere, mechanics could just use some subtle tweaks. Great job!
