  • Great Game! Only feedback would be that maybe integrating a checkpoint system could be a suggestion for future improvement. Well made and cute art :)

Well. The “frustrated” sound is cathartic, but Gumdrop will never get passed the “Secret” sign. Jumping on the knot holes is deeply frustrating.

Superb entry: the music fits very well, the graphics are top notch, and the gameplay is, I think, just as frustrating and rewarding as you want it to be. The environment is great with the fireflies, lanterns, and background really lending to the environment.

I’m deeply tempted to keep going until I sort out the secret and ending. Not finishing will haunt me.

Thanks! And good luck, genuinely - it’s definitely possible to complete both things you mentioned, especially since Crepper did finish them (surprisingly quickly too… I did not expect him to be so much of a gamer, but not in a bad way), which was quite a relief for me at the time, because I wasn’t sure if other players would be able to complete the game

Oops, didn’t mean to make it sound like no-one could do it. I was stuck and am genuinely motivated to get past that spot (which is a good sign!). I really enjoyed playing, and congrats on managing time well. It seems to me that you had wrapped things up early.

Классно.
А музыка вообще кайф.
Единственное, не хватает интерактивной кнопки для отключения диалогов, которые загораются во 2-й, 5-й, 10-й и т.д. раз... ну и их перевода, конечно)))

Nice jumping mechanic, enjoyable, just a bit hard :)

I really enjoyed this game, great art and sound effects. I like the addition of the visual path makes it easier to play without sacrificing the allure of the genre.

This is super cute and I love the bouncy physics! Really satisfying....which is great because it's so frustrating when you miss the jump haha

Fun game, super hard but gives you a little more control/visual feedback than others in the genre I've played which is nice.  Good sound/visuals 👍

This reminds me of some flash game I played back in the day but I can't remember what...

Cool game, not too difficult, bonus points for cute bouncy sphere.

This is absolutely awesome! Very fun gameplay, a lot of polish, everything I could ask for in a tight jam package.

The environment beckons one forward- visual limitations have not halted the artistry of this experience. 

Yet another creature who is drawn to the sky... How peculiar.
