Really polished and nailed your prompts, but it's a bit unclear at times. Overall though I really enjoyed it.
Pretty fun platformer, easily conveyed and with a moderate amount of difficulty, though with the controls being a little bit slippy I think the game could have been a little more generous in some areas. My main point of criticisim is that the dangerous spikes / terrain blended in too well with the background to the point where I died at the first gap 5 times before I realised that I was dying to what I thought was the background.
Well done though, it's a pretty good entry!
Nice ambient lighting, immersive game!
good game, well polished and fun
The platforming felt really nice and polished! I also liked the atmosphere and how dark everything was. Though there were a lot of places where I died when there wasn't anything there, or maybe I'm blind?
good game but it could use more check marks and a how-to-play menu. good job
You should tell players what to do. I t took me a while to figure it out. Some players might quit for not knowing what to do. I finished it and I would like to see players trying to speedrun this. Overall it was fun.
Great job conveying everything the player needs to know without a huge wall of text. Music isn't for every game but I feel like some ambient noise would add to the dark atmosphere. But maybe the lack of sound was to intended to emphasize the isolation in which case it did. It feels really polished too which is sometimes hard to do in a game jam. Good work :D
Really great atmosphere! The platforming mechanics felt super smooth too, and the level layout was well done! Sometimes it was hard to tell what was background and what harms you, but otherwise it was really good!
