Super cute player character and awesome audio. The platforming was also very good, but a bit difficult for me.
This is great! Especially after many tries you realize that you can't run away from those feelings.
It is really liberating to literally shoot the character's insecurities, after a few seconds of doing that I assumed the smile on my face. Being chased by insecurities was not so satisfying, it was pretty hideous haha. The art is beautiful and the music is very well placed, good work.
It was fun to shoot down the insecurities and negative thoughts.... less fun when they were chasing me though. Great job!
This game does a LOT right. It has fun gameplay that uses the limitation very well. It's music and sound design capture the mood and feel of the game perfectly. The art does a great job at showing how the player is staying positive in the midst of all the bad thoughts through it's lighting and color use.
All around very impressive game!
I really like the art, and the music is relaxing. It's really hard to wall jump because your momentum doesn't go away when you hit a wall and you can't quickly change direction. I love the player's animation!
btw got your game on video on youtube:
Very cool! Got load of huge gameplay in comparison whith other games from this jam
Really good game! I really liked the particle effects when shooting, and the background music was on point! The player felt a little bit slidey, if that makes sense. The wall jumps were a little bit hard to get a hang of, but once you understood it, you felt like some sort of ninja! Overall, I really enjoyed playing, the music and visuals are great, keep it up!
Hands down the best submission to this jam!
Beautiful music, very nice storytelling, great atmosphere and animations!
The gameplay was also great, I liked that during every jump, I had to trust the arrows, because I couldn't see where I'm going to land.
What you could still improve:
- The "Stop looking at the text" breaks the immersion for me, because they are "the bad feelings" and not just some "text".
- The wall jumps were a bit frustrating, because of the shift key. Maybe it could automatically grab the wall?
All in all, great job! I loved your game!
Thank you very much for your compliments. It was the first time that I composed and played the music on my own and seeing such nice feedback makes me really happy!
The game is beautiful and fun to play. The sound effects are very nice and satisfying! My one improvement would be to make the platforming sections a bit easier because I struggled to do them!
very solid game. really nice and simple I enjoyed it alot. :D
Really enjoyed the start of the game, transition was also very nice. Jumping felt right, animations were fantastic. Had some trouble sticking the landing. The atmosphere was nailed in terms of sound, graphics and theme. Brought me inner peace to shoot down all my worries. Great work!
The character art and animation is amazing.
But i could not reach the wall after i died to the second sidescrolling step.
Thanks for your feedback where exactly?( currently I'm trying to decrease the difficulty)
After reaching 1k score, the words started chasing on the left, the hold shift to wall jump was a difficult to use at first. i just died on the 3rd wall. On respawn. nothing was chasing and the wall was unreachable
Mhm okay that shouldn't happen I'll try to fix it I'm sorry but did the background changed color ?
i dont recall much of the background, maybe light dark. Then broken Words were all over the ground.
Thank you very much for your time! Seems like you skipped right to the end lol whatever I am already seeing the problem!
Wow, the atmosphere in that game is amazing
Thanks for your feedback!
I really loved the aestetic of the game. It didn't feel buggy either. However i think the movement should be different. Acceleration is fine, however i think it should be capped, so it doesnt feel like you lose control. I would also change it so you can jump, both with Space and w, and so you automatically wallslide when pressing against a wall.
i like this graphics and sound, and the game is playable... very nice.
I really like the game. The character's slipperiness was nice, although the momentum could be inconsistent. There was also one jump towards the end of the second platforming checkpoint which I had no clue how to make. The environment and character animation looked good. Solid Job.
Yes I know what you mean thanks for your feedback. I will try to fix it !
