nice game uwu. only, at the end you need to fix the sprite or the animation when the child goes to sleep in his bed and you press intentionally up or down arrow.

Too cute. I like how the ghost struggles while lifting her. Good game.

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm happy you like it ^_^

The art style is really great. As a sleepwalker, I can relate.

Developer(+1)

Hahah, thank you so much! I hope there is a friendly ghost taking care of you XD

Probably just me being an idiot, but even after clicking into the game window, the down key just scrolled down my page. Is there anyway I can fix this?

Developer

This happened to me in a few other games I tried to play! It's probably a bug in the itch.io website. Try to refresh the page a few times? Maybe fullscreen will work better in this case. I'm trying to figure out why this happens as well :(

Aight thanks Ill give your game another try!

Submitted

The game worked! I love the art style, but I definitely recommend spending more time on game design if you have the time.

Developer

I'm really glad you could play the game! Thank you for the compliment, but could you explain that suggestion to me?  What do you mean by game design exactly? The menu, the levels, the difficulty...?

Submitted(+1)

I felt like the game was very simple and not challenging. even though it was super enjoyable, i feel like it had no goal and had more potential to be something better. But then again, it is a game jam and it was only 3 days so don't take this harshly. Just if you were to make another game with a larger time limit or none at all, I would recomend putting a bit more time into making the game more challenging and more eventful and less repetitive. 

Developer

Oh, don't worry! I completely agree with you. I was just wondering what I could do specifically. I thought about adding more obstacles, definitely other environments such as other rooms or forests would make the game more interesting, but this is a really simple game so I have no idea how to make it challenging other than speeding it up. Anyway, thank you for the heads up!

Submitted(+1)

I love the art style and the concept is cool but I think a left and right for slowing down and speeding up would make the game cooler

Developer

Thank you so much for the feedback! The game slightly speeds up after some obstacles, but choosing a difficulty could be interesting.

hhhmm thats true

Absolutely adorable artwork! Could use more mechanical depth perhaps but a really cute experience!

Developer

Thank you! ^_^ I agree with you, if you have any specific ideas on how to improve the mechanics I would love to hear them!

Submitted

Maybe actions mapped to left and right with corresponding items to avoid, and then some system to randomize which object shows up next so its always a different experience. And then that could be scalable into repeated levels where it gets progressively faster

The artwork is really good nice work.

Developer

Thank you very much! ^_^

Beautiful game.

The world you create is so cool.

Nice interpretation of the theme.

I encounter a bug (i suppose). Was out of energy, but can still up and down my character.

Developer

Thank you so much for such kind words!!! This means a lot to me.
I noticed that bug some hours after posting the game :( Not sure what is causing it, but thank you for telling me either way! I will try to fix it.

I got to a point where with no energy I could fly infinitely :')
