This art is just amazing, beautiful. I really think that the game should have kept the style and not even try this platforming stuff, just the talks and pretty art.

I did consider doing that but I thought it wouldn’t be very engaging without something for the player to really do. But in the end I didn’t have the time to really make the platforming sections as good as I wanted anyway. Your feedback is very much appreciated btw.

The art is very good. So far the best I've seen in this jam. The gameplay feels a bit off though. I'm not really sure what the core of this game is supposed to be, and the controls for the platforming section feel clunky and hard to manage.

The most beautiful art I've ever seen in jam, really amazing!! The jump is quite difficult, so i couldn't reach the end of the level :/

Amazing work!

Hi there, thanks for playing! I see what you're talking about with the first jumping section and have patched an issue with the rising floor. It should now rise slower and should be more fair. Discovered a bug where the floor would rise halfway through the level and then straight to the top instantly so that may have been where you had issues. I've since fixed the issue.
