Biggest issue is the lack of pixel snapping.
I wandered around for a bit too long before I realized that E started working (I mashed it when I first started, but it did nothing). So, then I had to backtrack a LONG way to go to where the arrow pointed.
Once I got there... I had no idea what to do. I tried a bunch of stuff before giving up.
I feel like you were trying to lead into something, and be mysterious, but honestly the player needs some more direction, and some more information. I couldn't figure out when I could go into the nether, and how I could get into it (jumping?), it was too short. But even then, I still didn't know what I was supposed to do...
The animations were high quality, but lacked some polish (the player jumped off a few pixels before starting the animation, which was jarring).
Sometimes you just need to walk into the woods and catch some fireflies! :P I liked the atmosphere the music and the detailed sprites give to this game. Great mood. Also nice use of color palette for the nether world.
Beautiful game. It was so calming, just running around catching fireflies and transporting myself into the very realms of death to ascend to the great beyond. I love it.
I finished the game. I think. I found a door or some sort and the game went black. I don't get what I should do or did I break it. Whats good about this game is that it has great art work and design.
Restrictions:
Sadly, you made it obvious you didn't use the 84x48 screen limitation. You show it even on the cover. xD
Other than restrictions:
I think it would need a bit more explanation. I was just running around helplessly... Until I found out I can catch fireflies... And then I was running around helplessly. And the I found out I can switch to black... I think you get how it continues. Overall you did a great job on the visuals, they look neat. But this game needs some more gameplay mechanics.
Cute animations and nice aesthetics in general! Although I must say I felt a little lost and I had no clue what I have to do. There is an arrow pointing to an object once you change the plane but after reaching it nothing seemed to happen.
