[STORY]
The games overall story is; there's a Forest called "The Forest Of Ether" and in this Forest all is eternal. Similar to the biblical story of Eden, but more akin to an entire spirit realm where beings who have "vibrated high enough" go. In this Forest there is a Monk who decided to follow a prophecy that's known in certain parts of this vast Forrest of a place called
"The Center Of The Forest". Many know of this prophecy but disregard for some say the fact that their souls made it to
'The Forest Of Ether' then they'll be fine without following the prophecy (the dark), and then you have some who dedicates their new found life in 'The Forest Of Ether' to walking the path of the prophecy (the light).

The story then goes on to this monk
(the player) Discovering the location of
'The Center Of The Forest' isn't a physical location but a state of being and when that state of being, state of mind is registered within the soul by meditation, realization and truth, then the Forest itself creates 'The Center Of The Forest' around the soul who became simply "Enlightened". Once this happened the "Dark" and "Light" found out, and now they're both heading towards to monk. The light to transmute the dark and the dark to break the concentration of the Monk so
'The Center Of The Forest' dematerializes itself.

[GAMEPLAY]
TAP THE DARKNESS TO TRANSMUTE IT INTO LIGHT!
TAP THE MONK FOR LIVES!
TAP THE SOUL STOPPER FOR A CHANCE TO STOP SPAWNING

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
PEACE UNTO YOU!
AS 'THE ETHERS' SLOGAN IS
"GAME WITH GOD"
KNOW THAT WE ARE GRATEFUL AND BRING THE LIGHT INTO THIS, FOR THE THEME IS FUN, AND IN GOD, THERE IS FUN!

AND SO IT IS!

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
PEACE UNTO YOU! PAY ATTENTION TO THE POINT BEYOND THE FUN! THERES A NATURAL MYSTIC FLOWING THROUGH THE AIR AS OUR LEGENDS SAY!

OUR INTENTION: OUR INTENTION FOR OUR FIRST GAME 'THE ETHERS' IS FOR ALL TO KNOW THAT SOURCE (GOD) IS INFINITE, SO EVEN IN GAMING SOURCE MAY APPEAR! 5 MONTHS AGO THIS VESSEL KNEW NOT HOW TO CODE AND NOW WITH THE GUIDANCE OF SOURCE WE'RE ABLE TO NOT ONLY DELIVER A GAME ALL CODED BY ONE, WE'RE ALSO ABLE TO SUBTLY TEACH OF THE BEYOND! GAME WITH GOD!

Peace Unto You! Thank you for your presence! We are grateful for your interest in our First game 'The Ethers'! May you please share this light 'The Ethers' with all you know it will serve? 

As it pertains to your statement, know that the browser version of 'The Ethers' is not the same as the app version, as stated in the bottom right of the main menu. We Taylor made the browser version of our first game 'The Ethers' specifically for game jams. 

Thank you, for your presence as it means a lot to us and continue to have fun gaming! 

It's really hard to play. although I'm using PC, I assume this is for mobile. I really love the art style.

Peace Unto You! Thank you so much we are very grateful for your presence! We've read your other comments as well and thank you much!


Yes this game is designed for mobile and the app version of this game is very polished, high fps and more modes. Everything to assist your experience is in the mobile version which is currently released on the Amazon App Store, and soon will be on the Google Play Store and Apples App Store. The intention behind the browser version of the game as seen on itchi is to bring light to the mobile version, though that is, we'll definitely be steadily focused on improving the browser version as much as possible to be on par FPS wise with the mobile version. Keep in mind that this game is intended for mobile play, which is why the game runs phenomenally on mobile. 

May you please continue to play, and share our first game 'The Ethers' for the world, and be on the look out for the mobile release? And know we'll keep your feedback in mind, and move forward in improving the FPS in anyway if possible.

Thank you! We are very grateful!
