Very good visuals and very frustrating too haha a fun ragegame. Good work!
Overall it was pretty good, visuals are really nice, the background music is cool and the gameplay was simple yet fun. The ending was a bit too difficult for me :D
Thank you, and next time I’ll make the ending a bit easier, have another path or easier mode :)
Took me forever to find the path to keep moving after the first gates because I couldn’t tell there was an opening there and had bounced off spots right next to it, so it read like a solid wall to me. I think the visual effects are cool but the ground is really noisy in spots where it matters. I actually think having more light would make the game feel more challenging in the dark sections, since right now you basically can’t see anything and know there’s no danger so you might as well just blindly bump your way out of it.
I gave up at the section that was just a bunch of red boxes in a slightly offset grid. I am absolutely terrible at any sort of projectile/trajectory based games so it was always going to be an uphill battle for me to enjoy the gameplay. I’m not sure I could get past that section without the gravity constantly pulling down, with it I actually think it is literally impossible for me. So some kind of gravity-free easy mode, and/or an accessibility mode would be cool.
It was kinda annoying to not have a full screen option as I kept clicking out of the window, but I did get used to that.
Song is bumping, great work there. Even if it’s not to my personal taste, this is a really solid and well made game. Great work :)
Thank you for playing :), sorry if it was a bit too dark for you next time I’ll have an easier/brighter mode. I I also added the itch full screen built in full screen button originally but it didn’t work so I had to remove it.
I’m glad you think it’s well made though and that you like the music.
Unfortunately I basically lost the last day of the jam due to an emergency. 😅
Visuals here were super cool! Gameplay was also pretty neat with how dark the environment was contrasted with the blue and red and green. The very last part with all those red diamonds was so hard too but after I beat it I felt like a true gamer >:) Also great music!
Thank you, I spend so long on making sure the game looked good, when I usually focus on the programming more, so I'm glad you liked it :)
Very decent entry, I really enjoyed level design and green checkpoints especially, it fits theme of jam perfectly!
Thank you :)
Awoseme aesthetics and the music fits perfectly with everything else, I enjoyed the experience, good job! ^^
Thank you so much :)
The music fits the game very well. The glowing also helps nicely with giving the player a bit of anticipation of what's to come. Sadly the part with all the red blocks in a grid pattern was too frustrating for me so I wasn't able to get to the end. Nicely made game though
Thank you, and I know the red bricks are tricky, you have to go very slow. Next time ill make it a bit easier haha.
Good use of colors, nice music choice, cool gameplay. Well done 😊
Thank you :)
Nice effects! Was a little dark in there. Perhaps obstacles like walls and cubes could have an unlit shader?
Thank you and i thought about an unlit shader, but it didn't fit well.
Overall game is good, next time choose better music, no hate
Sorry the music wasn't to your taste.
its okay, im sorry if its to mean
The movement mechanic on it's own wouldn't be that special, but lighting (or lack thereof) really takes this game up a notch. Incredible atmosphere as you slowly navigate the darkness with a great soundtrack brings out a sense of mystery. One of the most interesting speedrun ideas that I've played so far.
Thank you, I wanted to see how far I could go with simple movement and a mysterious atmosphere, giving that feeling of exploration too. Im glad you liked it :)
Interesting movement, but I found it hard to tell where I was going with the shadows
Thank you and that was kind of the point, for the game to be mysterious as you explore around
Game play isn't interesting, you nailed the theme, the music needs volume control it gets too loud had to mute the tab. Aessthetics and the theme are on point
Sorry the gameplay wasn't your taste
Banger Soundtrack, love the control scheme. Nice atmosphere. I assume not seeing obstacles well against the background was a deliberate choice. Enjoyed it a lot.
Thank you so much and Yep wanted it to be mysterious and a bit tricky with the obstacles unless your close to them.
Oh man I love this game, it's so simple but really well made. The simple lightning and background really gives a serene atmosphere and you feel oddly attached to the blue ball. The controls feel fair and responsive, the blue thing that appears when you click is super satisfying. I wish there were sound effects and music because that would be awesome.
The final section feels really emotional, great storytelling !
Edit : I'm an idiot there's music I hadn't plugged in my headset
Thank you so much, I'm gladded you liked the game :)
Cool game
Thank you
Great visuals, simple yet mesmerising. Perfectly encapsulates the theme, gameplay is simple yet very good, if not a bit tricky at times. music was also very good and made me feel a bit less bad about being entirely stuck at the section with a grid of red cubes. i feel like if the cubes were a bit more aligned, that section would have been way more doable
Thank you so much and unfortunately i didn't have time to align everything due to an emergency, but that adds to the trickiness :)
cool atmosphere! Game is very visually appealing and pretty fun.
Good work!
Thank you
Really fun almost maze like game! Both are games use the same type of control. Overall really good job!
Thank you so much
Cool game! Nice controls :D I think it would be nice if there were some pointer to the next checkpoint as I think I got lost for a bit after the third checkpoint
Thank you and ill keep that in mind for next time, just thought it would be good to have that mystery feeling to the game as you move around.
