This had wonderful presentation. I love the colour palette you picked, and you used it very well. The atmosphere was very sinister in a quiet way befitting of a captive situation like this. I was very determined to help this character break free, though doing so proved to be a little frustrating in Chapter 3. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but at times the entity seems to pull you back a bit. Which is great in concept, but a little exasperating when I get pulled into a pit or spikes. That's a very minor criticism though! Everything else about this was on point, and I loved it!
Hmhm, it was intentional. Sort of a downside of me being on map-making in the 11th hour and not really knowing how to load the game with changes. So some challenges like the holes at the end were a little precise for the erratic tugs of day-3.
it is an interesting game of escape, where you have to try and traverse through what feels like a prison, to make it out, it does fit with the theme of 'Make it fly'
do like a repeating cycle to show that it's a progressing story, and it was well done.
though there are a few bugs that I notice, like the screen freezing on the second attempt and being stuck on a tree when being dragged back.
but other than that, it was a good and creative idea with the theme in mind and fit well with the diversifier
It is impressive that this was done in a custom C++ engine. I like the color palette, it feels distinct and unusual, but works well for the game. The red cord effect looks very good. I like the non-literal take on the theme. I don't know if it is supposed to have music/sound? If so, it didn't play for me.
Glad you liked so much of it. ^_^
There was pitching for sound and such, but it was beyond my ability to personally record in the time restraint. We also missed a few features of the core we wanted in, so making sure we hit a finished state for the story was priority.
