Amazing game! Congratulations, it was really very well done and polished. The pillow sometimes  feels a little bit glitchy Overall great job!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback and thank you for playing! I will do my best to fix these issues after the jam

I really like this one. The theme is shown really well and I like the shadow clones you have to dodge on the way bacK!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Will be playing yours as well when i have time!

Really nice visual aesthetic and concept!  I love the snore noise - it cracked me up.  The controls felt smooth, and I thought it was very wise to have the control prompts in the background.  Dodging your past selves was an enjoyable challenge.  Keep it up and I can't wait to see what else you create!

Developer

Thank you for your kind words, really motivates me to keep going! Will definitely be playing your game as well! Thank you so much for playing

This game was very fun and challenging, even on normal mode. I thought the music and visuals went really well together, and the player was fun to control. The only issue I really had was with the pillow. It was a little tough to judge where it was going to land when I threw it sometimes. I think adding a reticle or something might be helpful. Only being able to collect it by walking into the side of it was also kind of frustrating, as sometimes I would jump up through it and bounce when I didn't mean to. Other than those problems, really great work!

Developer(+1)

Yea i'm aware of that bug and have plans to fix it afterwards, but i sort of just forgot while fixing other more game breaking bugs. Thank you for playing and reminding me of the bug!

Oh! Sorry, one more thing I wanted to suggest. I wish the game would telegraph a little better when the shadow is about to come out. Maybe if it flashed or something right before a new shadow emerged. I got surprised more than once right at the door by a shadow coming out.

Developer

That was suggested to me by my play testers as well, but i didn't have time to implement it! Will add that after the jam's over!

not much to say just keep it up!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing!

One of my favorite games yet! I've only played the first 6-7 levels and I'm hooked! I had to stop due to classes, but can't wait to play more. Not sure where you when wrong here. You've separated yourself from other platformer submissions with the unique "replay/shadow" effect. The game was fun, challenging, and fair. Art was very polished and music was very fitting as well. I can't really see much wrong. Awesome Submission!

Thank you so much for these kind words! Really motivates me to keep working on it after the jam. Oh and thank you for playing as well! Will definitely be adding your submission to the list of games to play.

So Cool

Submitted(+1)

Really fun! Sometimes it was hard to avoid the shadows because they came out of the entrance right when you went in, and sometimes the music glitched a bit. Besides that, very clever and fun

Developer

Were you playing the html version of the game? The sounds are a little bugged in that one, not much i can do about it. Thank you so much for playing :)

Really enjoyable to play! good job man :)

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! :)

Awesome

It is an amazing game! I enjoyed playing the levels, but I got stuck in some of the final ones. I think that in normal difficulty you could make some of the levels a little bit easier. I loved the graphics and the music. I didn't find any bugs.

Sorry for my bad english.

Developer(+1)

I'm aware that it gets a little difficult at later levels, not much i can do without having to make separate levels for both normal and hard. Thank you so much for playing :) I'll add your game to my list of games to play as well!

Amazing game, really polished!

I really enjoyed playing your game, great experience, and the pixel arts you did for this game in 7 days are amazing, great job, but something I didn't like was the way you grabbed the pillow, just walking through it, I made me rage sometimes because i tried to jump on it and not grab it again, but overall it was a great and nice game! 

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for your feedback! There's an option in the settings to only pick up the pillow with your throw button, so you don't accidentally pick it up by just walking through it. I personally wasn't a fan of that, but it was requested by my play testers, so i added it but didn't enable it by default. Thank you for playing :)

Great game, honstely. The mechanics were fairly intersting, and the game was fiarly polished. Loved the graphics. I do have 1 complain though, and that is that there were quite a few bugs. Some levels didn't load proprley and the game kept lagging, and it's a not a problem with my computer either. I'm guessing it's some sort of broswer problem but it's kind of a bummer to an otherwise great game.

p:s: Please consider checking our game!

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you so much for your feedback! The browser version don't always work as intended and can cause a ton of issues. I've tried the game on Chrome, Firefox and Edge, and chrome had the most issues. If you'd like a better experience, consider trying the executable version! I'll definitely add your game to my list of games to play. Thank you for playing :)
