I loved A Short Hike so much. I recommended it to all my gamer friends. Said, "You have to play this game." This was like that experience, but in a game jam package. So very well done, thoughtfully crafted and enjoyable. From the delightful music and sound design, to how the story unravelled and gave you a sweet twist at the end. All the NPCs were charming and this felt like a little space I wanted to spend more time exploring. Superb work here!

The platforming aspects could be a little frustrating at times, but at least it was never too long to get back to where I began. I ran around the island about a dozen times trying to figure out how to progress after the berries. I almost stopped, but I wanted to see the conclusion so badly (especially with that excellent boss hat tease). I knew I needed to do something with the magnifying glass kid, you even had the additional prompt button, but I had no clue how to trigger it. Thank you for putting the minor spoiler in the description, but if the floating mirror looking prompt had just been the "E" button in a frame, I would have known I could interact with the character. At that point in the game my mind only retained WASD to move, space to jump and Q to pull out my camera.

My only other critique would be about the text box triggers. The dialogue would appear from a certain distance, but usually I was moving toward the character because they were all so well done I wanted to look at them, but almost every time I'd then have to back up again to get their conversation within viewing distance. If the dialogue box triggered even just a few steps earlier then I would have been able to read the info, then get a closer look, saving me from backing up and recomposing my view.

This was really a standout game for me. Thanks so much for sharing and I hope this is part of something bigger.

Such a cute game, very nice atmosphere. Good job guys !

this environment was so beautifully crafted!! just got stuck looking at all the cute textures and admiring the glow. the character designs were super sweet too! my favorite was definitley the boss at the top and the helpful cryptid. they were just helping out :') great job and also loved the music!

Wow, blown away. What a really beuatiful and relaxing experince. I enjoyed that there was a little story line to it too. The music was also gorgeous really beautiful and melancholic. The only game so far to make me feel emotions, kind of like that game Spiritfarer. I hope this game ends up really close to the top. One of my favourites of the whole jam, thank you for making this.

Loved it reminded me of TOEM and A small hike. The mechanic was very fun and the gameplay great. I would have like to have a FOV slider, since it a bit to close for me, but still awesome!

Woow everything about this looks and sounds sooo good! Art looks absolutely gorgeous, music fits the game soo well. Couldn't help but smile throughout the whole thing! Would 100% buy this if you worked on this even further and put it up for sale. 5 stars all around

Great game ! Loved the art, the music and the level design of the island. Made me want to buy TOEM. Were you inspired by it ?

what a beautiful game! The props and characters are cute and well made, and I really liked the story too!

This is probably one of my favorite entries so far. I can say I was immersed into the world as it felt like a believable place. Also, I'm not only a sucker for 2D/3D hybrid graphics, but low poly 3D is becoming one of my favorite aesthetics. 

Game play wise, it was fun and I appreciate how you incorporated some platforming elements which was essential to take pictures of certain things. Personally, though, I didn't find enough incentive for taking pictures (I did anyways since that's what the game wanted me to do). I think there's room to expand on that feature - maybe there's a score and/or currency system, maybe you need to take certain pictures to progress to the next area.

Atmosphere wise, the game was pretty relaxing and the music was perfect for the environment. 

Great work overall!

[spoilers]

I loved how you introduced the big foot mystery as you scale up the mountain, and how it ends up tying into the plot - it was pretty wholesome.

This game was beautiful, could not help myself to not look around enjoying the scenery.

The movement controls were a bit harsh, and a bit laggy in the HTML5 version.
The music was a bit loud.

Great art, great music. Disappointed I didn't get to see the island from the lifts view.

Very pleasant game. I liked the music, visuals and ability to adjust mouse sensitivity that was way to high at the beginning (for my mouse settings). Other than that I had to look for ways to progres for a bit and the text spawn distance could be greater. One last issue I had with the game is that there were glass walls, especially in the forest close to the end of the game. For an exploration game I would like to be able to explore every single bit.

i love the art its really good.although the mouse sens is a bit too high and you should hide the mouse cursor

Very cute little game, the graphics are on point! I would have changed some of the colliders used in this game because sometimes you can float in the air.

Lovely! Very well produced too, great job. I think this game achieves exactly what it sets out to achieve. Nice sound effect when the beast disappears. Curious, were you inspired by A Short Hike, or any other game?

Simply beautiful. Art style is fantastic! The gameplay is so relaxing, having achievements would be really cool.

Fantastic! Perfect little relaxing game. Loved the pixel art 3D style and a game about taking pictures lol. Great job!
