Love it 

Well done

Developer

thank you! :D

The narrative is really good and the pixel art looks great too! Maybe wall sliding could make you move slower? That might just be personal preference though! Overall, I really enjoyed playing and seeing the little inspirational messages on each level!

Developer

thanks so much! ill take that into account, thanks :)

The artstyle is just adorable, yet so simple and blocky, i dig it. And the message is really heartwarming. I would have loved to hear sound effects with it but still great job, 4 to 5 stars on almost everything :)

Developer

Thanks! and thanks for the feedback, i would have added more sound to it, but i ran out of time :(

There is not so much logic in this game, and the solutions are often found by trial and error. Maybe this is the point?

Developer(+1)

This is a nice game, the pixel art is cute and I like the message! I hadn't thought to go for an inspirational route with this topic but it works pretty well. This game controls pretty well but one problem is that a lot of the inspirational text seems to be off screen, I really enjoyed the stuff I was able to read so it saddens me that I wasn't able to see the rest of it. Other than that this is a pretty good game!

Developer

yeah, the reason for this is because you need to put it on full screen, otherwise it doesnt format correctly :/ thanks for playing it tho :)

Submitted

Yeah I saw your instructions to put it in full screen and I played the entire game in full screen, though that seems to have worked for everyone else so I'm guessing that was probably something on my end. Maybe my screen isn't wide enough lol
