Well, stunning visuals (awesome graphics, effects, the whole ordeal). Great take on the theme, even if it took me a minute or so to get the hang of it. Very intuitive level design, fun and challenging to play. Overall great game.
Wow, blown away by this Noa, well made, well polished, and definitely an overkill for this jam! we know the winner already I think, Good luck! :)
Wow it looks so nice! But its just what i expected! And the gameplay was fun! I love your games :3
If Dark Souls and Hollow Knight had a love child, this beautiful game would be the result.
The graphics are stunning.
For me personally, it was a little too difficult, it was very hard to go upwards without colliding with those falling things. Going into the boss was an insta kill for me, I did this several times by mistake.
I loved the game, and I hope to see more.
By far the best one I've played
Thanks for the awesome feeback everyone! It means a lot :)
Excellent gameplay and visuals pretty characteristic of you! the only thing is like, the third or 4th lvl is kind of hard, but is just my thing. excellent job!
Awsome gameplay and pleasing visuals!
OMG this isn't even a contest! HANDS DOWN BEST VISUALS! The concept is simple and fun, and the sound effects, design and graphics sell the creepy yet charming atmosphere of this game!
Amazing!
Please consider playing and rating my game if you get the chance! It would mean a lot to receive some feedback from one of my favorite youtubers :)
As usual beautiful art style and perfectly in theme. It took me a while to discover the dash, but overall an amazing game!
You guys are teaching the world an art style! Every other comment would be superfluous
I really like it! it looks incredibly polished and the graphics and controls are amazing! my only complaint is that the game window on your itch page was too big so I had to zoom out to play the game but thats just me kinda nitpicking so other than you have yourself a very very good game!
Love the game, like everything made by you. The art is beautyfull, the sounddesign is awesome. The movement felt really good with controller and keyboard. I also like that I can say “I defeated a boss with dying” ;) Good job! If you find time, could you play and rate my game.
Amazingly challenging game!
Very fun game. Pretty hard, but I like hard things. Good Job again Noa
Cool!
Very good game, fun to tryhard, the art style... Nice one !
Super polished game, with high quality visuals. But i didn't expect anything else from Blackthornprod.
Great game!
Very well polished game, obviously. Top marks there.
On theme and gameplay:
I would say it does not feel to me like "failure is progress", because when I'm in walking mode I see the enemies as powerups rather than "fail state"; only when I'm in flying mode do I see enemies as "fail states".
The strategy in this game is - throw myself into an enemy to get to the end of the level fast; to make it interesting you need to have bits where throwing yourself into the enemy is not the optimal choice. You have that at the bit where you need to wait for the enemy to get close to the wall so you can blow it up; but it's frustrating having to wait.
Yeah I agree with you. If the theme were “Hurting is progress” it would fit better
