Great work! Had a lot of fun working through this one, you had a cool concept and did a good job delivering the narrative alongside the platforming! The black and white aesthetic matched the "creepy-pasta" vibes, and the game had a great look. The story was cool and tied into the theme nicely. If I had to ask for any changes, it would be to maybe add a little more polish to the platforming mechanics, like adding some coyote time. But considering the time constraints, I would say this was an excellent project. Nicely done!

I really like how you incorporated the theme into your game and its story. The music really helped fuel and drive the atmosphere from cute and light hearted to suspenseful and creepy. I would have loved to see more and I can see a lot of potential in terms of story telling! Awesome work!

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you enjoyed it , believe me I truly wanted to add more to the story and explain it further , but sadly I couldn't , thanks alot for playing my game and I'm glad you enjoyed it and believe me on this one aswell your game is unique and you also made a great unique storyline for it!

i actually found the jump sound very satisfying, especially spamming it in the section with low ceilings :) for my adhd brain the ending moved a little slow but it was interesting!

Developer

I'm glad you liked it , and I'm also glad you made it to the end without running into issues ,  the jump sound could've been better but its okay , glad you liked it regardless , thank you for playing my game! 

Submitted(+1)

Interesting game, I didn't expect to play a narrativ game so I was a bit surprised but it's really good, the dialogues are interesting, the only problem I have with the game is the jump's sound but good work man ! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks alot you guys made an interesting game aswell , and I'm glad you didn't run into any issues while playing the game , also about the jump well...Uhh...I had two sound effects for the jump one that I used in a previous game and one this one , I had too many things in my mind other than the sound effects so I didn't search or make new ones so I apologize about that! 

Submitted(+1)

Don't worry for the jump's sound, I just noticed that when I was playing but your game has a lot of qualities so at the end I didn't pay attention to that ^^ 

Developer(+1)

I'm very happy to hear that , Thanks alot again for playing <3

Submitted(+1)

Oh wow, very ominous... just how I like it!

Developer

Hi , thanks alot for playing my game , I'm super glad you enjoyed it :D

Great game! loved the music and atmosphere. Did you happen to use GLES3 in Godot? If so I believe that may be the source of your graphical issues. Check out https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/workflow/export/exporting... 

Developer(+1)

hello , thanks alot for playing my game , I never knew the GLES3 could do that , and yes I used it for this project thanks alot I'll look ito it!

Submitted(+1)

I really like your game, especially the music and the aesthetics.

Cool levels and the end storyline was moody but fitting to the game. Glad I tried this out.

Developer

Thanks alot Daham I'm glad you liked it and I'm glad you made it to the end with no issues it makes my day :D

At some point the game glitched and felt weird.

Maybe you are trying to hide the Matrix from all of us.

Developer

lmao , yeah I did mention that the web browser version is kinda buggy

Really nice game and with a really dark story! I like this game! The only two criticisms I will give is:

  1. there are too little levels and game play
  2. the delay between the dialogues are too long

Apart from those, awesome submission!

Developer(+1)

Thanks alot :D

1- I wanted to add more levels and stuff believe me I had alot of ideas for this but I had too many things going on irl that prevented me from doing so...

2-I added that delay because I was afraid some people would complain how fast the dialogue rolls (happened to me in previous game)

Thanks alot for hosting this game jam I've had alot of fun working on this project and participating in the jam! :D

Submitted(+1)

lol funny but now i sad. =(

Developer

why? :(

Submitted(+1)

I liked the game but I kept getting stuck on the second blurry area because I couldn't figure out where to go :( It was fun though! I liked the aesthetic and the music was nice!

Developer(+1)

Thanks alot for commenting , and I apologize about the experience you had with the game , in the second blurry area you gotta wait for few seconds until the dialogue is over about 10-12 seconds I added this mainly because breaked multiple times whenever it tries to transition so I had to make 10-12 seconds to transition to the next scene :)

Submitted(+1)

No problem. I didn't see a dialogue. I waited for maybe like 2 minutes both times. Maybe I'll go back and try again

Developer(+1)

Okay good luck , also I did replay the game multiple times and it works as intended , please let me know if the issue keeps occurring , Thank you!

Developer(+1)

hello again , I updated my game again , so you could try again to see what if it works , also there's a downloadable version now so check it out if you want , THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
