Wow - this looks amazing! Really well-polished?
The music fit very well and was perfect.
I thought the HUD is pretty good and fits with the overall vibe.
Your logo at the beginning is awesome btw.
I also like that you have a "Quit Game" option haha - not a lot of jam games do that you have to Ctrl-Alt-Delete to exit, so it's nice to have the button in-game!
A few critiques:
- I think it'd be nice if the player moved faster. I found myself a bit impatient waiting for the player to move from place-to-place.
- I think giving hints about where the player might get to eventually might compel the player to move forward more. I get the sense that you "ascend" to be some sort of god-like being, but I think a preview of that power might incentivize the player.
I wasn't clear who was "talking" to me at first through the tutorial and wasn't sure to click - if you could somehow have the text box right above the speaking orb, I think that would help.
- BTW - my massive monitor often struggles when rendering game jam games, but I think the HUD and menu were a bit off as the result of my big monitor.
This is really awesome and I hope to see you continue with it!
