Awesome game! I wrote down any thoughts I had while playing so hopefully there's something useful in here:
- Really nice intro screen, main menu, music, makes it feel professional
- Awesome tutorial levels and pacing for the difficulty ramp
- Love the level select screen design, feels very baba is you (which is good)
- Music in game is great
- Sound effects like footstep, poke, toad windup are slightly weak. They did grow on me though so not a huge priority
- The levers/blockade designs are a little weird, why a water droplet?
- Solved "under pressure" level accidentally when I fumbled my controls and switched back but the level is really cool. Somehow make this more intentional to solve (or maybe not since it was a good lesson anyway)
- Every level where you're teaching a new concept is really great at doing that, the overall level design is really solid
- Some of the tutorial images at the beginning of the levels are a little mushy, specifically the sidestep level. The faces don't really seem to match the bodies
- Though the 2nd image here of the fairy being punched is hilarious
- Last level of world 1 says you'll have plenty of time to act if you solve it correctly, and while I got it first try the timing was slightly tighter than I'd imagine
- The strong fairy throwing the other one gave me a laugh, also that running animation for the strong fairy is so good
- Personally I'd like to know how many levels are in an area, like maybe having they greyed out or an outline or something. Without this there's a slight feeling of anxiety instead of anticipation
- "Dreaming to fly" felt a little cluttered with the fairies in a tight space for the solution
- It would be nice if you could see the level name at the top (mostly for writing this feedback), but it's useful for if people want to talk about levels
- Jump pads could use a little polish & speed increase, but the first level with them has a good solution and misdirection on the first attempt
- Maybe the jump pad speed is just for longer ones since next level was fine
That's where I had to stop but really awesome game overall, you should be proud of what you've made. It's a really cute & soulful game with surprisingly great level design!
I like the game enough to the point where I'll come back and finish it when I get a little more time.
