Hello guys, I created this short story driven game for a game jam in one week.
I placed 13th in graphics at Brackeys Game Jam

If you like visual novel, with magical forests environments you can give it a try!

I am planning to keep developing this prototype but I would like to have some feedback first!

Here is the trailer of the game!

Well this is one of the best jam game! 

This is what I liked the most:

• Environment is so immersive for the player! Graphics is so well made even if it is so simple!
• Musics fit perfectly
• I liked how you managed to use SFX and lights!
• Gameplay is so fun and intuitive, I liked the tutorial a lot that is something that most of the games in the jam does not give much attention to, but in my opinion it is a foundamental part of the game!

But if I could I would like to make some critics. I didn't like that sometimes it is not very clear where you have to jump because of the fog or due to the low light intensity, I think you should make more clear what is in the background and what is in the foreground and what you can jump on! Actually everything is so brownish! But easily fixable! Well done in the end!

Special bonus for you is the glowing cristals you added! I love them, I based my entire game on glowing elements! If you'd like to check I 'll post  a pic of it ! https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/928013

What to say? I love the visuals! For real they are so immersive and the story and gameplay fits the theme perfectly! Also one of the only games pretty intuitive to play and fun! I really enjoyed it! Well done in the end! And also, you like glowing lights like me! I used them a lot in my game if you would like to check it I will post a picture in here! 

Well the theme fit perfectly! But I have to admit that I found the game a bit buggy, in the tutorial you say that you can move with WASD, but I can't move with it! Just with arrow keys I can move. And something I am not able to switch between animals, I get stuck! Anyway considering it is a game jam you did a really good job with the graphics and animations!

Thanks I played yours too!

Thank you! I wanted to make an immersive game! Really happy with these feedbacks!

I am glad you liked it man!!

Thanks! Graphics has been my main focus in here!

I will definitely change that mechanics since many of you don't like it! Thanks for the honest feedback and constructive as well!

I am glad you liked the graphics since it has been my main focus! I will try to fix the mechanics with a teleport system! 

Thanks for saying that! Ye I am sorry for the weird mechanics of moving every element one by one. But I will fix it soon!

Hey thanks for the review! Ye I need to make the game mechanics better but you guys have game some ideas with your reviews! Thanks for real!

Well glad to hear this feedback! I liek honest opinions. Anyway it is my first time making a game and partecipating to a game jam so I can take it!

thank you for playing it, I tested yours!

Hi this game should have been developed a bit more" The idea could be good but actually it is so buggy and friend ar enot making you stronger but weaker since they keep getting you stuck! Anyway appreciated the effort and music!

hello if you want you can play mine at https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/928013

I am going to have a look at yours for sure!

Hello I am so passionate on visual-novel games rich of story-telling, do you have some to play? 
If you guys want to hear my story I made a game to express my feelings :)  https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/928013

Well what to say, graphics is amazing. I love the style, lights effect and narrative is the magic touch! The only thing I noticed are colliders needs to be fixed! They are so bugged at the edge!

Really nice graphic and sound! I love the characters design, specially the chicken :) 

It was a bit too hard for me, you should maybe lower the difficulty.

Hey I am gonna play your game now since it is story driven! If you like story-telling games you should check mine too! :)

Man your game is one of the most fun I played in the jam! And I am a glow effect lover! I love how you made the spaceships glow, it's fantastic.
The only downside is that you need to balance the gameplay, once you take the satellites the game is too easy! But really such a fun game!
Mine and your game have something in common for the glow and bloom, if you like that effect you should give it a try :) https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/928013

Well done Ponty!

Hey this game has been so challenging for me ahhaah, I am so noob at it. I liked the idea and the story behind it! Did you check my game in the end? :)

I am glad you liked the things I focused on. Sure I have to improve the gameplay or it can get kinda boring! Thanks for the feedback!

Art style is amazing, did u use a shader to achieve that?

Hey this is one of the most fun games I played in the jam! For real, once you understand how it is work is not too hard or too easy! It such a good puzzle/platformer game. The thing you have to work on better is just implementing a better tutorial system in my opinion! Art and sounds are lovable!

Hey I am so glad you hear feedbacks like this. I am happy you enjoyed the game, and I like the fact that you made constructive critics!
Since some of you guys are saying that you'd like to watch a further development of this game I am seriously taking it into consideration!
Thanks from heart

I am going to play it!

I love the atmosphere you guys created! Particle are so beautiful.

The only thing I found hard to understand is the part when you pick up a star, is it animation or not? For several second after I pick a star I am not able to move. Anyway the idea is so original!

Thank you man! I will play in like 3 hours!

Sure I am going to play test your game as soon as I finish with my job!

I am glad you like, I am going to test your asap!

I love the glowing style, I am gonna test it for sure

Thank you man I'll play it soon!

Sure!

Sure I will try it!

Sure as soon as I finish to work I will play it!
