Cool concept and cute graphics.
It feels kind of like playing two games at the same time, where you have this astral, calm world and the more action filled grounded world. I like the concept although I fail to see a relation to the theme.
I also feel that I grasped the concept after quite some time, and would have hoped for a few more levels as a reward! :)
How do I get to the astral?
Neat concept! Love the toque! I had a hard time hitting enemies with the sword though.
A winner is me!
I absolutely adore your art style and the perpective, especially since it's even relevant to the gameplay. The potato monsters are a little annoying in that they almost always seem to get two hits in before you can kill them, but it becomes manageable after a few tries.
I guess like always it's important to read the instructions that come with the game but it took me a while to figure out how to kill the box moster thingies. A real cool idea for that, though! Now we want MOAR CONTENT!
Shigor: You don't actually _go_ to the astral world, Diamonde is talking about the box monsters coming down from the sky.
Pretty good game, nice graphics, and the music's pretty good too :)
really like the "log rolling" world... made for a really neat effect. nice little set of mechanics in there as well. nice job!
Nice graphics and character, loved the concept but it was difficult to hit enemies with the sword at times :(. Good luck :D.
Are most enemies invincible? Or I just can't aim.
@mortus:
The astral enemies that appear from the sky can't be killed directly with the sword, you must kill them in a different way.
Kinda neat & good art style but I seemed to run so far that stuff stopped spawning. Also the lack of depth perception fighting a bit of a pain. Maybe with an auto-locking ranged weapon that would be more fun.
Inteeresting gameplay, like the sounds very much!
Love the art style.
I love the idea of exploring the connection between the 2d and the 3d. Ideas like this fascinate me, metaphorical connections, and I actually wanted to work it in but there wasn't enough a time. Music was pretty nice too& rotating world.
Love the graphic and the concept is very cool ! :D
Kinda confusing but interesting concept. Although it doesn't really have much depth as it is. Artstyle kinda reminded me of the good old PSOne games.
Nice entry
I love this! That faux-3D rolling-cylinder world concept is great, I might steal that idea. :) Really nice graphic style, and the map-in-the-sky astral plane idea is great.
Really awesome, I love the titular mechanic. It takes the whole Animal Crossing-style scrolling to a level beyond just aesthetic. My favorite I've played so far. Nice job!
I like the idea and visual style of this game, good job.
Awesome concept!
I like the vertical scrolling, pretty cool!
good job :p.
I really liked this game a lot, though combat is a bit awkward from the angle the camera is at (at least awkward before you get used to it). However, there were quite a few glitches, for instance, I apparantly went to far, and was able to control the teleporting cubes with the camera (unless that was supposed to happen), and holding down the sword button allows you to keep attacking, even though the animation stops. All in all, it was a very interesting and cool game, and I would love to see it continued in another form.
Neat idea. Took me some time to understand what was going on, but still cool.
Pretty neat trick how you got it to look like you're running around an endless cylinder.
Nice work! I couldn't hit anything, maybe I'm doing something wrong. There's an easy way to capture the mouse in Unity in the browser window and disable the right click button. Nice Work! Interesting perspective.
Liked the basic mechanic of the world on a cylinder. I got a little dizzy after a while :)
Stars made of bytes fall from sky in an infinite loop while the potato demons try to steal my astral body and the dark squares want to kill me too XD
This is an ironic epopee to find the essential key of life using astral travels, like our dreams? cool!.
I ran out of things in this world, no keys, no doors, no potatoes, no nothing, an empty , void world, just running around XD
I like the idea of walking in a continuously generated world, with dangers lying in wait for us, the key (essential) things of life are hard to know and understand.
I'm glad to see that you liked the concept! Thanks for the great feedback! Thanks for the bug reports as well, I will add them to the list! :)
Nice concept, very mice graphics but i could not find the last key somehow. Nice Work :).
It was a little weird to play, and I didn't know half of what I was doing.
Very nice game !
Good job. The game overall is very good.
Perspective is cool, but very confusing to the point that its offputting. Needs a shadow or something to help you understand positioning more intuitively!
It bugged out on me a little and I fell through the world. Other than that, it was pretty cool to play!
Very interesting game, I love the rolling-pin landscape idea. The stars show you the way
Love the idea of two different worlds interacting, but I had no idea what was happening in the game itself! Luckily instructions cleared that up quickly. I was little disappointed there wasn't epic end battle in the astral plane when door opened. Going past the end of game and just leaning towards rolling eternity was kinda beautiful though.
Ohwow! Not bad, bot bad.
Movement mechanic looking fresh and awesome!
Great game! Love the art style!
Woah really cool perspective, it works well! Nice game too!
Beautiful game!, graphics are very good and sounds too. The mechanics are simple and fun, great job!
Cute game, the gameplay idea is really nice but not so easy to understand at first.
Cool, I love the way the trees pop up out of the horizon. Moving the crates is a bit awkward using alt in the webplayer build. Perhaps disabling context menu for web would have been a good idea so that right clicking would have been viable, or even just auto pushing crates when you're near them.
Anyway, that's just a minor gripe, pretty fun and very interesting looking game overall.
