Wow, that art design is incredible. I can't believe that you guys pulled this together in 72 hours. I found the gameplay to be a bit less responsive than I'd like, but that's just about the only negative thing I could think of. Really strong work, guys!

midnightcreators 2013-12-17 10:32

Thanks for your review, (n-n) wanted us to have done even more. 8P

The most invested game I've seem so far in the jam!
Great game!

I found it quite annoying to read something, whenever a level starts, I think that it should be written through the game.

midnightcreators 2013-12-17 11:48

Thanks for your review. Really, read that text from the beginning you could take a little time (n-n), but do not forget "CLICK to SKIP" and get Souls.

Epic! Great atmosphere & style. Special thx to the music

pol 2013-12-17 15:23

The visuals are impressive (particularly the colours) *but* ripping off Below's screenshot for your home screen is not exactly subtle .3.

therrato 2013-12-17 15:42

The looks are really nice, bugs wise i did manage to clip into some of the walls, by accident. but overall nicely done

midnightcreators 2013-12-17 15:55

Methamphetabear & Pol - Thanks for the comments (^.^)

saintheiser 2013-12-17 15:56

Good graphic and atmosphere. But game itself too boring. Storyline telling by moving picture is great idea. Its interesting.

midnightcreators 2013-12-17 15:58

Maybe one bug? I will verify (n-n) Therrato thanks for playing!

midnightcreators 2013-12-17 16:09

Saint Heiser - Thanks for playing. Just credits of moving images for Bianca (artist) (^, ^).

zconnelly13 2013-12-17 16:36

I loved the graphics and the atmosphere and the gameplay was solid :) nice work!!!

m0n0quartz 2013-12-17 16:40

Wow, great game, sought and neat graphics !
I'm on MAC OSX 10.9 and I had to perform this little manipulation to make it work:
Right click on the Akh. app and press "Show package contents" then go to Contents>MacOs
After that you need to open Terminal and type "chmod a+x " then drag'n drop the "Akh" file and press enter.
Now you are ready to play ! ( Sorry for my bad english, I'm French :) )

midnightcreators 2013-12-17 16:53

No problem Monoquartz, we are Brazilians, (n.n) And thanks for playing and this "tutorial"!

midnightcreators 2013-12-17 16:55

zconnelly13 - Thanks for the comments and play(^.^)

dbralir 2013-12-17 17:03

The gameplay was a bit too bland, but the aesthetic is great. I love the scrolling story images! The gameplay could be improved with tighter movement and more challenging platforming.

midnightcreators 2013-12-17 17:22

Thanks all for your feedbacks, DBRalir, and platforms that you said are already in production (n.n)

midnightcreators 2013-12-17 17:27

Thanks for the solid feedback DBRalir, and thanks for playing too :)

dznemotion 2013-12-17 18:01

Incredible! The best at a time.

midnightcreators 2013-12-17 18:12

wow, thanks dznemotion! >.<

midnightcreators 2013-12-17 18:24

Because of the really similar menu art with the game Below (3 guys thought the same thing), we changed some details ;'( we are so sorry for it.

danielsnd 2013-12-17 22:32

My first impressions on the game :)

@DanielSnd Thanks for the video! We are so sorry about our cut texts on tutorial, it just happend on Web version of the game :/

lipedal 2013-12-18 00:50

beautiful game! and the sound was amazing too!
I just found quite annoying that much text when the level starts. And also, it was kinda less responsive than i would like a game like this to be.
But hey! for 72 hours! Good job!

frederickk 2013-12-18 01:48

Amazing graphics and the music fitted perfectly!
Good job guys!

moomoo112 2013-12-18 03:17

The music for this game fits very well, but the lack of friction made some of the jumps aggravating

_zulli 2013-12-18 03:32

The art is incridible! Really is one of the most beautiful ones in this entire compo. Amazing! :)

If you have time , please rate my game too! I would really appreciate it :D

burtlo 2013-12-18 04:57

I was enjoying the gameplay video and thought to myself the music was so good and also familiar. I remembered its the music they play when you die in World of Warcraft.

midnightcreators 2013-12-18 12:15

Yeah @burtlo , we used that music haha Awesome game and OST :)

chaoseiro 2013-12-18 18:56

Great graphics! I really liked the story strip. The only problem with the gameplay, imho, is that the character slides too much... I often got blue souls while trying to get only the red ones because of the sliding...

lipedal 2013-12-19 02:04

Lipedal here (the other Lipedal back there was my co-worker Cauã). Holy mother, you make BEAUTIFUL art! Loved the custscene and the general mood of the game :O Great soundtrack choice too. I only got a bit confused when red and blue started to negate each other. Other than that, you have a VERY solid entry there! It's really impressive that it was made in 72 hours. Congratulations, Midnight Creators! :D

stigmawall 2013-12-19 03:14

Did i curse you to make a game so beautiful? hahahah!
The graphics are very good, and the music... ahh the music.
Good job, guys!

brmassa 2013-12-19 04:26

Matheus e Bianca, MEUS PARABENS! meu deus, que maravilha de obra. clima muito maneiro, graficos nota 10. As cutscenes sao impressiontes. Bianca tu eh muito talentosa.

virei fa (@Gamenific seguindo voces no Twitter)

midnightcreators 2013-12-19 19:09

Muito obrigado @brmassa, adimito que a movimentação esta um pouco complicada, mas fazer o que temos que por algum desafio. (de acordo com fontes vamos mudar isto em uma próxima atualização)

midnightcreators 2013-12-19 19:12

stigmawall - Thanks for playing and for your review

tobbez 2013-12-21 23:09

Fancy graphics, and the music made for a nice mood. The gameplay could probably have been made more interesting though.

tobbez 2013-12-21 23:16

Saw that you used music you didn't make yourselves, and likely didn't acquire the rights to use.

Since you're in the jam, you're allowed to use content you haven't produced yourself, but you still need the rights owner's permission to do so.

mcapraro 2013-12-24 05:02

really amazing visuals, great job!

teamflare 2013-12-24 17:36

best storytelling since now :) for me the gameplay is ok.. but the atmosphere and the graphics are awesome!

jupiter_hadley 2013-12-25 16:39

I liked this game loads. I liked the graphics, sounds, and general mood. I included it in my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/Sii3dnpSvEI

midnightcreators 2013-12-26 18:12
