The art is just wonderful. Love it. The gameplay was a little boring though and the level design seems uninspired? I like the theme/art a lot though, good stuff!

The environment is fantastic. The control of the character is smooth too as a platformer. However, the character's animation is a bit too rigid, including the transitions between idle, movement, and attack. Also the hit effect can be more dramatic :) Good job anyway!
I have to agree with everything nikki93 said. The art was GREAT, but the game design was dull. The fact that the portals forced you to replay the same part over and over again was bad design, and forcing the player to start the game over if they miss one jump is just brutal and boring.
Man, that is one pretty game. The farther I got in the game, the longer I had to fall before being game dead. lol. It was fun.

Love it that you like the environment, thank you! Well it actually should return you at the main portal that you discover in the middle, but it was a bit buggy... Thank you for pointing it out. :)
The enviroment is great, very atmospheric!
Good mood! I liked the colors and shapes with the smooth audio. Animations were a bit weak compared to the rest though.
I wasn't able to go through the main portal. It just said "Press E to enter" and that's all.
Graphics and atmosphere are great! But gameplay itself could be more interesting.
@CoolIron
Ye, the end screen was not working. Got it now, thanks.
Art and mood are pretty neat, but I don't feel the theme. Going through those portals just feels like beeing teleported to another place in the same world to me.
Very nice atmosphere, very eerie. The animations could need some polishing. Overall good job though!
I really like your game! One can really see that you put a lot effort into it!
The main character looks a bit out of place but that is kinda the purpose I guess?
If you keep working on it add some sounds that would help a great deal to make it even more fun! Keep making games!
You know what they say...the bigger the sword the better the game!
It just astonishing! Hard to believe that so awesome game was created for that short time.
Last quick update guys as some paths for the images in the game were wrong.
pros: really like the graphics and choice of music
cons: controls feels quite jerky. Annoying the attack automatically happens to the right
@parahunter
Ooops comment fail...
@parahunter - the attack happens to the side that you have pointed the mouse at...
I loved the Graphics, very talented. ^^
Well, that was quick. Good immersion, but not so much of gameplay.
Awesome graphisms!
The fact that the char bugs a bit when we finish the jump breaks a bit the immersion :/
Good job anyway ;)
Love the artwork :3
Absolutely agree with nikki93. Also might need some sound effects?
Pretty nice. The gameplay seems a bit bland, though.
Nice art, but the gameplay is poor.
Art is beautiful and the sound is atmospheric. Animation is solid, but limited - our heroine's sword swing is a little circular. =) Jumping is predictable, which is great - was able to move with confidence. Thought the enemies were nicely enigmatic, but they (and your attacks) could REALLY have done with some sound effects. Points for a female lead in the game! Great work for three days!
Great art and nice background music. Game is a bit boring, running around and nothing happens (except being attacked).
Grat art! I really like girls with big swords!
Nice work on the title screen. The aesthetic here is great. I was surprised to see the hanging crystals effected by the player character -- neat! The music is just above the barrier for acceptance for me. I usually raise a fuss about repetition, but this piece is only missing some variety.
The platforming works fairly well, though I fell into the void by jumping too far a handful of times. I think there needs to be more variety in the platforms to settle the mood; maybe just taller base platforms. The goal wasn't very inspired, and enemies were practically worthless. My summary judgement would be: great mood, not enough feedback, and unchallenging gameplay.
Nitpicks:
- The text is much too small (especially on a 1920x1080 display).
- Feedback is nonexistent. The only audio I'm hearing is the music -- the environment is aurally empty. Effects for player character jump/attack/step would add a lot, not to mention damage-taken effects for the enemies.
- Some platforms below the player character were not visible due to the screen shifting with the player as the player jumped.
It feels a bit choppy, but I imagine if you had more time, it would look fantastic. Definitely nice job on the art, despite the strange attack animation!
Love the art, mood and music :)
Feels like the nice beginning of a great game, given more time!
I'm impressed about what you got done during the jam.
I just see a red screen. I have the latest versions of Java and Radeon HD graphics drivers (Windows 7 64bit). Unrated.
I can forgive everything to this game just because of this stunning graphics! Really beautiful. Very deep mood in this one.
Powerful graphics!
I like graphics, music and game concept. I can imagine better animations but I know that it is not easy (during only 72 hours for everything). It is just constructive criticism. :) Good job!
The art was really good but the animation wasn't. The atmosphere felt great, though, and I thought the music fit really well. As for gameplay, I wish the three worlds with the pieces weren't exactly the same, and I needed to look at this page to figure out how to use the sword.
Overall I enjoyed the game though, especially the atmosphere.
The graphics and the mood are very cool. This is disturbing that the character is looking at the player and some animations are strange.
