short and sweet! Soundtrack is awesome!
With more content and variety of puzzles, it has a potential of becoming a decent game. Good work!

The art style reminds me of Monument Valley, and I love it! The clean art and the background music creates a peaceful feeling. The transitions of the platforms and worlds are really smooth and impressive. Fun gameplay too! I also found a bug in level 2 that the character just fall out of the platform...

jgthespy 2014-08-26 06:06

Wow this game is awesome. I'd love to see more.

cooliron 2014-08-26 06:08

Beautiful!

Great entry! Cool artwork and nice gameplay, but when I fall from platform i meet the infinity.

raphy 2014-08-26 10:11

Peaceful experience, reminds me of Monument Valley as well. Very good overall, more levels would be great!

gametery 2014-08-26 12:44

Loved it! Very nice design and very smooth, Keep up good work!

2014-08-26 12:53

There is an endless fall bug :/ But this is a very nice game !

enteagd 2014-08-26 14:49

Brilliant, crying out for expansion!

dustyroom 2014-08-26 17:02

One of the best entries. The art is fantastic. And that harp...

jupitron 2014-08-26 18:30

Incredible setting and really cool mechanics. Excellent visual style!

beard 2014-08-26 19:43

Impressive! I enjoyed the puzzles.

ragepaint 2014-08-27 02:29

Very clean. Extremely fun. This is definitely my favorite game out of the ones I have played so far. Nice job.

dimir 2014-08-27 09:12

Game is very beautiful!

hyoga-3d 2014-08-27 13:55

Very nice game, puzzles are awesome, graphics are awesome, char are awesome, congrats!

bradsmallplanet 2014-08-28 00:48

The music suits the game really well, definitely high marks for the 'audio' and 'mood' categories. It reminds me of Monument Valley because of the high visual polish.

allusion 2014-08-28 01:54

Just when I got hooked, there were no more levels! This is a great game. If you make the interface tablet friendly, you could sell this game on a tablet easily.

smizmeal 2014-08-28 02:06

This is excellent. Beautiful art style and fun game mechanics. I'd like to see more :)

mase 2014-08-28 03:49

It has a very cohesive style.

I get a black screen after I complete the second level... not sure if this is a bug or the end.

simplexcity 2014-08-28 04:14

Awesome. Reminded me lots of Monument Valley too which was nice cos i was craving more of that game.
u did a really good job, the game feels smooth and the music was purdy

zdonkeyx 2014-08-28 05:22

Thanks for all the nice feedback! Sorry about the bugs, and for it being so short.. if only a couple more hours!! lol

lolshouse 2014-08-28 05:23

Sweet, little puzzle game. Lots of potential for a full version.

braqoon 2014-08-28 09:23

nice little game, but it's very easy to fall off the platforms.

spolsh 2014-08-28 10:09

Simple and enjoyable :)

liquidminduk 2014-08-28 11:57

very polished effort, everything came together really well for a nice balanced experience.

mrexcessive 2014-08-28 12:36

Hi there. Lovely looking world, like the lighting, fog, switch states, rotation movement... all good!

stasss 2014-08-28 16:26

Gorgeous rendition. Graphics - without a rival. Atmosphere - super solid (very professional) , I like music a lot! Little polish, scaling. You must continue working on it!!

jojoyx 2014-08-28 16:41

Great entry ! You should keep working on that the concept is great

bushmango3 2014-08-28 17:12

Beautiful! So smooth.

krisdevelopment 2014-08-28 18:36

Exelent game. Congrats!

artamus 2014-08-28 20:06

Nice game, congrats!

royvanrijn 2014-08-28 20:55

How nice and peaceful... so zen with the music :) 5 stars for the mood!

fanatrick 2014-08-28 21:15

Loved the mechanics! Puzzles were a bit based on trial and error, but it didn't hurt the gameplay. Really fun jam game :)

donaldducky 2014-08-28 22:32

Very good game. I really liked the music!

2014-08-28 22:51

Wow nice, had fun playing it and the quality seems to be very high. Great job. I would probably buy it for about 1-2 euro

hoyt-hoy 2014-08-29 01:00

It's really good! Nice graphics, puzzles, everything is nice.
But I fell off the edge, and it was weird...

nuclearnapalm 2014-08-29 07:30

Wow! I thought it will be Monument Valley, but this one appeared really different! Good job!

saintheiser 2014-08-30 03:52

Well made game!
The game mechanics blowing my mind!

simplesmiler 2014-08-30 08:33

Lovely!

drewvancamp 2014-08-30 14:55

Oh my goodness! Beautiful music and visuals!

So I feel like either the second level is too difficult or too buggy (definitely fell off at one point). But this is a wonderful, elegant little game. I'm curious how far it goes!

Colors, shapes, animations, symbols. All of it is nicely executed. And it wasn't lost on me that you have a system for showing what's on the underside of each -- clever design!

Feel like after the first level, you need a couple more simple levels to teach the player before we get to the second level. Or maybe it was just a bug I was experiencing.

This is really great! Please continue it! More beautiful music, more smooth animations, more symbols and puzzle types. You've done a great job!

managore 2014-09-01 00:48

This game really looks incredible. The flipping mechanic is also very interesting.

yodamaster 2014-09-02 11:14

Nice and sweet. Some little bugs, like the platform moves away while I'm on it, so it results in standing in the air. Add more levels and a tutorial and publish for iOS.

scipio-xaos 2014-09-06 01:58

Very nicely done. I would love to see more of this with a lot more puzzles. When I solved the first one my first thought was "Oh, that's clever..." Great work!

brokenbeach 2014-09-06 11:35

The game's gorgeous and fun. There was a nice atmosphere to it. Well done.

However, there is a bug where you can fall off the map, on the first level. Once you take the stairs down to the island on the far right, you can walk straight off it.

papygaragos 2014-09-06 11:36

Great concept and execution. The game could use a smoother difficulty curve though. I wasn't really sure what to do and I solved the first level by accident (and it took me a while to truly solve it when I restarted)

Good job

seconddimension 2014-09-06 13:31

A lovely game with great atmosphere and music. I fell off the edge though and fell forever.

midnightcreators 2014-09-06 18:27

Awesome entry, great game at all. I suggest some audible feedback when you move platforms. This game is very promising! Congratulations! (I didnt find any bug :P yey).

chuigum 2014-09-06 23:07

Awesome innovation, graphics, and music! Fantastic job overall!

jupiter_hadley 2014-09-07 20:38

Super well done. Awesome game! I included it in part 20 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/3H1YVzN-nuA

airdeck 2014-09-09 04:41

This is beautiful, reminds me of Monument Valley.

apiotrw 2014-09-13 14:08

Great game :)

vividhelix 2014-09-13 15:44

gorgeous art style, i was curious technically how you made that in unity - I'd love a postmortem describing that.

zdonkeyx 2014-09-13 21:32

@vividhelix It's all about perspective! If you use an isometric camera, depth no longer exists. It's basically a 2d view of 3d objects, which allows you to play tricks on the player's perception of the game.
