Lovely gfx and mood.

Cool game, like the foreground art.

Nice game. I love it when you die you just fall all the way to the bottom of the map.

One soul don't want to go through portal :)

I like the whole atmosphere of the game, which reminds me of Oddworld. Sometimes it feels like the character is too fast and it leads to some clunky controls and some trial and error. But nothing bad at all!

As far as I got through the game I did not see checkpoints. I would consider adding some (or maybe I'm just bad at playing :P)

Good job!

cool game, saved 3 souls.. still doomed

kapasrobert 2014-08-25 17:18

I'm actually impressed :) Very simple gameplay and graphics yet still fun, good job!

5 souls saved, heaven here I come. I liked the game world and the mood a lot. Also, it was good that the level had me interact in several different ways, and also involved some good platform jumping. Nice entry!

very challenging platformer. Cool the souls are follwing you... good mechanics... like the artwork and the game mechnic... need more levels!

Short and sweet, I like the bleak and dark look. Wish there had been more to play.

I liked that you were on-key enough to put a portal=checkpoint system, as I would have probably left the game sooner otherwise :)

Liked the graphics and atmosphere, I think sound would have made it way better.

Nice game overall.

This was an interesting take on the theme. I liked the atmosphere and mechanics a lot.

Clearly inspired by one of my all-time favorite games, Abe's Oddysee. :)

Saved 8 souls. Wasn't clear that's the end of the game, just sort of stopped there. Would be nice if it said "8 out of N", too, so I can know if I missed any.

The art did a good job of setting the mood. The tiles didn't mesh together very well but other then that I liked the art.

Hey. Nice looking game, parallax, occasional foreground trees etc. Soul portal mechanic interesting. Didn't get far after dropping off first soul, sorry about that - I'm bad at playing platformers ;) Good job!

nanolotl 2014-08-28 13:25

Simple, but fairly well made. Good job.

Nice art, mood, and gameplay. Would have been nice if level was bigger but you only had 5 hours which you definitely made the best of!

frogcheese 2014-09-07 15:14

Short game, but the graphics are wonderful and the mood is pretty heavy. Would've liked some sound to go with it. All in all really impressed you managed this in only 5 hours!

tosic 2014-09-10 14:21

Nice idea, I really like the mood of the game!

kidando 2014-09-15 11:30

I see someone is a fan of Abe's Odyssey huh? Too bad it didn't have sound. congrats on completing the game.

ajopart 2014-09-15 12:09

I like the graphics ! Well done. Oddworld Style, indeed !

moosefly 2014-09-15 19:56

Tried twice and still could save only four souls :P. Music would've pushed this from good to great.

I liked the graphics, nice job! Needs music!

aglavra 2014-09-15 20:04

I liked the graphics and the mood, although controls were a bit unresponsive, and this made the game too difficult for me
