Pictures are pretty but can't play on Windows :\

Holy crap, that is some of the best visuals I've seen in a Jam. Awesome job!

That's probably the cutest game I've ever seen in LD! Controls and fight mechanics could use some more love, but so far I'm absolutely fine with just jogging around that beautiful forest! Great work!

Nice looking game. Seemed like a cute puppy version of Dark Souls. The animations were pretty rough though which affected the feel of the combat the most. More visual and audio feedback would make fighting feel a lot better. Also, the inverted mouse controls really threw me off. Would have liked an option to switch that.

6th game I've reviewed today and definitely my favourite so far! The music is really pretty and the graphics are beautiful!! The killing of the rabbits felt brutal
and almost out of place with the soft music and graphics though, which is the only reason I didn't give graphics and music the maximum score. I've found it quite
difficult to complete it but I will keep persevering and hopefully I will be able to complete it soon. Overall a great game and fits the theme well!

The hero is adorable, especially the dodge roll anim.

Mouse vertical look feels inverted to me.

These visuals are outstanding! The rabbits kicked my ass repeatedly. I eventually didn't try to fight them anymore, and just tried to run as far as I could. Doge dodge made me happy.

I really liked the pictures, but playing it was a bit disappointing. The camera control is such a mess, makes the game totally unplayable. I encourage you to improve the camera movement post-compo, since as it is I doubt anyone could enjoy the game.
Anyway, I see a lot of work here, good work for the jam!

Interesting concept with great visuals!

Very cute and I love the atmosphere. It was more frustrating then fun because of the inverted controls. Most of the time was spent underneath it's belly and while it's pretty cute, I was a sitting duck for those damn rabbits.

sentendo 2015-04-24 08:21

fantastic! O_O

Visually AWESOME. But the inverted camera movement is a bit annoying to me. Music is really good as well, also are the animations. You should continue this cute game.
Graphics 5/5

Keep it up!

nicely

Oh, it's awesome!!

Amazing visuals, but the combat was literally impossible for me. The enemies could practically one hit me and the attack animation left me vulnerable.

This game is tough.... I got killed by a rabbit over a shoe? On my next attempt I got bombarded by a gang of rabbits and was eventually cornered and executed, I lost my life and the shoe.

Very pretty, the as others have noted, the camera is problematic. Couldn't really figure out the combat (or the locked door).

techblogogy 2015-04-29 13:39

This game has some pretty great visuals, but it was quite hard to play. Also camera felt a bit wonky. Other than that, this was a great Jam entry. Good job! :D

monos 2015-04-29 15:03

I'll not rate 5 for the graphics because you used the UE4.
The low poly style with the "soft rendering" is adorable, idem for the music that i really liked.

Sadly the gameplay ruin the experience, i'd have prefered to play an exploration game without fighting that seemed a lot out of place and i suggest you to remove it.

Also shadows, put some shadows into the game

dyfer 2015-04-29 15:57

awesome gfx ! i loved the roll lol nice work

colindoody 2015-04-29 17:03

The best visual I have encountered in LD! So sad I can't play :(

jasonsumm 2015-04-29 18:59

awesome style ^_^

bobismijnnaam 2015-04-29 19:14

Okay I had a pretty lengthy response but the LD site at it, so here's a quick summary:
+ Extremely pretty graphics
+ Extremely nice soundtrack
- Items are hard to find
- Rabbits are OP

Call me a lazy scrub, but that was my experience. Don't forget to playtest the gameplay :)

tselmek 2015-04-29 20:43

Awesome graphics, so awesome that it cause the game to have a really low framerate. My pc being a not-so-powerful machine, it was impossible for me to properly enjoy the game, yet it was playable and you did a good job and the audio and the graphics!

skiddings 2015-04-29 21:04

Looks great! But the dog is so fragile T_T

peecestudios 2015-04-29 23:29

Beautiful game, but I can't seem to get past the first rabbit. Unreal Engine is always an amazing choice though. I've never seen a bad looking game from Unreal Engine.

frozencow 2015-04-30 20:54

Really nice looking game. The inverted mouse, camera and fighting felt a bit awkward, but it was still fun to avoid all enemies while still being able to progress.

hadesfury 2015-04-30 22:56

Aaahh, inverted Y axis!
Apart from that it's all very pretty, but as the other said already, these rabbits kicked my ass waaaay too fast!

biliogadafr 2015-04-30 23:52

Wow... That was difficult puzzle game, I would say. Really difficult. Fighting was not an option in this game. Even if I'm able to kill several rabbits with the shoe it is allowed to do only several mistakes... and you are dead. So I just run away. Also there is no sense to grab key to open the door if I can just avoid this wall by climbing mountains. Also this allows me to eskape from an horde of rabbits. Going into the canyon with glitching collisions is also not an option. It's better to avoid this spiky things again in the mountains. Rabbits on top of the platform just kills me near the skeleton first time, so ending was twice as dramatic and ending animation was interrupted. To avoid this I just jumped to the beginning of the level from the top while leading an hord of rabbits after me, and then used roll to escape. (when you are rolling you are faster :). So I made a second ring and after this I was able to see ending.:)
Nice graphics. Nice music. Looks cute. But not beatable in normal way. Also awful camera with inverted y axis which become FPS camera when rabbit pursuing you and pushing camera into a puppy. Good job overall. Looks great.

It looks really good but it was a pain to control, starting with the inverted camera on the mouse.

mandolin 2015-05-01 21:08

This game is literally horrifying! Excellent job!

squirrelbot 2015-05-10 17:55

The low-poly art style looks amazing! Combat is kind of strange, and enemies attack to fast. I was horrified when I first saw the death animation. :(

The inverted camera was bad and the rabbits seemed to be too strong but other than that very cute graphics and neat game idea, good job!
