this really well done, i love the eerie soundtrack, the graphics really match together, awesome job!

Full marks. Visually stunning. Great audio. And precise platforming. One of the most impressive I've played.

I like the atmosphere and your artstyle is amazing. Controls could use work, and I accidentally fell out of world twice, without any way to reset my character.

I really do love the art though.

very nice pixel graphics. cool concept!

Love the eagle mechanic. good work on the artwork and nice ambient background music.

Why didn't you want to be judged in the Audio category? The music was great! :)

Nice art style, good challenge.

Nice mood, I really like the eagle weapon and the teleportation to the position of your eagle. As Higler says, you should definitely let your game get judged in the audo category, I like the background music, fits great to the setting.

I blew giant frogs eyes before falling into the endless!
Nice mood, somehow made me thinks of shadow of the beast, hehe.

Damn, that was pretty ethereal. The art style is not exactly to my taste, but I have to commend how consistent it is. The running animation for the main character feels a bit off though.

I really liked the eagle weapon(?), and that giant frog was hilarious. Good stuff.

Hey really awesome submission! Love the art. the background and environment is beautiful, especially with the atmospheric music! I also enjoyed navigating the world with the hawk ability. Some stuff I didn't like: to me the character felt too slow. I would have liked to have seen my characters health. It would have been nice to hear auditory ques when I take damage. After the 3rd save stone, I felt a little bored as the wanderlust waned, as there was little variation in the environment and nothing new mechanically was introduced.

Yup, we definitely had plans to add alot more mechanics, events, and monster encounters...we just ran out of time :/

Thanks for the feedback!

Good game, cool idea :)

I liked the use of teleport mechanic. BTW I would put Jump action in Up arrow key since you use arrows to move.

Lovely background sound too ^^

colindoody 2015-04-22 17:56

Awesome style and mood. Really enjoyed the teleportation mechanic, nicely done!

Interesting game, good work. I especially like the eagle mechanic.

Art is excellent but would suggest you look at the pixel densities next time, the frog character looks blown up while the main character appears shrunken down(causing fuzziness). While these are not really problems I just thought the marred the otherwise beautiful graphics.

very well done and awesome game.

sawyerweld 2015-04-22 17:58

I like this! btw the wall on the left that stops you from going that way can be bypassed with spirit eagle. i thought this was a puzzle and i ended up falling endlessly :3

archonthewizard 2015-04-22 18:00

The art was fantastic, and the music was quite fitting. I like the idea of the spirit animals. After falling to the bottom of the level I was unable to jump, and eventually found the end of the world and fell for eternity =P

archive-studios 2015-04-22 18:20

People who abuse the noble eagle spirit deserve to fall for eternity :P

Love the art to this game, the character feels good to control and the sounds is great!

Nice look to the game, neat setting and idea.

ermrk 2015-04-22 22:25

I was able to fall down from level, it was near checkpoint in dungeon where path to right ends. I did not see some platforms, because I thought that they were in background. But teleport is brilliant feature, i love it!

The eagle teleportion thingy has potential. Nice artwork! I like the animalish theme
