You made a slick looking level with some music that really fit. That's impressive for the weekend, even if the game itself is a little simplistic. A pickup noise for the specimens would go a long way! I hope this *does* reinvigorate your passion for game making because there's a lot of style and flavor here that shows you have a wellspring of creativity. Keep at it!
Very good entry. Graphics & mood are great. A good little exploration & plateform game.
OMG great mood!!! Very good entry. You have an interesting concept very well executed! You should keep working on thins game in the future! Big Congrats!

Cool small game but not really complete. More levels would add more fun to the game and would make it much more intersting than it is now. Also its more like a world design think rather then programming xD. But a solid first level for a funny game i guess. Good job
I'd say you did pretty well for a weekend. Nice stylish looking level, liked the video screen effect. Nice, well fitting music also. As it stands not too much for the fun factor, but you can't have everything. Hope to see future entries from you.
Hey! Awesome stuff. The aesthetics reminded me of fract (the soundtrack too!)
If you press spacebar again, you autojump when you land. Dunno if it's intentional, but it made me want to bunny-hop everywhere.
I found the swaying while you walk a bit excessive.
Thanks for the game, really enjoyed playing through it.
One of the coolest 3D environments I've seen in a Ludum Dare game. The music is absolutely incredible and creates an awesome atmosphere. I do wish there was more of an ending, but it works well nonetheless.
Looks gorgeous, but was very laggy on my computer.
The gameplay could have used a little something to make it more interesting as well.
Really good level here! I loved the art style and the platforming mechanics. Running and moving around feels really good. I'd recommend adding some kind of feedback like a sound or animation when you collect a specimen, though, since it seems to be silent when you pick one up now. Good job!

A very pretty game, with a very interesting atmosphere. Hope to see this made into a real game. But overall well done.

Great mood and tight controls - absolutely essential for the platforming sections, you nailed it.
I found stairs a bit buggy (colliders?) and was disappointed by the lack of a pickup sound.
Ending could have been a bit more satisfying or even final - a game over and restart would have been enough.
Otherwise a solid entry. Awesome work and welcome back! :D

I really like the aesthetics here. An item pickup noise would work wonders.

Nice! Should something happen after collecting 12 other than getting "goodbye" message?
Music is wonderful. Overall experience was, for me, weirdly immersive and enjoyable. The level design is good but I did encounter some technical problems: I got hung up on some stairs in unexpected ways, and I found I could move through the roof of the enclosed area up the white floating stairs to the right from the entrance. Great job overall!
Really impressed with the scope of the level you've made. Very smooth layout - never felt too lost at any point, which is important. The mood really sells it though - the music and visual style were a perfect match. Excellent job!

Great vibe! I love the music. Not much to do but I still enjoyed exploring it. Nice work!
Very stylish graphics and sound! I can see this game going somewhere. Did not find all the specimens but enjoyed the room architecture and listening to the music very much
