Interesting concept, and the art and mood is very nice!

@drauthius Thank you, I appricate the feedback.

The character control is a bit weird, some clumsiness fits the dreamy mood, but the acceleration in the middle of jump phase, while already being in the air.. I cannot see reason for it. Still the whole rest is impressive, mood indeed really well built, art and music shining.

@onnofal Yeah I agree, I guess I ended up being blind on the game mechanics, I did work a lot on the jump but I totally agree, it's not there yet. The jump is made with a float that is set by a curve over time, to mimic a jump curve like you would have in animation, but I guess it failed :)

Thank you for the kind words. I love penguins, so I will give your game a go later ;)

Nice graphics and sounds, I liked it. Just interesting, what is a second door with grass and etc? Would be great to have a possibility to change my mind without the full replay.

Graphics are stunning, really beautiful mood. Movement felt a little loose to me, but overall a great entry :)

Wow, really liked the mood with the music and the little audio effects. Loved the little wobble in the character's hair, really cute! Well made!

The game is nice and has potential! Good job! :)

I experienced a couple of problems during my first playthrough: I found myself stuck in the jumping pose part-way through, and then much much later fell through an invisible hole in the ground into an infinite void. However, problems aside, I did enjoy the mood that you managed to create in this game!

That's a weird experience. Nice visuals, the sounds stick well on the ambience you put.

I had one bug, i manadged to fall under the ground at one point with a collision with a wall.

I like the minimalist intro, and the reactive UI that shows the controls. The initial 3D effects of a painterly style look neat.

I do feel like the walking animation is a bit weird. The jump velocity is odd too; the character eases into the jump, then snaps upwards. I was also able to jump over some walls that I don't think I should have.

It was a short and interesting playthough regardless. Good work!

P.S. This is your 20th rating, so now you can get a score!
