the itch.io page for HTML5 is going to a error not found page for me

liauj 2019-04-30 04:08

Yupp, somethings up with all of the links to itch.io.

vulpineblazeyt 2019-04-30 04:11

HTML5 error not found too. Will gladly re-review.

squirmonkey 2019-04-30 04:30

It looks like your itch.io page may still be private. Have you published the game?

allan-urique 2019-04-30 04:30

HTML5 and Windows links broken, will mos certainly re-review

Wow. What an incredible ride. You've crafted a beautifully simple game that tells a profound story, I really enjoyed playing this. The ambiance you created with the music and low gravity as well as the fun quirky characters really made this game come alive. Playing this brought back similar feelings as when I first played Celeste. Overall, a job well done, I'm certainly going to pass this on to my friends!

jedineeson 2019-04-30 05:40

@thesomeonexd Thanks for the notice, it's a pretty little game GG! If you have time, go get a check on our game.

thesomeonexd 2019-04-30 05:46

@adam-elaoud I loved Celeste! I watched a really talented speedrunner, and then I decided to bite the bullet and buy the game. I have no regrets.

@jedineeson Will do! Will play tomorrow, it's a little past midnight, whoops. Also, hello fellow Canadian! :smile:

Nice mood ! A little bit too much text for me. But I can finish the game !

First came when the link wasn't working, but came back and glad I did. Really great environment, enjoyed the Ludum Dare jokes maybe a little too much.

dennis-jeong 2019-04-30 05:52

it worked for me! Jumping physics could use some work, and I would really appreciate a way to either make dialogue appear instantly or be able to press z to make it appear instantly, i read pretty fast. interesting dialogue!

I liked the game, the font (or at least the contrast on the text) made reading it slightly hard on the eyes but overall that part was negligible. I like the atmosphere, it's definitely short but you got your message across fine IMO. The animation is great

hermbit 2019-04-30 06:15

Beautiful game. I loved the character sprites, the background, the moody atmosphere and the unfolding inner story. Gave me feels.

plexsoup 2019-04-30 06:52

HTML works for me. Great little exploration platformer. A bit heavy on the exposition for me... I was about to quit, but then busy spirit caught my attention! Forge on, busy spirit! Well done.

THE FEELS ARE REALS

liauj 2019-04-30 13:48

@thesomeonexd Thanks for getting the links fixed!

I'm usually one for crisp, non-floaty platforming, but the tone and background of the game really lends itself to that movement and I enjoyed it in this game. I liked the dialog as well, though the character names don't need to scroll, just the character's speech (to give the impression that they're speaking in real time).

I appreciate moody games like this, especially after playing (and working on) so many action titles!

thesomeonexd 2019-04-30 15:06

Holy crap, 21(.1429) reviews as of writing, woah! I'm super happy I got here this quick, and it's all thanks to everyone here! :smile:

You guys have no idea how happy I am to get this much great feedback for a game that I put a lot of emotional investment into. I love reading each and everyone of your comments.

adam-clayden 2019-04-30 17:51

Nice game, nice graphics. I feel like the text should have a skippable feature though. For example, press space to instantly load all the text, that way I can read at my own pace insead of waiting for it to load letter by letter.

synystercola 2019-04-30 20:11

I really like the sprirts and the overall Mood of the game. It was a little annoying when I had to jump but the gave made me talk to the nearby spirit instead. Otherwise, good work! :)

jellzilla 2019-05-01 04:20

Really chill platforming experience with matching music and setting. It was fun to just float around! The sprite stories were pretty humorous as well. Good job overall!

refraction 2019-05-01 20:23

Really nice little experience, love how you went meta in the middle, I know a breathing game by someone too.... Really nice art and good job with the dialogues, a little short but not too bad! Good effort!

pablotitan 2019-05-02 10:26

The story is great, it's like a confession, huh? :D It's great you've managed to "compile" the "WebGL" :D

Cute story and cute graphics. I really enjoyed this.
