Not seeing a character so can't get past the first platforming, guessing it's hidden behind a different layer? Edit: Tried it again and I get it. I think the controls are a little tight for platforming with the player just barely scraping the height needed. Neat concept though.

@aaranos Actually it's intended that you start with nothing, even your character is invisible... The keys shown on the screen should tell you how to interact.

I loved that, the art was amazing and the theme was nicely implemented. Great entry!

Hey, the game was really cute, especially the end, here's a few points to improve in my opinion : -Try to find a way to set apart the back ground and the platform, I fell some times because I thought I was on a platform. -only one bug met all items spawn at the start of every levels event though we seems to have them on us

Otherwise a cool game ans I liked the fact that we don't see our character at the start and wait until we find a cloth to see him

@aozo Yes we had to rush the game in and at some of the last moments I realized that if you die in a level, items aren't saved, so I quickly just spawned them to start of every level... Otherwise after death you would just spawn invisible without capability to do anything else than moving right or left.

Very clever use of the theme and very pretty to look at. If only the controls were a bit less floaty this would be a perfect entry :)

I like finding objects to resist the environment, it's really a good idea ! The game is fun, the chara is cute and the design is really beautiful ! Good work !

Neat concept, not bad. Definitely some polish can make it a decent game!

I enjoyed playing this rainy game, especially the beginning (very good implementation of the theme). I think that some indication of items needed for people around would be nice, maybe some layering in displayed graphics(in front of player and behind player moving with paralax effect). Thanks for the game

I like the rain effects on the umbrella

Pretty good game with nice graphics, just some scales might be weird (people are really tall) and it is not always easy to understand what objects are platforms. I really like the story and cinematics. Good job!

I found it very interesting that we both had such a similar concept idea (although our games are quite different ofc). So naturally I think you did a great interpretation of the theme :wink:

The graphics are nice and coherent and it's cool to see another game that includes a story. Great job!

The art and look of the game was nice! I liked the way you start invisible and have to find your first clothes and boots. The jumping was a bit heavy for a platformer but otherwise a nice entry with nice graphics! Also the beginning "cutscene" was a nice touch.

I liked the graphics and the idea. When you pick up some objects on the screen, the music gets dark.

Cool game. Loved the story and art.
