The HTML5 game isn't published yet. Please fix, I'm intrigued.

ava-skoog 2020-10-06 08:53

@w0nk4: Dang, I thought at least I'd managed to get that done in the sleepy haze of the submission hour! 😅 Clicked publish now! Won't have time to make the page pretty until after work tho.

This is really polished. Great look, sound, and feel to it. I'm a big fan of Braid so was able to grasp the mechanics quickly. Excellent entry as always.

Good stuff :8ball:

This is such a unique game! Loved how the story and gameplay were put together - with amazing sound, even better graphics... Awesome!

croxel-studios 2020-10-06 11:46

Impressive! The mechanics kind of reminded me of Braid, but with a circular twist. And the atmosphere created by the graphics and sound is pretty unique. Such a great experience, congrats!

Love the mood in this game, wow. The clouds were a little bugged for me I had to restart the game to get to the end but nota problem to play it again.

ps jumping upside down is supprisingly difficult.

ava-skoog 2020-10-07 07:15

Thanks, everyone!! 🤩

Agree with you on the jumping, @selftitled đŸ¤¯ The clouds are a bit wonky, yeah; ran out of time to fine-tune them â˜šī¸

Very imaginative, yet in some ways realistic. I like the way that time moves forward and backward. Some of the levels were too hard (e.g. the teenage years) but that's probably just me. Well done.

eduard-hauer 2020-10-13 15:48

A good game but I found a bug or something: at first the clouds were simple platforms but if you go left and jump there and hold left the game will glitch and now the clouds are jumpy platforms and sometimes I could make a hyperjump to the skies

Interesting game. I really loved the sound in it and it was easy enough that even if I didn't fully grasp exactly how the time-rewind mechanics worked I could manage my way to the end. The color shift in the visual effect when rewinding was very nice. I got the feeling that some objects behaved differently to the rewind than others, perhaps it would be nice if they were explicitly marked somehow. I was also quite confused in the beginning since rewinding when the arrow symbol appeared didn't really seem to help solving the first obstacle / people. I did at times forget to read the story when I was focusing on getting past the obstacles, so if something alerted to it a bit stronger or if it was voice acted... but time is short during LD and this was a very nice game.

Thank you three too! Agree with your points.

@eduard-hauer: Good find, I never came across that, might try and fix it 😅

Some platform elements were a bit hard and maybe frustrating, but it's a great game! Awesome art, touching story and interesting level design!

infinitestatemachine 2020-10-20 19:57

Whoa really nice work. The way the platforms extend more and more when you go backwards was really interesting. Just when I thought I couldnt make the jump I made the jump :)

Music interaction is really cool too!.

ava-skoog 2020-10-21 19:30

Thank you two!

lukuluk 2020-10-24 00:02

<3 I could not easily figure out how the pink clouds mechanic worked, but for the rest it's a pretty interactive story!

ava-skoog 2020-10-26 13:50

Thank you!

Very beautiful little game. Not a whole lot of gameplay but that is fine. The reverse mechanic was interesting Good job!

le-slo 2020-10-26 16:04

Interesting take on the circular platformers I have seen on the jam, with a strong commitment to the story, which I found very cool. Platforming was not specially fun and I didn't manage to understand how clouds worked, but the game is short enough to deliver a very nice experience. The audio is carefully made and the level of polish is remarkable, very good job!

thegreenworm 2020-10-26 16:29

I like the simple graphics, and the story is simple but great ! Some platforming challenges felt like I was "breaking" the game trying to complete them (some platforms are slightly higher than my jump, but with some weird wall collisions I managed to get up the construction site)

cg-fred 2020-10-26 16:41

Wow, this game was a super nice experience. Loved the whole circle of life experience the the story was nice. The only slightly annoying part was the controls but otherwise it was a super nice entry with an interesting game mechanic.

noah100 2020-10-26 16:49

Absolutely stunning!!!

keithswanger 2020-10-26 17:08

Just a very enjoyable experience. Thanks for making this!

ava-skoog 2020-10-26 17:52

Thanks, everyone! Do agree that the platforming and puzzles ended up falling a bit short in this one. 😅 Glad you enjoyed the story aspect of it!

zoomer 2020-10-26 19:21

Wow that was very fun. Such a cool idea that I haven't seen before and the effect on going back was pretty nice. I dont know how this doesn't have more ratings but it sure deserves more. Well done, really enjoyed

hicko 2020-10-26 21:54

aidanmarkham 2020-10-26 23:50
