Character sprite looked great! Dialogue system looked very smooth as well, which is impressive given the allotted time (my dialogue systems are always a bit finnicky even after spending a week+ on them)

Dialog system is smooth, and the character in it are nice, the whitey button on it i would have tried to get rid of because all the rest of graphics are very cohesive. Very moody, i have greatly enjoyed my time :)

I think it was pretty ambitious to go for what you did. The sprite work was cool and the mood was good. From a purely gameplay perspective the jump was a bit floaty for me. But that could just be personal preferance.

Cool game, nice mood. I reay feel this character.I'm sad that the game is short

Graphics and mood is great. The operation good. Looking forward to adding playable content.

Graphics, dialog system, mood is great. Game is fairly short so I'm looking forward to more content.

Graphics and music are great ! Good job

Great job on the atmosphere, and the control is incredibly solid. Art work looks great and the animation on the character is very smooth. Thanks for the game!

Cool background music and amazing stylized graphics. But on the shelves (?) it's too noticeable that it's all one texture. And I agree with @vincent-abel-grimalt that the white button, or rather the inscription on it, interferes with perception.

I really liked the music and animation of the character). But there is very little content even for jam.

Hey, great job on your first entry! The art looked quite, and together with the writing and music complimented the mood well. This is clearly your strength. It seems that this is also where you both put the most effort in. Keep that up. I also liked the length, but I felt that the ending was quite abrupt.

Now on to the minor nit picks: The character controller felt a bit floaty and there was a little jump every time I almost reached an edge of a platform. The jump ark felt very nice.

I am delighted to see what you can do after a half year of improvement!

I loved the character sprite and the whole mood of the game. The story really got me and I have to say I would have loved a bit more. I kinda liked the "floatiness" of the character, as it goes well with her design. It was a bit hard to know where to land on the platform tho.

nice game, i wasn't expected it to turn to a platformer.

Nice little short experience, I thought I could walk down the level first by pressing and holding S. Not really sure it fits "deeper" when you have to go up. But it's a cool entry. BTW. if you like comments press the little heart button, it will give KARMA to the people. Thank you :) p.s. it's always good to name your ZIP file after your game, otherwise people won't find it on their harddrives.

Did anyone else get stuck moving left? Probably something on my end... Other than that it seemed like a good game concept and a great first entry! The mood was wonderful; if it wasn't too stressful the first time, keep it up!

Interesting game! Amazing animation and music!

simul 2021-05-04 13:10

I think it was a really interesting idea, but definitely very short! The typos throughout the text harmed the mood a bit for me, but the music and mood is really good! I can't wait to see what you get up to next!

necdilzor 2021-05-04 23:34

I think this was really innovative on the jam theme! A bit short but is a nice concept to keep exploring :)

videt 2021-05-05 09:49

The game is very short but has nice graphics and a great mood! Nice entry

mrpouletbzh 2021-05-05 14:00

For a first time, it looks very promising, good job!

bobafett89 2021-05-14 23:20

Nice little game, i wasn't expecting that it would be so short, but still it was interesting. Good job!

Hello Everybody,

I have just completed my playing and rating spree of everybodys game, thank you for all of the feedback you have given us, this game would not have been possible to do without my girlfriend doing all the heavy lifting of the art and character animations, this is our first game as a team and we are working on improving our skills in game development and will come back in the next ludum dare, this was an awesome first experience and we are hyped for more.

We know the game could have used more polish and we will try our best to make it look better next time, i will get rid of the floatiness in the controlls and remake the dialogue system as it was a nightmare to deal with, i lost almost a day just on fixing bugs for the dang thing, lots of lessons learned that will be improved on with the next project.

Thank you one more time for all the fun games and il see you next time!

alprog 2021-05-16 14:19

Very short. I hope next time you will make longer game because atmosphere is promising.

miklo 2021-05-16 19:52

Short and sweet. Would love to see more!

xatulu 2021-05-17 17:00

Lots of other people are like "it's very short". However, when I participated in my first jam, people told me to keep the actual game below 5 minutes in order to make sure that people can experience the full game.

As such, you totally nailed it in my books - short, sweet with great artstyle, music and animations. Would play again, keep at it!

I really love this game !!!

A very emotional and psychological game. I liked the graphics and the music. At first I got a little confused with the camera and it took me a while to understand what to do haha. But in general the experience of the game was good. Congratulations.
