I wish some of the jumps weren't blind jumps, maybe add mouse look. Its a decent platformer, but could use some work on the level design

Fun little game this, cool graphics with challenging jumps. Some of the jumps were made pretty hard because you couldnt see the platforms all of the time, but it wasnt that much of a bother Also I really like the way the game ended, the fact that the game had a proper ending was a nice surprise

I like the firefly mechanic, but found it a little frustrating that I kept missing jumps.

I think the mood will be better with some sounds feedbacks like when we collect fireflies or when we push rocks and open doors.

Some of jumps are too hard (maybe impossible?) Add some Ui will be a good idea like pause menu to quit the game

Pretty solid overall! I really liked the art and the sense of atmosphere. Also, while I thought the level design was fine, because of how quickly the player moves when they fall and jump, the camera felt a little too zoomed-in. Zooming out the camera would make it easier to aim for platforms below and around you.

Blind jumps are usually frustrating, but overall, good job ! :) Well done !

it's a good little game, i liked atmosphere and art, especially how player look, but it's very uncomfortable that player always at the bottom of the camera view. Well done!

Controls look a bit messy sometimes (character slides or accelerate on slopes). Character animation is simple but cool. You should speed up walk animation because it walks slower than he moves Walls lower your jumps and sometimes it's frustrating when you miss a jump. Talking about jumps, it's scary to jump when you don't see what's below. Game lacks a bit of sound effects when interacting with fireflies, doors and rocks. The music and the overall design are a bit scary but I lack the feeling. Congrats on your game :)

Very good job! The sound and graphics are really good! But the goal is not very clear :(

Anyway, game is really fun and relaxing!

I really liked the ambiance of the game! Like other said, it would be nice to see where are the lower platforms before jumping, but I liked collecting the fireflies. I also got stuck near the first boulder and had to restart the game Capture.PNG

Good game, loved the ending! The mood is great, the music and the art fit really well together and promote tense atmosphere. Animation was very smooth and the movement felt really well. For some reason, the character was moon walking when standing on a surface with an angle but it looked quite fun. I just missed a bit of diversity in the gameplay but overall it's a pretty solid entry. Well done and keep it up!

Really great atmosphere, music and art - character, background, the little 'spheres' ... I really liked it.

the only thing i would like to add is a way of looking down - because sometimes i couldn't see the platforms.

Despite that, the gameplay is good and this game is really a piece of art. beautiful and straight to the theme. Great work!

Pretty good! :)

Great presentation. I enjoyed playing the game. I liked the firefly mechanic. Good Job.

Very great game, great audio, environment and atmosphere! I would suggest maybe adding auto-opening doors when you approach them instead of locking it to a key bind. And I also somehow got stuck between a rock and the terrain, maybe add some checkpoints and a restart button as well, that would be great!

This game is pretty awesome! I love the graphics and the music fits it prefectly.

Nice take on the theme for this. The game crashed a few times for me but I like what I did get through

Really like the art for this one, especially the intro cutscene and the creature at the end of the game! The colors and the shadow like objects in the background really add to the "going into a creepy forest" aesthetic. My only complaint would be the level design as some of the jumps are really tight and some of the jumps are blind. Like the concept of collecting fireflies to get deeper into the forest, thought that was a creative way for progressing through the game. Good game!
