The game was pretty cool! I liked the crystal theme and all the sounds. There was only two things that I had hard time getting through and it was the fact that it was in another language and that I didn't really know what I did. But other wise the game was pretty cool! :D
Today i will made a build in english, thanks for review
Good game. The graphics really elevated the it. Good job.
@adamwatters Thank you very much! We ourselves are delighted with our artist :-)
Art and overall presentation is very nice! The controls (on Windows) seemed a bit odd to me, though I know that it was made for Android.
My biggest issue was that the hitbox (for collecting gems) felt unnecessarily small. It's a good idea to have a larger hitbox for collecting things and then you can still have a small hitbox for colliding with the hazards.
Great job!
The graphics and the mood are great! I enjoyed the little introduction animation and how you incorporated the title of the game right into the start.
I didn't play this on mobile, but I did on Windows.
Some feedback and opportunities for improvement: - The hitboxes are a little strange. I think the actual hitbox is low because sometimes the gems I was trying to pick up passed right behind the player graphic and didn't register. Likewise, I hit spikes before my player graphic reached them. - Moving to the press is risky because our fingers are so large. I don't know this for a fact, but I would imagine that my finger would block my character. It might also block the view of the obstacles and pickups. - The controls seemed a little off for me but I'm struggling to figure out why. The character doesn't really move to where the pointer is but follows the motion which to me is unintuitive. - Sometimes the pickups spawn in obstacles that will kill you. - The wings end very suddenly and can end you in an obstacle that kills you.
Not trying to be harsh! There is a lot of really good stuff here!
New Update: Add English language. Change Score counting.
@thesambassador @minibobbo Thanks for your feedback.
We are going to polish and make a better game.
The art and sound for the game is really nice! One you get used to the controls, the game also feels really good to play. Having a few different areas is cool too, considering not all game jam games have the time to do it. If I were to suggest one thing, it would be to adjust the hitbox size of the character (I find myself missing gems that I feel I should have collected.) Other than that, this game is great! Well done!
@blue05 Thank you so much for your feedback!
I am very glad that you liked our game. I assure you-we will finish what we started and make it even better! :-)
Art and music are great, and music goes well with the theme!
However I played on PC, and accuracy with a mouse was not very good. A bit unprecise, while speed goes up quite fast. Also difficult to click on the buttons with effects (glider / shield effects) while controlling the character. I might have missed instructions though, couldn't find where to switch languages and can't read Russian.
I still think you got a nice foundation here and with some polish it can become a very nice game! Congrats on the submission!
@bidentworks Thanks for feedback. We added English.
Wow, I love the visuals! The background is very pretty. an oh my god, the music! Seriously, the music is such a jam. I accidentally picked up the Russian version from the itch page, so I'm not sure howe well, I did, but here's by best run: zlD_gem.PNG
@100th-coin thank you very much! It's very nice :-)
You have shown yourself well! Очки = Score. So you have earned 176 points )
Great hyper casual game! Very addictive. I will not repeat other remarks. I'll just say it's cool.
@scrawach thanks for replay
really nice game ! I love the graphic
@nyanpierre thank you for those words! :-)
Good graphics :eyes:
Приятная игрушка. Не очень удобное управление мышкой, было бы интересно попробовать на смартфоне, но у меня, к сожалению, нет андроида. Хитбоксы кристаллов было бы круто сделать побольше. Визуал приятный.
@ekaterina @evileptic thx u!)
Nice game. The music fits perfectly the arts.
@lepoulet thx u!)
At first glance, the game looks very attractive, and this feeling persists until 150-200 meters of falling. Then the monotonous process gradually kills the interest. In general, the impressions are positive, you are well done!
PS: Funny visual effect - if you focus your eyes on the environment, it seems that you fall slowly. If you focus on the main character-the speed increases :)
На первый взгляд игра выглядит очень привлекательно, и это чувство сохраняется до 150-200 метров падения. Затем однообразный процесс постепенно интерес убивает. В целом впечатления положительные, вы молодцы!
ЗЫ: Забавный визуальны эффект - если сосредоточить взгляд на окружении, кажется что падаешь медленно. Если сосредоточиться на главном герое - скорость возрастает :)
Really like the game. I really like how the music and background changes over time. I didnt know that the bug or trap looking thing would increase your speed and give you temporary invincibility as I thought it would kill you, and I have avoided it for most of the time until I got hit by it once and found out. Other than that small nitpick really cool and fun game
hi the game is cool to play although it is a little difficult to play with the computer but it is very good привет с Украины кста)
@narwaffles Thank you so much, it's very nice to read! Your situation turned out to be quite funny and unexpected : -) On the other hand, we did not give any information about possible amplifications, so perhaps it is not surprising that this is confusing. Everything will be better in the final version of the game! :-)
@maybeagoose Thanks! The PC build was made nominally, as the final version of the game will only be available on mobile platforms. :-) И тебе привет)
Пожалуй, следовало делать игру на английском языке :) В целом выглядит и звучит все очень круто, но вот с управлением что-то не то. Героиня то виснет, то резко летит в сторону. Выглядит как баг или я просто не разобрался
Тут как раз есть ссылки на английскую версию. С управлением к сожалению не хватило времени на дароботку. Спасибо за отзыв.
@robotex спасибо за отзыв! Русские билды у нас лежат на Itch, а прямые ссылки отсюда - на английские билды) По поводу управления - да, оно немного с косяками, как написал Олег, не успели доработать. Однако, чтобы не происходило дерганий и зависаний, необходимо играть с зажатым тачем (не отпускать палец с экрана) или зажатой ЛКМ (если играете не ПК). Тогда управление становится более отзывчивым и контролируемым.
Еще раз спасибо!
It looks very nice visually. Scored 350 points)
Great visuals and plays pretty well even on Windows. I liked the music and color palette alot. Impressive for only 72 hours!
The visuals here are great! Very rarely do I find myself enjoying monochromatic aesthetics but this is done very well, I'd like to see more transitions between the screens though, because the one for the title is very nice.
+Классные вступление и концовка(спасибо багу щита что я смог ее посмотреть)
+Красивый арт
-тяжелое управление
-маленький хитбокс
-незаметные абилки с непонятным действием
@cyzaine Thank you so much!) Maybe I can surprise you even more - we made it in 48 hours! :-) Because on Monday we didn't have a chance to work anymore
@dreadusa Thank you for the feedback, we will take this into account!
@captandrey спасибо! Мы как раз работаем над исправлением минусов)
Good game! But it was a bit uncomfortable for me to play...
@quackbehavior Thanks! I assume the game was uncomfortable because of the controls?
Good job on visuals
@team-on thx u!
