Wonderful graphics, really nice combined with the background music. Unfortunately I had difficulties with the controls - when you walk at the beginning out of the screen (left) you can't get back and you also don't end the game - same when you die.
Yeah, the controls need to be better. Guess the graphics took most of the time.
Such a beautiful game. Really nice mood, music is awesome.
Got stuck after freeing the rabbit and falling into the pit. I could not die or reset, the escape menu wasn't of any help. Tried 4 more times to go through but nothing :(.
Congratulations on your entry tho !
The graphics are outstanding (can I get the artist contact?)!!!!!!! Story seems nice too. Unfortunately, I could not progress further because I get stuck in the second screen.
Gorgeous graphics! Keep up the great work. I had an issue that I was unable to click in the menu that pops up when ESC is pressed and when I've fallen into a pit, nothing happened and I was unable to get out.
@holly @jungle @rakart @lunavenator @joshua-jebadurai thank you so much for your feedback! Yes, unfortunately we had some problems with time management (my bad), but still, we wanted to show you something and we 100% will finish this beautiful game.

Can't fault the art direction. Game looks great. I encountered some of the bugs mentioned above. Well done!
Выглядит круто, спасибо :D
Both the art style and the music are lovely and fit really nicely, but as others mention, bugs spoil the fun a bit. Great job on making the game!
Lovely artstyle, straight from a fairytales! Had somes troubles with bug and i had to restart but except for that it's a solid entry
The game is really good looking. The sprites and animations are really well done and I see that you had some interesing ideas with there the story was going. I really wish there were ways to explore the whole game.
The bugs I encountered: - The absense of bugs in the firefly catching quest. I mean literally - there were no fireflies or any other bugs present so I had to return to the Fairy girl empty handed. Still she reacted as if I did everything right. - A pit hidden at the left side of the level. You can fall into it and the game will get soft locked. - When you do fall into a pit the game does not end or restart. It just gets stuck. Apparently somewhere down there the character still exists and can walk left and right (as camera will pan the main level to follow).
Отдельный плюс игре за русскоязычные тексты. Хотя в паре мест, в шрифте не нашлось кирилической буквы и в тексте показался квадратик. В общем, я представляю что такое делать локализуемую игру, и поздравляю с тем что вы смогли осилить механику локализации в рамках Джема.
@sherwin-claridge @zimny11 @thiradil thank you so much for playing!
@dimonoider @hilvon вам спасибо) и отдельное спасибо за список багов, мы их все записываем и скоро садимся доделывать игру
Got to a place with a big enemy guarding an egg (I think). Couldn't figure out what to do next and the enemy didn't do any damage.
@thebmxeur yeah, sorry for that, we didn't finish the game. But thank you for playing!
Extremely beautiful game with good sound design.
Got stuck when I avoided the giant rabbit and then fell in the pit. Had to reload the game.
Apart from this, really enjoyed it ! Thanks for the experience !
A very interesting approach to the sidescroller genre. The backrounds are very artistic and beautiful though some of the elements lack polishing. I also like the soundtrack which is very fitting with the flutes and strings. Sadly there is no complete ending to the story but it's still very charming and a nice experience.
@lucky-trident @xenobey thank you so much! (I wish I had hugging smile here)
I love the art. The background art style is very astethic and the characters look very well done as well. Having some animation playing for the blonde girl would have given her a bit more liveliness.
The background for the textbox seems a bit too large. There are usually only a few lines of text but yet it still covers half the screen, hiding all the beautiful art.
The first time I played I fell into the first pit and I think there is no way to get out or restart the game when that happens. So I had to force quit the app and launch it again. The second time the same happens. On my third attempt I figured out that there is a double jump :P
The atmosphere is really great which is what kept me restarting the app until I reached "the end" (at least I think I managed to get to the end).
These are the issues I would attempt to prioritize to fix: - restart the player when they fall into a pit - the esc menu doesn't seem to work at all. I could have used that to manually reset my player. - add some sort of non-verbal tutorial to teach the player that a double jump exists. Without letting them jump into the pit until they figure it out. Check out this video about how mario levels are built in 4 steps. The first step is what I am talking about: https://bit.ly/3eAjJCR - the animation states seem to be a bit broken. The character is "falling" even though he stands on flat ground.
Thank you very much for sharing your game. It was interesting to look at the art while listening to the very fitting music :)
Since bugs are already mentioned, I will just say that apart from those it's a beautiful game, and I hope you continue working on it post-jam.
Good work!
@noel-widmer wow, thank you so much for this huge and pretty useful feedback! And thank you for playing
@okamit Thank you for playing!
So cool game)
@markveligod Марк, спасибо :)
Wowwww, nice game! Amazing atmosphere and beautiful graphics! Congrats from Brazil!
Good job :).
@squiers Muito obrigado! (I hope it's right)
@eugenik Thank you!
Excellent game, very engaging
Yep, it's really beautiful graphics and sound! Nice.
@mpetrus @scrawach thank you!
Top graphics. I do not pay attention to small shoals within the jam, the lack of a splint is a minus, but not critical, but the lack of rebirth after death is seriously annoying. Every time I had to restart the game, after 3 attempts to complete the level with flying islands, I gave up. Nevertheless, the experience of the game is positive, it's a good job.
@fearawl Thank you so much for playing and for useful feedback!
Wonderful art in this game! Especially loved the gorgeous backdrops o:
Sadly, I too couldn't get past the first hole until I read Noel Widmer's thorough comment. So I gave it another try and discovered a few gorgeous art pieces more. The fact you fall deeper and deeper without end is, while fitting to this LDs theme, a frustrating experience. With a fix to that alone, the game would be a lot more enjoyable!
/edit: Oh, while it doesn't concern me, I really like the extra time you put into a localization to Russian!
@trexxak well, localization was to English) Thank you so much for playing!
Such a pretty game, and I quite liked the music too excellent work!
Congratulations on your game, art is one of the points to stand out, bugs have already been reported, because apparently this project is in its initial phase, and this is extremely normal and comprehensive, I would like to make suggestions for future upgrades, work with more layers, and thus get a parallax, add noise to the environment to decrease the contrast of the player with the scenery, I hope you continue to evolve in the project because you have in your hands a jewel, which if it is well polished will have a great shine, a big hug to the whole team.
@pat-cleaver @etrealjunior thank you so much, guys :hugging:
Great job making this game! The graphics are just gorgeous! I sadly got stuck after the rabbit trap. After restarting the game, I managed to go further but didn't understand what to do with the big dark bunny. ^^' I'd be curious to see more of this game!
like others mentioned before there are a lot of bug. however the art, music and mood of this game was off the charts. I would like to find out more of the story. nice job. thanks for making this game.
@gamedev-and-architecture @paulhocker thank you so much!
Very good art but gameplay is broken :( I can't pass further after the first pit.
@alprog thanks for playing!
