Good game, I thought the pacing felt just right. The repeating background track did get a bit irritating after a bit but it wasn't the end of the world.

Very chill game and really pretty! It's fun using the flute and the sound effects that go along with it are great. I would love to have a pause menu to be able to exit the game and I would love to have something when I die that give some closure. Maybe presenting the flowers to the sphynx or even just something like "you made it to level ____ and use your flute _____ number of times." Great work!

Hi! Your game looked very good. How many flowers I need to collect for win? Take a look my game here https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/space-mouse

Very charming visual aesthetic and atmosphere, I do feel like a few enemies spawned very close to me when jumping through a hole though it didn't happen very often. Awesome game :)

Loved the art style on this one, and the background music too! Fun little game, straighforward mechanics and gameplay. Some health pickups would be nice though XD

Very nice work! I really like the simple but stylish art and the small touches like making trees transparent when you're behind them. The setting was also interesting and I thought the music fit with it well.

I got stuck on depth 8 though, maybe I missed something but I couldn't find any more enemies yet there was no hole to jump through. But overall, very impressive!

It took me a while to find the first hole but I had a good time. I like the mood and the graphics of the game! Good point for the transparency effect on trees to let you see the player. Great job!

Nice graphics. Interesting idea. That would be a big dungeon with many enemies

cool game, I liked graphics. I'd like some life restore some times xD but maybe I missed something

Nice game! I enjoyed the different attacks to make it feel more varied. There were enough different enemies to be satisfying as well. A couple times I was attacked as soon as I fell to the next level though, so maybe keeping the enemies farther from the center until you drop would be good.

It must have been a lot of work making the different AI for each enemy, but as a player I think it was worth it. Each enemy felt challenging and needed a different strategy.

Very cute art. I wonder how many levels you guys prepared. The only thing the game lacks is some (randomly dropped prob.) pick-ups to restore health or something. Enjoyed playing your game, thanks!

What, why not WASD? Arrow keys are so 90s! :-D Also on my German keyboard Z and Y are swapped, so your keyboard layout is really annoying to use.

I love the little world you have created. On a techical level, while I get stuck behind a tree every once in a while, I like the simple square layout and even though each stage is full of things it is very easy to maneuver, obstacles in the front are made see through, nice touch!

All the different enemies and how they behave differently, really awesome! I noticed that I can just hide behind a tree and the boar will not get to me, running in circles until it hits something :-D

The music is really great, the choice of instruments fits the theme of course but the music also stands on its own, it is really catchy and although it repeats, it is not repetitve, great job!

The 3D world is amazing, you really put a lot of effort into creating these models and they are all very consistent. It is really a unique world that you created here. The visual style is cool, the little glowing particles in this world of magic and the fantastic creatures, I love it! Also the visual queues are very precise, the flowery hole in the ground, that opens when you kill all those magical creatures for no good reason, stands out so you instinctively know to jump into it. The colors for the animals are chosen wisely as well. Green is the background, everything else is something to kill in a botanically brutal manner, really easy to understand and intuitive.

Why is there no health to be regained anywhere? 51 flowers and still no end in sight? Another try will do... no, 37. 49. 49 again. Is there any way to win this game? It is really hard! 121. That was the last try. I am quitting :-)

Why is the mouse there all the time? Make it invisible.

Wow, what a great game, really awesome, you did a really good job creating a world of its own. It is a pity I did not get to giving the gal her flowers.

Keep up the good work!

This immediately put a big smile on my face, the mood is a solid 5+ :D High score of 146! The mechanics was simple yet really solid, dodge and shout and the note was a perfect mix of abilities that worked great together, I feel like I could play this endless if I got a little more practice in. Learned to dodge in the air to avoid getting hit immediately after landing, intended or not, it was a nice discovery! Awesome!

Enjoyed navigating each level and encountering different enemies, sadly, got killed by pig

Fun adventure game. Good mood with the music and graphics combining to sell the setting. Mouse/touch support would have been nice.

hypp 2021-04-28 20:07

Nice. I like the mood and the graphics.
