very nice platformer game and an impressive art style for a compo game.

Extremely impressive graphics/particles and shaders!

This was very very good, every thing about it was very well done, i feel like you need to expand on this project after the jam - this could become a seriously good game

Took me way to long to realize I could jump on the first cloud haha *face palm*

Super tight controls and I love the graphics. Awesome job mate!

This was really fun to play! The graphics are really impressive and I like the idea, it fits well with the theme. Great job :)

Amazing art! The gameplay is really smooth too

I really liked the pixel art on your game, also good job with the lights.

Also congratulations on the controls and the movement it feels reallh solid and well done and this is something that I allways struggle with :)

Thanks for your submission ;)

Can be really frustrating to fall and accidentally hit an earlier checkpoint, but the graphics are really nice in this

Lovely art style! The gameplay is really smooth and the bats provide a good challenge while trying to navigate over the clouds. Really solid atmosphere!

I like how there wasn't much said other than the controls, but it was designed well enough that the progression was really smooth. Good job!

I love pixel art so much! Looks amazing! I like how the light in the game is designed around the character :ะท

Beautiful graphics. Good job!

Love the pixel art! Not going to lie, I had to read the comments to see that you could jump on the first cloud :D Good job otherwise!

mlho7 2022-04-04 22:35

Really good job, nice and simple, love the palette.

xcarl 2022-04-05 02:57

Really good graphics! At the beginning is hard to realize that you can jump on the clouds. Great job!

I think I found a bug where the game doesn't recognize you as clearing the tree in a box, but it was very good overall, liked the art.

Very nice game, I wish there was audio to go with it, but I guess there's only so much you can do in one weekend.

The graphics and effects are great, the gameplay also has a good concept! A few areas felt a little too hard, such as the tree inside the walls. It took me a couple deaths to light that tree but overall, it was great!

The pixelated graphics are cute and the challenge is moderate. Simple and fun, a good explanation of the theme, the loss of light associated with the field of vision gives the player more decision points, and is a fun and relaxing experience to play.

Nice job, particularly with the artwork and lighting! I'm impressed with how much content you fit into this game. I like that the indicators (like the arrow where you need to make a leap of faith) are only there where you really need them, but I wish they were made into something diegetic.

swen 2022-04-05 19:38

Thanks for the kind words everyone! And another thanks for the useful feedback you all provided. That really helps me improve my games.

lesinvisible 2022-04-15 17:47

I really liked your pixel art style, like it really looks a deliberately chosen style, not just the easiest for the game making. Sadly, the game seems very polished in what it got, but feels a little empty in gameplay. It's a very relaxing experience, but some music addition will be very nice.

The level design and mechanics complement each other really well! It felt satisfying to navigate the world, until I got to the tree that you had to shoot through the small gap, I couldn't bear to continue after dying there a few times :sweat_smile: that being said, overall it was very enjoyable! Congrats on a great compo game!

The artwork is so cute! I think the level design is also sweet, I love the different paths available. I think the hit box on the bat is a little small though. I had a hard time hitting them with the light attack. That aside, really good work on your compo entry! :D
