Nice game. I like the narrative around the platformer game, it's a nice addition that serves the game. Graphics are good too.

Great concept to fit the theme! The two parts fit together nicely and the audio worked well. Nicely done.

Nice game. I like the premise, we've all been there, trying not to stick our feet in our mouth. Weirdly chill vibe and the platforming was pretty well executed. Art was pretty nice and the whole thing was pleasant on the eyes!

This game is great! I love the concept/narrative surrounding the platforming gameplay, and I am looking forward to seeing this game grow!

crygos 2022-04-06 06:26

Overall, a nice game. I liked the visuals and the game felt smooth. Good job!

A nice little platformer. Dialogue upon losing was quite funny. Platforming felt relatively smooth too. well done

Hahah that's so nice and cute, I really feel the meaning of this game xD I love the graphic style and the finishes, and music sounds really cute. Great work !!

erroor666 2022-04-06 09:57

I really liked the graphics especially the main character. Atmospheric sound. Good game to relax! Recpect for the narrative.

azara 2022-04-06 13:23

Love the art style, it's simplistic, but it works! Also really love the atmosphere, brillant submission!

satacat 2022-04-06 19:50

Very good and frustrating game cause I've started projecting. But it's in a good way so well done!

ranj 2022-04-07 00:06

Interesting simple platformer with good style and idea. The game has very comfortable controls, so it's a pleasure to pass it.

rowlna 2022-04-07 06:02

It was pretty cute! I had some issues along the way with say the end timer and grabbing more time on the same frame and being able to move in the start cutscene. But I thought the art looked great! Platforming was a bit difficult on my end but thats all I can say on that!

josh-bothun 2022-04-07 06:31

Nice color palette and mood for sure. I found the platforming controls a little difficult as i kept sticking to the edge of platforms, but overall nice work.

Very nice take on the theme. Platforming felt pretty good. It was unclear in the beginning that there were more thoughts than needed, and it would have been nice to be able to restart without watching the opening cut-scene over again. For a jam game, however, that is mostly just nitpicking. The audio felt good, and the visuals were done very nicely

Nice platformer! The concept was very creative. The art was good too. Well done :)

fireslash 2022-04-07 07:11

I love how you've packaged this with a simple narrative to sell the idea.

One thing I noticed is that the moving platforms affect player velocity in weird ways. This is pretty common when using physics engines; the physics tend to get in the way of the player's intent. It might be worth looking into more explicit movement systems for future games so you can get tighter movement.

Overall nice work!

apostle 2022-04-07 09:42

The idea is great situation all of us have been through, controls are a bit hard, and platforms should have had an option to descend from them, still good game, matched the theme, well done!

amkingtrp 2022-04-07 14:26

short but sweet. The platforming mechanics actually felt really good and fluid. The sort of chill visuals and music suited it well.

useless-fish 2022-04-07 14:27

THE GAME IS SOO SMOOTH

andreia 2022-04-07 15:54

Thanks everyone for playing! And thanks for the feedback which will help improve the quality ^^

heloise 2022-04-07 16:53

El control de este juego es suuuuper satisfactorio, quizá tienes poco control en el salto para mi gusto, pero en general he disfrutado mucho jugando, juego cortito pero muy guay :heart:

kndratova 2022-04-07 19:34

I wanna say that the art is excellent! Is there a way to develop the dialogue depending on the amount of collected ponts?

andreia 2022-04-08 00:39

@kndratova thanks for playing! We wanted to do more endings depending on how many you get but currently there are only 2 - win and fail.

saryah 2022-04-08 11:04

Neat concept with the two tying together very well, and good fit for the theme. The platforming I think that a "drop down platform" action would be nice to have but other than that it was great!

domin77 2022-04-08 16:16

Interesting concept but really creative I like it. Nice art and good gameplay, well done :slight_smile: .

kimyokage 2022-04-08 18:43

Nice artwork, atmosphere is great and the movement feels very smooth. Well done!

reispfannenfresser 2022-04-08 20:30

This is one of the most positive takes on the theme I've seen so far! The only thing I'd criticise is the length of gameplay. It took me about a minute to see both endings. (I assume there's no more than two, since I did some more ambitious tries later and kept getting the same win ending)

BUT: I guess you could easily expand it with more (maybe even random) dialogue or reply options for different amounts of collected thoughts. Seeing the story progress could be an interesting hook for such a simple platforming game.

It overall felt very polished and the "joke" saturation felt good, albeit the game's shortness.

jasontherand 2022-04-08 20:32

I would love to see this expanded to a whole conversation. Its a clever idea, and I think you all executed it very well. The platforming feels good and the level design is nice. The art looks good and cohesive, and the soundtrack fit well. Great job!

n00b 2022-04-09 02:23

This is a really good game. The graphics and the music were really good and it over all kept a very somber mood. I also really liked the gameplay.

katsuhira 2022-04-10 14:30

Good idea, loved the atmosphere and the music! :)

angiemon 2022-04-11 10:54

Ohh, I really like this! A very creative take of the topic, I really liked how this is a happy ending, not like 99% of all othe entries, which are highscoregames (like ours *cough*... I really disliked this jam's topic!! :P)

The graphics looked very unique and beautiful, like a real game on steam :D (Really like that coal drawing aesthetic!)

Controls felt very smooth, I would have liked it if you can move one platform down with the down arrow (or S button) although that's probably how you didn't intend it and admittedly added a new challenge to reach those parts :)

Being able to skip the intro would have been nice as it's a rather fast paced game (if you suck, anyway) but that's a minor detail almost nobody has time for at a jam ^^ (neither did we xD)

Screenshot 2022-04-11 at 12.49.38.png Also: yay ^^ I'll give it a another shot later, maybe my smooth talking can make them marry me on the spot :P

Good job, guys!

lpettler 2022-04-11 19:05

Very cool graphics and a sweet take on the theme and the platformer genre. The difficulty level is a bit low and it'd be great if there were more "levels" but this criticism (not enough of a good thing) are about the best and most common critiques on these Jams.

don-fouts 2022-04-11 21:08

I really like the graphics and theme. I almost lost after winning by not realizing I had to wait for the time to run out once I got 20 clouds. I was running around hitting all the red things and realized my score dropped. Cool entry, nice work!

100th-coin 2022-04-14 17:53

I love the particle trail behind the player! I think the game was a bit too short, but I enjoyed the story. Perhaps the story could continue, where you're talking to each other at the coffee shop, and you need to respond to their questions in a similar manner to the first level. The graphics are pretty cool, I enjoyed the black and white aesthetic. Nice work!

sarah 2022-04-18 22:41

It felt really polished and smooth overall, I liked the graphics a lot too. The level was a little bit boring, but overall well done!

doot 2022-04-19 20:32

Nice game!

I like your interpretation of the theme, it's quite close to ours in some way ❤️‍🔥

The platforming controls work fine and the balance between trying to get clouds and time is good. The art is very good. It felt a bit dark/sad, was it on purpose?

Thanks for the game, I had fun!

FYI I had issues on the start menu of the web version on chrome and had to zoom my window for it to display properly. In the game everything was fine.
