Amazing work! Love the art, the concept, and the control is really fluid. Great job!
The sound and the graphism are insane, loved the Level design too !
WOW this game is polished. Graphics, Audio, animations all is very worked out. Loved the little bat character and his eating grapes animation. The platforming goes hard with the mix between wind and thunder, very Celeste like. I enjoyed it very much! 10/10
Incredible game, well done. I love everything about it, such a unique game to fit the theme. I love how the mechanic was expanded upon from lightning to include the wind. The graphics and audio are both so beautiful, the reactive music really tops it all off.
Wow! Great job you guys. Level design is on point. Love the bat munching the berries animation. Audio is also very well done. Such great execution of the lightning and wind mechanics. Just wonderful.
Incredible game very chill and the gameplay is clean !
Just masterpiece. Really see it in my Steam wishlist
OMG I love it! <3<3<3 I love bats! Very cute!
My tiny nitpick: It'd be nice if lightning had a different audio cue than wind when it was about to strike. Sometimes I didn't notice the small icon change.
Absolutely beautiful, 10/10
Really really well done little platformer. The level design was great!
Fantastic game 10/10. Great use of colors. Keep it up!
Wow, absolutely love this game! The graphics, colors, atmosphere, controls, just everything! And so many levels! :o
What an amazing game, I got the Ori vibes and that is my all time favourite platformer. Considering the time constrain and the overall quality I have no things to point out.
Those bats are so adorable. I love the look and feel, and enjoyed every bit of my play-through.
Cute bat and interesting levels. Im bad player in games like this, but spent a lot of time in this game. Really great job!
LOVELY game!!! I really want a full release with more levels and stuff!! I had so much fun. The quality of everything was top notch as well!! Well done to everyone! :D
Very interesting game! I did see the inspiration of 6FU like you had mentioned haha. The mechanics were interesting I liked them. The level design felt a bit repetitive though, however, there were some really interesting jumps/segment in there too! The audio was soothing and set up for some great aesthetic. Also loved the SFX!
Yooo I love the graphics! The bat is just to cute and the simple colour palette works really nice! :))
Really great game. The visuals, the BGM/SFX, the game design and incorporating the theme. All around a very solid entry. Really enjoyed my time playing it.
Congratulations to the team, everything is well balanced and of a high level, I know that at first glance they will talk about the adorable character, but it wouldn't be so cool if the game's set didn't follow at the same level, I really thought the team's work, the details give a great highlight to the game, I enjoyed seeing him sleeping, I'm grateful to have the honor of playing your game, a big hug to all.
Wow, what can I say. A game like this in a game jam. Amazing, a piece of art!
Great idea! Great job!
Great platformer! 3 sweet, sweet mechanics. I love the cute bat. I want to pet it. Good work! I loved the 3 colors.
This game is nearly perfect. I absolutely adore the art, music, mood, level design... pretty much everything! I am a huge sucker for pixel platformers, and I got some Ori vibes from this. Literally have no criticism, except for the menu screen using enter to confirm rather than the spacebar :P
Superb work everyone!
I feel the loneliness in the game and I love the way which expresses this mood. The sound, and two challenge effects perfectly combined together! Rearlly enjoyed it!
I've literally only played to the point where I ate the first berry, and I'm here to give you an almost perfect review.
The opening cutscene already broke my heart. I would die for this bat. The way they ate the berry, I'm like tearing up. I'm a sucker for red black and white artwork and this is such a good use. And the music in time with the lightning, it's such a nice touch and the chords you chose are lovely. The way the start of the level is set up to show you the mechanic is just GOLD. Well done, it was way better than the start of that one Mario level everyone crows about.
Well done.
This is one of those entries you will remember after the jam. I got it sent to me from a friend and instantly after finishing the game I sent it out to the rest of my team.
I love the intro, you manage to tell a story and make me care about the bat in a masterful way. The art is adorable, the sound is great. Its simply an overall great experience. This is not a game where you crammed in the theme, the use of the theme actually made the game better.
Fantastic entry!
Simple platformer executed to perfection!
Cute game! Pretty well implemented for a jam, balanced gameplay and the adaptive audio is great too!
The artwork is amazing and the audio is really well done! The piano playing with the wind and thunder is a really nice touch that really made it feel quite relaxing even though some of the platforming was quite challenging. Never really got stuck though and before I knew it I had reached the end. Amazing entry, well done!
Incredible game :) The art and audio create a really nice atmosphere, and the idea fits with the theme too :) Great Work!
Cute game!
The visuals were clean and consistent (nit-pick: I enabled pixel-perfect mode but the "squashed" character looked a bit off, not scaled with nearest-neighbour scaling?), it was always clear what was going on and how to continue.
The two different weather events were neat, although maybe some more variation could be added. I was happy to see that the wind was eventually used as a positive/necessary event, not always as something to be avoided. The red clouds for speeding up the next event were a nice way to avoid having to wait the full 10 seconds. On the other hand, I think the game was almost too "perfectly" balanced: there was always plenty of time to get to the next checkpoint or safe area, but trying to be fast or trying to get through two checkpoints in one cycle was almost never possible. Towards the end I wished the game would have been just a tiny bit faster overall :)
The audio was sparse but added to the atmosphere. Playing notes whenever the weather event happened was a nice touch.
Such a sad atmosphere. May this bat be all right! A great little jam game. Everything looks good and in its place.
Thanks for showing this to me on [stream](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1618839154)! Probably one of my favorite games I've played this Jam! I said on stream it was chill and stressful at the same time. I never felt like it was too difficult. Good job!
What a lovely game. I really enjoyed how it's put together, the vibe is easily a 5/5. Nice style, really cute graphics, and the music, sfx and vfx are on point. Congrats on scoping the game well :smile:
I liked having to think for a moment about how to get past some puzzles. I also liked how the game frictionlessly guided me towards what I needed to do. I just wanted there to be more of the world to explore :sparkles: Perhaps the changes in weather hazards (e.g. lightning to wind) could've been accentuated a little bit more, so I don't miss them while timing a jump.

It should be illegal for a game to be this cute.
Absolutely wonderful job with this one, guys. The game managed to avoid all of the usual trappings of a quickly-made 2D platformer, so it was lovely to play on top of being an audio/visual treat. Super solid entry!
This is a well-polished game. The story, graphics, music, controllers, game mechanics, and mood are all great. The berry-eating animation is very cute. I enjoyed the game a lot. Thank you for your hard work.
Oh!
I found your game so sweet! The color palette is beautiful. I know how difficult it is to draw with a limited color palette. The sound design was also great. This silence that from time to time is invaded by a single chord contemplates the player's ear in a unique way. Level design is also challenging and interesting. I found the gameplay to be slow, but I don't know if it's something with my computer. When I turned on VSYNC the game crashed and closed. I'm just warning you.
Congratulations!!!
hsdsg.JPG wonderful game！
Great game, really hard to think of something constructive to improve. Perhaps the platforms could reset their position with the player reset. Add more content! : D
Absolutely amazing game! The best I have played so far in this jam!! This guys deserve the best of luck with this piece of art!! I will gladly pay for a full release of this!!
Fantastic! This was truly an ultra immersive experience. I felt like there was a little to much celeste inspo in this, however since that is a great game, this was a great game too! Love the ambiance! and you came up with some really clever puzzles. Especially when you take the timeframe in mind. This game required skill in both mechanics and puzzle solving, wich was great. I'd defenitely continue working on this, but mabye up the graphics, because it struck that wierd greyzone where the pixels weren't big enough to support a pixelated style, but also not small enough to make the graphics a strong point. So i'd change that. Also, couldnt use WASD, so that was a bit of a bummer :( also, the death screen can mabye be reworked imo? idk. Overall i gave this a 4.5/5! amazing!
This was absolutely amazing! I LOOOVed the audio, and the idea and just about everything. Really good game.
I downloaded the game to my PC and used a paired PS5 controller. Everything worked perfectly. I think this is my favorite game so far of Ludum Dare 51. I feel you deserve many more ratings and I think that could be solved by having a web playable version, because most people skip over the downloads (I know I did initially but now I am downloading some of the games I think I missed). Amazing art. I am jealous of your game - I love it!! I would play a full version of this and also buy merch because it is so cute. I apprecate the BOTW-style audio too :)
I loved the graphics and sound design. One of may favourite games so far regarding this two categories! Great level design too. My only small complaint would be that the movemements feel a bit slow. But apart from this detail it's a great game. Great job!
Great polished game! I kinda had a sneak peek from watching a few other streamers play this game, and it is incredible! The sound effects are polished and the level design is top-notch. It feels like y'all came up with a concept (the wind blowing, for example, every 10 seconds) and then came up with ways to play with it (speeding up the wind's arrival to zig-zag thru spikes). The pixel art was also fantastic, and told the story very well. I put it on in the background while playing and heard my character falling asleep, so that was a nice touch!
My main complaint is that I wish the timer would reset when I get a checkpoint. This only happened once or twice, but I died after reaching a checkpoint because I only had 5 seconds to complete the next part. Also, it's great that y'all have a sound slider, but it'd be nice if there were clicks of some kind to demonstrate the volume as you drag it. Otherwise, I don't know how loud a 10% coming thru my headphones is compared to an 80%.
Other than that, fantastic work!
Wow! This is really good stuff. The colors, the sounds, and the fact that it's just simply good, focused, clean, and fun to play! Introduces mechanics at the right pace, and doesn't break from it's mood for the duration of the game. I just noticed now that all the 10 seconds things are from the thunderstorm which is cool. Really excellent submission!
WOAH! This game hooked me with it's artstyle, but the mechanics were even cooler. The idea that you need to use the wind for your advantage in some cases is really cool. Also love how the music is in sync with the wind of lightning. This could be a full-release game if you add more levels and weather. Overall this was an unexpected surprise and I loved it!
This was a really polished game that I was sort of not expecting, but I guess I should've. IT was interesting to see and there's some cool mechanics here with some mostly clear art and cues as to how to handle it without any need for text tutorials etc. Which was nice and a good change from a lot of jam games there's always a wall of text with images for a tutorial.
There's also definitely some quite fun mechanics throughout that I would be very interested to see used more, the difficulty it does seem at least to me was kept relatively ow which makes sense for a jam always wanna make it at least playable, especially considering the whole "play your own game" problem. Though personally I would be very interested to see some more intricate levels for sure. Hopefully post jam ? Not sure if there's a plan to update.
The different effects were definitely interesting to find though especially abusing them to traverse the levels, though I will say their "ranges" I guess, were a but vague. I had quite a few times that II though that I was out the lightning because it seemed like I was in the "dark" areas". and I was still hit. To be fair it seems like that's not how the lightning works, but it wasn't entirely clear. I would've assumed that if I was in a "dark" area since they generally lined up with where I was safe early on, that it would be a safe area.
Also one bit of QOL or something helpful would be some way to get up ledges you just barely miss. A ledge grab, or the ability to wall jump and get onto them etc. Cause currently there are a decent amount of jumps that you can just barely miss and then have to wait thr3ough the falling (which even sped up is a little slow for that) and respawn to try again.
Which gets a bit repetitive, especially when it seems like you're RIGHT there. Combine that with the fact that the wall jump gives too much horizontal momentum and too little vertical to get back up and it means you're stuck without much to do every time you miss a tiny bit.
To be fair that might be intended and if so that makes sense, but I figured I would mention it nonetheless in case as a bit of an idea. IT would definitely make a few of the failures a little more palatable. Cause there were some damn close jumps in there.
Overall though a very interesting game that has a really nice bit of polish and a cool feel to it, that also has a really hilarious story of a bat that didn't join it's friends, before it raided all the caves for berries.
Thanks for sending the game on stream :smiley:
I loved the atmosphere and art in general. The 10 seconds mechanic felt good and was just enough time for a platforming puzzle. The ending is also super cute :heart_eyes: Congratulations!
This is the best game I've played this Ludum Dare (and I've played more than 50!) ✨
It's beautiful on so many levels!
- The art is perfect, with a lot of polish on all those cute and super clear animations. - The UI works perfectly. - There are a lot of signs and feedback on everything. I love the particle effects announcing an incoming wind and making its direction clear. - The sound design complements all those signs and feedbacks very nicely. The jump sound is crisp enough without becoming annoying (and that's quite rare) - The platforming controls are well executed. - This "something happens every 10 seconds" comes with limits, but you found clever solutions to those. For exemple, the red fogs that pass time fast to wait less before wind jumps is a very elegant design.
5/5 on everything for me, good job and thanks for the game 🍓
Here are two details I think could be improved: - The black areas delimited by dots feel like they should be "Thunder free" zones. Yet one upward corridor in one of the first levels is black but you can get struck by thunder in it. - The "effect changes" like switching from wind to thunder could be feedbacked even stronger. I know there is a sound and an animation, but it's still quite easy to miss when you are playing.
This little bat boi has found a place in my heart! The game is so so cute and both the art and mechanics as well as the level design go together incredibly well. And you even had a perfect interpretation of the 10 second theme, this game is absolutely one of my favourites! :)
Lovely game! Really enjoyed playing it on stream! Art , mechanics , sound are all fantastic. As well as some solid level design. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1625904597 you see the highlights on the stream. Timestamp 0:28 to 0:38!
