such a well polished game!(plz check out our game too!)

2022-10-04 13:59

A fantastic platform action game! It's hard to believe that there's no comment:). I will recommend this game to my partners. The Illustration and the graphic effects are very impressive, and the operation is so smooth. The puzzles are a little bit challenging but it's completely acceptable. Beating the game is very cheerful for me!

Cool game! The mechanics are great! And the gameplay was fun!

2022-10-05 15:41

One of the best game, a mix between zelda and and ori works really well ! And I don't talk about the graphics, they are absolutely beatifull. Nice job ! Maybe next Time you could add an option for bind our own Key could be interesting !

galaxybat 2022-10-05 15:43

Good puzzles within the time limit and the game feels fairly complete, great job. Some sound effects on the player abilities and some light music in the tutorial levels would be nice

haotian-chen 2022-10-05 15:54

WOW, just, WOW. well designed mechanics, neat level design, and the art, is simply masterpiece. best game i've played since now.

blk-dg 2022-10-05 15:55

Minor point for me, let's start by that would be that I would have loved to see the fxs be as pixel as the rest, have some form of unity. But that's it, other than that it's a very very solid entry, both on execution and content, congrats !

dahut 2022-10-05 17:41

That is actually a very good game ! Incredibly polished, beautiful and it really feels like a complete game !

My only nitpick would be that the controls are not as simple, making some things tough to do. Other than that, well done !

jusw85 2022-10-05 17:49

It's really polished! The graphics, audio, particle effects are all on point. There's also a good variety of mechanics and features. I beat the game and hope to see more since its "to be continued"

so this has been quite a ride. I couldn't tear myself away from the game. A little difficult to control on the keyboard, but I believe that if it could be controlled with a controller, I would personally enjoy the game all the more. And not to mention the absolutely perfect graphics that took my breath away. And all the game mechanics that the game has? I couldn't help but be amazed. Perfect game.

jamersjam 2022-10-05 18:30

one of, if not the best, games i have played this jam. an absolutely stellar concept with debate-ably the best visuals in the entire jam wrapped up with stellar gameplay. genuinely no issues with the entire game, and i love it! and considering it is to be continued... im going to love how this game turns out!

phoenixofforce 2022-10-06 11:55

Completely my type of game. Would love to see it become a full game. 10/10 would buy. Well done :)

justking144 2022-10-06 14:42

Amazing game. Seemed pretty simple at first, but I loved how you slowly oddly in more and more elements of gameplay, especially the blocks affected by stasis.

locke8 2022-10-08 17:03

Extremely well made game, quite innovating from a mechanical standpoint, the biggest "issue" with it is that it doesn't have more levels to take its concepts further and escalate the difficulty. the graphics are good to look at and the music is nice, the character feels good to control and the levels are fairly interesting. well done!

2022-10-08 17:18

overall great game

gamedevtraum 2022-10-08 18:08

Astonishing graphics, particles effects, intense music, several mechanics being seamlessly introduced. The controls were a little hard, because I was moving with WASD, then switched to the arrows and it was easy then. Overall excellent work, I hope you get a top rank :smile:

caeonosphere 2022-10-09 04:09

Wow, looks great! Impressive style for one person in 72 hours, looking at your other stuff I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Liked the BotW-inspired physics portions too, seems like there's a lot that could be done with that mechanic in 2D, mixing puzzles with action.

fenrei 2022-10-09 05:05

the most polished game ive seen in the jam so far. excellently executed concept. good stuff

mrbamboo 2022-10-09 14:25

So innovative, loved the way you design the game. Great job on the graphics. I think you're the game I voted the highier until now !

ryan-dotsikas 2022-10-09 14:29

Holy crap! You made this all by yourself in 72 hours?! Damn this is so impressive! For sure the most polished and fun game I've played so far this jam I think. The art was stellar, the music paired well with it and man was the gameplay so solid. To be honest I didn't really realize the 10s mechanic until the last level as it was never really relevant until then. But I can't complain because you thought of so many cool things using that stasis on hazards and on enemies and blocks to push them, etc. So brilliant. Amazing job!

figadei 2022-10-09 14:33

WOW! this game is so polished and so pretty it's hard to belive it was made in such a small amount of time. I am at a loss for words I can't even think of anything to say aside of WOW

akacmd 2022-10-09 14:41

It's hard to imagine a Gamejam game, it's great! Hope to perfect and then on steam

akacmd 2022-10-09 14:41

Very cool mechanics and art

a333 2022-10-09 14:43

Jeesus how did you manage to cram up so many mechanics in such a short time and polish everything? Awesome job, 5/5. Everything was intuitive, gameplay's tight and juicy, I've got a lot of fun.

Also kind of interested what did you use for VFX, just plain old particle systems / shaders?

eptwalabha 2022-10-09 14:43

Very nice entry. I'm very impressed with the level of polished you put in your game. I'm also grateful you allow us to play with a controller (I suck at this kind of game with the keyboard). Good game, good job.

paul-giovannini 2022-10-10 10:16

This game is amazing!! Each mechanic is fantastic and really intuitive, what a brilliant job and I didn't talk about the vfx! One of the best game I played so far during this jam! Huge gg!

sibi 2022-10-10 19:33

Wow what a brilliant game. Super polished and even though I'm horrible at these types of games it kept me moitivated to try just one more time. And in the end I managed to beat it :)

flying-dog-fish 2022-10-10 19:51

Vow. The cat wizard is so cute and the rest of the game looks gorgeous and so polished and has so many levels it's hard to believe.

lonagi 2022-10-11 12:50

woww perfect work . Game looks very good !

bamberga 2022-10-12 02:07

insane level of polish, amazing work

ninjacreeper47 2022-10-12 06:57

Sweet game! Just all around awesome I adore the absolutely extra visual effects on the level portals. It's so rad All the graphics work in this game is super impressive. Love it

I love how the tutorial was spaced out in this game. Shoutout to game designers who actually think of the player experience of learning a game, even more impressive to do this during a game jam.

The breath of the wild stasis mechanic is cool. Who doesn't love going brrrrrr. Pretty neat to make it work off a timer in an area instead of an object itself. leads to some interesting gameplay. I enjoyed realizing that you could create another statsis bubble somewhere else to launch something faster, which is intuitively encouraged by the timer and enemy system of the game.

ominusgalaxy44 2022-10-12 17:16

awesome game, polished, great visuals

this game was really good :)

2022-10-12 17:25

As someone who enjoys playing high-paced platforms like Super Meat Boy and the like, I had a lot of fun with this! It looks fantastic and moves great. Good inclusion of the theme and I liked that there was a mechanic to refill your timer so you could build longer stages without having to finish them all in exactly 10 seconds. Great onboarding with the way that you introduce the mechanics and abilities and it was fun when you got to the point where you could combine powers.

Would definitely have kept playing if more content were available. It might be cool to zoom out a little (at least when playing in full screen) as I would have appreciated a bit more visibility of the level all around. The original controls were a bit fiddly, but once I found the alternative controls I was more at home. Great entry - would totally play more and explore more powers!

sailors 2022-10-13 21:20

Amazing game! Your game is one of my favourites <3 Designs are great, witch cat is so adorable! I like how you guys put 10 seconds theme to it. Also, the audio was on point! Very good!

pascal-fitzner 2022-10-13 21:20

Art style is amazing.

falk-hoeppner 2022-10-13 22:37

Wonderful game! The art, the music, the gameplay, the puzzles: it all comes together in such a polished package. The tutorial was very clear and well executed. The controls take a bit to get used to, but once you get the hang of it this is an absolutely impressive entry. :clap:

2022-10-14 13:55

Really well polished platformer that felt really nice to play. The art design was nice and thought it was a solid game overall probably the best platformer I have played in this jam.

belonzik 2022-10-14 19:45

So happy to play a platformer with tight controls in this jam. Really fun mechanics, not having to aim your shots works nicely and makes focusing on platforming easier. Nice polished art and visuals too. Good game overall!

j4cko16 2022-10-16 16:50

By far the best game i've played in this jam so far! Everything thing about it is super fun, it's hard to believe this was made in just 3 days!

2022-10-16 19:15

Excellent graphics and music. Brilliant game, one of the best gameplays in the contest.

weefairyfabi 2022-10-17 15:43

Absolutely adorable and such a good fit for the theme, I have nothing to complain about but my own lack of "platforming" skill haha. Amazing game!

2022-10-19 04:05

Fantastic art and animation. Super polished stuff. I found the control scheme to be very difficult and I couldn't get past the falling block that you have to freeze twice so you can jump on it after going under it. It could be that there just such a small window of time to get it right that I was struggling or that freeze was the C key. C key makes it impossible to use WASD and my arrow keys are really tiny so I was having a hard time. I think a good alternate control scheme would be J key for freeze. Bug 1: The music sometimes wouldn't play after I died. It would be just dead silence until I reached the orb and it made noise. Bug 2: I died enough times on that freeze twice block that eventually on respawn my character wouldn't move but I could still freeze. And then after that respawn the character itself was missing. Still really enjoyed playing and wish I could have gotten farther. Great job!

yword 2022-10-19 07:22

Hi @paul-avallone, sorry about the controls and bugs, I will try to fix them in next updates... And about the falling block level, maybe you can delay activate the stasis after passing the block, then you will have more time to jump over it.

paveldlouhy 2022-10-19 16:10

I have no words. This is AWESOME! This is PERFECT! I'm stuck in the falling block level (need to practice controls because I'm not able to run and jump through it quick enough...) but I will keep trying (I'm eager to see and play more levels)! :smiley:

2022-10-20 03:43

That was sooooo cool!! I really enjoyed that and I hope that you guys are looking to expand on this project!! :D

niterich 2022-10-20 15:55

This is the best game I've played so far at this jam! Everything is so well done and meshes together so well! I especially like how cute the protagonist is

2022-10-20 20:10

I think this is the vest game I've play on this jam. Nice music and graphics. But i want espacially describe levels that create situations for each mechanics and combinations between them. These mechanics easy to understand (because of good tutorial) and interesting to combine. Really good work

roroto-sic 2022-10-22 16:37

controls are a bit weird but when we manage to get them , the game became really fun !
