loved the game! the art is beautiful, the music is peaceful the animals are adorable although i did get a bit frustrated when i couldn't successfully jump to the point where i needed to be, it adds some complexity good luck with your next projects!
Suych a peaceful platformer, the art and music are so nice! Cute addition onto the theme, and the animals make me smile!
Good and interesting idea. Very nice)
Bro I think the Web version is working since the itch.io page link is broken!! I think you kept still private in the itch.io page
@random-ideation-studios oh whoops, it's fixed now. Thanks for pointing that out!
i played the windows version and it is good game with adventure type of gameplay Could have added more sounds!!! For me, it was bit tough!!! (I am a noob gamer)
Good submission!
Graphics, audio and gameplay was amazing! The game was so smooth (and I was playing the web version!!) and the mechanics was at the perfect difficulty, and at the same time it was chill.
really pretty. would be great to try with a game pad.
This is super cute — the art is wonderful, I get serious cozy vibes! It was fun running and jumping around collecting everything and I thought the puzzle elements were fun. I did get stuck at the bottom left of the map though.
The graphics and audio were fantastic, and the game was very enjoyable to play smoothly. It was peaceful, cute, and fun!
Cool platformer. Loved the artstyle.
Adorable visuals and music. Loved the concept of wall climbing but felt a bit clunky at times. This made reaching certain high platforms needlessly tedious. Good job on the game!
This was really good. The graphics put me off at first glance, but once I started playing, I noticed how interesting the animations looked and after a while, I realised that I really liked the character designs. Somehow though, it doesn't mesh well when put together. I'm not sure why exactly that is but it might be the background art and tile design? They're not too bad but maybe it just doesn't match the characters. The game mechanics were pretty nice and intuitive after I figured them out. I was a bit confused about the whole wallclimbing thing, but once I got used to it, it felt obvious. It's pretty impressive for a game jam game, it really does feel like a complete adventure. Overall, I had a fun time playing and I hope you enjoyed making the the game!
Nice and simple game, great entry! I didn't managed to collect all the items so IDK what happend when you bring all of them to the owl. The jumping mechanism was a little hard for me, especially the tree jumping part. Loved the simplicity and relaxing mood!
(web version) I'm not sure how to solve the puzzle? I inserted all the items and the only thing I can click is Cancel ^^"
edit: (also if this helps, the items don't fill the entire board like in the screenshot)
edit2: the game has nice animations and mood and I can already rate, I'm just curious about the ending
@dominikam33 You're missing the right items to solve the puzzle, so you'll have to explore some more in order to find them. Every puzzle has 2-3 different solutions though. It probably wasn't clear enough, sorry about that!
@kohqctps I'll replay and try to find them, thanks for the hint!
I like this a lot the character design feels bulky though
A very cute entry, the art and music set a cozy tone.
I had some issues at first not being able to clearly tell what trees I could and couldn't pass. The very wide trees blocked me at the bottom, but I could pass through higher up. The narrow trees I could pass, but sometimes you can climb them? That messed with my brain for a moment, but I trial-and-errored my way through.
At one point I picked up an item while I lunged down and fell to the ground, but the little dialog box that informed me of what I'd found was still up and out off frame, keeping my character locked in place until I pressed [E].
There was some awkwardness with pacing/movement agency when I delivered an item and then had to wait a few seconds without being able to move. Similarly when completing the ritual, the little waiting time can't be expedited with a button click, and I felt like that frozen moment wasn't necessary.
Dragging items into place in the ritual was a little awkward because the 'Tetris shape' (I'll just call it that for now) of the item stands out visually more than the item itself, so I kept trying to drag from the 'Tetris shape' rather than the item itself, which didn't work. An outline when hovering over the item might work better there.
When I finished the game I only got the choice to press Q to quit, but I wanted to play again. I was playing on web, and just reload the page, but I'd suggest making it as easy as possible for a player to play more of your game.
That's the only real critical feedback I can think of. The art is cute, plenty of clear animation and character poses to give the game a pleasant vibe, and nice music to set the tone. Jumping/landing sound effects would've been welcome to perhaps add some game feel.
All in all a very nice entry and I enjoyed playing it!
A simple game, pretty charming, though. Mechanics easy to understand and the game gives finished experience. Art is just wonderful :D
A bit short game for me. However, I really like its meditative flow.
Really good art! The wall climbing is a cool idea. But sometimes it's kind of confusing that some trees allow climbing while others don't
Such a charming game! I think the controls were a little bit finnicky with the double jump timings but overall I really enjoyed it and I'm super impressed by it! I really like that you can wall climb or pounce like a cat. I think the ritual part was a tiny bit confusing to me but I like the overall idea. Great job!!
