Great vibe!
looks cool!
Love the idea vibes and world design Unfortunately the controls are not very clear Also the mouse is too sensitive
Nice game
Nice game, really liked the music!
Maybe the controls could be a bit more responsive, but overall it was good.
I cant play it- the mouse is 1000x too sensitive.
Can you fix the mouse sensitivity ++ provide custom control of it in a pause menu?
I will come back and try again if you can do that!
The art is awesome, the tutorial text is a little small, it can be adjusted, good game
Really cool idea and a creative take on the theme. Technically, the game feels pretty clunky and is easy to break — but everything else is solid!
Hard to navigate, but I really like the environment and the music! And those flying dragons there are so beautiful!
One note: the mouse is not captured by the window, it can lead to strange behaviors (like at my first run I was drifting up)
Very atmospheric, but... My camera was broken and kept tilting upwards. I got motion sick after 3 minutes and got a really bad headache!
Beautiful and atmospheric world! Big thumbs up for the voice acting too!
wow, what is that big creature? looks like a rayquaza...very cool!!!! the balloon mechanics its a kind original too, very creative
Overall great atmosphere, love the consistent artstyle and voiced intro was a great addition! Got stuck at some point on one of the drafts(?) and got pulled into the void without a clear way how to avoid it. But otherwise a great game.
It was little bit strange? But I like it!
Nice atmospere in the world and mood 5! Rate my game too pls comrade!
First off, I love the concept, and the visual design of your world is so unique and atmospheric! I'm also generally a sucker for collectathons, and this seemed like a cool spin on it.
Unfortunately I found the gameplay a little frustrating. You move really slowly and there's not much to do on the way to to the treasures, other than fend off the dragons which ended up just kind of being nuisances. I also found the balloon really awkward to maneuver, and it took me a solid minute to get close enough to one of the treasures to pick it up. (This was made more annoying by the camera, which kept drifting upwards no matter where I moved my mouse.)
Overall, I think with some tighter controls and more engaging gameplay, this concept could really shine.
Awesome audio and enchanting visuals! The "wind currents" were a nice feature to include. I love how scrunkly the sand bags' design is, they make me wish I had a plushie of one. Though it's a shame the other resource didn't follow suit with an equally cute design to match.
Now, as for what could be improved: traversing the void felt a tad too sluggish for my liking, and taking damage from the dragons wasn't noticeable enough - I went half of my experience without even noticing the health bar go down. A sound cue or some screen shake would have come in handy.
I also ran into an issue which rendered everything invisible after I entered "the depths", despite one of the pointers guiding me towards it. Not sure if it was an intended feature, or if I interpreted the pointer wrong. Perhaps a few more in-game messages or warnings could have helped clarify things.
Regardless, I'm glad I gave Void Plunder a try. It was a cool experience start to finish. Thanks for the game!
Controls gave me some difficulty but the vaporwave/pink art vibe was really cool, loved the (shaders?) effect as wekll - impressive that you managed to pull this all together so quickly, well done!
The art is very nice, it has some great stylisation, colours, and sort of world-building through it. The voice at the beginning is a great setting too. Maybe the getting of the chests could be more satisfying, I just got one and it latched onto the balloon, or did I break something?
