the embedding didn't work, stuck on the unity logo, but the web link worked ok. I managed to walk through few rooms, but that's it. Dropped few levels down etc.

The sound effects and music are amazing—I love them!
I liked the simple graphics, it looks cool.
Oh, I love minimalism! And here it's very stylish and atmospheric. There are surprisingly many levels. The boss scared me a bit, I'm already starting to prepare for dodging by rolling :D
You should look into shepard tones! Very cool ambiance!
A super interesting game with a neat atmosphere! It has that little something intriguing that made me finish it with pleasure. Special mention for the audio which is perfect! Very good work!
Awesome atmosphere and sound design. Very satisfying!
Wow, nice experience! It would be fun to have an input to shoot the ball. Overall I love the vibe, great job!
5/5 so cool
Oh my god what a good game!! The art and presentation is amazing! Really cool graphics and animations, and an excellent mood. I was hooked. Definitely could have played way longer. Very nice use of music. Way impressive for compo, well done.
I have mixed feelings about the game, but they are all positive. I didn't understand whether I liked the game or really liked it. What I understood for sure is that it wasn't enough for me. Cool
This was dope. Love the visuals and audio. Would love to see a larger version of this.
Audio is pretty interesting. I was thinking those white balls are actually stars which we see from the Earth sometimes flying in the sky. Great journey!
I'm not quite sure what I just played through, but it sure looked and sounded great :D
This game has a really interesting vibe, I had a great time exploring each level and seeing how each one differs. It was quite fun to figure out the little puzzles and I really enjoyed my playthrough. Great work!
i can see this being turned into some kind of meditation game one could play before bed to calm the nerves. or just to calm nerves in general. pushing stuff off a cliff is always fun! :D
Oh my what an absolutely WONDOROUS game. Enjoyed delving into the depth of the tower and the minimalist writing. It's like my mother always said: it's the journey! Not the destination (which was beautiful (and a bit scary))
The graphics and music are so awesome! They are perfectly conveys the atmosphere of going deeper.
Interesting. I love the audio, the pitch shifting tone as you go down is a great addition. Visually very pretty, would love to see more of this
Hey, this was a pretty incredible experience. I love how the pitch starts to shift a half step each floor, then two half steps, then three, until the very last drop with the minor sixth. And the mix uses such a wide range of pitches, that there's always something new to hear every floor. I also really dig the 1-bit vector art.
Interesting to note that every play-through is a little bit different, since the floors are randomized.
Remarkable! I really enjoy the atmosphere you created!
amazing atmosphere!
The way the pitch changes between floors is great. I really like the unique graphics and overall mood.
I love the atmosphere, fantastic.
Love the Art Style and Minimalist vibe to the game
I looooooooooooooove the atmosphere. Graphics are so great.
Wonderfully trippy, I actually enjoyed this a lot and I would say this is one of my favorite entries so far! I love experimental games like this. Awesome sounds, atmosphere, and graphics work amazingly well together despite being this simple. Well done, absolutely loved this!
Really cool and unsuall concept!
Short and sweet, you really nailed the atmosphere, the mood was first curious and questioning, then spooky and interesting the further down you go. I really liked the end too, very funky. The pitch change between floors adds a lot to make things more spooky. It was nice in this context that it was short, but I would totally play more of this, with more mysteries to uncover! Nice job ^^
Absolutely love how the scene is squirming smoothly. Great audio and atmosphere.
I really like the concept and art.
I like monochrome style implementation. Pleasant! 5 stars
It's the small details and polish that make the game feel really complete. Fantastic work on creating such an immersive atmosphere!
Wow, this was a unique experience! I surely was not expecting to find a game like this :)
It looks mysterious and beautiful!
Wow! This game has incredible mood and ambience! I really liked the sound queue which plays when you progress to the next floor.
Nice and simple game. The mood was surely there :)
ooh nice atmosphere, and I dig the minimalist approach. I honestly don't know what I can suggest to make it better, you nailed what you wanted to deliver perfectly. Well done!Screenshot 2025-04-08 154200.png
I LOVE THE ATMOSPHERE!!!
Very atmospheric and I love the minimalist art, and chasing the little guys around.
I didn't get the place, but it's lovely. Good job!
Wow! It was something! Thank you!
that was really nice. great entry.
Aw cute, the sound design might be my favorite part
Really cool stuff, overall a well imagined and developed product. Really appreciated not just the atmosphere but the overall look/style/experience of everything. Impressive especially given the time!
Very imaginative. I like the vibes. No challenge, no puzzle, just chill. It's nice to play these kinds of games now and then.
Everything about this game just feels good, I definitely found myself wanting to keep playing! love the visuals, love the sounds, love the music and love the game! :)
Art, music and gameplay bring you into a special meditative state, great game!
Surreal experience. Looking forward to seeing more!
Super nice cozy game, great atmosphere! There you go, I made your day. 😜
Incredibly atmospheric, just feels and looks so good to play. Really great work
I really enjoy your game! It's very cozy and the sounds are very chilling. I can see the genesis noir inspiration bro! Congratulations!
5/5. Everything is coherent and serves a brilliant artistic direction.
Interesting experience! I like that it only does what it needs to; it doesn't drag it out. The minimalist visual style is great, and the music adds to the tranquil atmosphere.
The few problems I had were more implementation-based, and are perfectly acceptable for a jam game: - I didn't realize NPCs could have multiple dialogue lines at first, as the only way I could tell to advance text was walking away then moving close to them again, which is very unintuitive. I'd recommend some kind of proper dialogue box, maybe. - It felt weird how many objects did not have collision. - The pushable balls felt a bit off to me, and the fact that they can be seen through the level after being knocked off is a little visually confusing. - The ending screen did not fill my display vertically on my 16:10 laptop.
Thanks a lot for this unique experience ! Aesthetics and music are incredible, also the little puzzles and story telling were really pleasant ! Good Job :)
Lovely atmosphere man, would love to get some tips from you for how you acheived your audio - keep it up :)

It was deep.
Nice work with all those geometrical forms. It is cool how you created from them such a game! Well done!
Great atmosphere. Loved the minimalist graphics. Enjoyed playing :)
Nice graphics, plays well, the music going lower per level is a nice addition and the mood feels right.
Deep, not all understand. I don't understand, but rate high.
Loved it! What an enchanting experience - well done!
Eventually figured out that walking past someone multiple times meant more words. Still, it helps the game does not depend on reading, just exploring. What a cool effect on the tower and ending. Thanks for sharing!
Very interesting! It was fun to solve the little puzzles. I thought the ending was beautiful!
Congratulations
What a... curious experience.
You nailed the atmosphere with the glowing graphics and the sound design, sometimes unsettling, sometimes so ethereal.
Interesting and beautiful interpretation of the theme, I like this style (minimalism). Atmospheric, I really enjoyed playing. I wanted to look at each room and liked the glowing balls that looked like falling stars (beautiful) Good job)
it is pretty, i liked the experience. Nice entry
Very atmospheric experience. I really like audio as it gets deeper the deeper you go.
Definitely a *different* game. The 1-bit color scheme is cute and it's a distinct are style you got here - simple but effective. : ) I enjoyed the vibe. However, it seems I was unclear what to do at level -15 with the big balsy guy.
I really like the atmosphere of the game, especially the tune changes of background music which catch the theme"depths"
That was a super nice time! Lovely artstyle, I love the walking simulator-y gameplay. And I really really liked the trippy audio, great job :)!
WOW! I have no idea what just happened, but I’m absolutely thrilled))))) Didn’t understand a thing, but it’s super interesting and looks and sounds AMAZING!!! Gonna give it another go))))
The atmosphere and graphics are wonderful, especially for a compo game. I love the scenery as well, so creative. Great work!
Love the music and the atmosphere, very experimental experience.
1-bit abstract and geometric style is very well done!
Really liked the vibes. Especially the audio transitions between each level.
Nice - really loved the small story elements in each level, makes the player curious to continue to see more. My favourite was probably the tower of dog creatures 😄
As a lot of people mentioned, the mood is absolutely good in this game. The atmosphere is top notch.
Some more gameplay variety would have been nice.
I like the visual style of the game. The worm at the end was cool. And I especially adore the "ball falling from the tower effect". It looks really cool, when you kick it down from different places. :)
Really mysterious vibe and atmosphere. I could have played this for a lot longer
Gaaaah you know what? I very rarely give 5 stars accross the board, but this really won me over. Just a wonderful little experience with some great storytelling, exudes a ton of charm and just wow... really great. Just what I needed today too. Thank you Screenshot 2025-04-24 135215.png
The vibes are immaculate
Cool idea with the music adapting to the level! I think it could be worth developing more with trickier puzzles using these mechanics
