awesome

Awesome atmosphere! Found it a bit hard to orient and find where I should go after the third level but overall it was very fun.

The "Press LClick to mine" got stuck on my screen so I missed most of the dialogue. The crystal physics were a bit weird too, if you drop them looking down they just dissapear.

Great submission overall!

Pretty fun

Great game, very nice atmosphere! The invisible monsters were especially creepy :ghost:

Very atmospheric. The crystal physics were a bit weird sometimes though

So cooooool!! really loved it, just a bit sad there is no checkpoints haha

@ssiannas Thanks for playing. That's a bugger, I had that bug once when playing then couldn't re-pro it. Unfortunate you ran into it. I sort of wanted a tiny bit of the confusing orientation to add to the horror aspect, but was subtly trying to direct players with the lights, i was concerned it might be an issue, thanks for the feedback.

Big props on atmosphere, the invisible monster really helps sell it.

mood is great, graphics are well-done. very cool that you made this all on your own!

Dang a full 10 minute game?!?!? Took simple concepts and made a really fun experience out of them, nice work!

Great mood, love the movement and game feel. Great use of 3D. I was disappointed there wasn't checkpoints each level though and sometimes I couldn't pick up crystals when it seemed like it should work? Overall awesome job!

Your movement script needs to be shared with the world it is too smooth not too share the love

redscipio 2025-04-08 13:43

A lot of softlock spots bujt really cool game

imnotvegan 2025-04-08 15:46

I am surprised by the amount of content in this game and I think I found a hole in one place that allowed me to get to the end of the level by falling through the ceiling haha

aveezavr 2025-04-08 17:04

There’s a lot of content here — the crystal mechanic is pretty cool, and running from monsters is fun too.

Wow, very complete game for just one person!

I die one time and I had to replay from the start, so knowing there is not checkpoint I was really really scared by the monsters in the final floor. Very moody, well done!

Everything’s great, aside from a couple of things. 1. I really wish there was a clear goal — like how many crystals you need to collect, or at least their total value to pass to the next lvl. 2. Also, the lack of a checkpoint caught me off guard. I died near the very end and had to restart the whole thing — that was a rough surprise.

Also really like level transition

callum-schultz 2025-04-09 16:25

cool concept

magicstunts123 2025-04-09 17:22

10/10 Atmosphere! I liked the view at the earth at the start. But the invisible monster was a highlight...and after i found out it could walk onto the metal-bridge, my heartbeat did the rest xD Really solid game! One thing i woul like to have is some indicator how many crystals someone should take. But just on the baskets, because classic UI would ruin that game in my opinion.

My macbook is screaming for dear life running this in the browser haha. Very graphically impressive. Neat environment to goof around in.

nuin 2025-04-10 07:02

Felt very finished for a jam game, love the space vibes and did feel the pressure when there were 2 of the fast guys, I wish it was more intense in the beginning though

Had a great time playing through on stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2428803190?t=0h37m52s

I enjoyed the lighting and the atmosphere. I really like the design on the enemies with the foot steps and dust clouds. Ton's of content with great environment design!

Great gameplay and cool graphics

3deimos 2025-04-12 17:18

Great achevement. Didnt realize what game is about at first and almost got lost couple of times but invisible monster an grittier and grittier mood is great

tinykidtoo 2025-04-13 07:01

This feels like a complete game, from the sound to the visuals. This is really impressive for a jam game. Excellant work. I love the logs! Great story telling, combined with the footsteps. Kept me on edge!

Great game, and the exploration was really fun!
