Tried the latest version. Unfortunatly I landed in the third person template map, and you also forgot to put your "package content" on shipping since I can see the prints XD Let me know when this will be fixed so I can test your game.
The game is cool! It looks great and is interesting to play, but imho unfortunately the topic is poorly disclosed. After all, great work!
OMG, 3GB for game in LD....
The scene I saw barely resembles what's happening in the screenshots. It's sad you didn't manage to finish the game in time, but from what I can see now in the latest build, it looks pretty cool. So, well done!
It seems to be a great 3d game and good job for such a game in a few days. Unfortunately, I can't download the game from google drive TAT.
I can't download it either. Maybe upload it somewhere else.
How about itch.io?
Google Drive link shows needing to request for permisson and the Dropbox link shows 400. Maybe you can adjust the Google link setting?
Looks amazing! Great visuals and atmosphere)
This game looks absolutely amazing. However my many failed attempts to progress played out much like your gameplay at the top of the page lol Kept dying, couldn't figure out how to progress past my base form, or even find anything other than ether crystals. The tutorial menu in game wasn't much help. After a while, I gave up being so much slower and weaker than 90% of the enemies. Game looks amazing though.
I am impressed by the amount of content you put in this game. The visuals are stunning and the tutorial is maybe the richest I've ever seen in a jam. I kept dying but overall it was fun xD
As a developer that has already used UE in a jam, I'd like to suggest giving a look at how to optimize the packages next time. Big downloads penalized me as well in previous ludum dare-s! But you deserve your game to be played :D
I tried running the game with wine (since I use linux) and I could not because it uses Visual C++. Next time it would be nice if you use another compiler such as clang
Drive link said I need permission, and Dropbox gave a 404. I would highly recommend uploading to an itch.io page instead and just link to that, as it looks better and won't have such errors.
Edit: I tried the other drop box link and it didn't 404, but it's asking me to make an account on drop box to view it lol, don't want to do that. Like I said, just upload to itch.io page instead next time so more people will enjoy your game (or at least use something that doesn't require extra steps to download).
Links are broken or files not awailable
You seem to have put quite the effort into it, great job! I thought that double clicking for attacking was a bit tedious (and hard to understand, felt a bit buggy at first), also our hitbox doesn't feel very generous especially when there are lots of enemies everywhere and we are so limited in our actions Well done !
Graphics are just awesome and it was fun to play. Great job!
I can see your effort in it, it's really cool! I love the graphics and the music, it's a little hard for me, I'm keep dying, but it's still very fun for play! An amazing work
The art style is great, and the mechanics feel streamlined. I was hooked from the first moment — great job!
Cool graphics!
Unfortunatelly it didn`t run on my PortProton :( Снимок экрана от 2025-10-23 19-03-58.png But I watched your trailer instead and could say that your game looks really good, I really like graphics and atmosphere, but it seems to me that it laks of strengh balance between enemies and main character. It seems to me too hard to finish game tasks in game by now. So, hope u will fix everything after jam. Good luck, guys!
I would love to play your game, but the google drive link has restricted access.
there is a problem with google drive when I want to open the game
i'd love to play and rate this, a web version would help. the drive is giving access denied
Looks very ambitious. Great style. (The dropbox link has debug log and gizmos visible)
I can not open the game. However seeing the cover and the video if the game, I have a roughly know of this game. In my opnion it is very absurd to have this kind of game being true,for such kind of game with too many beatiful items. What's more , I like the graph alot. And the atmophere in the game look like relaxing.
Cant get access to files. Screens looks solid.
I love your UI， it’s so unique and visually appealing. The music is great too!
That's a very impressive entry! Solid style, great art direction. Also impressive size, damn :)
An impressive game for a jam entry. I could imagine just trying to coordinate so many people was a challenge. The contrast between the pixelated character sprites and the landscape was a bit jarring though.
It looks interesting and has a sense of potential. However, I haven't quite figured out the collection mechanics yet; I'd like a tutorial at the start.
The game looks great! Good job!
Big team- big game! Looks great, and I hope you keep developing it further. Really impressive work!
