At first I thought it was going to be a walking simulator but it was very cool that you had to traverse the level in reverse afterwards. Throwing the orb created some cool challenges, I did feel that not having a dedicated grab button made it so I picked it up when I just wanted to climb a ledge.
That was fun
What a simple idea that was turned into a brilliant game, really cool! I genuinely had a lot of fun with it.
Echoes... at last....
A cool idea! The atmosphere is really cool! The controls feel great and I was wondering what was through the next corner! Great stuff!
But man... Tbh I felt it was really hard to make the way back. I could not finish the game. Maybe you could allow the player to climb while carrying the ball? Or a preview where you throw it? More than once I missed my target and it fell all the way down and that made me feel bad :(
Dude, what kind of clunky control scheme is this?
i liked exploring the world! this game feels satisfying
The mood was really nice and having to do the level in reverse was a nice surprise, enjoyed it :)
Whoa, this is really atmospheric! I'd be content to just play a walking simulator with this aesthetic, but the conceit of this game is pretty neat too. I was somewhat confused making my way through the level initially, since it seemed _too_ simple - more complex than a walking simulator, but without the challenge needed to be a proper platformer - so the twist that I had to make it back up through the cave holding the orb wasn't entirely surprising, but it was still fun seeing the map from a new perspective. I was grateful that the ball didn't roll much upon landing, or I probably wouldn't have been able to finish the game. As it is, it's maybe a little _too_ easy? Because of how the level is structured, the most difficult parts are near the bottom, so the game ends on a bit of an anticlimax. Still, I really enjoyed myself with this!
