LD29 — Beneath the Surface

The character art is wonderful, and there's a surprising amount of depth here for something done in a weekend. The music fits well but the sounds used just seemed a bit off to me, but it did nevertheless work quite well in the game. What really stands out to me is the design work, especially the level design. The tutorial flows very nicely and feels really natural instead of a text dump. The level design after that is also very good, I was never confused as to where to go for too long but at the same time that information wasn't explicitly given to me. This even extends to the very end, where during the part leading up to the final room you tend to naturally discover the mechanic needed to cross the final gap. Knocking back a horde of invincible ghosts also felt really cool, and the timing on their stun is just long enough to be fair while still being panic inducing. Really well done, especially given the time constraints!

Excellent art style and presentation. Took me a few tries to figure out that I should be avoiding people, but I guess I should have gotten that from the name. It feels like there's something hidden that I haven't seen yet, but after a few trips around the city I have yet to find it. With some audio it could swing either way to a pleasant relaxing walk around a city or something more disturbing, good stuff!
