I was enthralled the moment I started the game! I had a lot of fun.
Just two observations: playing it for the first time, it wasn't always very obvious where I needed to go (maybe it is intentional, but it was just a little bit disorienting); and I often habitually assumed that the "dirt walls" are solid, while they weren't, often leading me off a platform unintentionally (yet I learned to get used to it; I understand this may be hard to change, as it involves changing the colliders in different parts for the same tile and whatnot).
*spoilers*
Other than that, I really enjoyed playing it. It's very polished and engaging :)The story is very interesting and deep (symbolic of parenthood and disability, in my opinion), I get to speak to pretty birds (??!?), the music and sound effects were very nice to listen to, and the jumping and bouncing mechanics are fun to use. Amazing game jam game!
Thank you for playing and for the thoughtful feedback! In all honesty, I did intentionally make it less linear, hopefully it wasn't too confusing.. and the tilesheet was initially intended to be completely solid like you expected. With more time, I'd have made a tilesheet that more clearly communicated the semi-solid instead of recycling a tilesheet from one of my previous games. As I'm sure you're aware, certain things just lose priority in Game Jams...
The story is definitely about parenthood and disability (not sure if your read the game description but that's legit in there!). Thanks again for the playthrough and kind words!
Thank you for the kind reply! I feel kinda bad now for not having paid more attention to the description, and now the game hits even more deep. I can't even put into words how touched I am by your story. :') Thank you for blessing us with this game and message, and I wish you and your family all the best! ❤️
lol gosh don't feel bad for not reading the description! It's kind of long, so I figured most folks wouldn't read it. I'm really happy you picked up on the story's parallels despite not reading the description! Pretty cool actually. I'm excited to check out your game!
