Theme interpretation
The game features a day/night cycle system. You start at dawn and once you reach midnight you are brought back to the start of the level. Still, the most interesting and rewarding part of the game, which is your balloon, is hard to reach in a full day. It pushes the player to plan and learn the level to get to the balloon and take off before it's too late to enjoy a long and peaceful flight.
Also, the short "story" of the game is centered around the survival of the space dream after civilization collapse.

How do i r8 your game
If you did not submit a game to the jam you can't rate it. It's to avoid that a popular game maker gets an unfair advantage from social media fans
oh ok yeah i saw someone that was so good they wernt alowwed in a jam or something i think it was a long long time ago
Yes it's probably the youtuber dani
UNPLAYABLE Legit cant get passed the damn farmer hag
Sorry for the bug, it's a jam game after all. You can wait for in-game night time to respawn at the start or play this version https://gotm.io/anicet-nougaret-studio/earths-secrets which has this bug fixed.
I choose not to update on itch.io to stay honest and fair in regard to the jam's rules ;)
so you cant update it cus its a jam game im new to itch.
how do other people update there games
you can, the site doesn't block you, but it's considered cheating and overall a little unfair and rude, even thought this farmer bug is as stupid as 1 line of code
so your disqaulified if you do?
I could indeed
why did you start making games
Just asking and am inspired by you and another creator cus everyone is so nice on itch
Well since childhood I come up with my own creative occupations like drawing and building stuff, so gamedev is very natural for me, it's both the sense of control and wisdom that one has with engineering and the therapeutic benefits that one gets by making art
I believe it's acceptable to update to fix issues like this... see the thread here: https://itch.io/jam/game-off-2020/topic/1090193/can-i-edit-the-game-if-i-submit-...
Yea, I know that but It's against my principles, I prefer to show what I was able to do. Stupid bugs I did because of stress and crunch is not something I'd like to hide from myself because otherwise it would lose stake and I would give up efforts to be careful about them the next time. In real commercial release settings, day 1 bugs can be a pain.
ill see if i can find other ways out and if i do ill tell you
Nice ^^
This game is Awesome !!!
:D
Very nice, I enjoyed the atmosphere and the worldbuilding
Oh wow, where do I start with this... First of all, even from the beginning with the setup for the game it was an experience! I loved every second of this game. Fantastic job guys, art, sound and coding all around 5 stars. Would love to get in touch and talk about our game jam experiences and hear more about your vision for this game honestly, if you're up for it- this game really is epic!
Thanks, I made most of the game alone, and a friend kindly wrote a small script for the balloon mechanic. I'm absolutely open to discussion, we can get in touch via twitter @AniC_dev or discord Anicet#1810
cheers
Wow, almost a completely solo project... That is super impressive! I've sent a discord friend request, I'll be heading to sleep but I'd love to have a chat tomorrow! I'm really excited to hear more about this game, as a creative person myself it really impresses me what you've done, thank you!
Okay nice, if you are already going to sleep our timezones must be quite different. I'm UTC+2.
Beautiful game, took some time to get use to the jumping but once I had got the hang of it it was a very enjoyable game!
Thanks for playing! Happy to know that players get used to it, it was kind of a design headache for me haha
Very nice and cohesive pixel art! Great work, I always enjoy some platforming. We made our game a platformer too! (But also a shooter :P)
The game is really beautiful, the pixel art was fantastic! The music choice fit incredibly well. I unfortunately got stuck talking to the old lady and couldn’t manuever myself out. Sometimes interacting with the layers was a little bit tricky, but I got used to it in the end. The day/night cycle was a cool thing to see in the game!
great work!
that's a really nice entry, I would love to play more time, with more places to explore. the only thing that bothers me is the length of the intro, I would really prefer it if this information was already spread out in the game. other than that, it's incredible. one of my favorites so far
Really well curated and beautiful. I feel the controls a little uncomfortable and hard to use, but all the work on the game is awesome!
The art is great. In the beginning I was a bit confused by the layers, but it was cool later on.
I love the pixel art and the choice of classical music works.
If you like platformers, please try our game.
The art is really beautiful.
Fantastic world building and pixel art! The side-view miniature style is really appealing and works well with the layered platforming. Your choices for the music fit very well.
Glad that you liked it!
Nice style, and good use of public domain music!
Thanks :) I hope I helped some people discover some cool bits of romanticist music!
Great job! The music combined with the scenes worked great together.
Thanks :) Happy that you liked it!
Loved the intro and loading screens! Game play was nice, I enjoy this a lot. Amazing job!
Thanks for your feedback :)
The game had a very calming feeling to it which I enjoyed. I did like trying to traverse the terrain with the layered levels. Pretty cool. I do wish the intro was shorter. I also didn’t read far enough ahead and got caught by the farmer bug unfortunately. The graphics were extremely nice. I didn’t finish it but I did enjoy the story elements to it. Overall nice game. Good work!
Thanks :)
Very cute game! Liked the graphics a lot.
Thanks for playing!
