Great to see this on PC and Mac! :3 
It's always wonderful to see new life breathed into our earliest works!

Hello, I stumbled across this charming and melancholic piece and absolutely fell in love. The art, score, and narrative all come together to create a hauntingly atmospheric and serene environment.

Is there somewhere I can find this music? I'd love to add it to my spotify playlist <3

Great work man! This is ridiculous fun! :D

Hey folks! We're finally releasing to the public an old demo we made for the Indiecade 2018 Showcase for our game Balam!

Balam is a 2D atmospheric action-adventure game inspired by the rich culture of Chiapas, Mexico. You will play as the mysterious Balam (which means “jaguar” in Mayan), as she travels through a marvelous yet merciless jungle, full of wonder and regret. Immerse yourself in challenging but fair gameplay, lush hand-painted worlds, charming NPC interactions and deeply rooted lore. Uncover your place in a jungle on the brink of collapse.

Download and play the game here!

Thanks so much for playing guys, this was a lot of fun to watch!
We've been casually working on this game more since and it's pretty cool to see how far it's come! :D

Why make more levels, before we finish this one! ^_~ We're uploading a new build for this one this New Years Eve!

I'm disappointed I only saw your game after the voting period! I think it's incredibly clever and deserves way more credit than it was shown by the scores! Phenomenal work! I look forward to seeing what you do next! <3

Great work everyone! This was a blast! 
I hope you're all proud of what you made regardless of the score!
I everyone in my team is happy with what we made! <3

Thanks so much! We'll be releasing an updated build in a week or so! 
It addresses the lighting and a bunch of other things! :D

I got stuck trying to beat level 3 and couldn't get back in time to rate it! D: Great work!

Cute game, it was VERY difficult though. I'd love to see better level design but keep to the same mechanics and exploration!

I really love these genre twist games! I thought about trying to make a one tower TD game, but this was really well executed! Full score from me! <3

Outstanding execution on this idea! The controls were a bit floaty, but otherwise, very good! I like how it felt like I could keep my crystals momentum. :D

I wish I had someone else to play this with! Looks really great though! A nice multiplayer approach to the one bullet concept!

Happily! Keep up the great work!

Great game feel and such! I feel we've seen a lot of one-shot style games though! <3 

Really lovely art, sound, and overall feel! <3 Great work on this one!

Fun roguelike! It was challenging but it was fitting for the retro vibes!

Really atmospheric and creepy! Great work on this! I failed, but I think this is a very cool concept in theory!

I like the visuals! Well done, but I've seen a good few 'Only one shot' style games!

I couldn't get it up and running :(

Thanks for all the shares guys! I think I got them all with 45 Minutes to spare! Keep them coming and I'll play all the way up to the end!

I was hoping to see more games like this this jam! Really excellent work and the sprites were on point as well! <3

Great work on this! It's quite clever! 

Very well done! The player feedback was solid and I thought the smiley was a cute touch!
I'd love to see this pushed further! :D

Well I hope you keep working on it! <3

To echo the comments you've already gotten, I think there's some really great opportunities for puzzles here! Fun concept and great work! :D

Difficulty curve is quite sharp, but still a very impressive and well done jam game! I hope you continue to polish this!

Great work! We debated making a game like this! I'm glad to see it pulled off quite well :D Good fun!

Very clever! Great work on this! it was tricky to learn without a tutorial, but I know how jams go! 

Definitely! Yours was very polished! I hope you check our game in the next week or so! We'll release a big update! <3

Well you did a really great job <3

Cool callback and great execution. 
There have been a lot of one inventory slot games though. 
You did execute it very well though!

Phenomenal concept and execution on this one. I really appreciate having a more serious tone to this.

More content! Great work! <3 I didn't know what I was getting into when I first downloaded the game! 

Great concept and level design! I'd love to see you push the game juice on this! :D

This is a clever twist on the one bullet idea! Great work! I really thought you made something fun and arcadey with this! <3

A bit hard to figure out right away, but great work!

A really neat concept in a very concise and well done game! Great work! 
Nice to see a game with some narrative as well!
