The story was really enjoyable! The gameplay itself was pretty nice as well although I ran into a couple times the controls locked up. I also really like the choice of color, stands out a lot amongst the blacks and whites. 

I'd appreciate it if you could rate my project as well!

I wasn't expecting this level of emotional depth, nor thematic consistency. It's a great metaphor, and original to me. Loved it. If you spend more time on this, I would clean up the "mixels" in the cutscenes.

Thank you for such a sweet game and 3 great endings. This game could teach some good lessons that could save lives
I remember how painfully is was many years ago back in my student age realize a girl I love just kept my heart - keepin me on a distanse like a queen in a tower. The true love is only when both commit - I learn the lesson pretty fast, hope everybody else does.
Very nice game, screen shake in secret areas are dope - bless you!

This game was extremely fun. Great music, art, and story.

However, I sadly had to dock a single point because one level had three colors on screen at once (#0F2A3F, #081722 and #F6D6BD)

Developer(+1)

i really dont know why that happened… but I guess it May be my Lack of understanding the coding.

Submitted

Very nicely done. The promise of secrets got me jumping/running into random walls to see if anything was there. Need to get the third ending.

Submitted

It's simple platformer, but the story is really deep and Thought-provoking

Excellent entry! I really liked the music and artwork. Given the limited time that was given for this jam I was impressed that you managed to fit a story in as well. I really enjoyed playing this, good work!

Developer

thank you!

This game i really cool, i like the music it reminds me battle for wesnoth for some reason, i like the way of presenting storry. The only maybe bade thing is becouse of absence of coyote jump the later levels are actualy easier thna the early levels.

Developer

thank you very much. This is actually my first time coding so I dont know what coyote jump means but I will look it up later. :) 

Glad you liked the game!

I really like this game but isnt this game have more then 2 color?

Developer

all Sprites habe two colors. I thought that the rules allowed to alter Alpha in Engine?

Submitted

i mean the background. isnt the background another color or am i color blind?

Submitted

but ut still have a good rating from me so np

Developer

ah .. i changed the Alpha. Could be that game maker used black as background. Then it would be 3 colors … ? Its a good question. I did change Alpha of course.
