Wow! Very cool game! I was very sucked in.
I love how the game plays with your expectations a bit, and develops a sense of mystery and distrust.
A great feat for your first time programming a game jam game!

Very atmospheric, I really enjoyed it. I also like how one of the endings has a bullet hell.
I do have one question though: What did the white cats ever do to the player???

Tower Game 6when I pressed Z to replay after i got the descend ending, it took me to one of the final corridors approaching the final boss and the avatar sprite kind of dashed left and was flickering like a ghost. sorry i didnt capture video or anything but i had to refresh the browser page. it never reproduced
Very cool art, the cats look very cute!
Ill be honest, in the first floor I did not understand what you meant by the "C" until I used the "C" key. Because before I think the screen only mentions the keys to move and the space/z keys to interact. And also because the "C" kept running away from me! haha
Also the music is very relaxing, really nice.
All in all, really enjoyed it! :)

The One TowerHello! Sorry for the confusion. I think the main issue there comes from the fact that the player isn't supposed to anticipate needing an extra key for a new ability--it's part of our approach to the game overall, it's almost like a surprise when you need to use the C key. That said, clarity of use for the player is a great quality to firm up on, so thank you for the feedback!
oh its very cool, I love it. Music is so great and is helping the ambience! Very nice and innovative storytelling - I would love to see this expanded :D
Art is fitting and gameplay is solid as well! A very nice submission with nice story!

The Tower of HeartsI liked the narrative element a lot, the music and sfx did a great job of setting a forboding ambience. Good visual style and the mechanics had potential though I'd have liked to have seen more challenge in using them to solve puzzles or aid combat. Really nice submission, good job!

Radio Tower OneThank you for the feedback! I’m glad the narrative and audio aspect of the game shone through, because that’s what my teammate (narrative designer) and I (musician) were heavily focused on!
I agree with the gameplay being lacking in this, it was my first game so there’s a lot I can improve in that area for future games!
Lovely music and a great game for introspection, thanks for making this!
