BEST PART:

The environment and the theme

GOOD PART:

The jump mechanics and overall smooth movement

The ART

IMPROVABLE PARTS:

The difficulty was a bit high at the begining . it took me a few tries to get to next part.

Some more UI(meter bar/power) also a menu

FURTHER:

This game could be improved much more to turn to and actual game with a story

Fun platformer with a good atmosphere, and I like the interesting twist of using a camera to help navigate.

The design and colors look beautiful together. After I got the camera it was nice to use the while solving the puzzles.

great job! It's really good

There are some minor problems while platforming, especially the character controller: is a little slipper and doesn't respond to well on collisions with other things.

The take-photo-and-freeze is a very elegant idea, congrats!

Very nice! Cool arts and mouse/camera mechanic.

I finished your game and I enjoyed the Art and the choice of the musical atmosphere, the level design is also very good. what could be changed IMO is perhaps the friction on the physics material to avoid having sticky walls, unless it is a choice of gameplay, in any case congratulations!

Another game with great hand-drawn art - love it!

Also like the idea with freezing objects temporarely. First I tried to take a photo of my character and the girl - but then I got it ;-)

Really cool mechanic with the came, I kept using it to stop the spike balls so it made the platfroming easier, very cool game and concept.
The music and the fact that basically the only other sound is the camera adds a lot to the atmosphere.

Nice game with a very interesting concept! The platforming may need some improvement tho but overall it's a nice game!

Amazing atmosphere here, the art style is dark, sad and simple, pure art

Submitted(+1)

Really good atmosphere, a really cool concept, and a very nice artstyle. The platforming did feel a bit off, and the collision was a bit wonky, but other than that I think the game is a very solid submission!

Love the eerie atmosphere, music, and the game mechanics. I did find the platforming to be a little off. But everything else made up for it. Awesome game!

I had a lot of fun with this one, I enjoyed the camera mechanic a lot  (the sound/click was also very satisfying to me)! I really loved the sketch art style and enjoyed the calm/spooky vibes of the music! I was able to make it to the end :D 

Overall awesome work!!
