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!
everything fits just quite nicely,👍, 5 stars all the way.
Wha! Too generous haha thanks Cedric :D
Amazing atmosphere here, the art style is dark, sad and simple, pure art
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!!
The art style and color palette are really striking. The animations have a handmade quality to them that helps give this game a ton of personality/atmosphere. The camera freezing mechanic is great and has a lot of potential for level design. Although the platforming (especially some collisions) doesn't feel as polished as the art, I really enjoyed playing this game. Good job!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed! Platforming definitely needed more work, should have prioritized that. Sometimes as a dev you just get used to it after playing so many times haha. Thanks for the comment!
Really like the camera mechanic and art style. Very original and fun to play!
Thank ya!!!
Love the creepy artstyle, super creative use of the two colors!
Been following you since the CCC Game Jam, your games are still as solid!
Thanks jijigri! I remember you from CCC jam, great to still see you game deving!! Ill have to check out your game asap :D

Overall, its a really cool entry and looks really good. I like the concept of freezing obstacles to navigate your way through difficult areas. Congrats on completing and submitting your game!
Thank you very much for playing and the awesome feedback! Glad you liked the mechanic and art style :D
Any thoughts on a better color combination, totally understand what you mean though, the game was definitely more slower paced and not as intense. Three lives would have been a good idea as well, I tried to add lots of checkpoints but I think I struggled to find a good balance there as well. Will keep this in mind next time! Didnt get to finish the hearts implementation, I was going for the collect all achievement! Thanks again for the comment :)
No problem! Good feedback makes us all better. As for color combination, I believe I was thinking a dark blue and a really light blue at the time I wrote my comment. I'm not an artist, but what about these colors: #2a537a and #091235
I liked the camera that stops things, that was unexpected haha
I Reached the end, good game
Also liked the melancholic/ sad mood
haha thanks! Glad you enjoyed
The simplicity of the art is stunning, great mechanics and creative implementation of them. Aside from being a bit short, the game is well done.
Thanks Shurooq!! Sadly scrapped my last level due to time, would have loved to add more areas :D
Wow, can’t rate but… It’s good I like the atmosphere, love the camera mechanics ☝🏽
Yay glad you liked it :)
Loved it! The camera implementation was very interesting. Well done!
Thank you very much!!
btw i seen your streams xoxo
oh cool! Will try to stream more often :3
