How does your game fit the theme?
Calm Before the Storm made me think of an oracle predicting a terrible future. This game is about that oracle preparing for such an event.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

Interesting game! I quite enjoyed your interpretation of the them. The gravity flip mechanic is really cool too. I also really liked the atmosphere with the music. Well done.
Noticed the instruction box is editable and pressing keys changes it and makes it shift to the right, makes it hard to see it, but once getting the hang of the controls it's pretty fun, nice job on it!
The gravity flip has a lot of potential! Well done!
The gravity flip mechanic is really cool and nicely executed!
I think as others have said the gravity mechanic is cool, but what is even cooler is the concept that you are placing things for others to find. I really feel like there is more to explore there game design wise. While your game was short I think what you had worked and I can see this being the starting point for a really cool longer game experience. Well done!
Thank you. I'll definitely explore this ideas more.
A bit short, but very interesting idea. Wish I could see what the characters would do with the keys. The flip mechanic was really well done and smooth. WELL DONE
Thank you. That's a good idea. I'll make sure to include more results/consequences shown in the future.
I would love to see more levels with increasing puzzle difficulty in the future, there's a lot of potential in the gravity flip mechanic for puzzle design, maybe have obstacles or moving platforms also affected by gravity? Overall, a very unique idea and good Jam submission with an interesting narrative take on the theme but unfortunately it does lack puzzle complexity to make gameplay more interesting, but all in all, well done, I hope you enjoyed the jam as much as I did!
Thank you, I'll definitely work on more puzzle complexity in future versions of it.
I loved the gravity mechanic and the puzzle of finding the right places to hide.
I would love to play a complete version with different levels and ways to communicate with the future!
Thank you!
