Hey georgia, game's writer and lead game designer here! This comment made my day - really. I pretty much showed it to everybody at work lol

I don't want to take all the credit for it of course (I know you weren't saying that!), this game wouldn't have existed without Nina's amazing art, Matt's mindblowing music, and Siq's otherworldly programming skills. I'm so happy you enjoyed it and took the time to leave a comment, thank you SO much for your lovely words!

I'm definitely going to try your game as well!

Thanks a MILLION for your lovely words Dan! I definitely noticed the issue with the timer not pausing at one point, and we didn't quite manage to adjust it, so in the end it stayed as a "feature" - but I'm aware it results in a lot of people simply skipping through dialogue, 60s are pretty tight! I could have adjusted the timer by 20% or so to make up for it, but hey - learning experience I guess 🫠

Can't wait to check out your game as well!

Thank you friend 🥹 glad you enjoyed it! Yes, I've heard about the dialogue box blocking the way - didn't think it would be an issue honestly! Lesson learned 🥲 can't wait to try out yours!

To think that the roll almost didn't make it in the game! 🤣

Thank you friend! I didn't think about optimising for 4K, we always played it windowed in 4:3 format because we designed it that way 🥲 should have put some constraints in place for sure!!!

Thank you so much for checking it out though, will try out yours as well!

Thank you 😭 the team was honestly incredible, I hope to do another jam with them at some point!

The vines mechanic should have been explained / introduced a bit better, totally agree! Perhaps in a full game there might be a way to bring back Alba temporarily, good point - I felt that here it served the story *not* to have her and lose her forever instead 🥲

thank you thank you! i’m glad you enjoyed it <3

when the timer runs out you lose alba, you don’t die yourself! you have to navigate the world without alba who gives you double jump and glide capabilities. about the getting stuck and frozen all the time; i have no idea what happened there.

Nina's art and Matt's music really added LOADS to the experience! Thanks friend, and noted on the bugs you encountered - interesting about getting stuck, I never found that 🫠 worth looking into if we ever expand the game!

Thank you friend 🥺 it means a lot, and glad the writing resonated with you! Yes, fully aware of the fullscreen AND the timer not freezing mechanic - unfortunately we didn't have time towards the end to make it freeze while reading, but it was on our mind and something that ideally we would have loved to implement :(

Still glad you liked the character designs as well, agree they're lovely and Nina did an amazing job!

thank you thank you! ^^ it was a lot packed into one week, all the art i managed to make just in this week so it was a really fun experience trying to cram as much art in as my hands and brain could muster. I'm glad you liked it, good team makes good stuff

Huge kudos to Nina for that, she did an AWESOME job!!! Thanks for your comment friend 🥹

thank you! hopefully you get to play the whole game, it has a whole story! thanks for giving it a look <3

Thank you friend! I loved working with Nina's art and Matt's music, you're right, they went incredibly hard 😱 you're onto something though in that the theme does become clearer as you go, but I'm sure you'll return to it if you ever get the time! Thanks for your comment 🥹
