How does the game fit the theme?
Our character Nothing can go wrong, but our other character Everything cannot. But Nothing is need to Everything to be in existence.
That`s why Everything and Nothing should work together restore to balance.

Really creative concept and use of gamejam's theme!
It was a very innovative game! I enjoyed playing it, but why does Everything freezes when Nothing appears while on platform? Is it intended? Also a checkpoint would be nice. I stopped playing after I died on "level 2"
nice mechanics and love the art! maybe add a checkpoint after the first door though, it's really frustrating when you have to repeat everything you already did, only because you didn't know what's coming
This game is good, pretty looking, and very interesting.
I gave it a high rating.
But I had two problems with it that made me hate playing it.
(It might be just me, I didn't get far past the first gate, I'm really sorry.)
Everything has to wait around for a pretty long time because of it's movement limitation,
And when either Everything or Nothing is hurt, the level resets.
The combination of these gave me this experience:
1-Take a 1+ minutes to try and progress, significant part of it is just waiting.
2-Die.
3-Take another boring minute or more of doing the same thing as last time,
hopefully not screwing it up and dying again in the processes.
4-Not remember what I did wrong last time since it's been a while.
5-Die. Go back to step 3.
It's a good game, I swear. I just really dislike how I experienced it.
I'm really sorry if this came off as rude or insulting ,
I just wanted to tell you how I felt playing the game.
Wish you the best.
I like the art style, the movement is a little confusing but definitely adds a unique challenge. Nice job!
Thank you for your comments and feedback :) We are glad you liked it !
Nice game, moving in only one direction is a pretty interesting mechanic. The art style and music are really good.
Thank you :) We're glad you liked it !
Hey
This is really cute game. I liked the art and music, they go together perfectly. I was initially confused by the fact I can go only in one direction but it made sense after a while. Maybe the game needs some way to tell that only one way movement is allowed though, because for WASD input kind of makes it seem like it's a bug.
Good game and feel free to look at my game too!
Thank you for your comments and feedback. We are glad you liked it ! Also, we will add a tutorial level later.
Very nice! ive found some bugs where i could just fly as the black dude

Favorite part was the art. I thought it was made very well overall and had engaging game play.
Thank you :) We're glad you liked it !
Really cool game, the art is really cute. I sort of ran into the spikes right at the beginning a lot cause they were hard to see- but it was fun! I really liked the concept of only being able to move forward and finding ways around it (like with the moving platforms). Really think this could go somewhere!
Thank you for your comments and feedback :) We are glad you liked it ! We will update the game later.
