Hi! Thanks for the video! In the comments you have improved version, added 2 hours after deadline. Version you've played have some bugs (for example player isn't a ghost...). Anyways I'm happy you checked the controls from our game site :D We should add "Controls" in game menu.

Nice game. But I don't know how this fits with the theme.

Unfortunately can't rate, because it's running unplayable slow on my machine. Intel i5-8400, 16GB RAM, Intel UHD Graphics 630

Developer

We are sorry :<
Your graphic card is not enough to run our game. We used cloth simulation, volumetric fog, and other things which aren't easy to run.
We want to expand and optimize this game in the future.

Yes, sure, I totally understand: you have to focus on very certain things during the jam. Just wanted to provide you some data)

The environment really did set the mystical mood, and the use of light on the player character was a mart choice to help show the player their 3D position. Cool game!

Graphics and Audio were great! My computer's a bit older so it didn't run the best, I'm not going to count that against you in any way. The game looked amazing and from what I could play was really fun.

I was very confused by the 3D plane but only able to use 2D axis of movement, but the presentation of graphics and audio were very nice

Submitted(+2)

The system with different plans is nice and the graphics are really cool.

But I had a bug with the display of the character.

Developer

I loved the design and the general aesthetics of the game.. The gameplay unfortunately confused me..  I couldn't understand where i should go and there were places where nothing was blocking my way but still i couldn't move (even after i figure out the J+L controls).  Btw the light character hovering and not touching the ground made it even more difficult for me. I must say that i'm not a big gamer myself.. i play only occasionally.  After 10mins or so i quit. If you can give a few hints i would love to give it a second try due to the overall aesthetics and feel which i liked a lot.

You can try somewhat fixed version from link in comments. It's perfectly same game, but with few bug fixes ;)

Developer(+1)

Also, controls are described on game page :)

It didn't work. It just took me to about:blank#blocked.
