Amazing game ! Very polished for 7 days !
The visuals are lovely & the platforming system is very challenging.
You guys did a really great job ! <3
Thank you! There is still a place for way more polish but we tried to do as much as we could!
I think this game is really awesome! I hope someone who is better at jump'n'runs than me can really appreciate it ^^ but keep up the good work! I hope I will be seing more of your work in the future
Thank you!
I tried to balance it as much as i could (its still messy) but finding a good balance in platformers so that everyone can enjoy them to the fullest while also experimenting with the mechanic and level design(with very limited amount of level space) is really hard i discovered! So now it has more steep difficulty spikes, it kind of expects some level of platformer skills unfortunately with few more difficult areas. So im sorry that it can be frustrating for beginners.
Im glad you liked our game though, we gave it our best!
No problem ^^ You still only had one week after all :) and I am really really bad at Jump'n'Runs I will definitely recommend the game to my friends who are fans of this genre because they would have a great time playing it!
This was a really fun game and the art and music is just incredible!
Thank you for the nice comment, we are really glad you liked it!
Great job, awesome art!!!
Thank you ! Our artist really deserves a lot of love!
such a good entry!! difficult but not unfair. the art style is super appealing and cute, and the SFX were nice and gentle. great use of the theme as well, fun mechanics! awesome job overall
Thank you! Your comment makes us really happy!
Love the game idea! The visuals are also stunning. Awesome entry
Thank you for liking it!
I really had fun with this one! I'm surprised i got as far as I did, I would just say that after getting the second block everything becomes a bit too hard to control, maybe a system where one button swaps between the blocks instead of two will work out better? idk.
good job!
Thanks, we are glad you enjoyed it! Actually, we thought of alternatives after we finished it, because yes, it's quite demanding for the brain, which also made it quite hard to balance the difficulty and its scaling while also experimenting with level ideas, having just one button was one of them, but it was too late for changes already!
Unique art style and beautiful soundtrack!
Loved the gameplay mechanic but the controls are quite hard.
Thank you! We might have overworked our artist a little bit :D and I'm glad you liked the soundtrack too, our friend who created it needs more love as he's too self-critical about it!
And yes, it's quite hard but I hope you at least enjoyed the easier parts!
Ahh this game is so beautiful! I love how it looks and how everything harmonizes with each other.
The gameplay is also quite exciting but I honestly suck at games like this so unfortunately, I didn't come far. It's defiantly worth playing and I don't really have any critiques other than I'm not able to get beyond the first level haha.
Keep up this good work guys :D
PS: I would love to know what you think of our game as well.

Thank you so much! I totally suck at it, too! :D It took me almost 2 hours to win (and my teammates are able to finish it in 3 minutes), and I sometimes wanted to give up. But I learned to control it and it really paid off in the end :))
We will definately check out your game!
great stuff, seriously good idea
Thank you!
Very beautiful game, I like the visual style. The music is great. Sometimes it's strange to get stuck in objects by pressing Z. I don't often play platformers, but I enjoyed your game
Thank you for the comment, it is harder for non-platformer players, so sorry if you didn't get too far, as with the stucking in the object, if we had more time we would most likely try to solve this, not that it's bad if you get stuck in the object imo, rather its inconsistency, either get stuck or get pushed out, not randomly one or both, but we didn't have time to implement a specific collision handling!
Beautiful and lovely game, wish the actual jumping and movement was a bit more tight but great nonetheless!
Thanks! Yes, as with everything, having more time, improving the movement, and making it more tight would definitely be on top of the priority list!
Clever and charming game, great art and you managed to make a whole ass metroidvania in 7 days! I even beat the boss at the end, but it was a little long haha
Thanks! Not sure if i would call it metroidvania haha, but it could be close if it was a bit larger on the scale with more, but even this smaller scale wasn't big enough to make the learning curve less steep.
The boss level did not really get any extra iterations to improve on, i agree i would cut at least one segment if there was more time and then readjusted other parts, and see how it goes from there!
Super pretty game, loved the art, music and feel. I think the platforming controller was a bit wonky at times, but overall the game is super fun, to play, great work!
Art is super gorgeous! game is also very well polished!
I wish there's a controller support! using keyboard is definitely add the challenge!
Cute Artstyle. I find the controls a bit awkward because I use both hands but they have to be on top of each other.
The gameplay is definitely fun and not too easy, like other games with a similar concept.
I'm glad you like the art. :))
That's why we suggest using the arrow keys in the main menu! I hope you will try using them, it'll be easier!
The art style is great, it's quite unique.
Sometimes it was hard to tell the hazardous roots/spikes from the environment as the colours were quite similar.
The controls are pretty good except for when turning on one block tiles, I would fall off just by facing the other direction. Cool game!
Really love the art style! Looks very pretty :D
The mechanic with the rocks being not real is clever and fun. Nice job!
Our artist put her soul into the art, glad you like it and enjoyed the mechanic, thank you!
Awesome game! Nice mechanic with the rocks that are not real. Rated :)
Thank you for liking and rating it, actually we 'wasted' the whole day trying to come up with an idea that we'd like to commit(we struggled quite a bit with the theme), so if it was at least a bit interesting for you then it makes us really happy!
The art style reminded me of that old flash game fancy pants! But this isn't as challenging as that, but that's not a problem. Enjoyed it!!
We are glad you enjoyed it! I'd say it is pretty, they are quite big difficulty spikes, and filling them would mean making it way longer or cutting some stuff. If you did not have that many problems then you must be quite skilled with platforming as regular people struggle quite a bit!
I actually didn't know fancy pants but just got scolded by my friends for not knowing haha
