Yo, this was a vibe. Kinda floaty, kinda weird, but I was into it. My character moved like a dream and a nightmare at the same time 😂 Art and music? Straight-up beautiful. Didn’t always know what I was doing, but I didn’t want to stop. Nice work! 🌌🔥

If you get a chance, check out my two games too and drop a rating—would mean a lot, buddy. Good luck with the jam! 🚀

Developer

Thank you so so much for all your kind words Mavros! 💖 

Definitely will check out your games, I only see one in the comments but I’ll find your second one too.  ⭐️

Thank you for taking time out of your day to give my game love and commenting! I’m so happy you liked it! 🥰💖

The game was pretty welll designed and had a nice gameplay, But the way her body bends scares me

Thank you! I’m sorry my cute lamb scared you haha 💖👻

An absolutely beautiful game! Love the visuals, and the music is very relaxing. The variety in environments is also very nice. Slight issue, the "size" of the game doesn't seem to scale with different screens correctly, so on my laptop i cannot see the ground at all, which makes the game a bit more difficult. But still, great game! :)

Developer

Hey thank you so so much for all the compliments!! 💖💖

And oh no! Really it doesn’t scale? 😱
I made sure all the export setting were correct and to scale with the user’s screen size. Sad to hear that bugged out. 

I’m extremely flattered you made the effort to play even with the bug! 🩷 I’ll definitely make sure to fix it 🙏🏻

Really well done - lovely visuals and relaxing music.
I can’t say I’ve made it very far yet (I’ve only reached the ice biome so far),
but I’ll try to make it to the end :)
And not sure why do we collect stars :D

Developer

Thank you! 🥰 You don’t have to collect the stars, they are there for extra sparkle and in the credits you’ll be told how many stars you’ve collected. Kind of like collecting dreams :) sometimes you catch it, sometimes you don’t - and that’s okay 💖

Loved the visuals and art for this game! One minute I was walking on a rope, the next minute I'm falling through space. While I did have to break my back to achieve this, nonetheless the less I did so. Well done!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing my game and putting in the time and patience of seeing it through! 💖
It is very much appreciated. I'm so glad you loved the visuals and art, it really makes me happy 🥰💖

I'm that kind of stupid guy who goes all the way to the left from the start and falls into the void... -_-

I didn't understand the aim of the game but couldn't resist playing it several times anyway haha

Love the music !

Developer

You’re not stupid!! I completely forgot to put a box collider to the left haha 🙈🩷

The aim of the game is to stay as balanced as possible without falling on your head. She continues to the right until she falls into the water, and as she falls deeper the credits roll 💖

Thank you so much for playing my game and leaving feedback! 🥰

The music really makes it a nice relaxing game. The art style is great!

Developer

Thanks so much bud! For the feedback and taking time out of your day to play my game 💖💖

Pretty nice game! Most of the times the character was in some weird pose but could move ahead! Beautiful graphics and excellent attention to details. And to top it off, music was amazing! 

Hope to see this one completed! All the best! 

Developer

Thank you so much!! 🥰 I’ll definitely fix the bugs and improve the quality physics 💖

Submitted(+1)

Love the character art style. :)

Developer

Thank you! 💖🥰

I really like the art style and the characters in the game—there was attention to lighting and detail, which was great! Also, background music is great! It bring me a sense of calm.

During gameplay, it seemed like I reached an unbalanced state but I still could just keep pressing "D" to move forward, haha. At the end, I saw the credits, so I guess that means I beat the game by accident?

Developer(+1)

Hey Leo thank you so much for playing!! 💖

It’s so cool to see a screenshot from my game 🥰

 The HTML export was a bit buggy in general, it should lift you up after pressing a button for too long. As long as she holds herself with her hands and doesn’t tumble over on her head then the game won’t restart. You indeed beat the game! ✨

I’m really glad you enjoyed the art style and lighting and music. Thank you for the feedback and taking time out of your day to give the game attention and love 🩷

Very cute art and nice music. The gameplay takes a bit of getting used to, but after a couple tries i managed to just glide through it and enjoy the visuals :D (i think it was because the momentum of the lamb doesn't reset when you restart?)

Developer

Thank you so much for the sweet complements, for playing and for the feedback! 💖

It’s supposed to bring you back up when she stays too long on her hands but the rig got buggy in HTML export I think. 😩

Submitted(+1)

The background art looks great, and the music sets a calming atmosphere. Well done on creating the ambience! However, the gameplay was somewhat difficult. I wish I could experience more of the game, but I was not able to get very far. Great job overall though!

Thank you very much for the feedback & playing my game! 💖

The balance has a quirk to it (also sadly a lot more buggy than it should be, due to export bugs I wasn’t aware of until after submitting). 

If you want to give the game another try - here’s a tip: balancing her doesn’t necessarily mean you can keep her standing at all times.

Find the balance between A / D buttons, for example making her ‘fall’ to the left but her hands keep her from tumbling over completely while you continue on your journey right. When she manages to stand up again be careful not to let her tumble on her head and continue the same strategy as before 💖

The cute music and great visuals, cuts through the rage component of the game, making the successive fails, not so frustrating. Once you understand the rhythm of the game, you can glide yourself much quicker, and explore the beautiful landscapes. Congrats on your entry!<

I read that you had some problems with the export and that that affected the stability of the lamb. Sorry that happened, but yeah, export problems are something to be expected, and if you have the time, its better to upload an early build, just to test how it responds when exported. I can see that you putted a lot effort into the game!

Developer

Hey Valentino, thank you so much for playing my game and for the tips & feedback !! 🥰🩷

You’re completely right, I was pretty irresponsible with my time management and I wasn’t aware bugs could happen in an export (this was my first game jam). I definitely learned for the future to be more prepared ahead of time 💖

Submitted(+1)

Instantly loved the visuals, so much variety! Found it a bit tricky to get started, but after finding the right balance, I realised I could just glide through the whole thing. 😎

Maybe could do with a tweak here and there, but overall a really, really impressive game.

Amazing experience, I love it. Great job!

I really have to tell you, that your username suits you perfectly.

I had an exhausting day at work and I opened up the page to see if I had any new comments on the project, and there were a lot - but your comment especially made my entire week. 🥹🥹💖💖💖

Thank you so so much. Can’t wait to get home and try out your game! 💖

Submitted(+1)

Awww no probs! Thanks for saying that 😌

Submitted(+1)

Very cute game! As everyone saying, yeah the game is pretty hard! 

At a moment, I tried to go all left for fun then fell, then tried to go right, but it looks like I couldnt do anything funny then! Congrats!

Developer(+1)

Thank you Nihdao! 💖

The game definitely has an aspect of rage to it haha. A mix of rage and cuteness 🤭

The rig is buggy in the export to HTML which is a shame. In general - she definitely tumbles left and right easily due to the limitations of 2D gravity and mass on IK rig bones - but you should be able to stable her with her hands as you fall to the left for example. It’s a quirk that needs to be figured out in order to master 🤫🩷

Honestly, I found it pretty difficult to control the lamb. I'm not sure if it's due to Unity's physics or the movement limitations, but in most attempts, I barely felt in control (from what I read in the description, it might be due to the export, which is a shame).

That being said, the game is beautiful. The visuals turned out really lovely, and I think the jam theme was well implemented (even though it didn't fully work due to Unity). Wishing you all the best in future projects! ^^

Thank you very much for your sweet comment, for taking the time to play my game and for your support!! 💖

The rig is definitely buggy in the export which is a shame, the balance and control isn’t as you would normally picture it.

I wish you all the best as well and really enjoyed your submission! Thanks again!!
