Loved it! I love a good adventure rhythm game. It was great how you incorporated it into the actual gameplay rather than making it its own level. I didnt do that and the way you've executed it makes it way more immersive!

Love it. What more is there to say! Glad you could join on stream. What a wonderful game filled with heart and care. Excellent work.

I'm glad THE creator of Coffee Date likes my game haha

My wife has a thing for cute birds, so extra points from her. Such a sweet game with great music to go along with it. I had a bit of a hard time trying to figure out everything to do, but used your cheat notes on discord to reach the end. The open world part was nice, but just need some kind of hints if a  player gets stuck. Amazing entry.

Developer

Thank you! Haha yea my wife likes the cute birds too! I'm glad you liked it, I understand about the figuring out of what to do, it seems to be a common problem (which I sort of anticipated, which is why I put those cheat notes). I tried to have as little words and explicit quests as possible to make it all about the audio, but probably went a bit too far lol

I like the music. It's quite good. And the story feels understandable, even if it's a bit vague at the start.

Developer

thanks, I'm glad it's understandable in the end

Fantastic art style! The pixel filtering is almost too intense sometimes, but it's soooo close to being perfect. I was streaming this, and had to give up on reaching the snake, I could not get that jump working for me - but everything else was a great experience. Hope to see you in Round 3!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Yes I thought I had taken into account people not using sprint when jumping when I tested it, but might have made that block a bit too high still

I agree

That was lovely and cute, very well done.

Developer

thanks a lot :)

Wow. Both of your submissions for this jam are absolutely brilliant! You are obviously very creative and your games show it in every way shape and form. Wonderful job!

Developer

thank you so much for your kind words! That's really nice to hear :)

Felt a little confusing at first, but once I figured it out I honestly just fell in love with this game. I think you nailed it: other entries have a story that's explained out through audio, but yours is abstract, emotional, and open for interpretation and I absolutely love that. The final scene with the crow friend really tugged at my heartstrings.

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked it! :) Yea I was almost tearing up when making the music lol

This was a great game! the style was really nice and kind of reminded me of A short hike, but I could barely  play due to insane lag. I don't know if my computer is just bad but even when I downloaded the downloadable version it was still laggy. But the music was nice and overall it was a nice little game

thank you! That's a real shame about the lag... I am new to making 3D games so not sure I quite know how to make them performant yet
