The putting together of the assets and map was really good, but there should be more mechanics to the gameplay. It was pretty cool to see the bouncing NPCs.
Cool game! If you were to continue development, I'd suggest adding puzzles to the game! Overall fun entry, good job!
Pretty fun game! I liked being able to explore each section of the map as I unlocked doors. Movement felt pretty smooth and responsive; jumping felt solid too, though I think there could've been more jumping sections instead of just having one, so there's more platforming involved. Either way, really like this entry; great job!
Edit: this definitely gives me vibes of The Witness, so well done on that :)
I like the enviroment, and the NPC jumpping jajsjad.
But i think that is too simple the gameplay.

I really liked the visuals and atmosphere of the forest!
Love the work, really impressive for a 48h jam....loved the visuals
Enjoyed the look and feel, the level composition was good and I did feel the "exploration" factor. Good work!
Interesting game! I didnt like the sound effects though. For the atmosphere maybe add some free relaxing lo fi or something! The game is nice to just chill and fits the theme
I like the sound effects a lot, they really add to the world. btw, after it returns the player to the start, they're then able to open the doors without needing to re-collect the keys.
Thanks for pointing that out! I was mostly waiting for the editor to finish loading/compiling instead of doing playtests. Will fix post-jam.
Nice job! Really enjoyed exploring and finding the keys, and it was very visually appealing. I did a similar story for my submission also!
Cool game! I liked the sound effects and level design :)
I really enjoyed it. The movement felt nice and the level design was good. It felt good to explore. We used lots of the same assets so it was interesting to see what you did with it.
Wow the visuals are amazing! Great game, I enjoyed exploring the map. The tutorial "in world" is really a nice idea. Well done!
Perfect bro <3

Well done! A great match for the theme.
This looked really nice, well done! Loved the scene with all your mates jumping at the end
