Challenging game! I included it in my Mini Jam 107 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Developer

Wow, thank you so much, I appreciate it a lot :)

Developer

Hello Shounak,

Simple but amazing. The graphics are just beautiful. As PixelPax said in the comment below, it's a really cool game format, I can see it being easily expanded into a full game.

Unfortunately people don't usually rate games that don't have a web version and as your game is made in Unreal Engine the file size is much larger than normal, that explains why it hasn't received so much attention.

I really enjoyed the experience and I think your game is one of the most beautiful on Jam. Amazing work!

oh, that;’s what I was missing, I will surely try to find a solution to make a web version of my future games, or maybe just try to reduce the file size :)) Thank you so much

Don't worry too much about the file size, it's the default Unreal Engine size haha. Outside of itch.io game jams this is no problem. I look forward to the next games, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the support! I am more than happy to deliver more content, and this time with a better plan :)

I LOVED IT! I'm surprised this isn't getting more attention, I thought it was one of the best.

The character and models are so clean, and flying around is a ton of fun. The world needs more 3d platformers and more 3d pixel art imo, such an awesome game format and hard to pull off, so nice work!

I didn't really understand why I'd ever want to turn gravity up, seems like moon jumping was just a huge advantage  for everything and was all around more fun haha.

There's a lot of polish here, and everything works together and you made it yourself!? Just wow. Fantastic job!

Developer

Hi, Thanks for all the positive reviews! It made my day! and I actually intended to add more platformers and more spikes, which limit the player from spamming the gravity mechanic, but sadly as a beginner, I was already facing a lot of bugs and also didn’t had the time to do it on time :(, but I surely will upload an update later on, also will try to reduce the file size this time. 😅😄

Good music and art. Enjoyed making my character to fly.

Developer

Glad that you enjoyed it :) Any tips or changes to make?

occasionally when I landed on spikes it didn't kill me but when I walked after it did kill me. But besides that keep practicing and good job. 

Developer

seems like a bug, i need to fix that. Thanks for letting me know about it ^^

Developer
