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

Developer

Thank you! 😊

Very well done, it is really beautiful, the feeling that passes is very good. I would love to see more of this :)

Awesome job!

Thank you very much! Your entry for the game jam looks pretty cool too! ^_^ (sorry I couldn't test it but I liked the screenshots a lot)

If you want to see more of this style, please feel free to check my other games, they share the same kind of narrative style.

Have a great day and thanks for your time!

Wonderful game! Stay safe, I hope to see you on another game jam one day!

Developer

oooh thank you for the kind words! Take care too and have fun!

Very pretty game. It's simple, but such a polished piece of visual, narrative poetry. 

Developer

Thank you very much,  I'm really happy that you liked it!

Beautiful art, music, and poetry. Not sure of the use of the limitation - but nice little experience.

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you very much for enjoying it! Yeah, I can get it about the limitation, but we were urged to bend it to our needs and I thought about gravity as in "a grave situation" 😅

Love the art, the movement style really fits it. Great music. Good concept. 

Developer

Thanks a lot! :)

Just finished your review live at  https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission It was pretty but not a lot of 'game' to it, but i get the concept.

Although i do not have “enough mind” to fully understand your poetry, you are clearly very talented—the harmony between the visuals and the music, specially given the limitation of bipsi, is outstanding. And i believe it is fitting that you, of all people, went for a different interpretation of gravity than the most obvious physical phenomenon.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback, super appreciated (and I quite enjoyed your submission by the way). I'm quite happy that you've enjoyed the experience. What I like about poetry (and also when watching contemporary dance in a different style) is that's it's quite open to interpretation and that you don't have to overthink it 😊

Hey, super appreciated, thank you! For these quick game jams, I  always focus on art and story (actually way more than gameplay  😅)

i didnt really like it but the art is very good

Developer

Thank you for your honest comment and for taking the time to try it!

I thought your use of the limitation was very clever! 

Excellent music, art, and writing. It really pulled together into a good tone.

Developer

Thank you very much, that's quite appreciated! As the tool I'm using is limited,I need to find creative approaches for these game jams 😅

The writing, art, and music of this game go very well together. Though it's lacking gameplay, I likely prefer the format of this experience more. Amazing work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much! Yeah when I started creating those visual stories, I wasn't sure I could post them on itch.io as there's no gameplay but seeing other creations like this, I thought it should be OK. 😅 I'm really quite happy that you liked it!

Submitted(+1)

where's the gravity?

Developer

Good question! "Gravity" is not taken here as law of physics but in its other meaning   "extreme importance / seriousness" and is developed through the storyline. I thought I could be creative regarding this as the jam page describes the limitation like this: We urge you to get creative with this one- bending the limitation to suit your needs is always an option.
