This game is put together really well. The controls are easy to use and feel great, and I love how the game tells you the different ways you die -- very fun. Two suggestions: One, if you could notify the player of your objective in the game, it would give what youre doing a bit more of a purpose. Second, wouldn't it be kind of cool if your player fell from too high of a space, you'd die (unless, thats a thing I missed?)

Great game overall tho.

Developer

thanks for the feedback!

for the objectives i really have no idea how to implement that but i will look into it and try to do it.

for the falling thing i also thought of that but i didn't find the best method to implement it and what item it would give, but i might add it later, who knows!

This was such a awesome entry! so far the best use of the Limit and Theme in tandem. The movement controller was quite good, the art was cute and clear, the game made me feel smart at times. Just super awesome all around.

However a few nitpicks.
I would love to see coyote time, when you fall off a platform have a few frames where the player can still input a jump. Its just a huge boost to feel. (If you already have it might be worth increasing the window, the one mountain to the left was sometimes chunky to climb over since I had to climb it like 10 plus times hehe

The second and only other thing is I discovered a soft lock and required a reset

Couldn't find a way to get the power stone when I accidentally dropped it. Had to restart, tbh wasnt a huge deal, the game is short once you know what to do (which is a really good trait)

Other than those two very minor things. My enjoyment was competely unhampered and I enjoyed such a unique take! Amazing work

Hey Thanks for the feedback!


about the coyote time you are right with the game not having it, but since you mention it now, i will add it to the to do list :)


i never noticed this softlock, thanks for that, i will fix it :D

Very cool game! It was reading the name and I thought "wait, this guy has played Reventure, right?", and yeah you did xd

The "death item" mechanic is sooooo cooool, good job ;))

Developer

finally someone who played Reventure! :D

everyone should play Reventure! (well if they want to)

Submitted

it's an amazing game! (I have it 108% completed, but not full yet!)

Submitted

Very good game! The only thing I missed were some sounds, but otherwise good.

Developer

which is coming in the update tommorow!

Submitted

Nice adventure game. Great job!

Submitted

I love the art! The grass moves when you walk by it, the cow is soo cute, and the clouds give it a nice feel. Maybe there should be checkpoints, or a dash or way to move faster tho? (I have no attention span). Also, items get deleted when you pick up a new one before putting the old one down. Nice idea!

Developer

what do you mean the items get deleted?

i just tested it, it drops the item you are holding.

is there something am missing?

Submitted

Whoops I just didn't realize that the axe broke when I hit the rock, my bad. I thought picking up the power stone is what deleted the axe, sorry for the confusion!

Submitted

the gravity is strong enough to kill you innit?

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

What do you mean?

the gravity doesn't kill you :/??

Submitted

Very interesting game! I totally love what you did with the graphics. It's so simple and yet looks so inviting. It was really a joy walking through your world. I also love how cryptic the game is. Solving the puzzles required some creativity :) Definitely add music to this, to round out the atmosphere. Great job!

Developer

special thanks to the game "Reventure" for inspiring me on the art & gameplay directions!

Submitted

Really unique game. Loved the adventure. You were able to captivate death. Animations were nice - the grass moving as you walk on it really immersed me in the art and world.

Fun game!

Developer(+1)

thanks!

Submitted

The art style is nice and simple, I also like the gameplay and mechanics, I am looking forward for the music and sfx update, Good Job!

Developer

thanks!

update is coming very soon!

Submitted

Great game, love the art 

Cool

Developer

wow that was really cool

Submitted

This is one of the best games so far in my opinion! 
Visuals - I like when people can do much with less. It is pretty simple but design and implementation are perfect. I like it! Also I like that you spent some time to make grass moving when you go through it. A little detail but I enjoyed it. 
Concept of the game is great! It's not just "die to go farther" it's like a quest but you gained new items by dying in certain way - It is really smart. And I really wanted to know what next and explore this world to find more ways to die XD

Also yeah. Cow is looking kinda suspicious --.
I will keep an eye on it.

Great game! I really enjoyed playing it!

Developer(+1)

 thanks!

actually the game that heavily inspired me on this project was "Reventure", with somewhat similar style and game play.

i really enjoyed making this game and am definitely gonna expand on it a bit more.

expect an update in the next 2 days with audio and some "special" treatment for the cow ;)

Submitted

Will wait =)

Submitted

Nice game need some work on the art on the background outside but it's good!

Submitted

Fun!

Developer

Fun!

Submitted

I am looking forward to the audio as you mentioned, it will add some spice to the game. Anyway an amazing game mechanic and cute art. Love it!

Developer

the update will be dropping soon!

Submitted

I have to admit, i tried burning and axing down the cow. Anyway, really cool combination of items, I just wish there were checkpoints, and maybe less dead ends? Eventually you learn where you're supposed to go, but having to go back gets annoying in games. Combining items is something i would like to see more of in future updates :) Good job!

Developer(+1)

axing & burning the cow was planned to be added, i just cutted it due to time

although i will be adding it soon with the audio

Submitted

I went all the way back to Terraria. Thanks for that. 

Developer(+1)

if you liked my game i recommend a game called Reventure

it was an inspiration for this game
