The atmosphere was amazing, the music and the art, Im kinda dumbstruck on that xD. Very very relaxing game. I remember the atmosphere of limbo when I play this.
Only thing which was missing was the gameplay and objective and controls. There could be something like an aim to collect a few things to pass the level and more controls, but thats all upto you. But once it has all that it would be a complete game.
Apart from that I really like it, if there was a windows build it would be nice. I'll play again for the art and atmosphere and relaxation :)
I checked out the meaning of "Duende" : "
a quality of passion and inspiration.
a spirit."
Makes it all the more ominous and intersting :p
Wow this has a beautiful atmosphere! Great Job on that.
The objective and controls of the game were not entirely clear to me but it most definitely captures an amazing atmosphere! The music is also very fitting. Cool concept!
Nice visuals and atmosphere !
Wery atmospheric game! Relaxing music! Meditative game!
I can't really tell if you intended for the game to be a representation of moving on from something, going on living and never looking back, or if its just me looking too deeply again. That said, if that interpretation is true, then I'd say this game is on the level of games like lonliness when it comes to using simple game mechanics to express something deeper.
I got really attached to the other Foxes(?) and kept going back to keep them onscreen, then realized they would just die and I'd feel sad, so I just continued on forward. That experience was quite interesting, and I'd be willing to wager that some people had experiences quite different from mine, with each experience showing elements of each player's character.
Overall, good job, even if all that was unintentional.
No this is definitely an angle I considered while making the game. I'm conflicted because I really want to expand on your comment but I also want other players to form their own interpretations and maybe discuss the game without my influence. Which is also why I didn't write any description. I think if the underlying themes seem almost unintentional I did something right! But if you're really interested in my own thoughts I can write you on discord
Nice. Good to know I'm not going insane (yet). I'll be sure to keep updated on your future projects, since this first game alone was already a really good display of mechanics as narrative. Thanks for giving me a new game that nobody has heard of that I can ramble on for hours on random discord servers.
I wasn't sure what I was trying to accomplish while playing but the ambience was quite nice!
Really cool game, I love how dark and wild everything feels! The music and visuals blend really well together, great job!
Really great atmosphere.
