At some parts the camera was bit clunky so you had blindly jump. I like the the art and presentation of the game :) Also cool concept!

Submitted

Very awesome game! I really love the visuals and sound!

At some points of the level it was a bit too dark and I could hardly see where to jump but this could also be my monitor.

For the next update I would love to have some kind of map so I can remember where I wanted explore more :)

Really nice art style and cool idea.

A really cool idea. It plays perfectly and is visually well-executed.

Submitted

ok this is intersting, like the visuals :)

Nice idea that you only can go in one direction at the beginning an learn all other movement from time to time.

So backtrack gaming is a thing. Its a bit difficult but i dunno iam not a platform gamer. On big screens the resolution is a bit small - its a bit unconfortable to play on a big monitor. But generally its good game with a good gaming loop.

Cool game, especially the lighting! Forgetting and remembering the controls is a fun idea

Submitted

This is like celeste but as a game jam game, crazy good!

Submitted

Really cool concept with remembering how to move! Liked the art style and effects.

Nice Interpretation, Good polish

Submitted

A really well polished submission, very impressive. Especially Art and Sound are top notch!

Great game! I hope I'll never forget how to walk left :D

Loved the idea that yor inputs are "kaputt" I actually thought about a simmilar thing first.
The art really suits the game and I love how you implemented lighting.

My only issue (and that's more of a personal thing) is that I wish my character would remember to jump with the space bar :D I have like the hardest time jumping with W.

Good job :)

Love the idea and Artstyle! Amazingly executed aswell!

Submitted

Very cool and unique idea! Good job. The visuals and mood are great but feel like they're at the cost of "readability" of the level at times. Amazing job :)

Awesome idea for handling "kaputtes" player movement! The atmosphere and sound design work really well, and I liked the use of fires as checkpoints. The art style is great and fits nicely, though the text style felt a bit off to me (not something that affects my rating). It's always impressive to see what people can create in just 48 hours—or even less!

Awesome idea—just needs a little polish, and it'll be perfect!

I like the idea of progression via controls, nice one

This is such a deep game! Really don’t want to rate this lower because of game crash (same as commenter below), so I won’t. But I will wait for a fixed version to replay this 100%!

(or try speedrunning it tomorrow, haha)

Anyways, loved the gloomy atmosphere and slever use of light to hide some branching paths!

Oh dear, what browser/system are you running? I've played through the game in multiple browsers and haven't been able to reproduce it crashing :<

And thanks! ^_^

It’s just win 11 laptop (modern one) with Chrome. I must say that crash happened after like 50th death or so, maybe this could help.

The good thing is, the game saves your state after reload, so all good! Completed it twice: with 2 sparks at first, and then with all sparks :)

Platforming was tight in some places, but I enjoyed the game immensely. Good job!

Looks and plays amazing!

Unfortunately the game crashes in my Browser after a while, due to memory overload.

Thank you!

What system/browser do you use? I haven't been able to reproduce the game crashing :<
