Nice mechanic and great art, very fun to play.
Really creepy art and creature designs! I'd recommend playing around with the platformer mechanics a bit more to get them to feely really nice and responsive. I think the making the jump a bit higher, the gravity a bit lower, and the player and enemy speeds a bit lower would all work together to make the player feel more in control. But overall, this is a nice start, keep at it!
Great art and aesthetics!

I loved the aesthetics! It really set a mood for the game. It got a banging soundtrack as well and ambientation. I wonder what's those creature and what's happening to the character world. As soon as I get into the game I tried to interact with it, but I had to flee away due to... hmmm.... you know... MONSTERS! I think I acidentally stumble upon a mega jump bug that launched me away on the first platform. I wish I had that when I faced the hell tree. I tried so many times to get over it but I couldn't... It was tricky to get over the last platform to jump over without getting caught by a flying skull.
The platformer mechanic seems really difficult, but I'm not a big platformer player: I might just suck. Loved the ennemies designs, the protagonist is also super cute. Kind of an enigmatic vibe to it all, I'd love to see more!
The concept is intriguing and I had fun! My only criticism is that the hitbox for the enemies is a tad too large sometimes.
Interesting game! I definitely have questions about the world presented here, the way one of the enemies seems to be imprisoned at the start and all. The creature design is quite interesting, and I like the use of sound and music.
The platforming does seem a little unforgiving, but I think you've got a cool project here that could be developed further.
The game’s atmosphere and music are cool! I found the character control a little stiff and the enemy collision boxes very punishing. I would also have appreciated being able to jump onto a platform from just below. Once past the second tree, I had no path to follow, so I guess that’s the end of the jam version of the game? Congratulations, the universe and the Lovecraftian aspect have potential, I’d be curious to see more!
Great world building you've done here. Really had me entranced, and the monster art was fantastic. Great job!
Fun concept, very good art.
Liked the Aesthetics, the beginning with the homing bird and following tree monster is a bit challenging.
Interesting concept! Really liked the monster designs. Dealing with them in combination was interesting and challenging!
