love the paper style and really creative mechanics! found it really tricky managing the pacing but was satisfying when I got the hang of it
I like the gameplay
Awesome!
It is so hard and so great
i liked the named so i clicked on it and it was a blast the curse mechanic is fun and makes thing before you moves , i was about to quit when i got two curses but tried one more and did it , i really enjoyed it , you can exteend this game further with more curses and levels W game
The paper-based art style was super appealing. My gaming skills aren't quite up to par, so even the first few steps weren't easy. But overall, clean game!
like this papery look and I had a good time playing this game.
Small criticism, I think viewing area is too narrow. It's hard to plan you movement because you can't see more than 1-2 jumps ahead
That was a fun challenge. Nice use of the loop theme - the looping status effects changing how you interact with the environment made for a fresh spin on the platformer genre. Almost turned it into a rhythmn challenge as much as a platform one. And a nice flip at the end, where you need to use one of the effects to your advantage to escape! Really enjoyed it!
Great art style! I really enjoyed playing this one.
Really enjoyed this even though I'm not normally a fan of platformers. Did find it very challenging (mainly a skill issue) to progress very far in the game but the time I did spend on it was very enjoyable!
I struggled a bit but I really like the concept, artwork and music.
Well done, cool little game and definitely worth playing!
Really really really hard but a clever premise that I think fits the theme really uniquely. Loved the music!
This felt much harder than I feel it should have been. It gets a lot easier once you understand the effect timings. I feel a visual cue on when effects would end would help a lot. Otherwise, I loved the art and the paper style. Cool idea and great work!
It was challenging and bit frustrating in the start, but when I got the hang of it I really wanted to make it to the end. It took me some time to get an understading of when the powers where active. I think it had something to do with the timers and looking the same when they were on/off. Maybe a different colors like green/yellow/red.
Great job! It was a bit challenging for me, but I really liked the idea! And the art is amazing!
Great concept, almost works a bit more like a puzzle game than a platformer trying to figure out when you can time your runs!
I really like the art and the cool water mechanic and story! It was pretty dificult tho...
Cool idea, I really like the art! It was quite difficult though!
The paper artstyle is quite nice. The loop of effects is an interesting look into the topic; however, the timings are too tight, and the moment you get more curses that activate asynchronously, it gets quite hard and slightly annoying to do the platforming properly. Nice work, keep it up!
