The visuals and atmosphere of this game are awesome! It creates a really surreal vibe that's unsettling in a way. I see that this game is also heavily inspired by Karlson, with wall running and sliding. The movement could be a big tighter since it was unneccessarily difficult to make it to the jump pad on level 2. Great job eitherway!

Great game! good job :)

This game has really cool art style, but it's really so difficult! I struggled a long time with the button and the wallrun in the beginning and have to give up...

Btw our team also made a 3d platformer, feel free to check out!

This game deserves more attention! Dope graphics, PS1 era, the movement is smoooooth, very satisfying, the environment is trully dream-like, it fits the theme perfectly, the sound fx are crisp with the slight echo, very nice. This is one of the best games from the jam for me, 10/10 !

Really cool art style.

I love the artstyle and the atmosphere
Even the platforming and levels are fun

But that defnitely gets undermined by the small bugs and stuff
I noticed that if you switch between full screen and embed, the cursor is visible and then even if i full screen, the cursor still exists (just hidden) so as soon as it gets outside the viewport, the camera stops aswell

Its like playing the game with the cursor, so you cannot even do a 360 cam rotation
It does get fixed if you go back a scene, but that means losing all your progress

Other than that, after the 3rd level (the one with 2 wall jumps and 2 jump pads) which btw was really fun and cool to pull off! I got to the place with the portal but walking into it did nothing
Then I walked off the edge and instead of dying i just kept falling

In another attempt, I landed on the button and did a slide over a hole and then idk what happened but I couldnt move well
Like I was stuck in something? I had to restart

Idk if there was anything after that tho :(

But overall, I LVOE the art design you guys went with, the atmosphere really makes the place feel strange
The platforming was also really fun! But it was quite buggy (that is expected in a jam game tho, so dont feel bad about it :))

Anyways, cool game tho, keep it up :D


Btw, i see you mentioned that the game was made by 2 ppl and even credited them, but the game is only submitted by you on the submission page

I think you can just go to the admins page where your teammate was added and just tick the box "list as collaborator" and it should be good
BUT --- (Do ask in the discord before doing it if it is allowed to do rn, just to be safe!!)

Thank you for the constructive feedback, and just checking out the game in general.

 
Not sure if the submission page updated, but I think my teammate should be listed with the game properly now. As for the bugs you mentioned, I also noticed the issue with the button when you slide on it. I kinda just forgot to adjust that before uploading the project, so I'm hoping to re-upload after the jam's done. Also, I'm not that experienced with WebGL, so the cursor and scene change glitches might take a bit to figure out for me.

Awesome game! The style is super good, all the 3d models are perfect. I loved the text, and how it changes depending on your distance, looks hard to make. 

Developer

Yeah, I ended up spending a little too much time setting up the pixelation for the camera, but at least it turned out good.

Really cool art style, it was very fun to play through. I like the sound design too, the clock was very cool. Nice work!

Developer

Thanks! I feel like this is the most I've focused on atmosphere for something, so I'm glad it worked out well.

Submitted

Wow, it's really well made! Looked very polished and the movement felt great!

Thanks for checking out the game, wish I could've added more to it than just 2 levels tho.
