Guys.. I think i found what those guys call a "Hidden Gem" :sob:
I LOVE THIS, this is REALLY underrated.
I cant believe i just randomly stumbled across this, first the thumbnail that caught my attention then the looks in the 1st screenshot
It started SO simple i thought meh, another celeste like or smthin
But then comes the twist
My only problem with the Pool room was that at first it was really hard to distinguish between the background and the walls lol.. Tho i got it in a min, but it still took a bit :P
Also, I liked the skribble controls and checkpoints but the waypointers are where i draw the line (or scribble one? :P) cuz everytime i thought "ohh ohh there is a way here maybe" and i found a waypoint which then points me in the correct direction.. Like it kinda took away the exploration i did till then.
Like 1 second im feeling like exploring then instead of finding something new or an answer i find the lead to the answer.. Like from that point it just asks me to move along the directed path to reach the end.. Ik it sounds like complaining/nitpicking but i genuinely felt that
I got the layout of the whole level 0, but the pools room is a bit more complicated :P
But im pretty sure i found 3 of the ways to the exit and im confused as it said at the start that there are 4 exits but only 1 way to freedom.. But every arrow or path i follow leads me to the same room somehow to exit, so not sure if im missing something..
Anyways, the game and the physics especially feel REALLY polished! (Like jumping and spinning the map or just controlling your fall using the spin was very fun! Like i was playing the dropper in minecraft but instead of just controlling the player im aso controlling the map xD
But now my middle finger hurts for holding right click for so long lmaoo
For the atmosphere, the art already created a really cool liminal kinda scene (tho i liked the style of level 0 more than level 1 but it still was cool) and the music elevated it to the next fukin level
Also, i found the secret exit area on level 0 and found this small visual issue there :P (hope this doesnt spoil it for others)
Also, im confused as to whats that.. office? like background ambience that plays when you get close to those lights
Anyways, great entry you guys, loved it!
