itch.io

Damn i really enjoyed that one. Played it twice just to get on the leaderboard.

• Use of Theme - 5
  • An exceptional use of the theme imo.
• Gameplay - 5
  • Great job on the mechanics, because however simple they are they were really perfectly implemented, i couldn't find anything wrong with the game. The ai of the bargaining creatures also was really well done, not predictable at all. Overall a really engaging and fun experience.
• Creativity - 5
  • This game is so creative. It's funny how a simple platformer can be so powerful in delivering a message like this one through amazing level design and storytelling. I loved how perfectly each level conveyed the feeling of each gried stage. In denial you pretend everything is normal so its just a normal platformer. In anger i got really angry and frustrated because of the spikes. During the barganing stage you keep running after something that is unnatainable. In the depression stage you feel exhausted and life feels like a maze you will never get out of, often leading you through paths you wouldnt otherwise take. And finally in the acceptance stage you learn how to live with all of these sentiments, because grief is something that stays with you for the rest of your life. Beautiful. My hats off to you. Also this is emotional manipulation ahahah.
• Art - 4
  • The art lends itself very well to the game, i loved the animations, they were very seamless and easy on the eyes. I just wish the UI was prettier ahah.
• Sound - 2
  • The BGM was also good, even if it didnt have the most seamless loop transition. I wish there were some sfx.
