Submitted

love the music. really enjoy the song and running around the scene. it seems that the more orb i got the messier the map will be. it's quite challenging. 

i played serval times but still couldn't find the last one. will it block all the way to the orb?

Developer

Hi Fhy. Thank you for playing our game! You can always collect all the orbs, maze won't block you, so just keep trying. Keep an eye out for arrows too. 
Levels are generated and different on every gameplay so sometimes they can get harder or easier, but are always passable.

Submitted

It really cool game, music and visuals are great!

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Submitted

The music is very good. I liked the gameplay. Nice.

Developer

Thank you for playing! :)

Submitted

I loved audio and sounds. It was little bit tension but I liked the game.

Developer

Thank you for playing and feedback! Our goal was to create more and more tension as you progress through the level.

Submitted

Relatively simple concept, but executed so well!  The music and art sets the tone perfectly,  and the dialogue is a nice touch.  Despite a lack of tutorial, I was able to very quickly understand the goal which was nice.  The only thing I think it's missing is maybe one more game mechanic so the player isn't just wandering around the whole time, because in it's current state the game feels a little luck based to me on whether you can find items in time.  I'm just thinking something to give the player a little more control, but still maintaining the overall core of the game, idk.  All that being said, I'm sure that would have been hard to pull off during the time frame, and this is just the ramblings of some guy on the internet so you can take this with a grain of salt lol.

Developer

Hey, thank you very much for playing and your feedback. 
I feel what you are saying. We also didn't want player just to wander around a maze so we added arrows that show you where the next collectible/shiny is, as a guidance. But not sure in the end if players understand that, and that is up to us. We should have showed that more obviously. But yes I agree with your reasoning.

Really loving the music in this game!! And I think it's amazing that it is composed from scratch!! the scribbles on the floor were really nice as well, I think it adds a lot to the atmosphere!! ^^

Developer

Thank you very much!

Submitted

It is always nice to see procedurally generated stuff. I also agree with SerOT, deciding on an art style and carrying that throughout the whole game as much as possible makes a real difference. Congrats!

Developer

Thank you very much for playing. Yeah, we didn't have enough knowledge in the art, so we had to used finished assets and could not find a character that matches the style...
Always stuff to learn! But I appreciate your comment and you and SerOT are right :)

Submitted

Good job! I really love the atmosphere and the gameplay.

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Submitted

Creepy atmosphere! The gameplay is straightforward, but you uplift it with the atmosphere and narrative. Good stuff!

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Submitted

I love the art. The gameplay felt a bit bland,  just to collect the diamonds. But the whole atmosphere of the game really tied it back to the theme. 

Good job :) 

Developer

Thanks for playing and a fair feedback!

Submitted

I must ask - is the whole level generated procedurally or are just the diamonds placed in new places on each play? Either way, cool concept - it was fun playing it!

Hi, 

thank you for trying out our game. We appreciate it very much! 

Everything is generated procedurally and different. So the whole maze (walls, decorations, diamonds) and arrows are different on each playthrough. 

Submitted

Great job on the procedural generation as well! Awesome detail, but I bet it wasn't as easy to implement!

Submitted

Even with such a straightforward gameplay mechanic, the way that you told a narrative during the whole game was excellent.

One little nitpicky thing would be that some assets didn’t quite match others. For example, your character is pixel art while some of your background/collectibles/enemies have a higher resolution, making them feel out of place.

Overall, I really enjoyed my time with this one. Great job!

Hey, thank you for trying out our game. I was also watching it live on twich. The game was made by two friends and me, one did the music and the other was coding it with me. Thanks for the feedback, I learned a few stuff from it, and also noticed some of my game designs issues, while you were playing it. (like I didn't properly explained to the player what arrows mean, also that world is randomly generated on every playthrough). 

Unfortunately I can't try your game as I am only on Mac OS, but it looks interesting. If you manage to build it for WebGL or Mac OS I would be more than happy to try it.
