Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words.

You are right, the 'release' speed can be quite punishing! My best tip is to try  tapping the mouse button rather than doing long holds and releases. Lots of small clicks usually work better than big movements to keep him in the "Green" zone, if you seeing the shadow in green most of the time you are doing it right. Hope that helps you get the 'Hi'!

Thank you for the kind words about the music and atmosphere!

To answer your question: The colors represent the boy's internal state. Green represents the 'sweet spot' of courage, while Red means the tension is off-balance (over-thinking).

You see the future images in both versions because he is always imagining it, but the ending changes depending on your input. If you can keep the shadow Green for enough time, you will unlock the another ending. I hope you give it another try! Thanks again for trying my work!

Oh man, this is really fun! I love this type of 'knowledge-based' game where it feels like you're solving a riddle over multiple playthroughs. The scene transitions are super cool, and the controls feel buttery smooth. I'm actually at work right now, but I can't wait to get back to this and finish it later!

Thank you so much for playing and for the compliment! That means a lot.

You are totally right about the mechanics—I was experimenting with minimizing the UI and text to maximize the cinematic atmosphere, but I think I went a little too far and made it confusing! To clarify: once the characters get passed each other, you just need to Hold and Release Left Click to balance the boy's 'courage tension.'

If you are willing to give it another shot to see the Good Ending, you can press 'T' to skip the intro and jump straight to the gameplay. Thanks again for the feedback!

Great feedback, Frank! I’ll do my best to fix that if I make a Part 2 :D

I like the overall poetic atmosphere, and the message you want to bring. That's always my aim "to bring message in your work." , and I think you are doing it good!
Just a little bit more of gameplay and dynamic scene may even make it better! Good job, keep going!

Thank you so much for the kind words! Comments like yours make all the hard work feel completely worth it.

And I really appreciate you pointing out the ESC issue! I didn't test that properly after uploading. I'll get that fixed in the next update. Thanks again!

Thanks for your kind words, I really really appreciate that.

Never encountered this bug on my own machine, I will take a look at it. Thanks a lot for your detailed feedback!

Amazingly fun, very well polished, i like every bit of this game

The concept and the art are both great. The lore  is very cute.

Hitting a big score in a bonus stage give me chill, the game is suprisingly fun, welldone

The concept is great, the characters are cute, and i like the overall megaman-like art style. Hope you can finish the game after the jam, give me a note and I promise will come back to play it again ;D

Amazing graphics! But I stuck in the first map and don't know how to proceed. :(

Cute little shooter, I always like top down shooter like this, thanks for your effort.

Cute pixel art! The game play is quite challenging, feels like an opposite sided pac man

The picture is blurry, hope you can fix them!
I like the feeling of hit, the particles and sound make that enjoying. welldone on that. And I also like the cute little facts.

Rhythm Heaven fan here, happy to see one of my favourite minigame here

Cute story, I like the intro cutscene.

I do actually love the unique mechanics, potential to be a hotseller puzzle game

Being a big monster to destroy is alway my fav type of game, goodjob.

It's challenging but it's fun, took me some time to reach the end but I like the process

Start out slow but I do like the game play and the "pong x rougelike" concept, welldone! 

Found this jam late but are really interested to a new js engine. Start building the first project. If anyone are still working on this lets post some progress! I will share mine too if there is some progress :)

Never thought I will get to play a visual novel in a game jam!
A like the romanse you built through out the dialogs and music. And a like the photo taking part, thats a great way to tell story.
What I only want is to try out the other ending.
Good job guys
Nice sketch btw

Hey everyone! 

Tonight, I’m having a game night with friends, and I’d love to include YOUR games too! Drop a link to your game in the comments, and I’ll play and review as many as I can. Let’s share some fun, weird, and creative jam games together!  

I also made a game for this jam, and I’m really excited about how the mechanics turned out. I’m seriously considering turning this into a full game with an overhaul but keeping the main concept, so I’d also love to hear what you think of mine—what worked, what didn’t, and what you’d want to see in a full version. 

Leave me some constructive comments, and I will do the same for you! Looking forward to your thoughts!

I like the PS1 Lora Croft vibe

The gameplay loop is addictively satisfying

The art style is so cohesive and charming!

Hi please give it a look! Will do to yours as well!

It's sad that you should also upload with the .pck, the game won't open with only the .exe. I am a diehard fan of the Hitman series and would like to try your game after you have re-uploaded it. :)

Nice concept

I love the mystery mood, and it's fun to dig on others phone like a prevent. but I got stuck after log in to the email, what should I do next? I couldn't open the pdf in the email

I love the sci-fi background, well done!

I stuck in the menu can't cllick the play button with the vute cat hand :(

我有Error, Load唔到入game :(

做得好有心 多謝你哋!

做得好出色，畫好靚，玩法有趣，整體我都好Enjoy，個人嚟講我今次最鍾意就係你哋呢個作品

係紅綠燈嗰關玩咗幾次都過唔到，激死lol

Interesting! Me and my wife had a great time solving the puzzle.
