The game feels a bit rough around the edges, but the art style is incredible. A game built entirely around the characters’ art style would be really artistic and stand out from the crowd.
The visuals and sound are on a completely different level compared to the rest of the competition. The mechanics are really fun, and the way everything works, including the reasoning required to solve each level, is never trivial. Considering the whole thing was made in 8.5 hours, it’s honestly insane. Definitely the best game I’ve played in the jam so far.
That said, I spent several minutes figuring out how the scrolling worked because it wasn’t intuitive that you had to hover the mouse over the screen. Also, the platforms can be moved while the character is in mid-air, which sometimes breaks the game design. I’m not sure if that was intentional.
Graphically, it’s a nice looking game with a simple but effective style. The puzzle is interesting, but I found the first level more engaging than the last two, because too much time passes and you have to spend it going back and forth.
I really like your interpretation of the theme, it’s different from the others I’ve seen. However, the game doesn’t seem to work for me. Whenever I press the sword, it always ends up at the same point and doesn’t progress any further. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong.
