#Quite soulless game trial

I did run into similar issues to Wyatt and other commenters below with regard to solving puzzles it took me a fair bit of trial and error to ascertain all of the elemental interactions. Overall, the general progression of the game is hugely impressive considering the timespan. As I found myself hitting my head a lot, I think the player's drawn platforms would benefit from being one-sided (jump through from the bottom). The synthy, pastoral music is a pleasant mood-setter, and the variety and quantity of it is astonishing! Though a bit janky on slopes, the controls are stable and intuitive. The backgrounds are lovely, particularly the dark/florescent area-great work on the shaders. I loved watching my chubby witch character skip and hop, and the prospect of finding a new soft, round creature honestly incentivized me to keep exploring the world. Terrific job team! Visually, the game is very compelling. Regardless, I enjoyed the game a lot and it was filled with charm, great work! I tried to backtrack but there didn't seem to be a way to go back once I had reached that final game area. I'm wondering if I encountered a bug since I was able to get there before discovering any fairies aside from the green one (and I learned that there were other fairies by checking out that let's play on the main itch page). Aside from that, like others said, I was confused by the end of the game with the final puzzle with the three elements. I might be wrong, but it seemed like the spawned platform collider was a bit above the line I drew in the scene, which wasn't how I expected it would work.

Wow, first of all, fantastic presentation! The team logo, the title screen, the character animations, the 3D environments, and all the rest of it was really well done! Nice work putting together the game's lovely OST and I found the voice acting snippets to be a fun addition. I thought the drawing mechanic was fun and created some interesting gameplay elements, however, there were some times I expected to land on the platform I drew but fell through it. I hope you guys can make something together in the future and I am excited to see you guys in future game jams! Thank you for a fun playthrough! I didn't realize I was missing one of the orbs and I walked into the ending areas and couldn't get back out I don't think.ĭespite that, I really enjoyed this game. The other thing is that I got stuck in the ending area like I think someone else did in the comments. I just initially thought they might different make different types of platforms or something, but it actually just affects the different types of creatures/monsters in the world. The fairies flying around you as you unlock them is a very nice touch.įor feedback, I found figuring out which each ability could do a little confusing out of the gate, but eventually, I figured it out. I would have never even thought of something like that, so it was just really cool to me. Absolutely love this one! It is very charming! The art, both 2D and 3D, is incredible. I eventually figured it out (I am just a little stupid). Then I got stuck and wanted to figure it out before I left feedback. Commentsįinally, I am giving feedback on this game! It was actually the first game I played because I was very excited about the art style. From animation to voice acting, this was really inspiring! But again, I'm super impressed by the level of thought and work that went into getting the art to this level. Additionally, the mechanic where the fire platforms solidify the blue floaty guys felt unnecessary, as I could always get the height I wanted by infinitely redrawing platforms. I do think it could be clearer at times where you're meant to go - sometimes I felt like I was wandering around aimlessly until I stumbled upon something new. This game was just beautiful, I'm so impressed by the quality and polish of the art. My main issue was knowing when the slime enemies could be stepped on for a timed window or when they needed to be crushed, but a small detail and I was able to solve the puzzles in a good time anyway! Although the drawing mechanic is not new, the use of the debris as the primary mechanic was a neat spin that I enjoyed playing around with. The plant enemy was a clear indicator that I would need a water element that was located somewhere else, but the ghosty enemy that is transparent unless fire is present wasn't as clear to me (although that was a linear discovery so not a huge deal).

I like metroidvanias I think you all designed that aspect quite well. I really like that it changes with each level to fit the mood. The aesthetic is extremely charming and this is complemented by a well put together OST. The art (character and background) and UI are phenomenal and easily industry-level.
