It was a pretty good game overall. The mechanics were not bad and the sounds were decent.

That was a really good point! I think she ended up being a stealth mode unconsciously.
If you have any suggestions for what she can do in small form, let us know!
Thank you very much for the feedback!! Really appreciated!
You’re right! I agree very much! But you’re right that it’s hard to put hands on it hmmm.
Is it the art? (Like, not atmospheric or just not enough details) UI? (We didn’t have any UI lmfao) Or is it perhaps the controls? Or the game mechanics? Or that it’s lacking something to make it feel special? 🤔 Or is it something else? Would love to let us know/help figure it. It’s really appreciated and rn we’re taking a lot of suggestions and feedbacks since we do want to polish this after the jam and any amount of ideas can help! 🙏
It makes sense! I agree very much with what you’re saying, as I feel it too 🤔 From the start we didn’t think too hard on making it a special game as we were more focussed on getting a good viable product out of it, one that “feels nice”, but it’s obviously that long term that has becomes a big flaw.
As I’m the artist, I can mostly up the art (which can be done if there are no more time constraints), but I don’t feel like that’s enough. Not to mention extreme visual impact is hard to achieve I think.
What would you suggest to up the memorability? 🤔 Or alternatively, apart from games that stood out from their core mechanics, are there any games that made you feel memorable, and why?
Thank you very much for replying btw! It’s honestly so so very much appreciated, you have no idea. 🙏

Thank you very much for the compliments! It really is an honour!! ToT
We also plan on expanding it after the jam if you ever want to check it out :D
I enjoyed playing this! The levels are clean and you did a good job to make sure to never leave the player stuck. I usually do not like puzzle platforrmers, and I felt myself engaged with this. Appriciate the level design that went into this. Almost gave up more than once, but that's a me-issue. I think the checkpoints stopped me from leaving, because I got to just try something new right away.
10min total, not bad at all! Thank you very much for the support!!
I agree on the puzzle parts, often it can be very annoying to be in the middle of a thought of how to solve something only for it to be interrupted because you had to restart the entire thing. So I’m glad the checkpoints ended up being a good thing! And I think we will keep that once we continue working on the game after the jam!
Thank you very much for the feedback and for playing this! :D

Thank you very much!
Yeah it’s been a very popular idea in general, I see many of the literal scale sizing around
