  • Cool mood and ambience. The mechanic of echo location was nice. I'm not sure what was the goal tho, I ate some thingy on the floor at some point, but I mostly turn around in the beginning area. Feels like there's something I didn't understand.

Did you work alone, or as part of a group? (If in a group, list their names)
I worked solo

Cool atmosphere and a fun platformer. I really dig the art style too! Some enemies were a bit unforgiving, especially the fish ones. They would see you off screen and lunge at you before you can properly dodge.

Yeah, I agree, if I had more time I would have added some danger mechanic that shows nearby enemies.

Great atmosphere — I really like how the colors work together, and it really does feel like “seeing” through a locator. The only thing I’d change is dying from a single attack. It’s already hard to navigate, and using vision comes with a pretty big risk. I made it pretty far just wandering blind, but then got stuck near a predator — and got eaten :D

Still, really solid work!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback.

Amazing game! It looks beautiful and I love the sounds. Gameplay is very fun too but its hard to not get lost.

Developer

Thanks! There could have better navigation, but I think that getting lost is kinda inevitable with the darkness and stuff.

This is such a mood ! The work on the sound and visuals really creates a vibes that pulls you into the game, and the game itself is fun !

Lovely work !

Developer

Hello, you were right. Our games are similar. I must say, I really like the art style of this game and the creativity with the creatures. Good luck.

I really like the vibe of this game, the effects and style are really cool and I had fun playing it! I wish I can skip the death sequence to restart faster but great work overall! :D

Really cool game! Someone else already said it, but this game gives me animal well vibes also. Having cutscenes for getting attacked by enemies is not something I was expecting but they work really well for this unique game. I also thought it was cool how sometimes it was good to use your echolocation and sometimes bad, its a great hook.

Thanks for the kind words :)

Wow. That was so cool! The idea of only being able to see a the world for brief moments was a cool mechanic (i actually made a similar game once), and I think that you expanded on it well with the cobweb thing. And as for the vibe... *chef's kiss* It gave a ton of animal well vibes in the best way possible it was so good. The sound design was peak cinema, also giving animal well, and overall the mechanics were just really well developed. All in all, amazing game!

Developer

Thanks :D
