Creative Vision / Rationale / How Did You Incorporate the Theme
In Carry Me, generosity is the force that restores the world. The player, as a wind guardian, doesn't take, only gives. Through graceful gliding and connecting elemental wind melodies, they bring life back to a faded land. Each generous act revives color, unlocks music, and reveals poetry, making the world more vibrant for others who may come after. Generosity isn’t just a theme, it’s the core mechanic, spirit, and message of the game.

I love the environment and the colors! The music is so relaxing and it makes you feel immersed in this world. I love the shaders as well! 
I would say that the gliding mechanics need some more balancing. I know that it is a hard thing to achieve such mechanics in only 3 weeks so what have you accomplished is very impressive! I had troubled keeping my momentum. I was actually pushing space bar again and again to keep my height. I didn't finish the game because I found it very difficult to target the spheres. It would be better if their colliders were bigger to be more forgiving when you pass close to them. That's my only feedback. 

Overall beautiful art and a beautiful concept. Well done!! :)

You did such a wonderful job with the level design. From the tutorial to it leading to the view of the open field, to the yellow orb area to the islands. The grass shaders all windy, the tree leaves, it was beautiful!

Flying felt great, music was peaceful, and you incorporated the theme well!

I had a ton of fun exploring.

My only nitpick is very minor, when turning while flying some sort of lean in the animation blend tree I think would look good!


Amazing job, this was so fun and reminded me a ton of Sky!

You really nailed the feeling of gliding! Art and audio are also great, although the control feels difficult to get a pickup while I'm gliding. I also wish there are more feedbacks when I get a pickup so I know what is changed in this world. Great work!

The small camera jerk when switching to and from flying is slightly unpleasant, but the general atmosphere and experience is calming and beautifully designed.

Really loved the gliding mechanic in the game. I struggled a bit to initiate gliding from the floor, especially to go over the mountain out of the tutorial zone, but I did find some hack-y way of doing an up-down motion while gliding near the floor to get some good air time. I didn't really know how many orbs to collect or if I had collected them all, but I like the white orbs that spawn to show an already collected orb. Super fun and cool game regardless!

the environment feels so alive...so surreal; the swaying grass, the falling pink leaves- the intent behind the atmosphere and gameplay deeply reminds me  of thatgamecompany's games! navigation while in the air seemed a little difficult though- felt like i couldn't gain enough elevation to unlock the progressions.

strong visuals and sound;  looks like such a solid foundation - i am just filled with awe and wonder!

I immediately put on my headphones seeing the message and just experienced a wonderful time. You guys scoped and executed really well! I'm really carried away. I have goosebumps just remembering the sound and music. 

Two minor things you guys could consider is taking away the "Continue" when a new player first boots up the game (it was weird and also bugged out for me) and some gentle way to boost players up from the ground if they fell. It took me about 10 minutes to figure out some buggy gimmick to jump start my velocity with the trees. 

Great effort for the jam!

Thank you for the feedback, Im really happy to hear that you had a good time. Can you explain how did the game bugged out when you pressed continue, so that I can fix it in post jam version.

Submitted(+1)

The first time, there would be the white orb animation and then the Title Screen reloads again - but I've tested it again and it seems fine! 

But definitely still prefer if the first time I play, there's no Continue option - only the subsequent times.

The sound design is really excellent, flying around was so smooth and simply I played for quite a bit longer than I expected to. Awesome entry, really great work! 

Thanks! I'm glad to hear you liked the sound! <3

This game was lovely, one of my favorites I’ve played so far! Reminds me a lot of my favorite TGC game Flower. I adore the visuals and peaceful atmosphere, and the flight mechanic was very well done! Incredible work!

Developer

Thank you for such inspiring feedback, TGC games had a positive influence on me lately, so and I wanted to create something similiar positive for people to experience, I havent played the Flower yet, but its on my list.

really cool feeling of flight ! exploring the world while managing height and speed felt super nice. What I liked the most was flying between mountains on the outskirts :)

Developer

Thx for the feedback, I was worried that people might not find the outskirts, but you have dispelled my doubts.

Great homage to Flower, beautifully executed. Kudos on achieving all of this on such a short time window.

A very strong entry. My first 5-star rating. Some things to take note of are that the character's walking speed is slow. Even if the main mechanic is flying, the ability to run may be beneficial. Also, once you're at a low elevation, it's difficult to get back up high again.

Developer

thank you for the feedback, I’ll take notes for the post jam version.
