The visuals are absolutely wonderful and the ambient music is great! Though for a platformer having no shadow makes it hard to gauge where you'll land.
Regardless, very cool game!
Thank you!! Yeah the webGL export doesnt let us put the shadow in the web build - if you download it you should be able to see it along with all the vfx effects!
Great game! Very beautiful art-wise, and good in general. As others already commented, the ledge grab is a problem for people that aren't good at platformers and parkour like myself, but anyways great work!
The art is amazing! I loved it so much! But I had some trouble with the physic and the controls.
But you all did an amazing job! well done
Omg thank you!! Yes keep an eye out on our page! We're going to put a patch up after the jam judging period to fix the jumps and ledges :>
The art for this was fantastic, definitely had a consistent cozy, adventurous vibe. Platforming aspect needs some tweaking, but still impressive overall! Great job!
Thank you so much! We will soon be putting an update to change the ledge grab and bounce shrooms to improve player experience!
Love the character and the tree texture, so painterly! nice vibes
The gameplay is a little clunky. The way the camera turns and how I also get stuck on the edges (and tree) make it frustrating sometimes. Besides that though, I do love the art style :p. I do encourage you to continue working on it though, as it is a shame that such a cute game is brought down by movement.

Ah the getting stuck is typically a ledge grab so if you hold spacebar you can like pop out of those!
beautiful.
found it quite hard to use the bounce shrooms!
Thank you! Stay tuned we will improve the bounce shrooms and re-upload soon!
cute game!
Very very cute, loved the poems <3
Haha thank you I dont write much so was a first attempt :> glad u liked it!
This is such a cool, thoughtful little game! It reminded me a lot of A Short Hike. There's a lot of little polishes and attention to detail that really make this game stand out. I love the dedication to BC's wildlife, and the starting poem was very cute. As others have noted I did have issue with the ledge grab and I had a really hard time getting the bounce shrooms to work right, but otherwise this is a very well polished game, well done! Thanks for submitting!
Thank you so much! A short hike was one of the inspirations - I really like the philosophy behind it! And we will definitely be putting up an updated version with a better ledge grab and bounce mushroom system after the jam is fully over!
Horray! I can't wait to see!
Platforming was a tad janky, but visual style and overall environment was pretty cool
Haha yeah were thinking of putting in a patch for the ledge grab and bounce shrooms! We were really hoping to get vfx in the web build because that make some of the mechanics a lot more visual
This was awesome! I love all the sign posts, they're so cute <3
