This is clearly a tops game.  I really hope to see this in the top 100 because I think Mark Brown would really enjoy this one.  Impressive!

Developer

That's sweet of you, thank you so much! :)

27 Loops. Best time: 57.53.

Super clean all around! Literally just feels like a full, actual game. Art and sound design are wonderful, and the progression mostly felt good. I do think that the ability to recall the ball came a little late considering how easy it could be to get it stuck somewhere you can't reach- made the earlygame somewhat frustrating. Super super good game overall though.

Thank you so much! We're glad you enjoyed it ou little game :)
I'm personally happy you like my sound design too, thanks for playing ;)

Most beautiful game about dung that I have ever played!

Developer

I think we might have a winner here. Slightly tweaked controls and a longer music loop and it's ready for primetime.

Developer

Omg thank you so much, that's kind of you! :))
We are already thinking about making this a full game ;)

Submitted(+2)

So far the best game I've played! I should not be this good at a game jam game LOL. The controls were really intuitive and I couldn't believe the shock and awe moment when you learn the last few skills that you could have done the WHOLE time. I really liked the story, it had a beginning middle and end. Art was fantastic, are you sure you're not the artists from Hollow Knight? Overall the game was great and I felt like it was a whole game jam-packed into a short time. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Wow that's so kind of you, thank you so much! :)
We're glad you enjoyed our little game this much, and yeah our artist really nailed this one!

Btw we're making an even bigger knowledge based metroidvania called Soulchain (it's on Steam), I think you'll love it too ;)

Submitted(+1)

I'll add it to the wishlist!

Developer

Thanks! :)

Developer(+1)

EEEE we're so glad you like it! <33

Thank you!! Ori's bash inspired a particular movement tech in this game (IYKYK), so you're right on the money!

Developer(+1)
