Wow silksong looks incredible
Jokes aside, great little game! Goat is adorable, visuals overall are really pleasant, puzzles are fun, movement feels polished, design is solid - incredible amount of work and dedication!
Haha yeah - it was unintentional, we realised about halfway through that it was starting to look a little like Hollow Knight!
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Visuals are great, gameplay was smooth, a little tedious at times running back but overall a fun experience, would love to see more
Thank you! Yep, we definitely have a couple of sore points to iron out haha.
Cute and fun! The controls were smooth and everything felt pretty satisfying. I unfortunately went the top path first which led to some wonky check points and lots of back tracking but I enjoyed it anyways.
Thank you! Yeah we play tested a bit and found some people would go up instead of left, but our main priority was making sure there was enough life to do everything no matter the route you took. We'll definitely need to iron out some of those backtracking issues, and maybe help guide the player in certain directions!
Great game, the lighting looks really good, the goat is cute, and the puzzles are fun. Would love to see more.
Small nitpick, at the beginning I accidentally hit a bush and didn't realize you need to go back to the gravestone to reset, some sort of visual indicator such as a small blue pathway would have prevented this.
That's a good idea, we could do some pathfinding with a blue ghostly trail of sparkles or something to follow! I think our thought with the ghost is that you should always try to use the action the ghost gives you somehow, otherwise you lose a life for nothing. But this is something we can discuss moving forward, we have many ideas.
Thank you for playing!
this was really cute and fun!
Finally a platformer I wasn't terrible at, and I love the puzzles
super cute goat!
GG
also, yep! you were my 150th game rating!
Thank you! Two of our developers are also not great at platformers, so for some reason we decided to make one haha. I think it's helped us overall though :D
Really great game!! It is absolutely beautiful! The graphics and vibe gave me major hollow knight vibes but with a more whimsical mood. Amazing work! My only gripe was that for some reason the `R` key wouldn't restart the level for me? So when I would get soft locked I had to completely re-boot the game. :( Overall though, amazing work!! :D
I'm sorry you had that experience! The R key should take you back to the checkpoint if you get stuck in a collision (one of our only bugs we haven't figured out yet), it's not supposed to be a restart mechanic unfortunately! Thank you for the kind words about everything else!
I gotcha! Yeah, it just didnt do anything for me unfortunately (didnt take me back to spawn point either). :( but still, great job!! Really fantastic game!!
This game was an absolutely blast. From the music, to the art, to the gameplay. All of it was perfect. I look forward to the next.
Aw, thank you! We really appreciate it!
This was really amazing! I love the art and I love the overall gameplay, the little goat you played as was really cute and puzzles were pretty leveled when it comes to their difficulty, the game actually had a fail mechanic that you dont get specifically notified about, until you realised it yourself, but the game was short, so this mechanic did not make the player (or atleast me) angry or frustrated, it was just a perfect combination. Overall, the visuals speak for themselves, amazing job!
Thank you! Was super fun to watch you play on stream, I'm glad you enjoyed - thank you for the rating!
Nice work, I can see some Hollow Knight influence, excellent job!! Rated it!
It would mean a lot if you could rate my game too! https://fernando-ferreira.itch.io/death
Thank you very much!
Amazing art style, great music and a very unique way to incorporate the theme! Loved it :D
Thank you very much!
I absolutely adore this platformer as a whole. Cute aesthetics, fun puzzles alongside the clever implementation of mechanics. It's cozy, it's cute, it's addicting and honestly this is one I would love to see as a full game. 💙
Thanks, we really appreciate the feedback, it means a lot :)
What a beautiful and clever little game, congrats! I love seeing gems like this — it’s one of the best I’ve played here so far. Congrats again!
If you have a moment, I’d love if you could check out mine too! Play it here: https://kaijota.itch.io/graverun
Watch the gameplay on YouTube:
Thanks! There are things we would do differently with more time, but we’re pretty proud of this for the five days. :)
Awesome work!As mentioned in other's comments, the art is very polished!
I enjoyed the interpretation of the game mechanic, I would like to have felt a stronger sense of "rules" regarding how many times you can interact as a ghost. It felt a bit uncertain.
I do think some of the jumps felt a little bit tight vertically, as in, I bumped my head a lot which feels a bit unpleasant. But other than that I think the level design is very solid! Strong onboarding, fun use of interactables, I liked the heart placement around the torches.
I would like to have seen something more done with the orb after the torches. Since I was a ghost in that spot and you had light coming from the ceiling, I thought there was a secret or shortcut if I went straight up at that point. Would have been a fun addition!
Great work to everyone on the team :)
Thank you! We wanted to add a secret room or two, but time got away from us after all haha.
Very polished game, I managed to softlock myself once but I think its a skill issue more than anything, the character and environment is high quallity and adorable! The gameplay is fun and makes me feel smart after completing the puzzles ❤︎
Thank you so much!
Beautiful great game, fun to play and cool use of the Theme.
Thanks!
Very cute execution, plays smooth and it was fun to figure out when to use a ghost. Good job!
Thank you!
Simple and cute art style! Also like strategically placed rocks to solve soft locks on sokoban sections
Thank you!
Awesome game! The only thing I could really ask for is more polish, but you can't really do that very well in a game jam. Great job for such a limited amount of time!
thank you!
Beautiful game , the game's mechanics aligned really well with the level design,and the artstyle is just really cool lookin..i'd just like to add ,that the ghost respawning can be improved because there were many time i could do E to interact for atleast more than once but the game allows only 1 attempt which is also understandable since its a ghost can travel through obstacles so that would not feel right if we have many attempts ..but its still negligible issue compared to how well the game was put up together..really amazing work..all the best!!
Thank you!
We didn't signal it well in the game itself, but the Ectoplasm (blue goopy icon) shows you how many actions you can take as the ghost - hopefully that helps!
Oh so that's what the blue icon was about ,i was thinking what the icon even is there for but couldn't figure that out so i just ignored it (>w<) ..My bad then , probably just me not paying enough attention..But yeah once again , the game is just brilliant..great work & all the best
Not your fault at all, we don’t really explain it so it’s on us :) thank you again for the kind words!
Game looks gorgeous, the art is so cute and cozy, the music is very charming. Overall a pretty pleasant and fun game!
Thank you very much!
