so cool bro

I absolutely loved the UI! The gameplay is super enjoyable, especially the mechanic of passing through walls. After playing the first level, I thought to myself, 'This would be legendary if it focused a bit more on puzzles,' and I was thrilled to see that you actually did that! It turned out to be an amazing result. Congratulations!

Very good game, its unique and we have implemented similar shader of the wave haha. Well polished and the music fits well!
That's a 5/5 for me. Holy crap that was well done. I love the music! It felt like it really belonged with this game. The jumping sound and wave activation sounds are perfect. I don't mind hearing them a lot. Gives the game a lot of character.
The challenges were just hard enough that I didn't get annoyed by losing so often haha. I felt like I really had to practice my wave air travel in order to progress and it felt rewarding to finally get it. Art is great and simple, but informative.
Really cool submission!
Interesting mechanic. It fits very well with the jam. I will say, the steel looked very close to the glass at a glance. The audio was done well, plenty of SFX, and nice music. The controls felt nice on the keyboard and mouse. I liked that you could chain the transformations; additionally, it's a cool touch that the light form travels faster than sound. The environments are aesthetically pleasing, as well.
Cool submission.
I actually saw this game way earlier, before realizing I had review games in my queue. Still, I felt I had to come back to it later.
This is a very polished game! I love the minimal artstyle and the music, the transition from the main menu to the game is a great first impression. You've got great game feel with excellent visual effects, sounds, screenshake, a good difficulty curve with optional levels, and I appreciate the small detail that light is faster than sound!
Two pieces of feedback: I think the one way platforms could use a little more clarity. I can see the one row of solid pixels for the 'solid' side and the side you pass through skips every other pixel, but I think which side is which could be made more clear. I also got stuck in the environment a couple times with the wave, the first time being the very first feather. I got stuck in the ground and needed to restart. Screenshot below.
Awesome job!
thanks for this really nice feedback! Artist here, so very glad you enjoyed all of the graphics, I spent a lot of time making it look nice :D The one way platforms is definitely something that people have talked about, and I do see how it could be difficult to notice. We will definitely fix that in our next update. As for the ground stuff, it is a known bug that we have been trying desperately to fix since early in development, but were only able to mitigate it a little bit. Hopefully we can find a way to fix it fully! thanks again for playing :DD
Snappy and responsive controls, brilliant interpretation of the theme. Might be one of the more polished games submitted. I enjoyed changing forms midair and penetrating through walls.
This is amazing. Such a good interpretation of the theme. It's incredible you made all this in a month. This deserves a full release. Definite 5 star from me,
Really nice platformer, had my eye on this since seeing it in the discord, big fan of precision platformers and it took way too long to get around to it, I'll be coming back to this one again.
My favourite interpretation of the theme so far.
Its really impressive that this game was made in just one month. Music and graphics are incredible and the veery ingenious mechanics is very well made. Outstanding work!
Thank you so much! I also really enjoyed your game, the mechanic was so fun and unique!
I like the game, the sound and specially the loading animation from monitor screen to full screen is beautifully executed. My sugestion is maybe choosing a different color palette for the player, also the texts too, With the current pixel art style it is very difficult for me to understand what to do and also I kept missing where my player went. Overall a really good game! Also I struggled to really jump higher and was stuck at level 1 :'(
