What I really liked about this game was that it really matched the theme, the place was harmonious and peaceful, until you trigger the items and suddenly chaos ensues! I think the motion blur was a bit strong, and the lack of checkpoints was a bit frustrating. However overall it's a good game with lots of potential. Good job :)

The music, the lighting, the vibe... everything was so peaceful and ethereal, until I hit the spacebar. That jumping SFX literally made me laugh. Even though it broke the mood, it’s still pretty adorable.

The game has a nice atmosphere.

When I interacted with the yellow item, I was taken down by a second burst of heavy fire. I wondered if there was something I was meant to do there.

Thanks for playing the game Shiratama, when you interact with the yellow item, you have to run to the end of the level and that's it, you will finish the game :D

Ok so when I interact with the skull, where do I go next. By the way Good Job. I also made a platformer. Would you like to check it out?

Dear Aun-Abbas thanks for playing the game, after interacting with the skull you get a notification to go back to where you have started, and I will play your game too.

The look of the game is really nice! I did not really enjoy the controls, the main menu was really big for me, and I couldn't see the buttons. I also think the UI had a lot of potential to be something really digitalized. 

Developer

Thanks for playing the game and the feedback :D

I thought the interface's adaptability was poor. But otherwise, it's a good job

Thanks for playing the game, and thank you for the feedback :D

Nice Visuals!

Developer

Thank you :)

Love the look of the game. I wasn't the biggest fan of the controls though

Developer

Hey Aperce15, thank you for playing the game, the controls issue was related to a performance problem which is fixed right now and you can play the game without any problem :D

Nice little game, desert skull is not my friend anymore.

Sounds could be a bit more varied, the jump beep gets a bit monotonous after a few tries.

Overall looks good, though the camera was a bit dizzying at times.

Developer

Hey Lipastomies, Thank you for playing the game, I've noticed some performance issues which are updated and fixed right now and you can play it without any problems.

Hey I just wanted to say that your web build doesn't work (or atleast not in Firefox). It loads correctly but the screen size is invalid I think (you can set this in itchio settings). I haven't rated the game yet, let me know if you update it and I'll review it again!

Developer

Hey Calsmurf2904, thank you for the information, I've fixed the problem and now you can play the game. Thank you very much :D

Great I could play it now! I had some performance issues when the orbs started spawning after activating the Desert Totem. And it got crazy hard! The game ran without bugs and definitely looked like a strange place. Good job!
