Such a cute game with a great atmosphere. I found the gameplay to be very simple, but I don't see it as a bad thing since I found more of the game to be enjoyed through the art, story, and music. I had a lot of fun with this one and its one of my favorites of the jam. Great job to you and your team!

When I first started the game, it froze the page.  Though I let it sit and it unfroze so I could play. Having the starting screen art as the banner, and the banner being kinda long looking (even though it is the correct size), it through me off which one was the playscreen T.T. The art is insanely gorgeous. Very Ori vibes. The music and sfx were so cute. So was the falling animation. I really enjoyed the credits being played through the gameplay! The additional climbing elements like the vine speed up were such a nice touch. And the characters were really cute.

Noooooo it froze? Hopefully it was still a vibe. Thank  you soooo much for playing our game!

Yeah, the game very overall had very ambient vibes, and I cannot get over how beautiful everything is. Something I forgot to mention was that it really made me want to be able to play it with controller. 

Developer(+1)

I know that would be really cool to figure out... I love a good controller scroller game

Beautiful art in this game. Combined with the music and the mystical forest background, it really felt like I got swept into a magical place right away, and that feeling stuck with me all the way through. The stamina system felt nicely balanced too. It never felt too punishing unless I really messed up, which I appreciated. And thank you for not sending me all the way back to the bottom of the tree every time I fell in a room lol. That was such a smart choice and kept the climbing fun instead of frustrating. The amount of detail and polish in this game is really strong. I also loved how the credits appeared on that first climb; that moment genuinely impressed me. Really beautiful and thoughtful game.

Developer(+1)

Wowowow, thank you so much for this feedback! I'm so glad you found the climbing challenging but fun, and that you could get swept away into another world. That's exactly what we hoped to do! :)

Very pretty art and animation, and nicely polished gameplay. I really enjoyed it. Gameplay-wise very straightforward and intuitive. :)

Fabulous art and animation. Sound design is also great and the music is very chill. Gameplay loop is simple but very fun, and the looping happening when the player falls is very smart. One of the best ones I've played so far, amazing job!

Awww thank you so much!

The art and theme of a wingless fairy is sooo sweet and cute I love it!! It feels super nostalgic for the fairy books I used to read as a kid, or Pixie Hollow :) It's very magical and the looping is really nicely done, it's a very cute way of introducing upgrades to the player

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Appreciate the feedback <3

Developer

Omg Pixie Hollow, yesss! Thank you very much for playing our game and for the feedback! I cannot wait to play your team's game :)

beautiful, stunning art with very good direction, a cozy narrative and fun, challenging gameplay! I’m honestly in awe of the environment art, I’d love to play a longer game in this style.

at times the dialogue felt a bit exposition-heavy, but nothing major enough. the music was a bit quiet for me, but that could be just my system. lovely game! incredible work.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback, we appreciate it ◡̈

Thank you so much for the feedback, especially on the dialogue! Agree it was a process to get the right balance between exposition and letting the audience come to their own conclusions, especially with a silent player character. We are glad you enjoyed it! <3

This game is so cute!  I love the music and the art style.  I enjoy the idea of the loop, though I'm not sure it's seamless.  Good job team!

Developer

Aww thank you! We seamlessly <3 you!
