Lovely game, nice story, great mechanic for day/night and great level design to mix the platforming with it. Excellent idea and well structured. And Lumi is such a memorable character. I would love to play more of this game. Excellent Job!!! Congrats.

What a great platformer. The effect where you shift worlds is very good. The level design is very nice, and felt satisfying to complete. I only wish there was more! Fantastic job!

Building AffinitiesWonderful game. Thanks so much for making it. Really reminded me of A Fold Apart. Thanks a lot for making it.

Color WeaveI really enjoyed this one!
The day/night switching mechanic is a fantastic idea and it was genuinely fun figuring out how each version of the world could help me progress. The atmosphere is cozy, the little character is charming, and the overall presentation feels very polished.
I did run into a bug where I fell into a gap and got stuck without being able to jump back out, which forced me to restart the game. Aside from that, I had a great time with it.
I can definitely see why so many people are asking for more levels. The core mechanic is strong, the puzzles are enjoyable, and it feels like the kind of game that could easily grow into a larger project. Great work!

EntwineDe nada!
Sinceramente, acho que o fato de várias pessoas terem mencionado que queriam mais fases é um ótimo sinal. Significa que a mecânica principal é divertida e que os jogadores queriam continuar jogando.
Fico feliz que o relatório de erros também tenha sido útil. Esses são exatamente os tipos de coisas que são fáceis de passar despercebidas durante uma jam e muito mais fáceis de detectar quando as pessoas começam a tocar com configurações diferentes e a experimentar de maneiras que nunca imaginamos.
Você criou um projeto realmente encantador com muito potencial, e eu certamente teria interesse em jogar uma versão expandida no futuro, caso você decida continuar o desenvolvimento.
Parabéns novamente pela submissão e boa sorte nas próximas etapas!
Loved the switching mechanic! I honestly think it would be much better if the entire game is in the capsule image art style.

Bot EscapeI know, I really wanted to do this! I'm going to follow Grant's grease pencil tutorial on his YouTube soon. I had to use 3D art assets I bought from the GameDev.tv game jam bundle since I'm not a 3D artist and only a 2D artist so I do plan on using those. I did the 2D art so I would have LOVED to do all of the art!
I loved the day/night shifting mechanic, well done I enjoyed playing this thru to the end. tygg

Dungeon ConnectionLots of good quality, visually, the sound, the level design, and the amazing day/night mechanic, thats the kind of game I love. You did amazing, well deserved result you get to share!

Knight of LightIt’s a short game, but it still feels like a complete experience with a proper beginning and ending , exactly what you’d want from a game jam entry. I had fun while playing, and that first switch moment was a real wow moment for me. It was completely unexpected. Solving the puzzles was very enjoyable, and I didn’t encounter any bugs. I also really liked the little character.

The HedgehogOmg thank you so much for this comment <3 This made my day today! I had so much fun with that shader when switching day/night mode! I really appreciate it! I didn't get to design 1-2 more levels like I originally wanted since I really wanted to take the time to draw the main menu scene and include the intro dialogue!
Nice little game, especially considering it's your first one.
The main character is somewhat mismatched with the rest of the 3D props, but it's a pretty minor thing.
I liked the scene switching mechanics, but I have to say I really didn't enjoy the static noise transitions. It feels really jarring and fatiguing to me, both visually and audibly, especially since you have to switch between them very often to solve the puzzle. If you could change it to a smoother, much gentler transition, I think it will improve the player experience much better. It would also fits the rest of the game more.
I would also tweak the jumping a bit to make the player not as floaty. I would also add pitch-shifting to the footstep sounds to make it less monotonic.
Overall, still a decent entry. Keep up the good work!

0818 Petrichor LaneThank you!
Yessss I am a 2D artist so the 3D models came from the game jam asset bundle they sold prior to the game jam so that would be the reason. I really want to eventually go for a grease pencil style so I can keep my hand-drawn feel in there but make it 3D, but I didn't have time to learn 3D modeling for the jam <3
Ah thank you for that feedback! I grabbed my noise sound effects from my subscription with Envato so I will definitely scout out a different sound effect if I continue down this path or learn to make my own :)
I did add coyote timers for jumping so I could pull the gravity down once you cross the arc of your jump, but I might have to tweak it more to be more dramatic <3 I was playing Rayman Legends while coding this trying to get a feel for their jumping since I absolutely love how that game feels as a platformer!
Thank you SO much for the wonderful feedback!
