The game is interesting, and it looks very pretty. I have a few things that were a little weird going through the game. Like, the fact that I had to, unless there was something I missed, just spam q and go off to the side to find the first part of the game seemed a little weird and unintuitive. I had a blue and yellow thing I had to do but no green thing, so I reached the door and it just ended, so I might have broke something. The circle gate things don't feel like an interesting thing to interact with in the environment, and instead just feel time wasting since there is no puzzle or difficulty element associated with them. The bubble collecting was a little tedious because there didn't seem like an obvious or good strategy for knowing how to catch them. Overall it does feel like a good idea is beneath the surface, but the puzzle design could use some work to not feel quite as blind, and the art is really nice and impressive for what you could do and implement in the time, so the game was really nice to look at while figuring it all out.

This honestly was such a beautiful game. It was recommended to me so I wouldn't have found it otherwise. The music and art were so lovely. I was intimidated by the world turning at first, but then it became near-second nature. Really fun mechanics and such an interesting idea. It was a bit confusing at first, but exploring helped show what was needed. The bees, however, were explanatory for how to catch them having the bubble mechanic. Can't wait to see it finished. Also, I love the logo and the little guy in game. 

i have NEVER been so dissapointed over a game ending (because i wanted to keep playing), you've somehow managed to make a non combat focused metroidvania for a game jam and you should be proud, the game was amazing, it really reminded me of games like hollow knight or even dark souls, not in combat but in worldbuilding, without any lines of dialogue you've managed to convey so much of the world and who the player is, the game is gorgeous and i'll definetly copy this single color pixel art style for a project of my own some day because i loved it. 

I want to know more about this world, i want to keep exploring, what was the green being that comes out of the ground? why is everything white including the player? why are we bringing life to the world? you're right thinking this game has potential, it's definetly one of those games that feel bigger than they are and i loved it.

There's some improvements too, first of all, the controls are a bit badly positioned, specially C for the bubbles, and while you can jump with space bar, in game you only mention enter. Also the bird catching with the bubbles was by far the worst part of the game, the birds fly away off screen, where bubbles cannot reach them, and while you can reach them yourself by spinning the world properly, it's really hard. Maybe reworking how the birds or the bubbles work would be smart.

Another area of improvement is just a little bit more player guidance, im not saying add explanations or yellow paint, that would completly ruin this game, but maybe a little jingle when the player is doing something to progress, for example when you're creating grass at the start, the music could do a small change while you are making new grass and return to normal while not, also some particles could be included and some camera effects. Also, the "You're smart enough to figure out what to do" sounds a bit condescending, maybe different wording would be better!

in terms of the music, it was fine, it fit the theme, but this game has so much soul in it that you could notice the music wasn't made by the same person that made the rest, if you keep going with this project i'm not going to tell you to learn music theory and sfx, but you should definetly pair up or hire someone that can handle that with as much passion as you've put into this game.

I really enjoyed this one! I think it does a really good job of setting expectations from the start by directly telling you that it won't hold your hand, and you'll have to experiment in order to figure it out. The art was fantastic, and the music choice fit really well. I think the only issue I really had was that it was a little tedious gathering the birds at the start. I found the best strategy was basically to try to fall on top of them and time the bubble just right so that I could grab the bird as I fell past hahaha. I loved the sense of discovery though, and how weird and surreal everything was. I think I detect some Hollow Knight influence in the art too :) Great job! Would love to see more if you decide to continue development.
