I love the art! my only problems were I kept getting lag spikes that flung my camera in a random direction and I couldn't really see past the fairies.I still had a nice time though!

The artstyle reminds me of a game named Among Trees. Unfortunately, the game was abandoned. Very pretty artstyle and atmosphere. Well done!

Developer

Thanks a lot! Actually didn't know Among Trees but it looks beautiful! Bummer that it's no longer being supported... Thanks for playing!

phenomenally beautiful! i'm in awe c: my only critique is that when my swarm was big enough it became hard to see past the particle effects to actually where i was going, and the harsh light was a bit hard to look at.

All in all a serene and heartening experience, great job c:

Developer

Thank you so much! I agree about the particles and the swarm getting in the way at times. I plan to release one update after the jam to incorporate some of the feedback and, hopefully, fix the WebGL performance as well. Let's see what I can do. Thanks for the feedback and for playing! :)

A beautiful experience. The gentle ambience and the quiet twinkles of the little whisps really came together to create quite a serene soundscape. The visuals are amazing too. You show a great understanding of colour-theory. 

My only complaint is that the game didn't run very well. The occlusion culling came in clutch occasionally, but when I was staring out into far distances the frames suffered. Didn't impact my enjoyment too much though. 

Great work with this!

Developer

Thanks a lot! Yeah, sadly I ran out of time (and honestly, knowledge too :D ) to figure out why the WebGL build runs so poorly. I'll take another look at it in a few days because it's bothering me a lot as well.

The Windows build runs fine on all the machines I tested, so I think it's probably an issue with the shader on WebGL.

Glad to hear it didn't bother you too much, though! :)

I was tempted to try it out after seeing the cover art. I love the ambiance you have created with the audio and music. wow!
