Rough around the edges (got stuck inside a platform) but really neat idea, with some lovely execution. Nice job!
Very unique mechanics for a platformer. I got softlocked after the first orange box. Was stuck between the tree and the stone above the tree. Nice idea and cute artwork.
Thanks for playing! Sorry to hear about being stuck, seems like we missed some collider issues. :)
Game looks really good, the artist did a really good job.
I couldn't figure out how to get past the first orange zone, I got stuck on a rock :(
Thanks for playing! In the orange zone the effect to solidify the rope when the kite is thrown making it a platform, we had a hard time figuring out how to explain the zones. Seems a lot of people got stuck in rocks, I think its due to some collider issues. :)
Very beautiful and polish game! Also very creative and unique mechanic with the kite. Had a lot of fun! Great work!
Thanks!
That concept is so cool! I really love it. Your mechanics and puzzle designs are incredibly clever, and the artwork is amazing as well. Great job!
Thank you ^^
i like the artwork and also the wind that flow back to the start position its cool, nice
Thank you
love this game, epically the elegant art! The style of the game is so amazing!
Thanks ^^
I liked the game! The art is really pretty and the background sound fit so well! But I got stuck on a rock and couldn't play anymore! lol
I'm sorry to hear it. While we tested the game so such thing happen. Can you say where is the rock that you have stuck on?
The artstyle is gorgeous, the audio and sfx really match with it. I liked the vibes overall. I got stuck on a rock after the first section so didn't go through further but nice game!
Sorry to hear that you got stuck and thank you for the kind comment.
I liked the artwork and the platforming is creative
and the wind bring you back when you fall is a nice touch.
Just hope that the game was a bit easier
Thank you!
I really like the different abillities you made! Your game is very creative and I would have liked to see more of it, and i really liked the visuals, the wind effects are well made.
That's so nice. We had more ideas for levels and mechanics but the time was enough for what we have posted :D
Beautiful artwork! The kite mechanics were really interesting and took a bit to get used to. After a few tries, I made it to the end. Luckily, the checkpoints were placed really well. :)
Thanks for playing through to the end! <3
Nicely varied movement options! I did end up getting stuck inside of a rock when I pulled myself towards it, though.
Thanks for palying! :)
Fun idea! I especially liked the environment art. I had a weird experience where my character seemed to be choppy while they were moving which made it tricky to control. I also died while my kite was lodged and was sent back to the start but my kite stayed lodged, which let me zoom across the map back to the kite. Can't understate how nice the environment art was though.
It took me a while to master even the first jump but I am not good at this type of games. It feels really good after mastering this mechanics. Stunning artwork! I could play the game just for visuals.
Thanks for playing! <3
Beautiful visuals, nice puzzles! They weren't too easy, weren't too hard, it took some time to beat yes, but the texts helped a lot, especially at the last puzzle. i liked that the texts only revelaed the neccessary details but did not just gave me the solution
Some soft magical music would've selled the game more because the bell rings got a bit repetitive after a while, so it could've spiced the audio up a little i think.
I'm glad that you have enjoyed the game. Thanks for the feedback and for the audio advice.
I like the artstyle, it is quite fancy. The gameplay is decent. Maybe it is just me, but for some reason I was really having a hard time playing with the grapple. Unfortunately I had to quit after failing too many times at the introduction of the "x" control.
Thanks for playing! We had a hard time figuring out how to explain the mechanics and visually present them, for the x thing the control is just to retrieve the kite when it is lodged somwhere and you dont want to pull yourself to its locations, the mechanic in the zone there is that the rope solidifies when you grapple making a platform that you can pull to. :)
Very nice audio and nice sound effects. I think I was getting a bit confused with some of the mechanics, and couldn't quite figure out the jumps with the kite. That being said, I am horrible at platformers and maybe someone more versed with them would be better at it than I was. The concept of using the kite to help with the platformers and sort of as a hookshot was really interesting though. And I loved the sort of watercolor style backgrounds.
Thanks for playing! Im not good at platformers either, so maybe i messed something up XD
Your environment art is gorgeous!! Some of the starting jumps were difficult but I got the hang of it after a few runs.
Thank you. I'm glad that you managed to deal with the jumps ^^
Really unique and smart idea with the kite. I loved learning the new mechanics and using them to navigate the terrain. Good job!
Thanks :)
