Genuine Peak, the story was simple but worked so well with the gameplay, I wish it did go farther thogh
Extremely impressed with the way you tell the story! The dark theme, the art style, and the gameplay, they all complement each other really well. Totally love it. Great job on your first jam!
Concept: nice little story, fits the theme very well. I really liked the subtle story things like title screen flashing for a moment, hinting that what we're doing in the game is not right, or the ending screen telling us to let go of this game, drawing a parallel with the story, cool stuff.
Gameplay: it's simple and mostly a device to convey the story, nothing extraordinary but it does it's job well. being able to fall of the edge of the screen is a kinda weird though, breaks immersion a bit.
Art: the spritework is very pretty, especially the backgrounds and level art. Some sprites like the characters feel a bit out of the place though due to the inconsistent pixel sizes.
Audio: the music is pretty fitting, matches the atmosphere of and the story well. I feel like the game is a bit lacking in sound effects though, some actions like dying feel like should give some audio feedback.
Overall, very nice submission with some rough edges. For your first game it's very impressive!
This was a really good feedback! Thank you so much for taking the time in analyzing my game! I'll do my best in future projects, and I'm also happy that you like some of the things of my game!
Really impressive stuff! Great use of the theme and the artwork is very nice indeed. Thanks for jamming with us :)
Thank you Theo! I had a lot of fun and I hope I can continue participating in future jams with all of you!
Great storyline, and a bite sized puzzle platformer. Really like the mechanic of a "buddy" that helps you solve the levels.
Thanks! I feel that the time wasn't enough and I was planning to add more mechanics! Anyways! I'm happy that you like the mechanics
wowww yall, rly rly charming!!
the pixel art is SO GOOD. the writing is SO GOOD. the worldbuilding SO GOOD.
...srsyl...pixel art so good....like what the heck.
one of the best i've played so far, if not the best <3
OMG! Tysm! I'm really happy that you enjoyed the game and thank you my friend Skevvy did a really good job with the pixel art!
Very cool take on Necromancy. I really liked the scenes and the overall plot. I felt so bad for my sister, but I still revived her at the end. Nicely done!
Thank you for the feedback!
Wow this game was really impressive. I had a low expectation when she died the first time, then I understood the game. One of the best of this Jam so far for me.
thank you so much for your feedback!
Very nice! The gameplay is straightforward, but you use it to great effect to tell an intriguing story! It was also just the right amount of spooky. Great job!
Thank you for your feedback! I'll make sure to improve the gameplay in future games!
Pretty short, but the story definitely got its message across well. You really showed that their sister was coming back more and more as something else. I was half expecting her to attack you towards the end or something. Nice Job!
i didn't think about it! Next time I'll do more gameplay and include something like that!
Pretty short and straightforward story platformer. I chose not to bring her back because it felt like the lesson the game was teaching. Pretty simple, the gameplay was definitely second to the story, which is completely fine
I was planning to add more gameplay, but the time was too short, but thank you!
This is great! A nice short spooky story with gameplay that complements it nicely.
Tysm!
Fantastic. This is like a story (great story, btw) and adventure game fit into one. It really fits the theme and brings a whole Pet Cemetery feel.
Thank you!
