I'm sure this will be in top games because of artstyle and gameplay. Just wanna mention that I really liked the incremental difficultly.
A very nice game. The platforming parts were a bit challenging because of the unique movement and jumping mechanics, which made it hard to judge the right distance at first. I was really surprised by the voice acting in this game. The music is also very pleasant, but for my taste, it ends too quickly.
Overall, very nice and cute game<3
Absolutely beautiful game, therapeutic even. Very artsy. Platforming was legitimately challenging sometimes! I enjoyed it! I liked the prickly pear cactus song
The drawings were gorgeous, but the music got annoying really fast. I couldn't focus on what was being said most of the time because I was trying to not die by jumping too early or too late. Also, I didn't understand what the message was if there was one.
Absolutely GORGEOUS art, and vibes were immaculate, and the ending was beautifully done.
The aesthetic of this is really beautiful, I love the textures! I had a slightly tough time with the jump mechanic, but I really liked the puzzles. Very cool game! Had to rate a fellow scarecrow game :)
I think being a platformer clashed with the experience. I didn't pay attention to the poem because I was focused on getting the jumps right. I think it would have been better to chose one style over trying to blend both. Also, for those of us who don't play a lot of platformers/metroidvanias, holding down the jump button to go higher is not something we figure out by default.
Thank you for the feedback, I didn't think about the need to teach the variable jump height with the level design. I guess it is important to teach especially when Ellie's jump is much more floaty than most platformer jumps
Really nice work on the atmospheric art style, I liked how it played around with the camera zoom
This is so… idk… deppresive i think
Liked the art style and the song, but is true that it ended looping to much. I felt the game a bit slow. Also the first jump is too hard for my opinion, it literraly seemed impossible at first. But for the rest, there are interesting concepts.
