Really like the theme and the atmosphere of the game, the graphics are nice too and the music, overall is inmersive. I think that the character moves too slow also I don't know if is on purporse but the char can get stuck on walls and jump out of them. Also the fact that have a story was really nice and adds up to the inmersion.

Oooh! Really awesome idea. It's like a memory game / platformer with a creepy atmosphere. Really dig it!!

Mr.Pickle's Underwater QuarrelThe gameplay feels a bit janky, since the player can spam jump and fly everywhere. That being said, the art is genuinely beautiful. The backgrounds for levels 2 and 3 look really cool and the cutscenes had a memorable artstyle that made for a bittersweet story. I really like the concept too, going for a "dream dive" instead of a literal one.

Kitchen DiverVery cool game, art especially in the cutscenes was amazing and the story was quite interesting too, a very unique game for this jam! good work!

Carolines BasementGreat art, atmosphere, theme but its quite hard to know whats currently happening in the game, I think it could greatly benefit from any visual feedback, such as character flashing/screenshake/particle effect or sound!

Chroma ManiaGood game, I enjoyed it. It took me a while to figure out the movement, so maybe consider adding a tutorial or something. I really liked the graphics, though and the background music has this mysterious vibe that sounds amazing.

CoralquestI liked the story a lot! The art was also very good, a pretty enjoyable game! I just think the camera should've been closer to the player in the platforming segments.

Worlds Longest Staircasei liked the design ^-^ it would be cool if the camera would be a little closer to the character or a bigger/closer game view.

Fire on MauiCute little game and nice soundtracks and atmosphere! 2nd level was maybe a little bright but i could see why it needed to be

Let your balls fallIts a really cool game! I really love the soundtrack and atmosphere. The movement is a bit janky, since it seems to count touching the wall/ceiling as touching the ground, so as long as I'm colliding with the level I can basically fly. I also think there should be some sort of checkpoint system so I don't have to restart the entire game if I die. Really creative interpretation of the theme though, and its not often that I play a video game made in a week that makes me feel such intense emotion (other than frustration because I'm bad at video games).
