This is so cool! really liked the art style the whole game had such a mysterious vibe
Super cool game! I liked every level of it. and finished it with enjoyment. I think you nailed everything! You also used the theme in such a fun and interesting way. The only issue was the audio was laggy at times but not always. Great job.
I really enjoyed the experience. The transition between the main menu and the game is very smooth, and the way portals are used for scene transitions is really well done. I also like the visual style a lot.
I found the levels with the stairs a bit confusing in terms of where to go, and I often fell off platforms there.
I found the hidden Qrcode
Well done !
Cool concept, couldnt figure out a way to escape the moon, good use of the portal asset, nice vibes
- Moth
See above^
PS. You should try making a portal from scratch lol
- a tired Crow
thanks for the feedback! i am trying to think of a better way to design the moon level but it was extremly hard to see what i was doing so i had to just keep going on other stuff, but i am thinking of making a tool where i could make it easier to design the level.
Very nice game! Was really invested! Nice reference to MC Escher! Was it intended?
yeah thats what i was going for :) i didnt know the name of the guy before but had a blast looking into some of his stuff!
I liked it! It's very cool! Especially the places where gravity changes
Ooooh, that made me quite stressed for a moment, really cool and the visuals also go really hard :)
This was quite terrifying! I enjoyed it very much. I had a bit of trouble escaping the dark, well done!
One of me team members recommended me this game, and holy hell this is so well made. Great job!
that makes me really happy :) thank you!
Ok that was a cool experience, well done!
Forgive the profanity but this was so fucking cool. It’s defo one of theses cases where the less you explain, the better it is.
I didn’t finish it (if there is and end?), but it was a very good contemplative experience. If I can get petty for a second, a few more sound effects would’ve perfected it.
Good stuff.
Thanks :D there is an ending, but its a bit hidden away, maybe i should add some sound to the portals to make them easier to find. and i wanted more random environmental sounds but i ran out of time. but i am doing a little bit of tweaking so i might add them in when im not so tired of looking at my computer screen :P
This was very confusing, but in a good way? I liked the minimalist artstyle. I would have enjoyed it more if there were some more clear indicators or landmarks to help me understand that I was making progress.
Wow, absolute banger! Had a blast with this one.
I really like the aesthetic here, the darkness creeping around the moon surface was super cool. Something scary about being chased by darkness.
Pretty fun, also the atmosphere fit very well with the theme! The stair maze part was quite difficult for me, but it is very cool concept!
Really trippy game! Like the graphics and the ambient feels very alien and uncanny (in a good way!). Not sure if this is intentional but on the web version my mouse keeps randomly flicking back making me accidently walk back to the black hole. Also the audio has a static break noise. The stair level is very disorienting not sure if that is by design. But overall still a very enjoyable game!
do you know wich sound had the audio clipping? and i tried really hard to make the stair room disorienting so im glad you said that! :P i dont know whats going on with the mouse flicking though, but ill look into it.
Not really sure which one but the audio clipping happened on the maze lavel.
Really cool concept!!
My feedback would be that after i died the first time, i wish the camera would have oriented so that i was looking at the path into the maze. Also sometimes if i would die and then quickly orient my camera to the maze and start running, i would still just immediately die, though i swear i was walking quickly towards the maze!!
Love the graphics too, with the pixel feel but still in 3d. that is difficult to pull off well and this game did it well! Very immersive. Great work!
i couldnt figure out why in time but in the start area the darkness is a little quicker after restarting once, but it should be very dooable if you dont move before looking in the correct way. i agree it is a bit weird to orient the player the wrong way, but i really wanted a smooth transition when respawning where the screen went black then you had to turn to find where you were, but the button messed it a bit up and without it there were some bugs i couldnt fix in time
Amazing game! I want to know how you did the maze thing in a plane. Really cool concept!!!
it's a portal that teleports you to somewhere else :P (i didnt make it though) If you get to the ending you can press f2 to fly, and f1 to turn off the darkness.
Leave some feedback and ill check out your games aswell :D
