I need coffee!!!

We all slept like 3 hours
The game is a little confusing. Its not clear what you are supposed to do. The ladder scene is too dark to see whats going on. Its weird that the girl just starts climbing a ladder you cant see.
Anyways that's my writers brain going crazy, the possible interpretations are interesting! I like the character animation and art, that was really good. I was also impressed by the audio, it made for some stunning atmosphere. I felt like a lot of levels were almost teasing me, like they'd kill me right at the end just for laughs. Dunno if that was meant to be frustrating, but I had to redo large sections of level multiple times, which I didn't like. The environments also lacked contrast, things like the black crow and ladders failed to stand out from the background. Overall, the game was very interesting, and you've certainly won my prize for weirdest LD game! :heart:
P.S. note that when I'm saying weird, I mean weird in a good way, something that stands out and intrigues!
We believe that games should bring out emotions, so we tried to reflect that with the atmosphere (sound and art), and frustration ;D. We decided to give the players something different, but within 72 hours, U.U. Of course, the level design could have been improved, and for the next jam we will have in consideration all the reviews that you guys give us. Thank you very much.
Nice entry :smiley:
Nice entry!
this is a bit of a strange game, it need some working out the details
Levels feel way too spacious, with current characters speed, so restarting the whole level from beginning feels very harsh.
Also, I'm not sure why you made everything but characters so dark. It almost feels like html5 build is broken (maybe it is, sorry if that's the case). This doesn't add a lot to the gameplay, I had to turn up brightness to the max, to be able to see what I'm doing.
Anyway, good job!
I found the level design a bit weird, the character are slow and the ladders very long, I did not understand what was triggering what, and I had no idea what to do with the crow, and the 'jumpscare' death felt out of place. Still, there is potential. The fact that you cannot go back the other way when playing as the girl on the ladder made some levels very linear.
