I can only get to the screen right after the play button because of my ultrawide monitor cutting off the UI, if you can do a post jam windowed version (or different scaling mode on the canvas) I would love to try it!

Very Cash moni, my suggestion would be to work on the camera, make it more free to look around, also i like how you don't get spoon feeded how to play information, just a funny intro text

The camera snap was a bit odd, but the game's overall was a nice platformer. The graphics were fantastic

Good game overall. The graphics were really great! I had a good time playing it and i can see the experience you guys have doing games.
Just a couple of things to include as feedback that i think could have improved my experience.

* The controls felt weird, i would like to look up and down. Some obstacles were down and i could not see the path to it
* The game is very difficult, i felt over in some obstacle and had to start everything again and i did it once, the second time i felt like it was too much effort, i think there was some other world but unfortunately could not reach them. I think this kind of punish is not as needed in a game jam where you want people to see everything you've done
* I think the theme was not so strong in the game, would like to see more reference to it

Keep working hard guys!

Interesting platformer very reminiscent of the old classic PSX/PS2 era platformers, very jak and daxter.

Love the level design with a lot of hidden collectibles, but the platforming needed work.

I had major issues with deadzone on the controller for the camera and the movement which also made the platforming feel a lot worse. A coyote-time mechanic on jumping could help make jumps a lot less frustrating.

I absolutely adore the character biography at the start, thank you for selling me the character of glenn so vividly.

Overall a decent attempt, more care definitely needed on the movement and camera mechanics next time to make the game a bit more accessible.

Very cool to see a 3D platformer as a Jam game. I'm not sure if the lives mechanic is necessary though.

This was queued on my stream earlier but I was unable to play it. It looks interesting, but it only plays fullscreen and the UI scales off the screen on an ultrawide monitor so I was unable to go past the first screen after pressing Start. :(

The post-processing is nicely dialed in here. I just wish there were more sounds implemented

A small but pretty interesting submission. I like visuals and overall idea, however, I don't like the camera, it feel cluncky and the fact that the character don't run all the time as slow movement need reraly. Anyway, it's a solid submission, well done.

I like the visuals, but I have a couple pet peeves: the camera is pretty janky and made me feel sort of motion sick, and the visual effect around the edges of the screen didn't help either.

Overall, though, this is really impressive for a game jam - good job!

Nice game, I loved the animations on the alien, they were really cute! Nice graphics overall, I would have liked being able to move the camera up and down and having a cooldown for the jump.

Ooh, I've never seen a 3d collectathon in a ludum dare before! I was only able to find 5 of the crystals though. Really nice work on the game! I love the design of glenn!

Nice work, I really enjoyed the graphics, game looked beautiful. I had issues with the camera shaking a lot while I was moving around so I wasn't able to finish the game but it's awesome that you guys were able to make something like this in such a short amount of time!

Overall a good game, especially the art is gorgeous and dance control is hilarious :laughing: the camera is kinda shaky though and it seems like there's color glitches when player moves around while moving the camera too.. well aside from that everything seems good. Thank you for the submission :D

@r4ndomthunder Alt+Enter goes into windowed mode, but you can't resize the window so the problem is still there :(

Really nice looking levels and character. The platforming nice. I think that being able to jump a short while after walking off a ledge would be a nice addition.

Nice work and fairly interesting! Your levels and your graphical design is very nice. The camera is a bit strange and the game can be overly punishing at times. But overall, nice work :)
