You might have forgotten to make the itch.io page public..
IIRC, you need to edit the page again and click publish (or there's some radio buttons near the bottom).

@balduin Maybe you should package the entire release output folder instead of uploading a single .exe file. I still can't play.
There is an error saying that UnityPlayer.dll cannot be found

I am currently on vacation, so I don't have access to the files

I agree with @cloudlunar, you need to zip up the entire build folder (where you got the .exe from). Typically the zip will be around (or over) 25-30 megabytes depending on the resources you used.

Сюрреализм! Забавно ездить глазом по полям и грибам. Спасибо ^_^

It was good. I liked the audio and the graphics were nice. I wish the room transitions were smoother instead of just instantly teleporting you. The ending was also noice. Overall, pretty good.

Fun game, the moon felt controllable and I liked the little easter egg. I think some more sound effects or some music wouldn't have gone amiss though.

Nice idea and solid execution.
The atmospheric audio was nice, and the sound effects from the mushrooms were funny and complimented the game's weird vibe.
Overall, really good job. Fun game.

I enjoyed the boing sound a bit too much :smile: When going down the bouncy mushrooms, I missed some sort of anchor points to line myself up as you do fall quite fast. It would have been cool to have the starry background not follow the player, but just tile so I could use the stars to line myself up. Loved the simple controls, yet challenging gameplay as I progressed. Well done!

I love how weird and charming it is. Super subjective bonus points for feeling like something I would make during some LD. Light on the theme tho, but fuck it, it's still a neat idea that kinda sorta fits maybe.
As for gameplay, well, I would add some more checkpoints, I guess, but overall it is well done. I do like this entry quite a lot

I quite liked it. It is well controlled, very playable. The atmosphere is great, and has something cool

Very intersting idea! I especially liked level where mushrooms appeared from the bottom border of the screen and player need accurately fall on every narrow platform with a mushroom. But it would be nice to add narrative context in the end of the game. Nevertheless nice work!

Fun little game, I dug the visual style (though it felt a little incomplete) and it controlled quite nicely. It definitely suffered for not having music though, I would strongly recommend adding some in post-jam.

It's a fun little game with the player rolling around, feels really fragile for a "little moon" that breaks when you hit the floor too hard. Really love to boing sound effect, I originally thought the lack of BGM in the sky made the stage felt a bit empty, but soon as I descended to the later levels I started hearing more Ambient sound so that's pretty cool. Overall a very solid game for your first time, good job!

I really enjoyed this! The increase in difficulty felt perfect, well done on that level design. What a good use of atmospheric sounds, it really made the world come alive. The art was really well done too. Overall a very fun and weirdly charming game. Great job
