The art style was gorgeous and the sound track omg it fit it so well. You did a great job I wish the game was longer but just because I wanted to keep playing, awesome. It kind of gave me the vibes of like a Wii Ware game and I mean that as a compliment it just has a great vibe. I gave you almost a perfect score :)

Beautiful music and graphics! But it's a little bit hard for me to control.

The sound fit the game really well, really relaxing, calm game. I got only 1100 points, but I enjoyed it :)

The game is quite hard because of the controls but it was very cool tho !
I wish the game was longer too

Nice mood, the graphics (somehow reminded me of Salad Fingers...) and the music. Controls are like in a racing game but you're a ghost. Wasn't entirely clear what the different lights mean, (spoilers ahead) but once I discovered drifting motion it was much easier to collect them. A pretty cool short, good job!

This game is a whole mood in itself! I really like the calm music and the simple, yet fitting aesthetic. It's not as easy as it might seem though.

A nice, calm mood. As ADerpyChickenStudios mentioned, the game was a bit short. I really like how the stage wobbles a bit like an animated drawing. The character is a bit hard to control, if you tightened the controls and made them less rigid this game would be taken to the next level imo!

This game has a really chill vibe to it, very relaxing. Would be cool if it had more levels and mechanics. Liked that the game was challenging but not frustrating to play.

Good job! The graphics and music fit perfectly and give a good atmosphere!
Maybe the player moves a bit too fast, but it's ok, it wasn't that frustrating :)

Fun! Hard but doable especially with generous checkpoints. I'm not sure I totally understood how the light worked but I never seemed to run out.

Loved this one! The art style was great, and the controls were smooth. Very short though, I'd love to play a second level!

Glad so many of you liked it!

We also felt the game was a bit short, but it took us some time to figure out what direction we wanted to take the game, so didn't quite have the time to make more content :smile:

@neilkleistgao @rayqdr @jakobthequizguy @maluskhan Sorry the controls were a bit hard to use, would have liked to do some more tweaking on them! :)

i love the glow in this game! it makes a really nice atmosphere. the movement felt good. near the end, i didn't have sound anymore. I don't know if that was a bug or intentional. but before that, the music was also really fitting ^-^

I really enjoyed the atmosphere in this game. Between visuals, music, and sfx it gave a beautiful mood. Gameplay is well done and fits the theme nicely. Some levels are challenging, but the quick and nearby checkpoints help even out the difficulty. Great job!

Great music, and I love the ms paint ascetic—shows that a little animation can go a long way.
