It's a nice entry! Loved the graphics and the fx for the obscura, was a little bit hard to navigate with the slow but I understood the idea behind it, loved the particles when you punch the flower :)

Just wow. I really like the stylized look of the game and it feels super nice.
I wasn't able to finish it, if there is a finish, because I fell trying to hit the eggs.
Maybe I'll try again tomorrow :)

Very nice!!! I loved the art style. I found myself wanting to rotate the camera to see more of the pretty grass :)

Congrats on a very good entry.

The game looks great and the aesthetics of it are really topnotch too. The concept is fantastic, though a little slow. Sometimes the character gets stuck endlessly running(until ofc you fall down a hole), but outside of that small issue this is pretty good!

Fun concept! Good graphics and tiled terrain destruction. The slow turning is a bit janky. Perhaps don't limit player control and only slow turn the mesh? The roll feels pretty good tho. Overall nice game!

WoW! Maybe this is not the most fun game to play in this Jam, but it definetly is the prettiest one so far!
Amazing atmosphere (Sound is great, even though you didn't do it yourself), graphics are just amazing! Very impressive in this short time.
The theme aswell was perfectly hit.

Great Job!

Such beautiful graphics! Very fun to play around in, the roll and character controller are very satisfying. Very impressed by the visuals

First off, this game is graphically beautiful! Good concepts but maybe a small tutorial might of been good to tell me what I was suppose to do exactly. I punched the big orange spores but was sure what to do beyond avoiding the darkness.

Still, a nice entry.

Wow, astounding graphics! It has a very strong atmosphere and fits the theme very well. Really great work!

The game somehow sucks in my cursor though and doesn't release it anymore... But that might be an individual bug

I love everything about this, the graphics, mechanics, smoothness of controls, its all great! I thought at first the world was generating infinetely with that nice looking blur in the distance :D Could be a nice beggining of a larger project with chapters of perhaps fighting off some actual enemies and then in other levels trying to avoid and stop decay of the world? Just imagining what it could potentially become in the future :) The basics are here and are great - I would only add more and more diverse content from now on if you are going to work on it in the future :) Fun game and great to just look at!

Graphics and mood were great! Movement felt good and responsive as well as throwing and attacking. I was not sure what to do or what my goal was but I do felt I'm delaying my inevitable fall to the underground.

I really enjoy the graphic style and the mysterious universe. The rigidity of the character movement is sometime annoying though but overall very fun game !

This game looked and sounded great but the first time I spawned I couldn't find the alien plants anywhere. I encountered some pretty sticky controls like I was never certain where the rightclick aim cursor would appear when I press rightclick and the aim cursor would get trapped maybe off the edge of the screen or underground after collapses, I'm not sure. I'd be stuck walking after escaping the darkness, I'd be stuck running from the start and so on.

Love it, beautiful visuals and feels great to play. Got sucked right in. Fascinated by how the darkness altered the environment, unique idea! Would love playing a continuation of this with a controller, well done you two

Graphics are awesome, idea great and as a programmer i think the code is really hard to write. Sound by the way good to. Verry nice game

this game is such a visual art! the ground getting destroyed is such a cool feature that doesn't sound easy to make, I really love this game. the only thing that is a bit of is how the attack direction feels off. but other than that this is really well done I love it

@joscco Thanks for the answer! I will look for the cause of the bug with the cursor. Maybe because of the browser... Thanks anyway)

What an awesome feel to the game, great visuals and background music. Like others have said, the ground getting destroyed seems very hard to execute, kudos!. Very minor thing that i can think to improve is to have some sort of mouse cursor/aim when not throwing things, to help keep the player oriented in terms mouse position. Well done.

I had trouble loading the game in Firefox... so I had to do something evil - boot up Edge :cold_sweat:

Very stunning visuals but I somehow didn't manage to "play" it.. walking, rolling and hitting was all possible, but no cursor and I didn't get how to aim.

Hey! I really enjoyed your game. The graphics are really cool and unique and I really like it that the light orbs are following you around.

Wow, the graphics and effects are so beautiful! Also I love the dark mood of the game. Although I wasn't sure where to go, I still had fun to explore the world. To give just one minor suggestion for improvement, maybe the player could be a bit more reactive for more precise control. But all in all great game!

Breathtaking.

While I wasn't sure what was going on in this game, I could appreciate its aspects.

The slashing felt amazing, running away from the darkness natural and rolling and running was satisfying!

I absolutely LOVE your art style, everything feels so polished! gameplay was pretty fun, I absolutely felt the futility after a few minutes, the entire map was filled with holes and I nearly fell to my death a half a dozen times. Good work

Love the scene setup and the art direction of the game. Would be cool to see the whole map once you died or completed it.

Here is my playtest:

Visually Stunning... remember me to Absolver that martial arts game.
World is very coeherent, animations are very good..

Very pretty nice job.
only think i would change is add more lore to it.

Pretty zen experience. I found the attack animations a bit unresponsive, and movement (particularly on controller) was sluggish, but I really like the premise of the game, and the aesthetic/mood was excellent! Great work :)
