Welcome to Nekawa, discover our particular universe we so proud of.

  • You should know that there is a double jump (scale on release) before you test it.
  • The Project is a demo of where we wanted the game to go. We are excited to see we managed to create a game from a simple idea we can developp and maybe make an entire game from it if we dig further.

Enjoy 🥰

WebGL version available ! - Some shaders display weird, so we recommand to download the game if you can for a better experience

Thanks for your feedbacks ! - Update 1.1 :

  • Disable ingame mouse cursor
  • Adding UI with Quit option
  • Adding an ending

The art at show is good, and when mixed with the audio it's definitely a nice mood to run around in. I really like the 'twist' if you can call it that. Great work :)

Looks super cute! Constantly experiencing the same dream again and again :cherry_blossom: There should be a way to lock the cursor using `Screen.lockCursor` or similar solution that would help with the camera control.

Very realxing to play, like the concept, would be very convinient to have an webGL export and i think a lot more people would play this awsome game if youve included that. Other than that very good game.

I was really astonished. The game is very pretty and has something soothing about it. I also found it funny that you woke up in the night when you "died". At first I didn't realize that there was a double jump. Great game!

This game is BEAUTIFUL! Wow wow wow for the art. The audio also set a great mood, and the controls played very smoothly.

The only thing I'm confused on was the flow of the game. Exploration platformer, and when I fall I wake up, then going back to sleep lets me play again? I think I got to the 3rd ghosty guy and then when I died, I stayed awake. I'm just not clear if that's the end of the game or what. So advice for next jam, try to make it obvious for dummies like me when I've done something good/bad and when I've reached a goal or have more to do. Currently I have no idea if I reached the end of your game or only saw 10% of it. I had a good time either way, very relaxing!

Beautiful game! As previously stated, you should hide/lock the cursor, it's a bit disorienting to have the cursor moving but not being useful. Also, it took a bit to figure out that there are double jump and dash commands. But extremely good landscape work, and the theme is very calming. Well done!

Lovely atmosphere and music. Waking up from a dream is a nice twist. I really like it!

Cool vibes! Managed to leave the main bounds of the game and cheat my way to the end (the intended path seems a lot harder lol)

Nice relaxing atmosphere! There is a bug where if you press against the wall and press W you can slide up slowly.

Great game!

Great game, lovely graphics and sounds that make a give a real atmosphere to the game.
Was a bit lost at start, don't know what to do or where to go, the first part is more complicated than the rest of the game, i used some "wall walk" to pass some jump at the begining, and i was not sure that was the goal.
Still well done ! :)

I love the art, it's amazing, and with music they create a great atmoshpere! As for the gameplay, I wasn't sure what I'm supposed to do, I explored the map and chilled a bit there. Cool entry!

Thanks for all your feedbacks we are still working on it cause we love the ideas we had and want to continue the game with more features, levels and huge improvements can't wait to show what the game will be in 6 months.

We wanted to make a twist but the short time made that harder than we thought but i'm glad you understood what was happening @jamieok

We didn't saw that at first but thanks to you we fixed it ! @icxon

The game was to big to be navigatored but we are working on it @greenpig

It has an end but it was not really understandable, we update that and put a message at the end so the people can understand what is happening, but of course it's temporarily untill we work to developp it deeper @akitl

If we had more than 72hours ahha, thanks for the feedback we are working on the game so maybe in 6month it will be a banger ! @mhorth

We are working on it so you can't do that anymores, cheaters! Haha @milan8890 @rashcan

Yeah the game is still in developpment and need more and more time to be good and understandable, but we are glad that we made that in only 72hours @leom @suchista

We need to make a mini tutorial scene or something we will think of that thank you @sir-syko

Thank you also to @izerkgodd @lecloow7 @she-wrote

The ambiance and universe is really good! The control are a little "bleak" and it's a little hard to know what is "the right pass" from just decor/background, but it's really lovely and the game over who is just a wake up is a really good idea!
I'm a little circomplex about the white figure and what it is supposed to be, but I like the game in the overall! Congrats for making it in so little time!

By exploiting the 'w' keyboard bug, I managed to come here! Sadly when I tried to explore further, I accidentally fell into the void... (a checkpoint would be nice). Overall, nice world and music, I look forward to the game!

Beautiful game, the art and the soundtrack is very... well, dreamy :blush:
I couldn't do much more than explore and wake a few times, even knowing about the double jump. Am I missing something? Anyway, it's a very beautiful entry, good luck on future versions of it! :hearts:

Very beautiful and atmospheric! Nice character and shaders. This style works really well with this type of simplicity so good choice. Unfortunately I had to wall surf one of the jumps, I just couldn't make it haha
The graphics, sounds, mood is what brings it home, nice entry!
