I really liked the art-style and music! I'd definitely want to see the game fleshed out a little bit more, but at least for the first stage, things meshed well!

The art and music are nice, but I couldn't figure out where I was supposed to go.

Really great art. I adore the character and the environment. I think it would be cool change if the character was pixelated like the background. I would remap the controls to not 1 and 2 so they are easier to press. It's a little hard to tell what you will collide with in the environment. Would be cool to see this expanded. Great job!

Great music and atmosphere. Cute character.
a bit of Yomawari flavour.You've done a good job.

by the way, I've written a poster about embedding unity games, which can be found on my homepage. Hope it helps!

the art style and music really create an amazing atmosphere for the game! the game was overall great, especially for a 72 hr game jam. i would've appreciated having the extended vision for maybe another second or so just because it was very difficult to see the map :crying_cat_face: but great job!! :yellow_heart: :smile:

interesting concept, but game lacks polish.

movement feel sticky (some input lag), level is hard to navigate, and game is not really fun.

also... where theme? 10 seconds?

Damn really reminded me of some old jrpgs I've played in the past, especially "Angels of Death".
Props to the art team!

Nice idea.

Feels like you wanted to add a flash light but didn't get it in time? As the main character holds a flashlight but it's not turned on. Or maybe you need to find the batteries.

Sadly couldn't find out as I got a lot stucked an died ☹

Like the graphics and animation.

Would be nice to obscure the player when he's behind the objects.
