W GAME The forest music is really good, feels like something out of a ghibli film Bit rough around the edges as of writing this since it just came out, but even with that it's still a really fun experience. Good job guys!
Great little game with some real heart and soul put into it.
Got to know this game from UW game dev club. It is small but very niche. I like the Irene boss fight. Very cool animation. Just need to find the other secret bosses to conclude the game. May still need some polishing. e.g. the seaweed kraken boss fight and the fluffy platformer felt clunky. The healing seed feels too strong. Also final boss feels a bit weak comparing to the other ones.
This is such an amazing game. Amazing music and bosses and levels. It has some minor bugs, but this review is being made the day after release
Loved the game ever since the demo 10/10 story
the game is very very cutesy and I like that, though it doesn't come without flaws. ~The Lag~ the lag in some cases is bad like REALLY BAD (maybe it's because I'm on a lower end device but I have tried tweaking with settings and it doesn't fix it but I'll get to settings later) when you attacked and yet get hit at the same time the game just semi freezes, like the animations of the background and such are still moving but you and your enemies are frozen and it either you can waiting for what feels a while or just quit the game and come back to the game (which means resetting the entire level) but that's not even the worst case of it. When you're fighting Solace is lags a little bit but the lag is tolerable and you can still play decently well while fighting Solace. The real problem with this is when you're fighting Irene, her second phase darkens the entire screen and the dark clouds make my game lag to unbearable degrees, I can't even properly fight her in her second phase becaus...
This game was a short and sweet ride! A worthy play for people who like platformers!
very short, but also quite good.
Fun little game! Not sure if there was a mode that was supposed to unlock after defeating the final boss but If there was id suggest yall look into that Also the moving platforms in the Billowing snow area needs some tweaking, it would register the character as falling and it was difficult to get around that lol
