Very relaxing. Except when you fall back to the start of the game accidentally. haha
I can attest that hole can be frustrating. Was one of the bits of QC we didn't get to touch before submission deadline. If we expand after, we definitely plan to be a bit more curated with the level design.
Amazingly executed, even though it was a bit frustrating to fall in the same hole over and over, this is a very calming and sweet game, both the graphics and music are extremely good. Great job! Fits the theme very well!
I personally love metroidvanias so this game was honestly really cool! The color changes were unique and the transformation throughout the game was fun. Keep up the good work!
Really fun game, I enjoyed the platforming and exploring the world. The art is also really great, and the music made for a pretty relaxing experience. I also liked how as you ate more your abilities changed to help you reach places you couldn't before, I thought the level design was super smart to accommodate for that. Overall this is a great submission, amazing work :)
I have some experience playing Metroidvania games, but this game is good and forgiving when it comes to infinite life since it's about facing Trial and Error until you pass certain obstacles.
-Music is relaxing,
-The controls are alright
- The pixel visuals are good
Thanks pol!
Wow, this is a very good game! I loved the idea and how you executed it! The art/animations are really nice and I find the level design really clever. The music and sound effects fitted the atmosphere quite well!
Thank you so much!
Really good game. The concept is pretty interesting, it's not as simple as it looks, and it's amazingly implemented! There were no FPS losses for me. I haven't finished it yet because some parts are really hard if you didn't eat enough before. You sometimes softlock yourself for the same reason. But overall, the game is incredible. I'll definitely finish it as soon as I have time :)
This was fun. like less violent Hallow Knight :)
Nice game
Really nice work, I got a lot of Rain World vibes from this game. Love the use of surface and sub-surface color palettes. I got stuck for a while as the bouncing butterfly until I realised I could jump through some trees. I got confused because another tree or wall that looks very similar bounced me down into a hole. In the end I got all 40 bites and I think you’ve done extremely well with this jam!
Thank you so much! We'll update the game with some QoL improvement asap :)
I like the original interpretation of the theme :)
The music, art and gameplay make it a great game!
cool game. this is a nice concept and the gameplay was very fun
Despite the simple idea, the game's sound effects, music, and art style helped you achieve a peaceful and enjoyable experience. I can tell your team communicated fluidly with each other because although you each worked on separate components of the game, they all meshed well together and created good vibes. I can tell a lot of effort was put into the player character as the movement felt fantastic and I loved the character evolution and abilities. I faced no FPS losses, at least on the web version that I tried. The only error I noticed was that I unlocked the ability of flight twice throughout the game, but it wasn't game-breaking so it didn't affect me. Overall I think this was an amazing entry and your team should be proud :)
Thank you so much for your feedback! We really appreciate it :)
This game has a lot of potential. The one things that had me docking was the fps losses (i am on a good computer so this shouldn't happen), and the lack of instructional direction. Cool game!
This game has very warm vibes, thanks to nice line-art with cleverly used palettes, and to melancholic background music. These transformations reminded my of the Little Nemo The Dream Master.
I would only wish for a more obvious difference between obstacles and background (sometimes you can't go through a tree, but sometimes you can), but fixing that may damage the art.
Very adorable game! I can tell it was put together very nicely with how smooth the movements are. 10/10!
EelShep, the pprogrammer, is a monster. Does great work.
Really nice game and atmosphere. Short but well thought out, would love to play a fully realized version one day.
really neat game my dude. really reminds me of knytt stories on general atmosphere for some reason
just gotta say, on the first climbing section, i didn't understand at all how to climb at first. seems like you need to press up two times? or maybe you just can't climb certain mushrooms?
Yeah, you can only climb the one mushroom tbh. The initial plan involved a bit more level design around climbing before you evolved to a butterfly, but scope happened. Thanks for playing and the nice comments!
Nice game with a cozy atmosphere! I love the serene music and the art is detailed even with the limited palette. I like how you switched the color palette between the aboveground and underground areas. Using the lifecycle of a caterpillar is a clever way to take on the theme. Nice job!
Thanks for the feedback! We've had plans to update a more detailed and polished art for the enemies and the environment but there's not much time to execute them all.
Beautiful game, I loved the animations!
Thank you so much! 😃
