Good design style. Kind of hart to jump correctly and to stop in time

Love the art style! The controls felt nice and responsive. Gameplay was fun, but there were certain areas that I just couldn't navigate through once I had the red and blue obstacles unlocked. Overall, a really cool submission. Well done!

@kromeboy Thanks for playing!

@tohubohu Thank you too, just for your information, some areas require a precise timing, but everything is doable :)

Amazing! Simple, nice and relaxing. Wish more levels

I absoluetly adore the vibe of this game. It's almost nostalgic. Like I was there before...great work!

Amazing game ! Beautiful platformer game ! The character is so cute ! Nice concept ! Congrats ! :clap:

Nice entry pal, really like your art style. Not good at platformer but this one was for my level xD. Keep it up !

The platforming got frustrating but I liked the character and environment.

With one word you could define this game: magnificent. The art is super well polished, the audio fits incredible with the gameplay, the concept is awesome and I've been very entertained, so much fun. The only """"bad"""" thing I can say if you allow me to say it, is that in certain areas I had a hard time going because there was little space to jump or stand on various platforms with spikes on the sides. But still, great job fellas! :D

I didn't complete it, but almost :v:

we like the simple and great graphic style. nice concept. good job !

Thanks for all your comments! The difficulty of the game has been a recurrent subject in our team during the jam. Some wanted it more accessible, and given some of your feedbacks, we should probably have listened to them...
Personally, I felt that the gameplay was sufficiently refined to offer some challenge, and provide a kind of speedrunnable replay value. Maybe we failed on this side. Level design is particularly hard to balance...

Amazing art style! The concept is very cool, it was interesting to go back to the same platforms and have to tread around them differently. I got all but half of the blue coins, it started getting a bit too hard then (well to be honest if I weren't playing many games for Ludum Dare then I'd have taken more time to finish the game). I'll say it again but I _really_ love the black and white lighting, the trees look amazing! Oh and maybe allowing to use the Up Arrow to jump would be nice too? But that's probably just me liking my inputs close to each other. Congratulations on shipping that game!

P.S. The music fits perfectly, but if you haven't composed it I don't think you should get audio ratings because of it right? Should I just rate the death sound?

P.P.S After your response I realized how much audio I had missed when first playing your game, so I upped your rating, I especially liked the sound made when new objects appear!

Really loved the art style! If I can give you an advice, please make the collision area smaller, sometimes is a little frustrating

Very nice art and animations! It's really fun and well made! Great job!

absolutely gorgeous, this is a brilliant entry. Some forgiveness metric for jumping as you leave a platform would make it feel a lot more forgiving http://kpulv.com/123/Platforming_Ledge_Forgiveness/

@lucien-catonnet Thanks for you detailed comment! Concerning the music, yes we didn't compose it, and we wondered too if we should allow the rating on audio...but as we made all the sounds (not only the death sound, but everything else), and spent a rather long time on it, we decided to include it in the notation. To be honest I don't know if it's legit...

@atraxgames thanks, next time we'll reduce the hitboxes ;)

@navrcl thanks you!

@bramreth thanks! Actually we implemented some forgiveness for jumping. Not forgiving enough maybe?

Great art style, and great concept. The fact that you can end the game at any time made for a very chill experience. Loved this entry !

great visual, but jump settings are pretty hardcore😬

Great level design and snappy controls. A bit complex when everything is unlocked. Great Job!

Wow, beautiful.

There were subtle touches that just made this extra cool: the wildlife eyes following & blinking at the player. The breathing motion of the spikes. The character design was really memorable.

I also loved the ambient audio, very easy to listen to even after some time and frustration (from dying to spikes :P)

For a wI was struggling with the controls and wasn't sure why ... then it hit me ... I struggled to reliably trigger a "short jump". I can do a "high jump" every time I hold down jump for long enough ... but the short jump doesn't always work (even if I quickly smash and release the jump buttom). That made some areas tricky but still doable. In some places it feels like hit boxes are just a _liiiitle_ bit off. For example I'd jump and visually seem to miss a spike but it would still kill me.

I thought the saving system is quite smart and innovative. It let me control points where I wanted to return.

Lovely atmospheric experience, congrats!

Wow, such a cool game! The monochrome graphics look amazing, and the title looks fantastic!

Reminds me Nitrome game about eye =)
Pretty cool visuals. Sound design weird. Dissonance with dark ambient and funny sounds. Beat the game anyway. The hardest place is at right top corner///

Great graphics and sound, really good controls and interesting take on the theme. I think level design needed more work/rethinking, platforms which are just a tiny bit out of reach to get back up to are really annoying, especially when you have to backtrack long non-challenging areas

As much as I really like the ability to finish with nothing, it would be a real shame not to try collect very first eye and see really nice art style! The atmosphere, the art, amazing and beautiful! Thank you for this experience.

Love the art style - super simple but also very polished :)

Really nice art style and controls. Mood of the game is perfect

Very well made and really polished game with an excellent concept and visuals. One thing I will say is that I just wish there was more than the standard end game screen for collecting all colors. Still a great game though.

Very nice interpretation of the theme! Really enjoyed art and mood of this a lot!

Best game i've seen for this ludum dare ! Amazing !

The art style and the atmosphere is really great. I am not a super fan of the controls, and was never able to get very far. Overall a pretty good jam game.

This is the game I gave the highest scores so far! It is perfect as a platformer (Controls and design). It fits the theme so well and it looks pretty.

Thank you for making this game. I really enjoyed playing it!

Loved your art and interpretation of the theme. It was good to be given options on how to end the game. I found jumping and landing a bit difficult and felt falling from heights was unforgiving apart from that I absolutely loved to play the game.

Pretty game! The controls were a bit floaty for my tastes, and I got pretty frustrated when I fell from a great height. The aimless collectathon is a bit barebones, I would have loved to see some sort of story (however minimal) or level breakpoints rather than one ending flag you report back to- I didn't feel like there was any reason for me to collect the coins.

Still, it's a lovely game!

Fun game, great implementation of the start with nothing cos that got really confused at first :P Love the graphcics :)

I agree with @selkkie on the collectible mechanics, felt a bit too pointless ^^. Either way, smooth art, the game felt very smooth!
Congratulations on a successful submission!

Gorgeous unique design, I love the paper background. Animations are great especially the apparitions on start. This is so neat, a perfect exemple of a simple but efficient jam creation. Love !

Nice little game! As it's already been said, the art direction and popping things works well.
On the control side, I was a bit frustrated and stopped after a couple of tries because of the character deceleration that wasn't fast enough to my taste for platform challenges.

Good entry, congrats for making a game :)

Amazingly tense atmosphere! The first runthrough seems nice enough, but once the spikes started to appear, I resented those glaring bunnys and bats. The difficulty ramps up quite sharply with the last obstacle, but it's doable and I felt motivated to beat the game with all four colors. Beautiful monochrome graphics, super clean and clear sound effects and a great choice of ambient music. It all comes together perfectly.

Lovely game! Amazing art style and animations. Good level design
Congrats! Here my top ratings

Really like how the game is set up and the art is really simple but nice. It goes perfectly with the theme. The controls are a bit too smooth, so I sometimes ended up sliding off a platform but its still nice. love the music, it goes well with the environment. The subtle touch of making the objects with eye look at you all the time is really nice. Well done!! :smile:

Really like the graphics and the use of Ø hehe. Like how the world got more more color the more unlocks you found.

Fantastic Game - I assume øje means little eye in some north germanic language ?

graphics are beautiful, good game but I don't really understand what you unlock when you take the "eyes".. More explication would be nice

So... I really loved the art style and the sound design, the platformer part was also good but so frustrating. Some part of the level are really nerve breaking and I almost quit, until I accidentally miss click on start witch nothing u_u. Anyway still one of the best game from this ludum :)

Great game. Love the b/w art. Music adds just enough. I did fall into the walls a couple time, fyi, but it let me just go on and didn't crash.

Wow, what an amazing game, made me want to play nonstop, delicious level design and refined art, great use for the time of a jam, congratulations !!!

Great entry! Really fits the theme. I need to go and to collect the other "eyes"... Great work!

Love the look of the game. The characters are super cute. The eerie background music is very nice. The platforming aspect and level design is so-so in my opinion. It's hard to know where to go next and I'd also try to remove the character acceleration, which is hard to get used to. But fine entry nonetheless!

Looks great, nice sound - a bit difficult for me, i really like the character animation - well done!

Really excellent game, very minimalist in design which looks great! 4.5/5

Beautiful, moody game with great art and sound! I'm really amazed. Great work! :smiley:

Waw... What a game.. I love the artstyle and the sounds! Good Job!!

Interesting game.
I liked the idea and enjoyed playing.
Could you add a while in game orb count?
There is a bug where you glitch through the wall after respawning.

Really nice artwork, loved the artstyle. But I found the platforming extremely difficult in some areas as it was very fiddly and felt like some coins could only be collected if you jumped or moved for an exact number of frames, or were in an exact position. But I really liked the mood of this.

Lovely atmosphere and mood! The audio is superb and complemented by the nice minimalistic art. Well-polished game. I wish that there is a counter for the game orbs.

I literally love this game, i tried to speedrun it but i... kind of raged a bit... still a really nice game, keep up the good work, 5 stars for graphics and the audio

Artstyle, music, design, all amazing. But some parts of the game was honestly rage inducing... especially the last area if you miss a few coins on the drop down and trigger the flag.

[edit] Was also hoping for some special ending for getting 20/20 on all colours

This was really cool! The color twist was super unexpected for me, and a really clever way of using your game space to your advantage! The art and audio is also really great.

I would have liked the save points to be a bit more visible, and I'm not sure what I think about the fact that you have to gather the coins again if you die before saving. It still works, but I think I would have liked the save points to only act as respawn points, and all coins collected are always kept, it might help the flow.

My other grievence is the character controls, it's just on the slippery side to feel frustrating for a game with precision platforming.

I still had a great time, didn't 100% it, but I bet that would be a fun experience! Great job on the submission!

I'm not good in platformers, so I have not finished the game, though many times tried.

Art, music is just excellent. This is one of the best games I've seen on the Ludum Dare.

Super good take on the theme, you actually manage to make smtg out of it!

It's fantastic to see that you made layered level design and it would have been more awesome with layered music that pops out one by one as we get more plateforms and ennmies.

Amazing art style!

Can't launch the game "Start" button isnt worked! (Mozilla)

i love art style !
I discover restart with something option in the late ;)
Maybe add in echap option menu , very usefull when you fall down after a checkpoint
Solid entry anyway

Beautiful art. The ambient track is very soothing. Good job :thumbsup:

Good job! Also wish to see counters what I collect in game too

Very cool idea! I got stuck at this tight staircase with pink spikes and the blue things.

Nice project. The artstyle was crisp and unique, and I appreciated the subtle animation on the player's cloak, and the way the trees sprout from the ground. The game has a really chill atmosphere which I dug.

Very impressive game. You have really followed through a good concept with the perfect art. The map is so big that a minimap or pickup pointer would have reduced the amount of random walking.

A lonely eyeball in a windy landscape. Very moody. You nailed the audio category. Good job.

An alright game, but please stop spamming the main feed and go rate other games instead if you want more øjes on yours...

Really good game with a strange mood and a minimalist aesthetic. Good use of the theme ++

Excellent game! Being able to end the game at any time is an interesting dynamic and almost makes you want to try everything first. There were some other games with similar approach to the theme, but this was definitely one of the best. The platforming felt smooth and responsive, and the visuals were outstanding. The sound also set the mysterious mood very well - great job!

v goooood

I enjoyed a lot the mood of the game, the graphics and this minimalist musical ambience were great. Good job !

Beautiful art and sound! It is simple and fun to play.

On the design side, I guess the player can use a little more context for exploration... E.g. when I'm standing on the high platform on the left and deciding should I move forward (maybe I can't get back where I came from - how do I know?) or get back to the right and explore more (maybe I missed something there?). However, I'm struggling to understand how that can be done within that particular design (should it be some notion of progress on directions? Or some kind of map?)

Very nice artstyle, cool game.

Great artstyle. Sometimes super hard platforming. Also great music - reminded me ambient from Fallout 1 and 2.

A brilliant game. Everything from the art, to the feel, to the gameplay was top notch. I really love how you're building up your level, and can choose to win the game early at any point. And also how you can restart with nothing, and destroy all your creation. If there was one thing I didn't like, however, it was that some parts felt quite frustrating and annoying. Especially accidentally hitting a lower checkpoint, or some of the platforming requirement minute accuracy. Overall though, a beautiful well done game!

Very cool minimalistic art style. 5 points for that! Also the idea of generating the world around is also nice.

Love the art and the ambient sounds. The idea and use of the theme is also great. I really wanted to finish this one but after being stuck on one part for a bit too long (upper right), frustration finally got me. Still really cool!

Brilliant use of the theme. Art style, simple and awesome. Not a big fan of the loose/floaty controls, though. It was really hard to keep the character out of the red spikes near jumping and landing points. I'm...divided on whether ending the game whenever you want is a good thing. It's novel and all, but I think leading the player somehow from one thing to the next would have helped, some progressiveness to the whole thing. It's really annoying to fall all the way to the bottom from the top platforms and then grind it only to fall down again. That made me give up at the end and just go to the flag xD

Also..I'm not sure what the orange(yellow?) eye did aside from bringing more coins.

@gaz-ireland it does in Danish at least :wink:

Only thing that I find a bit "annoying" .. you push and push marketing for your own game... But only did 13 ratings yourself - impressive that you've gotten a 100+ ratings despite that

I loved the way the level builds up. Really a very good use of the theme. What I liked most was the Art. Very simple and very beautiful. Congratulations!

This is our game:

So simple, so amazing ! Great game. The SFX's bring a really good mood. Just a little suggestion : the player is always centered on screen and so the camera is always moving. This gives an unecesseray difficulty. By just adding a safe zone on screen after which the camera is really moving, you could improve your game. Thank you very much for your game

Great game. Lovely level design. I did get stuck on one part because I grabbed the blue orb before I grabbed the pink orb, but it was no problem restarting and grabbing the pink first. I think the jump is the clear winner here; it is perfectly smooth. Well done overall.

very nice game! Audio was good and the platforming was challenging and well designed.

Beautiful graphics and audio. I liked the ambient background noise which isnt too intrusive, works better than a musical track. I think it would be nice to have some incentive to collect everything, and perhaps some instructions as to the objective of the game? Might give players a reason to see it through to the end. Nice work!

I think this could be easily the best game of the jam. No words. Everything is amazing. From beginning to end. One thing, yellow coins do not spawn something?

absolutely phenomenal art! some of the best i've seen this jam. gameplay is a little confusing however, but still very fun and interesting. good work!

Wonderful art guys, love it!

Very stylish art, animations and sounds are on point. Did not like the tediousness of coming back up each time you fell

Wow this is a really interesting game, the way everything unfolds as you progress, and how the world becomes more difficult as you move along is really well done. Great work overall!
