I love the art style of this game, but when you're first dropped in it gives little information on were to go, and there are a few areas with finicky collision, besides that it's a superb game.

@fallingflatstudios Thanks so much man! I was responsible for the art and audio, but yeah its all a little bit janky since we spent too much time on the vizdev of the tree area lol.

It's a short game with lovely art, I like the very beginning of the game, when you need to go through level using sound waves. But it needs some polishing

Really nice short and sweet game. Great ideas, and good looking art! Thanks so much for bringing it by the stream!

I got stuck at the tree because I wasn't able to jump, but really loved the atmosphere of the game. The effect from changing to the grayscale to color was also really cool.

What a cool entry! This has a very imaginative way of navigating your surroundings. It's such a cool mechanic, and I could see it being extrapolated into a full title. The graphics and audio give this game such a dark feeling, and I would give it 6 stars for mood if I could.
Great game!

@ropedog I’ve been trying to convince my programmer but he is pretty dead set on making something in 3D lol
