Very cool aesthetic and mood. Took me a moment to figure out you can drop the pot and make the enemies ignore you.

@a-312 Thanks for the feedback! I fixed it, the Game Over title was there but it was using the wrong animation... :sweat_smile:

The mood, graphics, and sound were all fantastic. I wish the enemies/game had a little bit more depth and the jumping was a bit more responsive. I think you accomplished a lot in the compo and really did good with the sound effects especially that glorious light sound.

Well Made! I like the art, audio and mood. Congrats!

My favourite game of Ludum Dare 46 so far! The atmospheric soundtrack und dark graphics remind me of Limbo. The difficulty is also very good balanced. It was challenging and and often very close but winable without having played it a hundred times before.

Neat. It worked ok on the web for me. I like the check-point / charge mechanic. Good stuff.

Wow you did a great job setting the mood! Beauty in simplicity for sure. It worked for me on web? I am not sure why others had issues or if you made updates. I am using Chrome is that helps anyone in the future!

The web version worked for me! I enjoyed the game. I really liked the mood, very Limbo/INSIDE-esque.

Nice art and simple game, very good. I find it odd you used the space bar for picking up an object though, since im used to that being for jumping.

A charming style! I liked the sound design as well. I felt the enemies did not wander far enough for me to be able to wait them out. Also it'd been awesome if the plant started growing at the end, it would be a great payoff.

Great ambiance! Enjoyed the art style and music. The platforming was good, but there were a couple of hiccups with the character controller. There were a couple spots where I could not jump (likely not registering I was grounded), and at the beginning if you go left you cannot jump off the slope and have to wait to slide down.

Overall it was a good game, and this incorporated the theme well.

What a nice little platform game, beautiful and minimalist, good job on the audio as well. It added to the mood and the user experience :)

Really enjoyed the ambient noises and the overall mood of the game. The game itself was short but sweet, and I liked the dark aesthetic that you had going on. Nice work!
