Hello! I'd like to say playing this game was cool an very interesting! I love the top down view a lot, it makes it feel 3d an surrounded, and the use of dark an light simple colours are just beautiful, Great work! :)

Absolutely beautiful game, I loved the sentiment of the "story". It's such good quality, only problem is the length. However, you had three days to make this, and it is clear that quality was prioritised over amount of content. This game was a great experience, even the itch.io page looks incredible.

Really pretty and atmospheric game, the only major complaint would be it's short but given you only had three days I don't think that applies (I would love to play more).

What a unique style! The audio and visuals created a very emotional experience that's hard to describe. Very, very well done.

Very impressive visually, looks like ps1-era artifacting but on sprite work and the orb shaped world (or barrel shaped?). Really like the overall aesthetic and atmosphere it gives off

Awesome atmosphere and perspective effect!

Fantastic atmosphere, I feel like the mechanics for dying aren't very intuitive and I found myself sprinting past the text because of some unseen force that kept killing me.

Really beautiful game! I loved the mood and aesthetic, the pixel art, aspect ratio, the changing perspective, all of it was really wonderful!

Liked the smart design and use of lights/shadows.
Got a little lost while playing a couple times but didnt take long to find the way.

Really like the mood! The effect from the perspective with the rising trees/pillars walls is amazing. So Serene. Also, WAS THAT A MONKEY? just before the bridge? I HAVE TO KNOW!!

Really beautiful work. The top down foreshortening really gives a feeling that you're picking up and interacting with a toy or a snow globe. The sound design is delightful. One tiny thing in the gameplay is it's frustrating getting caught on level geometry but that only stuck out because the rest of the game is so seemless. Great job!

The visuals are absolutely terrific, and the lack of sound actually plays into the mood quite nicely. The only problem for me is that the emotional impact wasnt quite as hard as I hoped, not sure why.

Nonetheless, a really good entry
