the art style on this was cool. I wish the level geometry looked as cool as the character and the many-eyed god

Just want to say I came back to this one and tried again. I was able to complete it. It's so beautiful. I love the character design especially, and the animations on the background character are gorgeous and original. The ending credits page really touched my heart, overall I think the presentation of this game is top notch. I was super impressed!

Ambiance is very cool ! Maybe the pink screen at the end of the timing is a bit too flashy !

I love the art style, and the character design ! You did a really good job with it !
My only problem is some kind of lack of visibility sometimes, but overall, the game is still pretty fun !

I like the gameplay and character design! the guardian saw me once but it didnt kill me. There can be a bug but I really like the theme!

That is one ominous looking deity! Great atmosphere, really makes you want to hide! I like the extra chance with your personal shadow, maybe even a bit too powerful that it recharges immediately in shadow! Great job, you should all be proud!

Great atmosphere and art. The platforming felt tight and responsive, but it was annoying having so many platforms above me catching me and slowing my momentum. I would have like the camera bit lower when I was jumping as there were multiple times when I wanted to jump to another platform, but missed it because the platform I wanted land on wasn't visible.

Thank you for your game. I think the idea is very interesting and I like the atmosphere. The dark and light theme with the angel in the background supports that.
The platforming mechanics are fairly simple, but work.
One thing I suggest for future games: Not seeing what is below yoo is something you should avoid. Right before the end is a section, where you don't see the plattforms you are supposed to jump unto. The background, which is not moving, doesn't help with that.
Aside from that, I think this is a good game and I had fun exploring it.

Really pretty game! The mood and graphics are nice and idea is super interesting! The mechanic adds a nice amount of challenge without beeing too frustrating since i think its very well designed. I agree with other comments that the camera could have been lower, but overall great job!

Really neat artwork! Interesting idea for a platformer too, would be neat to see more threats implemented into the game

The angel is very cool. The idea of shadow is also very good. I hope there are more archive points,I like it~

Really cool twist on the theme! And the art is amazing! Maybe some Game-Over UI scene would have been nice..

Cool, I just finished it! Great concept, with nice ambience and beautiful artwork too! Keep up the great work! Maybe it will be easier if adding some checkpoints.

Oh shit it's scary as hell!

Very nice game. Really like the character and angel type character. I thought having them change their eyes to indicate how close to the countdown was very well done and the platformer controls felt very smooth. I had a few scenarios where I waited for the timer it flashed and I left but got hit, though that might be me leaving too early after the timer resets. Solid entry overall
