Introduction:
"There once was an ancient civilization that filled the lands with its beautiful architecture and lived in peace with Nymphs—little spirits that protected the nature of this world. But all things must come to pass…
Centuries later, our Main Character awakens from a deep slumber, only to find herself in an unknown place, unable to remember her own name. So now, she must step into this world, lift the veil of the forgotten, and discover unknown mysteries."

Description:
“Veil of the Forgotten” is a 2D platformer game focused on overcoming obstacles using special skills (some still not present) granted to us by the little nymphs. The goal of the game is to find two runes that will help the character move on to the next level of the game and explore different areas and biomes of this world while uncovering hidden secrets.

Future ideas:
-More levels;
-Two more biomes;
-New fun mechanics;
-Story and interaction with the characters;
-More polished and detailed graphics​.

I love the concept, the levels were fun and not too easy! I liked the small detail of the moving background as well!

Very nice art!

But it's not obvious that the player should press twice W or space to jump higher. Also, returning to the menu is impossible without reloading the page, that's a little frustrating.

@mymdz thanks for feedback , we will fix bugs and improve the game in future 🫡

I love the design, and the synergy between it and the music is perfect! It creates a very pleasant atmosphere. Well done!

Neat entry, loved the visual design and the music. I feel like the game occasionally ate my jump input when trying to jump immediately after landing. Buffering the input for a short time could a long way to make the controls feel more responsive IMO.

Nice art style :)

I love the character design! The forest is also beautiful.

I recorded myself playing the game, and I bring it up in the video, but there's a section with a "blind jump" where the player is required to move downwards, but the floor they need to land on is off screen. My biggest piece of feedback is to always make sure the player can see where they are trying to move the character in a platforming game.

And here's the recording! Cheers!

This game has potential. I hope there will be a sequel.
I really like the character's style. However, the background is sometimes pixelated and it stops abruptly.
Too bad there is only one functional nymph.

Very beautiful and atmospheric game!
LDJam user 23334712 Oct 2024, 20:41
Love the atmosphere with the ambience / background music. occasionally i had issues where jumping didn't work, but that could very well be me due to W and Space mashing :laughing:

This was fun! Sometimes the backgrounds flickered a bit, but other than that it is a very nice game! Good job! :)

@100th-coin thx man it's was our first game and jam experience, we are new to this and i tried to make the second one (the beetle) to be collected and then you can create pillars but we almost ran out of time so it was a quick solution, the wizard is the character what should appear after the 2nd lvl and tell you something about the lore.
And thanks for feedback from someone with 7 ears of ldjam experience we plan on developing the game further

Btw you got a handsome voice

Beautifull game, the controls stayed as ZQSD x) but i understood directly. Need more difficulties but it's a nice cute journey ;)
M1FEX16 Oct 2024, 17:04
Thanks for feedback @leykal , the game will be more difficult and also it will have a great story 🙈
Ale_x19 Oct 2024, 22:54
@valmontechno thank you. It was our first game ever, and I was the only one working on graphics and I didnt know how to make the background to work well, so we didnt really have time. but still we plan to continue the game and remove all these problems. Also the 2nd nymph scarab was supposed to work as well, but again, we didnt have time((

I liked the idea of collecting bugs to gain special abilities and the graphics are unique. Prompts to the team for their progress, we'll wait for the release of new levels))
