Hey I'm not really sure how I stumbled back to this but I wish I had seen this in the jam, such an expressive piece and it was really interesting to see what would change every time I jumped :) Loved it!
Nice take on the theme. I think the idea of making a game where jumping into an infinite void is how you progress is interesting, and the parallel to the story comes across well. I genuinely liked the character and wanted to continue the dialogue. That's a hard thing to accomplish in my opinion! I'm glad you decided to jump and hope you continue to jump.
That was a nice little expressive piece with a lot of visual charm. Normally, I'd comment about the swearing detracting a bit from the ambience, but I can tell that this is a personally expression piece, so using what comes naturally seems like a good fit.
Is there supposed to be more after reaching the ground? (At least I think it's the ground. Vast gray expanse of terrain.
I love the musical ambience, too. Very nice and relaxing.
Thank you! The grey ground is actually for debugging and the players should never see it, I will try to fix it!
Just pushed an update, the grey ground hopefully should'nt appear anymore.
I just played the updated version to see the rest of the story. Even better the second time around, and I wish you the best of luck with your future developments. If this is anything to judge by, I think you'll do great!
Thank you, thats very sweet
Is there a way to lower the sense ig?
Not currently :/
It's a really good story, if you work hard you will do great things, just dont be afraid on jumping ;)
I simply cant finish the game, i'm sorry. I keep losing the trigger and just staying stuck never reaching the bottom. Maybe that's even a little bit philosophical tho...
I am sorry, thought I had squashed that bug. When does it happen? What is the last text prompt you have?
Just pushed an update, hopefully that fixed the problem for you!
You really packed so much into such a small and simple package. It has an amazing soundtrack that fits perfectly with this relatable and emotional story. Great job :)
Thank you! <3
