Really cool game!, played it all and some time in the endless version. Love the mechanic and the levels where not hard yet really fun. Also the whole aesthetic and music/sfx are great too!
Definitely a unique control for a platformer. My only complaint is that you use the left stick for control instead of the D-pad; that makes twitch moves harder to pull off in the bonus stages than they should be.
bro this is so awesome!! i had to wait 5-7 minutes to wait before it loaded because i am in a potato pc but i don't regret waiting . this monstrosity is flippin' awesome !!!
Hiiii! I played this game a few months ago and really liked it, but I had to delete it. Today I downloaded it again and while playing I got an error and wanted to let you know about that. Here is the error message I got:
Had a really great time trying this! The mechanic did a great job of slowly ramping up so it never felt too complicated or tough. Still not fully sure though how I accomplished some of these where I swear I hit a wall but it still launched me, but I'll take it!
Graphics look great, my goodness the music took me by surprise and I loved it! I did beat the main game while I was recording, but thinking I want to try some of the bonuses on a stream sometime! Took a look at the first one and I feel like I'm gonna need a stream to beat them with how hard they seem X)
Figured I'd just poke at this out of curiosity, but ended up beating the whole demo in my browser, lol! This is an immediately fun game with a lot of potential for expansion!
It's been so long since a platformer has gotten me as excited as this game has; I usually leave the review for the second and third paragraph, but before reading on and if you're able to, play this game. Right now. (If you can't, want to read the review first, or just want to watch someone else do it, that's totally fine too)
Regular platforming movement aside, this game's gimmick is that you're able to release your "soul" in order to propel yourself in the direction that it ends facing in; the soul (which is released facing upwards upon use) can be turned left and right, and either once it reaches a certain distance from the player or if the player uses the soul button again after release, they are sent with both the momentum and angle of direction of the soul. At face value, this sounds like a more difficult to control version of double jumping and dashing, but the amount of freedom you get from choosing where and how hard you get through in certain angles makes this game feel extremely liberating. While the base game is easy enough to where you don't have to focus on micromanaging your momentum and shot angle, the 5 bonus levels make extreme use of these concepts, making even a slight angle difference cost you half a level's worth of progress. Add onto this some amazing music and pleasing visuals, and you have yourself a masterful game that will test your patience and skill.
There weren't any glitches that I could find on my two playthroughs of the game, but I will say this: the bonus stages are difficult. Really difficult. This game doesn't hold your hand in teaching how your soul can be sent vertically on release, nor about the minute angle differences. Every jump and level is possible (there are even stages that can be done a few different ways), so keep trying and experiment with aiming your soul. By far the hardest level was Bonus Stage 4, if you're curious :)
All in all, this game needs an official full release. It's a beautiful love letter to the platformer genre, and I can't wait to hopefully see it receive a massive update!
god damn, was not expecting to get in and immediately start vibing. the gameplay is fantastic and the music and graphics suit it so well. i had a blast playing this. may or may not be jammin' to the ost for a while…

Holy shit this rules
I LOVE THIS
COOL AF
i was not expecting a game this cool.
I loved your game and I made a gameplay on my channel
This is really good!
I know everyone is going to say this, but the soundtrack is amazing.
The gameplay (although hard) is fair and it's easy to see where I fail a challenge so that I can try again confident.
It's a well designed game.
absolute banger of a soundtrack
I was not supposed to spend my entire week on this game.
it was made for you
one of the best free games I have ever played I have been playing this for hours
Great game! really caught me. I wasn't looking to play anything, just browsing but this game pulled me in immediately
Glad to hear it!
Idk why, but this game is by far one of my favorite games. the soundtrack, the color scheme, EVERYTHING is just perfect...
Thanks :)
Just finished the final challenge level. This was great! Well done!

Very fun and innovative concept. Keep up the great work!
holy crap these bonus levels are hard but i finished the first one (edit) and the second one
and really nice and fun game gj
plus i got a score of around 20 on endless
(edit: 42 lol)
found a good pattern so you don't run out of orbs
I tried speedrunning it and got 3:15. This was a lot better than I thought it would be especially considering it originally took me half an hour.
Apparently people can go as fast as 1:15!
I feel like this is a new skill I need to hone.

cool game made me feel like a farmer

I don't believe that I have been as hopeful for the future of a platformer since celeste. What an amazing little demo I wish you all the best of luck!
I am an endless mode enjoyer
me too!
i beat 95% of the game because of bonus levels
95?

My Playthrough:
Thank you for the thoughtful review!
this game is actually amazing, but the bonus levels are way to hard for me
Even though this is now my kind of game genre. I got totaly hooked by the gameplay. Nice work!
god damn, was not expecting to get in and immediately start vibing. the gameplay is fantastic and the music and graphics suit it so well. i had a blast playing this. may or may not be jammin' to the ost for a while…
a solid 9/10 from my dog
Simply amazing! Feels good to play. The music and sound effect are great!
