A fun puzzle platformer with great ambience and style. This game feels like a warm hug and bit of loving tribute to previous generations of platformer games. The level design is intuitive, and I like the minimalist UI. The gameplay is forgiving and checkpoints are in just the right spot, but level layout will still keep you on your toes... enough to make you lean forward in your chair a bit on some jumps :) Plays well on controller, and has remappable controls on both input options. Even little things like the design of the loading animation and achievements tells you this was made with care. Honestly impressive water esthetics too (raindrops! water flow!).
I would have to say that i;m quite impressed with this build, love the atmosphere it creates and the concept of using a spirit to accomplish certain aspects of the game is genius. Great job everyone :)
Concise and relaxing game with lovely art and nicely designed levels. Would love to have plushies of the little cuties :3
Like many SMU Guildhall student (if I understand correctly these are student projects) games, this one is very good. The controls are enjoyable, mechanics are interesting, visuals are compelling. Highly recommended
I have skill issue and motion sickness (a little). Also collecting leaves with the minor platforming is... well known. PRetty impressive for a free game, though.
