Dash should work with 'j'. But you need to get to the point in the game where it's unlocked :) Until that point you need to get through without it. But it's possible ^^ Let me know, if it worked!
If its locked you should somehow communicate it to player :), otherwise it looks like something is wrong. Also you should have main menu under Esc it's a expected behavior. I've played it about 10 minutes and uninstalled. Wish you good luck with it, but don't plan to play it further. If i had time i still have Ori and three parts of Trine to finish :)
Started playing it tonight. Pretty tight controls, although I am not sure they respond all the time. It could be I am just panicking and mashing buttons. I like the art, too. Gives me kind of a Studio Ghibli vibe.
Cool! Nice art. I like the vibe going on. If you really want to polish it, it would be cool to have some more parallax layers so it's a bit less flat, and maybe some sway on the vines and such.
As others have mentioned, it would be really nice to have key binding. I'd like to swap my jump and dash keys. The spikes have a very large hitbox and sometimes you hit them when moving away. Celeste actually checks your direction and only kills you if you move toward them, so that might be a nice quality of life tweak.
Some bugs I noticed: Sometimes the run animation gets stuck on when you stop (or at least freezes in a run frame). If you jump up to the top and move left, you can jump off into oblivion and fall forever. In full screen mode, I crash when I alt-tab out then back again.
Level design and checkpoint placement seem very fair so far (haven't finished it yet, as I just jumped into the void and figured I'd post some feedback).
Visuals are simply amazing. But the controls, not so much. Also the colliders of the spikes and all seem to be too accurate, Usually is slightly smaller than the collider so that the player has a chance to see what happened(How the player was killed in this case). Maybe this was intended.
Personally the controls are what bummed me out the most. Still tho amazing visuals good job!
I like the concept, but 2 things make this game not worth more than free, at least for now : -no menu, impossible to pause the game, change key mappings, or get access to settings like sound. -the controls are very clunky, especially the wall jump. You need to be pressing left to wall jump to the right and vice-versa. This goes against instinct : press left to go left
If all this was fixed, i would have enjoyed this game much more and maybe even finished it. As is, selling this would only bring bad rep, as many would probably feel a bit cheated that they paid for a worse platformer than some of the free ones out there.
Lovely little game with awesome levels and art! Nice job, wish you the best luck to hit the milestone! ^^
One question though: Why isn't there a main menu to pause the game, and the option to exit it? Shouldn't be too hard to implement, and sometimes one needs to catch a quick breath in between all the harder passages (*sweaty palms*) to get the speed running right ;)
Thanks for the nice words :) A menu is the very first thing on our list for an update. Sadly our programmer is very busy atm so it will probably take some time until that will be implemented.
A menu and the option to continue your previous game would be welcome. I'm a decent gamer but apparently not that good in platformers, I need breaks :D
Art - 8/10 super good. Style and theming all on point
Sound - 5 / 10 nothing stands out as good or bad
Gameplay.... 3 / 10, Honestly feels pretty bad. I've made better feeling character movement in tutorial projects, and I'm not a game dev by any means. Biggest shortcoming of this game TBH, clunky animations and stiff movement makes for a jarring experience and contrasts the otherwise BEAUTIFUL feel of this game really poorly.
Story - honestly didn't manage to play long enough to tell if there was a story or not
I'd say as a free game it's a 4 or 5 / 10, but it doesn't feel polished enough to sell to someone
you just got a dash! when you're playing on a keyboard press j to dash. also you can use wasd to direct the dash. so in this case try to dash up :) good luck!
Well, there is no double jump ;) However you'll get a dash. k=jump, j=dash, use wasd to control the dash. you can also go vertically. hope that helps! :

Congratulations on getting it on Steam!!! :DDD
Thank you!! : D We are very excited :)
Dash (j) does not work, and there seems to be no way to close the app other then the Alt F4. But it looks nice.

The Esc function will be in the new version that comes to steam. Thanks for the feedback! It's always apprechiatet :)

Beautiful!
Thank you very much!
looks beautiful (my first comment on this app is for compliment to ya)

Please More platforms like Linux or Mac
Yes, as a Linux user I second this :o)
I'm running Manjaro/gnome: It runs fine under 'WINE'. Plokoth also does not need 'installing', just unpack the .zip and run plokoth.exe with WINE.
My 'WINE' environment got installed when I installed 'lutris'.
My first impressions: Art is amazing, Lots of opportunities for the gameplay ; ) ..
Visuals are simply amazing. But the controls, not so much. Also the colliders of the spikes and all seem to be too accurate, Usually is slightly smaller than the collider so that the player has a chance to see what happened(How the player was killed in this case). Maybe this was intended.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! :)
This looks promising!
It looks like the pitch was "Celeste in Ori's world", which is nice, but a liiiittle bit obvious for now.
But instance, I would dig Samuel "Bill Cone-esque" sense of colour to add a unique twist to it.
Also, because you all seem to draw, I would add more cinematics (I know it's time consuming but...)
And I agree with the others, I would spend more time on the controls.
I wish you good luck!

i probably would like the game more if it wasn't just a blatant rip-off of celeste. still a fun game though.
I wish it worked on mac

This really looks like Ori and the Blind forest, I'll try it.
Looks nice, feels nice. Very great job.
Can't change the key bindings...
if you have a bad pc the game might freeze your whole pc. Just a heads up! Great game thou! Lovely graphics

The level design looks like Ori and The Blind Forrest. Cool
I like the level design and graphics but honestly my left hand aches right now
I finished the game in 9 minutes in Arcade Mode!
And I found a bug as you can see in video at 6:10. There was no place to go. After death the next scene appeared!
Awesome, you were pretty fast!! Oh, that sucks - usually the scene loads faster.
Thanks! I really enjoyed the game!

Very cool! Awesome that it is released under the LGPLv3 with CC BY assets. Can you tell us where the code/asset repository is?
no les recuerda un poco ah hollow knight
Very nice! I shared it on Twitter! Looking forward to seeing more of it.
Thanks so much! :)
This was as brutal as it was beautiful and I loved every single second of it (even though I also hated it at the same time!) Really great job!!
Thanks a lot!! ;)
Why dont work with gamepad ?? How i do to game exit ??
Its a shame I cant play this on Mac, it looks like such a wonderful game!
art is best
#ori and the blind forest
How do I get up There?
Also: I don't understand the drawing on the rock..
you just got a dash! when you're playing on a keyboard press j to dash. also you can use wasd to direct the dash. so in this case try to dash up :) good luck!
Love the art! I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out the controls for PC though. How do you double jump?
Well, there is no double jump ;) However you'll get a dash. k=jump, j=dash, use wasd to control the dash. you can also go vertically. hope that helps! :
You should add a way to configure the game's controls.. So people don't get confuzzled! :D
i hope u get alot of money from this donation thing
I hope so too ^^
How do you double jump on pc?
Well, there is no double jump ;) However you'll get a dash. k=jump, j=dash, use wasd to control the dash. you can also go vertically. hope that helps! : )
Oh, thanks man! Also, I like how you reply to almost every comment :) What a good man. Hope you get your 200$ goal soon!
Graphic 9/10 soo cool
Gameplay 5/10 does not satisfy.
And medium games.
What a nice art
Thanks! :)
