Not bad at all. I ran into several places where I got stuck in the terrain, but given what you were doing, that's not too surprising.

Really impressed with the graphics, aesthetics and presentation of this one! It ran a bit slow on our computer, but it's a really impressive job considering the little time there was to do it. Congratulations!

The atmosphere and graphical style of this game are amazing. What I didn't like so much was the excecution of the movement physics and the plattforming feeling.

Great game you created, people! Nice exploration experience. I guess a little tutorial in the beginning wouldn't hurt overall. 5 stars from me.

I had some problem playing this game. In the game view, there is an error message concerning lightning effect and the game lags a lot :s I hope you'll put a fix version so I can try it again

an ambitious project, perhaps too ambitious, but it's a great work done.

Hey! The game is nice looking and sounding. Crazy, flashy colors. Feels like a foreign planet.

Got stuck in the environment a few times and got lost in the end. Guess I needed some kind of guidance/points of interest to get around.

Quite the work you got done in this time, props!

This is a really gorgeous game. I love how organic the world looks despite being made mostly of solid colored squares. As others have stated, it's easy to get suck in places in the game (I actually clipped through a wall running while tiny). Also there seems to be a lot of invisible walls in the game.

I know this is part one, so I'm not sure how far this game went. I got to the first big tower and got stuck (i.e. I couldn't figure out how to progress). I could see larger items in the distance, but I couldn't get to them. Is that the end of the game or is there more?

A really interesting landscape, definitely alien-feeling, & the growth/shrink mechanic has lots of potential.

A couple of minor points, in case they're useful:
- I did seem to run into a good number of seemingly invisible walls (things I couldn't jump over when giant despite them not being very big, & arches I couldn't walk under when shrunk despite being the same size as the arches you're supposed to walk under).
- The jump seemed very dependent on both the angle of the surface you're standing on & your movement speed. Sometimes it was difficult to get a satisfying jump forward.

I liked how colorful this planet is, it's a nice change from usual grey dark enviroment. Gameplay is fun, i like how your abilities allow you to explore so different places. And music sets great mood.

BTW: you might have changed avatar but deep down you still belong to ONI xD

dalbinblue => Thanks for your remarks, the last crystal is in the last tower, I'm thinking to put a "respawn" mecanic to find the good way for the player.

Rob_Haines => Thanks for commenting, it was too hard to try every collisions and movements in a short time, i'm gonna work on it !

Zeriver => Ooohhh you didn't forgot, nice and excellent reference mate ! :D I'm also glad you enjoyed the game

I really liked the atmosphere and the strange world. The music was good and I felt like it created an interesting atmosphere. The controls felt a little strange. Sometimes I would speed up dramatically when getting smaller or slow down when increasing in size.
