Crystal of Creation by Rrawrr



https://youtu.be/evm6W2IuvW8
This place feels like it doesn’t really exist. You even can’t tell if You are exist in this place. All you can see is endless sky. But you do remember why you came here. Because of the ancient Crystal of Creation, that supports the balance of life in the universe. In your hands (do you have hands?) is nothing but a piece of it. Is it a lot or is it a little? You don’t know. But it brought you here. To restore the disturbed balance, you must collect all the pieces together. Even a small part of this crystal has a great power of creation. Use it, and it will help you get to the goal. Your path was not in vain, one of it's parts is here.

Pluses :
- The graphics are really neat, gotta love these PBR materials !
- I was always eager to find what would be the next block to appear, you made a great job keeping the player interested.
- The music helps to build an eerie mood
Possible improvements :
- Maybe give some more feedback to the player when nothing is hit, it can be frustrating to fire at nothing sometimes.
All in all, great game !
The game is looking very nice. Well done!
One of them is waiting for crystal to recharge, the other one is starting from scratch when you fall. Totally love the music, nice job there!
Oh, i see. Well, sometimes it's hard to tell where the next piece of the "ladder" is, and it kinda makes you spam the crystal, rapidly depleting it's power.
As someone on the comments said, some kind of feedback on how good you're aiming would be great.
I'm yet to reach the top :D
At the beginning, I didn't understand the goal at all. I just tried to explore so many objects in the level as possible, but after that I had a look into the sky and made "Ooooh" :D. Sometimes it was harder to find a right place to aim because of feedback.
But I am really like this game, good job :)
music - very cool. Fits nicely.
graphics - nice of you to inform that you use assets, that's honest. And you did create an interesting world with them.
Very nice that you included in game manual and a storyline.
Mechanics are cool but they could use some small improvements:
add a crosshair!
maybe add some kind of a way of knowing where there is an object to materialize? The crosshair could change the color, or there could be some particles. Clicking around everywhere isn't that much fun when you miss so many times, especially in the later parts :/
And I don't know if it's a bug, but sometimes it felt like shooting just doesn't work. It's weird because the "power meter" (that's what it is I assume) was close to full for me at all times.
With a bit of work after the jam it will be a very cool game.
