super cute game <3 ! i'am pretty bad at platflormer and couldnt finish the game tho..
A note on the camera: tracking could be smoother especially when you jump. atm it is way too strong imo .
edit: also there two different .exe of the game in the archive. not sure if they are any different?

Wow, this game blew me away. It caught my eye because of the art but then when I understood it it became a lot more than I expected, excellent job!

Oh man, I'm on a Mac and can't play it. From the credits it seems the art and sound was original but the project can't be evaluated in those categories. Was there a reason to opt out of those ratings?

@johnsensei You are right, both the art and sound are original, we didn't notice we had opt out of those categories, thanks for letting us know about this c: We'll try to edit this as soon as possible (if it is still possible) so that we can also get ratings for graphics and audio, thank you!

Super nice art! Took me a while to understand what I was doing though ^^

Controls are very nice and responsive, falling asleep takes a bit too long though in my opinion. Half of the time I just stood around waiting to fall asleep.

Other than that, awesome work!

First of all, I absolutely love the artstyle and character design, kudos to your artist.
Now, I felt the jump physics were a bit on the heavy side, and it was a bit harder than I'm used to to land some jumps, if that were to be fixed, I think the exploring would have been more enjoyable. Other than that, I felt that the idea was very refreshing and I would have loved to explore it a bit further.

I didn't really get to progress in this game. Visuals are great, player controller acts a bit weird, I'd like to be able to jump on platfroms from under without colliding with them. :thumbsup:

I like the idea of this game, but it does need some refining. The character falls incredibly fast. The collision also makes it very tedious do some basic jumps. The large head/hair seems to catch on everything.

The character falling asleep after a set time is a neat mechanic. It would be nice to see more obvious indicators of when exactly it should happen. It also takes surprisingly long for it to happen too. The forced sleep mechanic is also a bit confusing at first. Took a few tries to realize I need to hold it til she falls all the way asleep. Maybe making it quicker or adding a little clock winding over the head would help.

The game does fit the theme well. With some work it could be a cute little game.

Very unfortunate that I couldn't rate for art or music, because they're both phenomenal!
