Simple yet very fun and addicting. Same goes for the graphics: very simple but very pleasing. Only thing this game lacked was some ambient sounds to fill the silence.

I really like it. Not easy at all... but the 3d treatment is great. Good stuff.

Love the ALBW perspective! Lots of potential here.

What a cool little game, took me a bit to get how to find where in space the gems where - after I got a few I just had to get them all. Feels like this concept definitely could be built on with more mechanics etc to make it last longer. The graphics is kinda soothing and pleasant and while playing I almost got some vibes that I was playing a rythm game, not sure why but just had that feeling.

Not the best time I'm sure but was a nice time playing. Goodjob.

It would be nice if the gems didn't move as that way it not so frustrating when you just miss them. Maybe I am just bad at the game.

Wow, that's hard! I really enjoyed the falling though. It's a very pleasant mechanic.

I like it very much and thought it was really addicting to chase after the gems.

Overall good game was hard to tell depth at times between player and gems.

Cool little game, the player character is pretty cute too. Also noticed that the gems gravitate toward you (or at least when you're close to them) which is a nice touch to make it less frustrating but not obvious. Final time was 3:26.

This was good fun! The 3d planes was a cool perspective and that walk animation is cute as hell! Maybe consider a bit more fan fare when a gem is collected as that certainly feels like an acompishment! and maybe giving them their own personality as it certainly felt like they were alive and running away form me. ha. But I had a lot of fun chasing down the little buggers, great job!

Love the idea, and execution, great enjoyable game, easy on paper, not that easy playing it, great job.

The atmosphere of this game it great, and I love the premise. I think it has a lot of potential! Wish it was a bit easier to find the gems though, for me most of the time there weren't any on screen and I was just lost. Once I found one chasing and skydiving after it was fun though.

I wasn't able to catch the gems (lack of patience today I guess :sweat_smile: ), but the concept and controls of the game are nice. Great entry!

I have no idea how you managed to pull this 3d effect off. I've seen so many people try to make convincing fake-3d-visuals, but this is the first game I've played that really nails it.
As for the game itself, I think the idea is neat. It's extremely satisfying to play, has a unique concept and with the timer you have a motivation to play it more than once.
I managed to get a time of 2:16. Definitely one of my favorites so far.
