Прошёл на концовку, где собрал бабочек после спавна волка. Плот твист неожиданный и прикольный. Есть некоторые огрехи по технической части, но по большому счёту, на них плевать, играть не мешает. Хотелось бы побольше контента

Unfortunately, it didn’t launch (macOS, Chrome, web version)

Cool style, but my eyes start to hurt really quickly )
And why can’t you ride the wolf? I really wanted to =D

Hmm.. Only found 2 of the endings.. Wonder which one I'm missing? Great looking graphics and I liked the CRT style filter. My eyes are used to it :laughing:

I did all 3!

The idea is funny! It's somewhat reminiscent of Stanley Parable.

I noticed the game speeds up over time. They could have added an ending where you do nothing, accelerate to cosmic speeds, and get an achievement or a trolling comment from the author.

I also liked the transition to the red screen.

And I'd like more gameplay.

I got 2 endings - there’s an interesting contrast between catching butterflies and running from the wolf. The visuals set the atmosphere. Good game!

Cool game! I really like the graphics, especially the background and the wolf. The twist is interesting and adds a nice touch.

The VHS style is a good idea buut it flickers so hard that it is near unplayable. I suggest just remove the flicker.
Also when the game starts you have to click on Continue (hitting space would be better).
But i really like the art style and gamefeel. It is really nice made.

The game doesn't reset properly after losing/winning so it's hard to get all the different endings, but with the helo of the F5 button I managed to get them all. Anyway, cute animation and nice gameplay. Catching butterflies while avoiding the monster is quite fun. I don't really like the flickering effect, it's rather hard to watch, but it does give some character to the game.

Old screen fx is a bit strong, especially in full screen. Game doesn't reset after playing once so I couldn't find all endings. I don't know if it's a bug but the player can go outside of the screen. Otherwise, I like background mountains and butterflies are nice.

The artstyle is really awesome! Combined with the audio it feels like an old CRT 8 bit console game. Though I've been only able to get the death ending and the butterflies ending post catching a red object since the regular red butterflies seems to stop spawning. Is that intentional?

Also I got a bug after getting the red object ending I kept getting the ending screen everytime I press attack. Overall its really fun

The CRT-filter is a nice touch, but as others have said it might feel a bit jarring at times. Whenever I add a noise-filter or such in my games I make sure to include a button you can enable/disable the effect with.

The game-play in itself felt responsive and and relaxing. I liked the creature that gave chase if you didn't do as told. :wolf:

The music-loop with the specific organ-sound reminded me of The Doors. :musical_keyboard: :door:

Keep on jamming!

Not bad, I feel it can be completely secured, simplifying the player's operations. Appropriate left and right movements along with the E key and jumping are all that's needed. Casual games really are very enjoyable!
