Easter Egg Challenge
There's cloud platforms (with yellow platforms on top of them) in which you can push using the "Gale" ability, or from using most other wind combinations. On the last cloud platform, push it towards the end of the stage and use it as a stepping stool to discover some birds dancing to the beat of the music, along with a boombox (wonder what happens when you interact with it). If you'd like, I can also show a demonstration on discord on how to get there (Discord: Isaac 2). Some abilities can also reach without the platform.!

Super cool!! I love the 3D animation and ever-twisting and turning environment - it brought this game to life! The graphics were super cool, colorful, and gave the game such a happy and playful vibe (paired with the upbeat music as well.)
Sometimes if felt a little wonky to turn and it would have been better to have a smoother arc of turning, as sometimes I found myself a little thrown off when turning. That being said, it was super cool seeing parts way further in the level at different altitudes, and the whole level felt connected and immersive.
I would think all this 3D would take a while, but it seems you had enough time to even design your own music for this game as well! Great job, and clearly you're a master at time management.
However, the theme didn't feel to strongly implemented into the game and while I understand what you were going for, especially in the early level, I didn't get much of an "everything is a resource filling."
Despite this, this game was awesome to play and a very unique take to the platformer genre. Amazing!!
Nice variant on the platformer genre with a unique movement style and beautiful visual art that gave the game its own distinct vibe. As some already said..Kirby vibes.
There were a few minor glitches when moving through the world, but nothing major.
Also did not do the combining as good as I probably needed to do 😅
The audio had a cheerful, upbeat tune that fit the game well 🎶
The theme was integrated also...nice!
A fun platformer variant and a solid entry for our jam. Job well done! 💪
The 3D you used here is simply wonderful—I really liked it, from the enemies to the player and the map elements. The numerous combinations and possible paths we can take are great ways to encourage the player to explore the environment with everything they’ve got. Great job.
The music and sound effects also fit in really well, giving it that adventurous vibe. It even reminded me of the classic Kirby with its mechanic of using elements to perform different types of attacks. You introduced this mechanic in a solid way—it's quick to learn and very useful.
One thing that bothered me slightly—not enough to disrupt the gameplay too much—was the abrupt transition from one plane to another. At times, I felt a bit dizzy and even confused by the sudden rotation. I believe if it were smoother, the experience would be significantly better.
Another important factor is that, although it's possible to distinguish the elements in the current plane from those in front or behind, it would be interesting to add a slight transparency to those in front, and blur or darken the ones further back, making depth perception more vivid and easier to grasp. This is just a small suggestion in case you intend to develop the project further—I completely understand that time during the jam was very limited.
Congratulations on all the features you created and for completing the game. It turned out really well, and you made excellent use of what seems to be inspiration from Kirby. I wish you the best of luck in the jam!
I’ll take note to add greater depth and to cull on the 90 degree angle turns (or maybe have a fixed camera angle for those segments, though the controls might get wonky).Thank you for the feedback, and thank you for playing! Definitely nailed it with the Kirby inspo, I also took a page from klonoa
such a cool game!! The kirby 64 vibes are very strong here, and I love it! The graphics, mechanics, combos, music and SFX, everything is amazing! The only thing I struggled with was the platform after picking up the star. I died like 10x on that jump due to a weird angle and no visible Z indication like a shadow on the ground or something like that
Yeah I leaned in heavy with the inspo on this one, and I agree there are some tight jumps with not so tight z depth awareness. I'm currently working on a new build of the game and will definitely keep that in mind. Thanks so much for playing!
The fusion mechanic is really clever! Absorbing abilities and combining them through the triangle system feels super unique.
It took a moment to figure out, but once it clicked, experimenting with combos was really satisfying.
The only downside is that when the camera moves, the player doesn’t always land properly on platforms — sometimes you just overshoot and fall straight down :(
Would love to see more abilities in the future!
Thanks so much for the feedback! I should probably make platforms wider in future iterations of the game. Thanks so much for playing!
Cool game! it could definitely benefit from a tutorial, but I like the player rotating to the platforms!
Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely work on putting a tutorial in, and thanks for playing!
The camera tracking is really clever. I dig the soundtrack and the audio effects when you lose. Feels like a chill 3d Sonic. Definitely worth adding more levels/enemies when you have the time. Nice work!
I plan on adding more levels, the development can be tracked here after the jam. Thanks so much for playing!
I enjoyed playing this, it was really chill. Style wise it also looks nice, the music also fits well with the game. I like the movement system with the dynamic camera. I don't think I've ever seen it before but it's really neat.
Personally my biggest annoyance with it atm is the snapping that happens when you go to the next platform. I feel this really detracts from a polished feel, if you can make this smooth and play a bit more with the ability system (I didn't really understand when I got air or water) I think you got a pretty good casual game concept.
Nice work!
So when you get any of the elements (so in your case, air or water), you can hold the absorb button, which spawns a triangle above you. Absorb another ability (so ANOTHER air, water, or other element 👁️), then touch the triangle. Doing this fuses the abilities, though ik it's not explained well. I'll try to tinker around with the camera a bit more, I know some other people had issues with the camerawork. Thank you so much for playing!
Wow, that's cool, the game is really exciting. Of course, the idea of collecting and using everything is not entirely new, but it's presented in a unique and interesting way in this game, especially the concept of combining elements to gain strength. However, there is a minor inconvenience with navigating through the tiles, as it can be challenging to control. I would like to see a smoother movement system, making it easier to play the game from the start rather than waiting for the controls to become familiar. I also want to mention the cool and pleasant visuals, the 3D models are great
I'll be sure to add an in-game tutorial sequence. Thanks for letting me know, and thank you for playing!
The concept is really good and the gameplay was really enjoyable! I loved the artstyle and the 3d graphics! The game has a lot of potential if you keep developing it!! Awesome job :D
preciate it! development is already in the works, after the jam if you want updates you can check my twitter!
That was fun! A lot of game jam games are really hard really fast but this was rather cozy. I think it has the potential to be an awesome mobile game. It was also really forgiving. It allowed you to explore controls without feeling too punished.
Good stuff!
Thanks! I was going for unrestricted level design and a focus on different abilities, rather than a straight-up challenge (at least for the first level). Thanks for playing! I'm glad you found it cozy.
Awesome, camera movement and graphics
Audio was good too, animations were great.
I completed the game in the first go but I think an end screen in necessary. Gameplay and fun was of another level.
I think the game has a lot of caliber if becomes bigger.
I just enjoyed it but felt too easy.
Awesome to hear! Yeah I agree, the game is quite easy. I had planned for this to be an introductory level for what was supposed to be a short adventure, but time constraints only allowed for me to make one entry level. I'm developing the game after the jam, you can track the progress on my twitter account! And thank you so much for playing!
As a user of Gdevelop, making such a game using GDevelop is pretty challenging!
The music and the 3D graphics are nice as well!
Congrats on making this lovely game. I felt that keeping the camera fixed or giving the player control over the camera would've helped to see the 'depth'.
Ayeee! always nice to see a fellow g dev user. Yeaahh, making somethin like this in g dev was a smidge challenging, but its also why I took on the project. Since it's not particularly a fully 3D game and I am somewhat restricted to keyboard controls for the jam, I opted to leave camera control out for simplicity, and a completely fixed camera makes it hard to traverse the level, still finding a middleground for that through the level design. However, I think another person mentioned adding background elements, I think having scenery to contrast the plane you are on (or the "ground", in contrast to the foreground and background) would enhance the depth you speak of. Thank you so much for playing!
I like the energy of the game, very chill and the music really fits! Personally, I was little disorientated by the many camera shifts but overall great work :D
I wonder if the camera being disorienting plays a part in why I don't see this type of gimmick more often. Thank you!
One of those games that grow on you, and one of the few that I played more than once.
Firstly- I liked the N64 style presentation. Nice use off shaders to make the game look proper old-school.
So after finishing it for the first time I decided to play again to check out alternative routes. Only then I discovered HOW to mix the elements. And this showed me a whole new layer to this game!
If you decide to work on this further, I think it would be cool to have puzzles based on the elements (move platforms with gale, water a tree with a big drop, so it grows big- stuff like that).
Awesome! Yeah i'm seeing the demand for a much-needed tutorial, I plan to add that into a future update. I'm glad you get the reference to old school games! I wanted to put more ability intractability, but due to time restriction for the jam, the only special interactions are gale abilities to move platforms and water abilities to make the platforms disappear. After the jam I plan on working on adding things I overscoped, like boss battles, more interactability, cutscenes, diff areas, the works. Thanks for the feedback! After the jam i'll keep progress on my twitter.
A clever use of the theme, I love it.
It was also a bit nostalgic x). It reminded me of the old Kirby games.
I didn't make many combinations during my first playthrough, but it was a neat little game.
Perhaps you could add some kind of "trials" in the level where you have to a specific ability to continue, which would encourage the player to try out more combinations, instead of rushing to the end (which is currently a valid option).
Graphics-wise, the environment is a bit empty, but the style is pretty unique. The music is also really great.
Good job !
Yeah, I agree. I scoped big and this was supposed to be the introductory level, so I wanted to keep things super open ended and optional (which led to detriment w this being the only level, there being virtually little to no challenge). One of my favorite parts of kirby games is return to dreamland (wii) on magalor's ship and there were time trial rooms where you had to master the niche properties of every ability! I just thought that would be unfair to do that from the jump. Yah, I noticed the lack of background elements too, I had an intricate static background to go along with the moving background elements, but it looked weird so I removed it last minute. I do plan to work on the game after the jam, so I'll be sure to take the feedback in mind! Thanks for playing!
I love all avians! My only problem with this game is that you can kill them… (and crow beaks aren’t yellow but that’s forgivable)
I had one major issue I had with the game’s design: I was never forced to use my powers. Simply platforming is enough to complete the game no problem.
I also had a major issue with the code: when backtracking on the final loop that leads towards the end of the game, it’s pretty easy to fall off because the player tries to turn too early. This is very annoying when trying to get the platform to the end to go see that Easter Egg.
I did like the design of the powers, however the Earth one seemed to always fire the leaf towards the same spot no matter where the player is.
Overall I like this a lot, however it could use a bit more playtesting to resolve issues like these.
I agree, you should be put through more of a challenge using the powers. I scoped big, so this was supposed to be an introductory level to what would have eventually been a solid challenge (that and boss battles). You might not forgive me for initially making the beaks blue 💀 The easter egg platform level design was part of the challenge, and there are multiple abilities that have more range you can use to get the platform to where you need to get it, though I understand the frustration. I'm aware of the leaf, metal, and cloud abilities not working like they are supposed to, it was rushed code near the final stretch that caused a last minute bug. I'll be sure to observe others playtest when making a more realized demo of this game in da future, and thank you for playing/input!
I really enjoyed it. The gameplay is truly unique and clearly made with a lot of experience and care. Some parts were a bit challenging for me, mainly because I couldn’t always tell which direction the player was supposed to go—I kept trying to climb or walk through the most difficult spots, thinking I might find some hidden paths.
Overall, I thought it was amazing. Congratulations on the project! The game turned out great—the sprites delivered exactly what they promised, and the sound design was spot on: not annoying, not boring, just right.
In the future, one thing that could be improved is the damage animation. It wasn’t very clear to me when I was taking damage.
Excellent work!
Thanks for letting me know! Aside from the easter egg, I'll be sure to throw in many more secrets 👁️and maybe making the main path more clear
While I was was playing this I was actually in awe! I've never seen anything quite like this! The way the player interacts with the platforms and how it's a 2D platform that you can change the axis on is super unique! The abilities mechanic where you can combine abilities together is also awesome! It was so cool when I realized I could use "wind gale" to jump up to that high platform! I also loved the art style and cute animations! The song is amazing and fits really well with the game! I could see this being a full game if you added more abilities and polished the levels and gameplay a bit more. Awesome job and super cool game!
That's awesome to hear! I wanted a wow factor for the jam so i'm glad the camera thing worked out! Glad to hear you enjoyed the music as well- Funny thing is I scoped too big, so I actually finished the OST for the game already (3 other environment songs and a boss theme 💀) but only had barely enough time to scrap together a single level . If ya want, I plan on putting the songs in a dev log later, but I could send the unused tracks to you in your discord if you wanna take a listen before the dev log upload? I could always use more ears
Sorry to hear about the over-scoping. I can wait on the devlog to hear the music, although I'm excited to hear it. Are you planning to finish the game after the jam?
I already am! I just fixed the bug for abilities that require holding the attack button to use, so three of the abilities (in which I think are the coolest) now work properly. Once I get around to playing other people's games and finishing the devlog, I can go back to putting my 💯in development!
Awesome! I can't wait until it comes out!
Fun game! It took me a while to understand mechanics, a tutorial at the beginning would be really helpful. After understanding the mechanics its a quite fun game! Awesome work overall!
Much appreciated!
