Great game! the very last one took me a good minute tho lol
Fun stuff! I ran into one issue. The first time I reached the room right before "I am a storyteller" I got stuck on the ceiling very close to the exit. I think the wind had me pinned.
The room "To give up on this pursuit..." it would have been a nice mechanic if breaking the tiles made the enemies also fall.
The "I'll keep trying..." room might benefit from pointing out the butterfly bubble mechanic. I'm not sure if it's required but it definitely made it easier. That room was a lot of fun to figure out.
Very enjoyable!
Thanks for the heads up! I'll try to adjust to level so this doesn't happen, or ensure you can still move horizontally when "pinned" in such a way.
The skulls don’t fall when the floor breaks because that’s what makes it challenging, but if I had used other enemies, ones that obey gravity, they would indeed falls.
The butterfly isn’t required for completing the last room, or any room, its an assist option that you can use solo or with a partner.
