Hello! Really great game, enjoyed this upwards journey and the engaging flight mechanic! Loved the slow build-up of both power and stylish witch clothing! Only thing I'd say is the camera is a bit unresponsive, somewhere in the middle between a set camera and a free-roaming camera, which occasionally prevents one from seeing the next ledge, requiring leaps of faith sometimes. Other than that, fantastic demo for a future fantastic game! :D
Thank you very much for your comment, we're really glad you enjoyed it!
Yes, improving the camera has been our top priority since the jam. Next week, we'll be releasing a new demo that we've been working on for several months. If you try it, let us know if you feel the camera is better :
Awesome, will absolutely try the new demo, looking forward to it! Thank you again for your hard work!
Hi! We just released the new demo and you can try it out here: https://magicrainstudios.itch.io/ila-frostyglide
Hope you enjoy it! :)
very cute game! I really enjoy playing it, it's pretty, I like the controls and the music a lot, it really captures the feeling of the character, I think anyways :) I am stuck on a level that has like a cylinder shape of ice haha, I got to the platform on it that had a flight booster but can't figure out what to do from there
Thanks for your feedback! We're glad that everything conveyed that magic and emotion.
I'm sorry you couldn't progress. If this is where you got stuck, you have to fly a bit further to the platform on the other side of the ice cylinder. Anyway, thanks a lot for playing! :)
thank you so much!!! this worked, I just finished the game today :) it's truly beautiful, I'm excited to see the next version, the magic and emotion really stuck with me yes <3
Will there be gamepad support? Will you put on steam?
For now, we only have Xbox controller support. But we're working on making it possible to play well with a PS controller.
In the meantime, if you want to play with a PS controller, you can open the game from Steam, adding the .exe to your Steam library and making sure you start up Big Picture and select the game with the controller.
Yes, we're working on the new version, and it will also be available on Steam :)
Just finished playing your game. I really like the idea and presentation. Gave me vibes somewhere between A short Hike and Ravenlok.
Art style and music are awesome! They both fit each other and the game itself. Overall, a great package that definitely comes with the potential for something bigger.
Oh, and btw: I'm not really into playing on my laptop (the fan noises almost ruined your nice music). So big ups to you for making me plug in my controller and become a pc gamer for 20 minutes xD
Thank you very much for your comment and feedback, we truly appreciate it.
It's an honor for us that it reminds you of such cool games, A Short Hike is a great inspiration for us. We're glad you enjoyed the game even in its early stages, and it makes us happy to be a part of turning you into a temporary PC gamer, even if it was just for 20 minutes haha
Just finished playing your game - good job creating this in just under a three week time period.
The mechanics of the game tested me and definitely made it difficult, found myself yelling at the screen more than once (hah).
I really liked the subtle change of the music score as you gained a new flight skill.
I noticed in the download that you were working on a patch for the PWM, might want to check out that the game glitches when you get stuck in corners/ fly straight into corners; the music drops off and a loud kicking noise enters the headphones.
Thanks for the experience, good luck in Big Mode Game Jam!
Thank you so much for playing and for your feedback! :D
We are already working on an improved version to make the design more intuitive, haha. The sound bug will be completely fixed; it's quite annoying, and I'm sorry you had to experience it.
Anyway, thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a comment! :D
Cool game, i cannot get passed the see-through barrier though. Any hints?
Take a few steps back, paying attention to the left wall. There should be two platforms there that will help you overcome that transparent barrier!
this is like dark souls because I can't beat it, cool atmosphere though
thanks for the feedback 😂, we'll work on that!
