the guy with the 1.30 is my utopia
small but everything counts
sub2 is actually cool
felt so much sloppier than the last one, ig i just moved faster
cooooool
this looks like Celest
Hey dev! as an aspiring beginner game developer i was really amazed by your game especially mechanic of the lines and how smooth they were! The game seems promising and has potential! you really nailed the vibes!
If i were to give one piece of advice it would be to randomize the pitch of the jump sound as it get irritating to hear the same sound multiple times in a row with no difference what so ever.
best of luck 💗💗💗
Hi! I saw Alpine doesn't have a Brazilian Portuguese version yet. I'm a Brazilian translator building my portfolio, and I'd be happy to make one for free, in exchange for a credit. Would you be interested? If so, you can reach me on Discord: GuiPelin. Thanks!
i can only find 8 feathers ahhh
Nice
That was nice, and i have no idea where the last feather is
hidden side path
my celeste mind cannot got used to this controls…. Still the game is coool
Same here, slightly clunky controls, but the art and story is cute!
I will be playing this live today around 430-5PM est =).
I don't get it, how do you go from house to house? The cable snaps and I don't get what comments say abt connectors? Very beautiful though, unique and comforting
I really enjoyed the game. I love the pixel art and mechanics. Sometimes I had to think about what I have to do next. The double jumping is well designed :)
Had a good time with this one!
Really liked the cable mechanic, especially the way it changes color as you approach the maximum distance. The movable connectors added some nice little puzzles without making things overly complicated.
The controls felt good throughout, and I didn’t run into any collision problems or bugs. The visuals and audio also worked nicely together.
The only issue I noticed was that some of the story text at the beginning and end advanced a little too quickly. I missed a few lines before I could finish reading them.
Otherwise, a really solid little game. I honestly wouldn’t have minded a few more levels. Nice work!
Great Game. i liked it but a couldn't complete it cus i couldn't find the way to the last house. I feel stupid.
five stars.
That was a fun little game. The game play loop with the wiring of the house was a lot of fun. Keep up the good work.
This game design idea is so good !
I loved this little game. I got somehow stuck at the part right after the third house, and it took me way too long to admit
this is great
the celeste of unity
super fun game! and very relatable hehe
cool :D
Absolutely loving the art style and color palette, it looks so good
this was a super fun game, and the ending is very wholesome.
Nice little game. I might have to replay to get all the feathers.
I don't normally leave comments, but had to log in just to say this was a super fun game, and the ending is very wholesome.
Nice work dude, quick snack game 👷🏻
"snack game" is an excellent term :)
This was a lot of fun! Very well put together, especially for a 72 hour project!
ah yes my favorite safe activity, Ziplining down active electric lines !!
Very cool!
Theo's backstory in Celeste
Amazing try out!, i didnt understand the zipline down tho :CC
A good challenge for people tryharding: 10 feathers, no deaths, sub 3 minutes
Short celeste, about fiber cables...nice!
that was... peak... heh
Amazing! It took me a while to figure out the second to last house though, it doesn't say which... um... antennae things connect to which doors. Cool puzzle platformer tho! Good job!
i notice a lot of celeste inspiration
okey this has serious potential. nice job!
this is a good game i enjoy playing it complete your game bud
This was a fun game to play when it comes to solving riddles in each section of Alpine. Overall, I had a good experience with your game.
the game is pretty cool but i got stuck because i didn't know how to fall to break that wooden panel
