Amazing game! I loved the art style and music, they fit perfectly together! The voice acting in between reminded me of Okami and I really liked the small detail, for example how when the mask got stuck on Tuuli's face and the text wobbled around. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with in the future with this concept!

I don't know if you've heard of Game Development World Championship before (gdwc2019) but it's a competition for indie game developers where they can submit their games and it's free! It's great if you want some more visibility for the game and it only takes a couple of minutes to join :)

Good day!

Glad to hear that you enjoyed Tuuli- it's always charming to hear when people notice the small things <3


Regarding GGWC- we were actually recently contacted by Laura from your company through Newgrounds and we agreed to join, albeit when we have some more in terms of content. :)

Cheers and have a good day!

Great work! The music is awesome too.

Noticed a few bugs: I got stuck in infinite death loop by boosting over the edge. It looks like it rewinds back just after I boosted so I couldn't abort it.

I also switched to gamepad midway through playing and noticed the "SHIFT" button didn't show gamepad button as I was falling down pit after getting mask. It worked on second playthrough though, after using gamepad entire time.

I would be excited to see an expanded version of the game!

Good day Leafo! Thank you for playing our little game 😊

Thank you for pointing out the bugs; we will make sure both of those are corrected in future development. ^^

We hope to start working on a larger version over the summer; I'm gonna be a bit busy finishing up a private project and some of our teammembers are going on vacation; but we'll squeeze in some development time when we can :>

Cheers and have a great day!
