After playing The Orchid's Edge for a while, I discovered a few interesting "features." Spamming space and clicking will reset your M1, and lock-on not only locks onto your target but also pulls you towards it when you click. This means you can fly or wall-climb using the lock-on feature. Finally, for some magical reason, you can activate kill aura for Willow, causing enemies near you to automatically take damage without needing to click.
Was very reminiscent of kingdom hearts while playing it. Especially with the ambient level music getting more intense during combat. Very fun and hit me right in the nostalgi
This is amazing! Character and camera movement both feel very good and it looks so pretty, very relaxing and fun game! I'm excited to see what else you'll make :)
Should just be the start button on an XBone controller or the enter key, although the default controller support-in engine can have issues with other kinds of controllers.
Cool awesome game! AAA beware! The only suggestion I would make is changing the camera position further back. You can't tell where you are jumping. Check out Mario 64 when you jump forward there is a shadow as a guide
This was freaking incredible! I came across it while playing a different Ludum Dare game on itch and couldn't help but click through. I'm dreadful with a keyboard and mouse, but the game is so freaking cute and I'm hoping I can try it with a game controller sometime!
Would you be interested in investing in this game for making a POC for further and full development? Your vast experience is easily noticable and strongly applied to small jams participations.
I would expect you are busy on your main game, stil had to ask. The opportunity to utilize your skills in a side project could be refreshing and useful for both of us. Good luck with your development! :)
Pretty fun game! I could see the Kingdom Hearts influence a little! The controls felt tight. The platforming was fun. I like the character and enemy designs as well! I think the dodge felt pretty stiff to control but I kinda got used to it. Regardless, great work on this!
Kinda difficult combat with not being able to cancel out of anything but really fun little game. I really like the artstyle especially the little flying jester dudes!
This looks and plays really really well, sound design is also spot on, well done!.
My only gripe which stopped me playing is to have to play the whole level all over again when I die, checkpoints would be nice. Kudos though that you don't die when falling off!
this feels like a demo in the best way possible. the game is short and sweet, and the core mechanics are good (besides the dodge and hit-stun making you unable to do anything.) but its good!
Really like this game! Its style, music, sound and main especially character. Unfortuntelly I've founf only 22 hearts. But the experience was awesome! Cheers to creators!)
I am in love with this game aesthetically. I think the jump could be tighter, it's pretty unwieldy right now, especially with those small platforms you need to land on, but I think the biggest problem is how the dodge and getting hit rob you of control.
Being unable to move after a dodge really hinders the game feel.
I'd really like to see this expended upon though... The aesthetic combined with more time in the oven could do this wonders

I love this game so much that whenever I'm feeling down, I play it to unwind.
I'm glad you like it! There's definitely some dumb stuff you can do with the controller, the attack reset is the funniest one 😋
Relly Fun
good luck get all item

you cannot tell how far you are jumping.
I played this game on the gamepad and was very surprised at how easy it was to control!
The characters are very cute and the coin collection is fun with a good level of difficulty!
i love to see more levels
very cute and fun little game! :D
does anyone know how to get up that hill where the rocks and spiky things are? the jump to the plant soul is actually impossible
I tried so many times but it kept either flinging me back to the start of the level or I fell and had to climb the hill again
You have to hit the dodge button while you are midair.
Oh, thanks for pointing this extremely easy to think of technique
Cute, but I desist. I am very nooba
im playing on chromebook, i loaded it but when it says 'press start' i dont know how to get in lol
edit: now i tried to get in again but it wont work at all i cant even get in the game
the loading bar wont fill

Thanks! For this, probably not. I have a couple of things in the works already, hehe.

Maybe keybind changing?
