  • Obstacle popup now properly disables if you have the corresponding boot (thanks juulsezaar!)
  • After crafting, Packie properly returns to his starting position instead of perma-floating 1 unit in the air
  • Fixed light colliders on 4-things
  • Dashing into no longer skips to the ending (thanks nexinex! ... and I think others reported this too and I just thought I fixed it)
  • (thanks nexinex!)

100% it, pretty fun but short, would be better if it was longer in my opinion, the invisible walls were quite hard to find in my opinion tho, a clearer indication would be cool, also a better differentiator between floor and ground would be nice, like making the walls a bit darker

I am missing the last lore page and one hollow shadow and I would really appreciate a hint, since I think I but still manage to somehow miss it. Any hints?

Perfect game! I think I 100%'ed in 1.5 hours. Enjoyed every minute of it!

A small bug is the "I want my ichor friend" door text not disappearing after you move away. A great QoL upgrade would be removing the delay between encountering a harvestable item and starting harvesting (i.e. when you're moving while left clicking)

developer response: ahh yeah that makes sense - I've been thinking of making a sequel or a spiritual successor or something so I'll make sure that's fixed for then haha. thanks for playing!

i just 100%ed the game i liked it but personally i think 2 things should be added 1 a map of some sort just to help remember where stuff you find is and 2 when doing the secret ending i had to look through the comments only when i found a comment that you mention crows heard near secrets did i find the secrets now yeah im a little slow for not realizing me turning into a rainbow but i feel like it would be a bit better if you have your compainion or the recipe mention something like "your lantern might radiate colorful light when near one" these are not meant to be rude or say the game is bad i enjoyed it 4.5/5

developer response: fair point! not your fault at all, it's definitely way too cryptic xD thanks for playing!

If you want to go heavier into the 'incremental' side of things, maybe item multipliers in the form of craftable items would help? It can be a bit grindy at times. Great game though!

developer response: Love this idea! I definitely want to ease up on the grind! Thanks for playing and leaving feedback ☺️

Saving doesn't seem to work?

developer response: ugh, I tried to fix the save bug that plagues itch.io games and it seems I've made it worse. I'll get a fix in ASAP, thank you for your report!
this should be fixed now!

You can left click instead of use ctrl.
Using a keyboard button WOULD be easier, but it'll have to be something that's not ctrl.

developer response: I set it to V for now, I'll be sure to add re-binding in a future patch!
