Wild Cosmos [DEMO]

I'm so happy that you've put this out there!

Aesthetically the game is so gorgeous! the flat shading, pastel colours and roundness of everything is just so pleasant! The only thing I felt was a bit out of place was the effect on the vents but otherwise super consistent!

The little guy controls really well and I always felt sure where I was when jumping, although I didn't realise I could double jump initially since it wasn't tutorialised.

I feel like the level design errs a bit on the side of every leap needing the double jump but it was still really good, if a bit simple (but I understand that might be the goal). The mechanics are really well contextualised with the environments!

My only other gripes were I felt like the camera kept moving to a view which was too much top-down that I couldn't see what was ahead and the trees block the character when running around - maybe have a silhouette of the character show  when behind an object like a lot of other 3D platformers.

Interested where the cutscenes will go...

Was so fun I played through it twice!

Been following your development of Wild Cosmos for a while at bsky. As a Super Mario Galaxy widower I was already sold on the concept, but after playing it I now see I'm witnessing something truly special.

Can't wait for the full release (tho i better get a better PC by then)

Gorgeous, beautiful, amazing and I can't wait for the full release. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, this is everything I needed.

Dude....You've really done it! This is amazing! You should be proud of yourself. This "little" demo left me wanting waaay more (the world feels huge!).

The sound design especially was awesome! The hurt sound is kinda weird but I like it. I expected a cute smurf like grunt but I got a ui sound giving me errors haha. but I like it!

Environments are awesome! A huge selling point for sure. Wouldn't wanna change a thing.

Gameplay-wise I need to mention two things: First, the wobbly leaf platfroms are fun but I struggled to use them effectively. Landing on them sometimes did not count as being on the floor and my jumps didn't reset, so trying to jump off usually meant using the second jump and failing.

Another thing is the lava area with the white rock platforms. The setting is awesome but I struggled with the sinking platforms a lot. I never knew when they were gonna come up or sink again. Maybe a sound cue or lava particles could help here.

----------Some sidenotes----------

• took me 20 minutes to beat
• used mouse and keyboard
• mid-tier PC, had some hickups at the beginning (probably first time loading)
• Also, I didn't know how to start the game at first lol, I jumped around on my bigger self for a while then it suddenly changed to the actual game. Probably a loading scene? 

--------------Spoilers---------------

The ending was creepy dude! but in a good way!
