Thank you very much, I'll probably work on something fairly different next, but it'll be story based - so if you enjoyed that aspect, hopefully you'll like whatever I do next! :)

This is interesting but the controls are driving me nuts. The developer asked "Would you prefer jumping on the up arrow?" Yes please.
Edit: It is possible to configure the controls now. |
You ask, and you shall recieve... once I've had a day or two break, eaten a tonne of ice cream, and then get on with the updated release :) Thanks for the feedback!

I hate that you jump lower when clinging to the wall. I love it, but a bit short. 5/5 from me. Maybe more than 2 endings next time?

Why not just allow all the controls? Make it so the arrow keys and wasd let you move and up, w, and space bar are all jump?
(As mentioned by others) - the controls leave a lot to be desired. If I work on something like this again, you should find the platforming experience much smoother and easier to complete :)

You should make checkpoints. i was getting very frustrated dying over and over and having to start from the beginning of the course.

yay~ William is still there! and now I rule a realm which I can visit everytime I cross the door, rigth? :3 I loves this good ending. The music and the story made me feel like if I was really there. Awesome 5/5 <3
Enjoy your new world! :)
Remember to feed William on regular basis: he likes to eat Ink, the letter "U" from words such as Colour and Armour, Oreos and tears. ^_^

This game is beautiful and so relaxing! The music and art is gorgeous - this is a brilliant game!
My only qualm would be that after giving the flower to the dryad, nothing happened :P
(unless there is a bug... Which is a distinct possibility, I will admit) then giving the flower to the dryad has an effect toward the end :) I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for taking the time to comment :)
Hey there, I'm afraid I'm probably not going to be able to make it load any quicker as my technical skills are very limited... though improving, and feedback is always welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it despite the problems, however; sorry about that. :)

I love the story, or at least as much of it as I could experience. These controls are awful so I have yet to progress. Why does William fall so slowly such that it seems like he's moving through honey instead of air? I really, really want to finish this game but I really, really can't •n•
I like to respond when I find the time :)
I made a very big mistake offering only one style of controls when it was first released. However, I listened, and since then it's possible to configure the controls. I hope anyone who couldn't get on with the game because of the controls will take the time to try again with the configuration they prefer :)

Very good game. This is partly just because of the music, but gameplay is also great. The music gives it such a great feel. And I like the story too.

Lovely game! I do not know how to say this, but this game seems so peaceful... No, that's no the word... GAH, really really great and peaceful I mean XD I do not know if a word exists for it. So anyway, you know very few game-makers actually respond to basically ALL of the comments! It is really great to know that a game-maker is actually reading feedback ;) the game is so awesome. One day I really hope you make more games like this. Usually people don't have this type of talent, but these are my favourite type of game. There should be a certain tag for these, only what the heck would it be called? XP So I have so many things to praise about and nothing to point out bad, but I forgot, I'm so sorry :P Greeeeeeaaaaaaattttttt!! Loved it! and everything... <3 if only there was a 100,000,000/5...
Wow! Thank you! It's always lovely to read something so overwhelmingly positive on a Saturday afternoon :)
I'm currently working on some very different projects at the moment, but I do intend to make more Text Adventures in the future and I'll give you (and the others who are asking for them) a shout when I do :)
Thank you for taking the time to comment!

Ah yes, red is harmful. I would have liked to also know that there are black death pits that look like platforms but without grass. Least this can be found out easily.

As a mechanic and a story I really liked it, but the platform engine underlying the mechanic was frustrating. there's too much push from walls and ceilings that they affect jumping, and there's a little too much delay in movements. Overall, I like the game, but I'd love it more with a more elegant platforming engine.

Great game 4/5 although it was short I replayed it to find all the endings with the mother and father difference,dryad :D I also love how when I look at the comments above/below this you responded to each one xD the walls that make you sticka little do get a bit annoying,but its great how it is a "choose youre own adventure"
I'm glad you enjoyed it! :) It's nice to hear that you played through for all the different endings; I hope you found it rewarding. Thanks for playing! :)

Awesome game! it is both deep for those who think deeply about it, and simple for those who just play it as a game. Mimicwing, I didn't notice a problem with the controls, or the collision detection, and even if I did, this game is awesome in every way. In fact, even though I know what's going to happen next, i'm still willing to play through it, for the reasons i mentioned. As for Tom, he did an amazing job helping to give the feel of your game, which is not an easy task, and Sean helped you to get that last bit of play data before it went public, which helped make this game what it is. Thank you all, for all you have done!
Thank you very much :) I'm glad the technical issues didn't hinder your enjoyment of the game, and I shall pass your comments onto Tom & Sean - they'll be very happy to hear it I'm sure! :)

I love it. It's quite hard (maybe 'cause I'm just bad at it >.>), but I enjoyed it no matter how much time a level took to finish. I'm just sad it isn't longer... :( Well, good games always seem too short. ;)
Thank you for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm working on something different right now, but I'd like to come back and make something like this - but longer - in the future; so stay tuned! :)

The controls aren't touchy as much as it's just difficult to hit the top jump height at times (Especially when pressing yourself onto a wall.)

i think this game would be great, although the platform aspect of it seems a little bit too hard, making it difficult to really put yourself in to the story, still a good game nonetheless

Doesn't really have multiple endings...unless I missed something, were those symbols that show up in the later levels supposed to be collectable?
There are two endings, unless you count giving up and staying in the Fey Realm forever a third ending ;) It's not much though, more a 'good' and 'perfect' ending depending if you explore everything or not. The symbols weren't collectible, but I might work collectibles into the next one. Is that something you'd like to see? :)

Yeah there was, when i die in large hard levels i have to start all over, but i got the hang of it with time. Still would enjoy some checkpoints.
Also, i dont remember in which level this was, but i got inside a wall once and couldnt exit lol.
Ah right, well getting stuck in a wall is definitely bad, sorry about that! I hope it's not happening too much. I'll bear checkpoints in mind for the next one; I'll probably do some even larger levels, so sounds like it'll be necessary :) Thanks for the feedback!

Beautiful game! Liked the story. The jump/slide on walls thing was a little awkward to get used to, even though it helped out sometimes... other than that, I just wish it were a little longer. Can't wait to see more!
Thank you, as a writer, that means a lot :) The slide-wall-thing was... Unintentional, though I think I shall see about implementing it as an actual (non-clunky/buggy) feature in the next version. It seems like people enjoy this kind of gameplay, so I'm planning a longer version with a new story when I find the time to work on it some more :)

I like developers that take the time to respond to most of the comments. Epic game, 5/5, but other than that just what all the other comments say.

This is a game I can play over and over again, feeling the same emotions wash over me. The feeling of happiness that William helped, the feeling of sadness since William is gone, and the feeling of relief that wherever he was, William only cared about me. This game is a story for the ages.

This game was really fun! The one complaint I have: In the final platforming section, there is no clear line between "Oh! I can step here!" Or "DEATH PIT NOOOOOOOOOOO!".
