I enjoy the message and atmosphere but the game itself is pretty lackluster, I'd love to see a part two with similar features but maybe more puzzle :)
Reviews for "Let's Keep Trying"
It's a nice message to build a game around... but the mechanics don't convey it very well. :/
Obviously not much of gameplay, but good message, although somewhat cliche, it is something that needs to be reminded to people often because it's easy to fall into compliance as people have short memories and resolutions.
Nice music although it seems the same as in your other games.
You should still have added some gameplay to make this perfect. Fallowing your dreams is not boring most of time, it should be something you love doing.
Also rocks and trees won't always fall to make path for you themselves for just trying, you must also make the path yourself.
The backgrounds were beautiful, I liked the music, and the message was deep.
There's a lack of any actual challenge in a game about persistence, choppy grammar here and there in a story based game, and the major mechanic mostly hurts not because of failure but because the way to achieve progress is boring. The actual mechanics in the game itself didn't make me feel like I was stretching myself or trying to valiantly keep going in the face of hardship, is was falling off the ledge and letting the magic wish fairy fix this obviously broken map.
Don't give me video telling me that hardship is hard and expect me to thank you for this wonderful and interactive experience. Polish up those platforming elements, build me a challenge I can be proud of overcoming, and make me FEEL that sting of having to start over from the bottom of the mountain again.
It's a good start, now follow your game's own advice and build a goddamn masterpiece out of what you've already shown us you can do.
Dug the themes. Sometimes when I tried to jump, I couldn't. I don't know if it's just my keyboard, a bug, or a symbol for a whole lot of stuff in my life. So... nice work? Peace.
