This is nothing I haven't seen before, with the psychedelic nature of the game and the strange warping environment, but what really sets Ode to a Moon apart is how beautiful it is. This experience perfectly encapsulates how something strange and unsettling can also be awe-inspiring and beautiful. This isn't a game, this is a work of art.
Played this for a 4 free indie horrors, and was VERY interested in the universe of the game. It has a very colorful scheme to it, which (While a little hard on the eyes at times) Was really cool looking and added a nice level of mystery to the game as a whole. If you're looking for feedback, I give plenty of that at the end of my video in the "Review Portion"
Put your game into another Indie Romp, almost didn't realize you made the "Be Calm" game too! You've Got a way with colors my dude!! Hope you enjoy the video
This was simply fantastic. I would play this again, just to listen to the sounds and stare into that beautiful forest. You have created a work of art. Great job!
This is one of the most visually stunning games I've ever played. I must have said it 50 times through my playthrough, but I really loved this. Would love to see a longer version.
it's a tough maze right? I've gotten lost in it as well haha. That section was a bit more linear before but figured I should make it more interesting. Thanks for playing!
Just tried the demo. I can tell there was a lot of work done on the atmosphere, great job! The audio work is also nice so far, keep it up! I could maybe recommend a delay in frequency with the cricket noise when you come out of the trolley. The colors and effects are solid. Sometimes you can see out of world, but the screen distortions generally hide it.
The path was mostly intuitive regardless of the world warping, although I couldn’t find my way after the Eclipse. After searching in circle for a couple of minutes I gave up as the visibility is also very poor and I had no way to know if it was the end of the demo. Not necessarily handholding, but a little more guidance at this step may be beneficial.
Thank you! Yes that part after the eclipse is a really confusing maze that you have to navigate in search of an exit. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the feedback :)
Looking very good, as I said in the video, love the VHS look to it and the kinda weirdness of it all hope to see and play a full game, nice job colorfiction!
While I have loved everything you've done, I think this takes the cake. It's aesthetic is something that really speaks to me, really scratches and itch that no other developer scratches. I have no complaints - when I felt lost, it felt great to feel lost. When I found my way, I felt like I accomplished something. I really want to know more about this world and am looking forward to the future and more of your work. <3
Thanks so much Jordan :) This really means a lot, was a bit worried some of the get lost sequences were confusing but glad to hear they worked out! Thanks for making the video ;)

Hi colorfiction,

Love your style, I’ll go see more. Followed : )
Thank you! Yes that part after the eclipse is a really confusing maze that you have to navigate in search of an exit. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the feedback :)

The concept is nice, specially the art style of the game.

The game looks great and it has the nice atmosphere. Not much to add beyond the fact that it has that sense of weirdness.
Anywho, here's my channel for other games I have played. http://www.youtube.com/c/Levont
