Install instructions
if you're on mac, the best way to install the game is to use the itch.io app. otherwise, anything probably works!

delightful controls, the flower texture that appears behind objects is such a nice touch and the level design is gorgeous :)
i definitely started having a lot more fun once i dug thru the wiki and found the note about jumping at the moment you're touching the wall and i don't know if i could've found that out otherwise especially since the game encouraged me to just mash which was fun at once but got incredibly frustrating after i fell down and had to restart a couple times.. maybe u do want the player to dig through the wiki? but i also felt like there were a lot of things that the average player wouldn't be interested in haha
i'm not sure why it's suggested to install the game through the itch app (is something to do with the online mode?), my game didn't register my inputs until i opened it through steam big picture mode personally (i'm using a pro controller).
the sky is also pretty
is there a way to access the music alone? not to insult the game or anything, I just really like the soundtrack!
oooh yeah, if you mean the piano background track, its from the internet archive, this one:

how tf do I get out of the starting area I can't jump high enough ;_;
have you tried mashing?
we have currently been working on the very beginning of the game, so its great to hear that its not coming across (yet?)
When I try to open this on my mac (M1, Ventura 13.0.1), I get the message '"discone" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash.'
have you tried installing through the itch app? let us know, if you’re having issues installing through the app we’ll take a closer look.
Installing through the app sort of works -- the game starts up, and I see some vertical black pillars against a purple sky. There is a gray cube. No cursor. Mouse doesn't seem to do anything. Escape gives me a screen labeled "discone" with a quote from the narrator, and a settings button which does nothing when I click on it. Escape again takes me back to the pillars. Keys other than escape do nothing.
the very long bridge broke my heart
sorry
Very intriguing game. Love the vibe. The piano playing sfx for the main guy were really nice. I was about to give up on it cause I thought the big slide was all there was, but I'm glad I didn't. Now I don't really know how many secrets are snuck in here. Definitely want to come back to this
thank you very much <3

this is a 10/10 game. it's pretty much Journey 2
