Echo's Journey - A Cave Music Adventure
You are an unnamed explorer who woke up lost in a mysterious cave. There’s no memory of how you got there, just a sense that you need to escape. All around you, strange colored notes float in the air, illuminating the darkness. The notes seem to pulse with sound, faint at first, but the more you collect, the louder and more complete the music becomes. It’s almost as if the notes are calling you, guiding you through the cave.

It's a nice little platformer with nice music and a cool gimmick with the music building up as you play.
Restarting to the very beginning of the game upon each death feels a bit harsh, even for a small game like that :) Adding a checkpoint after each full melody is added would be a good idea :)
Having died 2 times before the final instrument I just don't feel like replaying the whole thing. It could be just me though :)
Otherwise, a nice little game that hopefully will get some attention!
Thank you for playing and for your helpful feedback! I really appreciate that 😊
I created this little platformer during a recent weekend game jam. Due to time constraints, I didn’t have a chance to implement additional checkpoints, but I’ll definitely be adding them, along with a few other fixes ✨
