Nyx, goddess of the night, finds herself in a tough predicament and decides to leave her home disguised as a cat to reflect on her choices.\nEchoes of Nyx is a puzzle-platformer where you play as Nyx on her journey, while the sun rises and the light grows brighter.
\nNavigate through several levels and reach the mighty cardboard.\nBut be careful—every jump you make changes the state of all platforms in the level.\nP.S.: There might even be treats to collect!
\n| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys or A/D | Move |
| Space | Jump |
| Escape | Pause Menu (with skip option) |
I liked the game so much that I cleared all levels including treats.
\nThe animation of the cat is sweet and the effect while switching levels is a very nice touch.\nThe music is good and can be disabled when it starts to be annoying after a while.\nThe ability to skip a level is clever for a casual game, I wish I thought about it on my own puzzle game.\nThe mirrored levels were a good surprise.
\nI cannot judge on the story because I was not able to focus on so much text in a foreign language, but overall it looks like a nice complete game 7 bytes under 13k.
\nNice work.

To me the jumping (timing/agility) was quite difficult and I would have preferred the game to be more focused on the “puzzle” side. It’s a great entry, well done!

\nLoved the puzzle platfromer, Great concept!
\nAt the end…
\n“In her Feline disquise, She navigated through the shadows of the night.”
\n“Yet for some obscure reason, she kept going, drawn towar the light.”
Very good graphics, sound, idea, animation, controls and level design.\nJust one thing: please don’t force the players to watch a “text-being-typed” intro for so long. Add a way to skip to the moment where all the text is visible.\nThat being said, I like it very much.

\nGraphics are good, the cat animations work well, I also like the music
\nThe difficulty ramped up pretty quickly for me, but I appreciated being able to press jump on the starting block while planning a route without it going away
\nI kept pressing up arrow to jump then fell to my death - haha

\nA very cohesive and well-crafted game overall. Congratulations on a great job! 🎮👏

I was not expecting it but welcome the choice. It made the platform game much more interesting to play. Well done!
\nI like how you also kept to the theme. I wonder however, if the text introduction was necessary? I feel the game works well without it.
\nThe graphics and colour choices worked well together.
\nOverall - nice one!

The moody pixel art, sweet soundtrack, and cute cat animations really shine; difficulty spikes a bit early and I’d speed up/skip the intro, but overall it’s a polished, memorable ride.

The level transitions, typewriter text effect, and lively pixel art all add so much charm. I especially loved details like the starry sky in the background, the cat’s adorable idle bounce, and how well the soundtrack fits the mood. This is my favorite game I’ve played so far - great work and good luck!
\nAlso, I love that you used ‘Nyx’ in the title (I did the same in mine!).
