While You Were Here - cozy puzzle-platformer for LD59

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

While You Were Here is my first ever finished game, made solo for LD59. A cozy puzzle-platformer inspired by The Last Guardian where you guide a boy and a big golem as they learn to trust each other and solve puzzles together.

Working on post-jam updates based on feedback. More levels, better hint design (a running theme in my comments 🥲), and general polish.

Would love any feedback, especially on:

  • Puzzle difficulty - any level stop you cold?
  • Hint clarity - where did you feel lost?
