NOTE: Hello guys! Developers of Urplace here!
First of all: Thank you so much! We were amazed by how many people played Urplace since we published it, a few days ago.
We'd like to say two things here:
1) We are aware about the bugs of Urplace. We are working to fix them all, especially the ones that affect movement of our beloved little girl.
2) We are think about expand Urplace to something bigger and better. We already have some new interactions, puzzles and challenges in mind, and we are eager to make Urplace a deeper experience to all of you.
Thank you once again for the support! And see you soon!

I LOV THE ART
Decent for as far as I got (~level 2?) but it feels like a LIMBO rip-off. It's one thing to be inspired by a great game and have that inspiration shine through, but this plays a little too close to home for it to feel authentic and original.
The music is nice at first but gets very monotonous quickly. It'd be nice to give players the option to mute the music, to mute music without muting sfx, and to also make a menu available to access in-game without completely ending the game. Didn't realize that that's what would happen when I clicked "menu," and now I don't want to play the game again.
Hey, nice job, guys!
Really like the music, the sound effects and the tutorial, but I think the levels could be better designed. It's lacks some principles that would make player experience better.
But, at end, it's a good game, principally for portfolio and a gamejam.
We're working on improvements to the game. Thank you very much for your evaluation of our game! =)
Opa, Francisco! Sou um dos desenvolvedores do jogo. Vi agora seu comentário. Lembro do seu jogo no SBGames 2017, o Overhead foi um dos jogos que eu mais gostei do evento. Seu jogo estava concorrendo como Melhor Jogo de Estudantes. Inclusive, seu jogo tá na minha lista de favoritos do itch.io. Da hora demais ver seus comentários aqui. Valeu, mano!
We're improving audio quality. Thanks for the feedback!
I loved this and the art style and music was probably the best part. Amazing Work :)
Thanks! :D
you need a help for translate to brazilian portuguese ?
Great vibe, love the music!
Thanks! :D
Loved it, it's pretty short, but has a good experience throughout. Love the music and especially the atmosphere. Really good work, that I could see being developed into a bigger game, but as it is, it is a fulfilling short experience. Great job!
This is the third game in the video
Thanks for the feedback! We are very happy, we love the video! ❤️
I loved the "Limbo" vibe of it. Nicely well done.
Vocês são brasileiros? Parabéns, gente! Adorei o logo do estúdio! Vou baixar os outros jogos que tem lá para dar uma conferida. Fico sempre feliz em ver desenvolvedores br por aqui.
Sim, somos brasileiros. Estamos super felizes em ver que você também é brasileiro e curtiu nosso jogo. Valeu pelos feedbacks, Julien! ❤️
I like the graphycs, but please, you should fixed the movement and the animations!
Thanks for the feedback. We are correcting the animations. :)
Hello eloras! Rodrigo Vieira here, game designer and programmer of Urplace. Thanks for the feedback, we are already fixing the game bugs. Especially the movement ones. We itend to fix all the bugs and make Urplace bigger and better, with more puzzles and interactions! We were amazed by the how many people are playing the game, and we definitly want to move foward with Urplace!
this is great! :D loved the atmopshere and the game mechanics! such a nice feel of the game too :D awesome job on making this game :D
Thank you very much for the feedback, my friend. We love your video! ❤️

Thanks! :D
Very well done, especially for a gamejam submission, although I would consider replacing that heartbeat sound effect. On headphones it has this gross "crackle" to it that I couldn't not notice.
We will check that heartbeat sound effect.
Thank you very much for the feedback, my friend! :D
Thanks! You get that crackle if you cut the sound before the waveform hits the zero line. It's super obvious if you zoom in in Audacity (or whatever your tool of choice may be). Should be an easy fix!
Yes! We checked that, it was easy to edit in Audacity. Thanks again, my friend! :D
Urplace is short, but fun, with a very Limbo inspired look to it. It says a lot while only showing a little, giving a good "lost little girl" feeling during the adventure, and I can appreciate that. The music and general audio was nice as well.
Good job, devs.Thank you very much. We love your feedback on the game! We love your video! ❤️
Really cool game! Love the look and feel!
Thank you so much for playing our game and making a video. We love the video! ❤️
Very charming. Reminiscent of Limbo.
Thanks! ❤️
Very nice work. Had one bug but... nothing could stop me from finding home. :)
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE VIDEO, WE LOVED IT!!! ❤️❤️❤️
It was really cool playing your game. Keep up the sweet dev work! :)
