How does your game fit the theme?
'Breathing' is the game's main mechanic. The game features both a situation in which one would take deep breaths as well as imagery/sounds that are evocative of deep breathing.

Interesting puzzles with planning and timing challenge. Minimalistic pixel graphics and melodic audio work great together. Theme is nice, I also do breathing exercises when trying to get sleep :) Good job!

Really enjoyed this one, it was relaxing but also challenging

'I feel that taking a deep breath is almost like forcefully blowing one's anxieties away' This really made me think man. 

Wowza! what a take on the theme & the uniqueness. Puzzles are nicely done. The fact there isn't any death/lose mechanic is great imo in jam games so well done on that!

An interesting puzzle. I would say it's relaxing but the blue ghosts drove me crazy (maybe not my genre :) ) Good game!

I like the design of this game. It's a nice puzzle game which become more and more complex as you progress. The breathing has been incorporated in the mechanic with nice sound effects. I think it is a cute little game, very well done in his simplicity.
