This was such an enjoyable game to play. The controls, though quite different, just work so well with this game. It's an extremely unique platformer that's quite unlike any other that I've played before. Great game throughout!

Great game! it is short and sweet. It is also quite original with its control mode. I like the art & music as well.
This game is great! it's quite hard but I think that's part of the charm! Nice job!
Really like the concept behind the game of death and rebirth with such a cute main character: a Dandelion. I think this game is supposed to play on mobile (right). Because the taps you can make with a touch screen would fit perfectly the gameplay. Well done, just need a bit of polish concerning the movement and its perfect.
I had some trouble controlling accurately, though it did feel hardware-based as you mention below. Great concept though, I'll try it on my phone later and see if the physics work correctly
Nice idea! I found the controls a little hard with the dandelion moving pretty fast, but I liked the gameplay idea. The art style was nice, particularly the dandelion, and it was a clever use of theme - I like how it relates to a real-world thing/process!
Thanks for commenting and playing! We actually found this bug when we were debugging the wind parameters. It was a different experience on different devices, some player feel that Dandelion moves very fast, others feel it's just right. We'll look for this bug in subsequent updates!
Anyway thanks for enjoying this game!
Solid little "Getting Over It" kind of game, liked flicking around the dandelion around the screen a lot and good background music!
Had a blast paying this. The controller felt super good, and it was fun to just hurl around the dandelion a bit. Art, sound, and just everything was super great. Awesome job!
Wow, it's actually a very fun and cute concept for a game. And it fits the theme very well! I liked it a lot!
Fun and very easy to understand how to play and how to progress. It's also very easy to see what's dangerous for the dandelion !
Good job on the balancing by the way, it's challenging but far from being frustrating (for me atleast).
The game was really charming and fun. It really made me feel like the wind.
the controls were a little unintuitive but fun once I got the hang of them. two things that could add are to put some audio or visual feedback once a checkpoint is activated and make objects not appear from thin air, the school bus for example could start from behind a wall or another object. also I think there are some objects that use different sized pixels.
overall nice work, good and relaxing game.
I love the theme. The gamelplay is really interesting and the world building feels good.
So, your game is beautiful both visually, and audio wise. Literally no complaints there, the music will be stuck in my head for weeks, the fact that you managed to make the game world feel alive with a 2-colour palette is insane. Took me a while to realise what I had to do, maybe a 'drag to levitate' text at the start could help. Controls are unpredictable, sometimes frustrating, but keeps the game engaging. Think the story is a nice touch, though I had to read the description to fully understand it. Overall, amazing job.
Dandelion is an exhilarating journey through the skies that combines the whimsical charm of dandelion seeds with the thrill of a challenging adventure. Navigating through the ever-changing winds to reach the final goal requires a perfect blend of skill and strategy, making each level a delightful puzzle to solve. The game's stunning visuals and intuitive controls create an immersive experience, transforming the simple act of dandelion flying into a captivating and fun-filled escapade. Get ready to be swept away by the joy of exploration in this enchanting game!
