The game looks very beautiful and feels very chill! I loved the birds sounds and music. But I didn't understand what to do at first. I just kept dying. I tried dashing through enemies and it didn't give me feedback on hurting the enemies. I didn't realise I was hurting them, so I thought I needed to interect with the lamp somehow and the dash was there just to dodge. Only after reading the game page I decided to try once again. I didn't like the enemy sounds. My personal pet peeve is this specific kind of whisper where voice cords are not used at all. It irritates me. I just hear the lips touching. I read on the internet that it's called Misophonia (or selective sound sensitivity syndrome). Part of the problem is how repetitive the noise is. I am perfectly ok with Malkavian whispers from Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines, for example. Also I didn't quite understand the role of all 3 ceatures there. It just feels like it's an unnesessary croud there, that only adds to talking. They all are cute, but maybe you should have focused on a second level instead of a squirrel? 

I think you have a lot of skill. You created a special atmosphere. I think you can make beautiful story- driven games!

Beautiful, deeply relaxing game. 

Simple in terms of gameplay, but for me that adds to the relaxing experience. 

Awesome choices on audio. I loved listening to the chirping of birds, the gentle gusts of winds, and even the whispers of the enemies was rather soothing. 

I spotted lots of lovely, polished visual details. The shadows as you approach objects, the particle effects, the gently swaying foliage - all very carefully crafted, and adds a lot of great atmosphere. The 8 bit look of the game is also very cohesive and solid.

I had a wonderful time playing this entry. Thanks for making this! Excited to see where you take this.
