This game was super chill and I loved the concept. It reminded me a bit of my game for the jam, but more well done! ☺️  Great game!

Developer

Thank you very much for your kind words :) It makes me very happy, that you've enjoyed playing our game but please don't be so hard on yourself, your game is very lovely too!

Super relaxing game and I really like the art style. Gameplay gets a little repetitive after a while though.

Thank you so much for your kind words :) You are right about the gameplay being a little repetitive, we had more ideas in mind but unfortunately there wasn't enough time for everything

This game is super chill. Love the exploration focus.

As other people have said - the game is very relaxing. I love the music too :)

Developer

Nice little relaxing game! My main feedback is that gameplay can get repetitive very quickly. Adding new mechanics like random storms or building can help spice and vary up the  gameplay. Overall, nice submission! :)

Developer

Thank you very much for your kind words :) I am happy that you've enjoyed playing our game! And thanks a lot for your suggestions :D

The graphics are nice and the game is fun but the use of the control key messes with the browser and I kept closing the tab and creating bookmarks. Otherwise great game!

Developer

Thank you very much for your kind words and feedback! Unfortunately we weren't aware of the problems that Control+WASD may cause in browsers :( We have added a note in the description that we recommend to use the key arrows instead and we will definitely keep it in mind for the future. Thanks for pointing it out that was very helpful for us!

The graphics are good and the sound effects fit really well. I had trouble knowing what I should be doing to progress in the game, maybe some kind of indicators would have helped. Also, found quite annoying having to spam space to pick up items after chopping down a tree or breaking a rock

Developer

Thank you very much for your helpful feedback :) You weren't the only one who criticised the missing auto-pick-up system so our programmer implemented one. We can't update it here but we will keep it in mind for the future! Same goes for the missing indicator/map but we have added some hints in the description below to game to help the players if they get stuck or feel lost. Thank you so much for pointing these problems out it was super helpful for us!

Lovely graphics and audio. The use of ctrl as an important input isn't great in the browser. I ending up having to delete a bookmark several times. All in all a very pleasant relaxing experience.

Developer(+1)

I heard that from a few people so far. We will purge the key going forward :)

It's a really nice game though. You should be proud!

Nice and cute little game, really enjoyed playing it.

Developer

Thank you so much for playing our game and your lovely feedback :)

Cool game! Didnt really understand how to get crystals though. The art is amazing and the atmosphere is perfect. One tip is that you might now want to use Control as a input because Control + w closes a tab in chrome. Otherwise, great game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your kind words and feedback! Unfortunately we weren't aware of the problems that Control+WASD may cause in browsers :( We have added a note in the description that we recommend to use the key arrows instead and we will definitely keep it in mind for the future. Additionally we made a little guide on how to gain crystals and general game progression. Thank you very much that you took your time to point those problems out, that was super helpful for us! And I am very happy that you still liked our game :)

Pretty cool game, good job! I see potential here, maybe you could expand it after the jam

Developer

Wow thank you so much :)

Cute game!! I think I saw snippets of this in the Brackeys Discord channel as your were developing it, lit up my heart since I play a lot of Stardew Valley in the summer. :)

I like the music, definitely fits for the "mysterious dream world." The small details like SFX of grass shuffling as you walk, etc. add a lot to the atmosphere.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, it really made me smile because I love Stardew Valley too :) <3

A beautiful game and a very relaxing experience. You chose the perfect background music for your game and a lot of the little details like the fluff particles when walking on the clouds really enhance the experience.


One issue I had is that I struggled to see how many of each item I had because the color of the font lacks contrast.

Developer

Thank you so much for your kind words, I am very happy that you've enjoyed your playthrough and noticed those small details :) I'm sorry for the problems you've had with the color of the font, we have changed it by accident and haven't realised it, so thank you for pointing it out!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the helpful feedback! I have implemented autopickup and the game feels a lot better for it. I obviously can not update the submission, but if you care to see the current version check out https://zwarn.github.io/Sweven/ and fell a tree :)

NICE GAMEPLAY, I really enjoyed playing your game, it was fun, entretaining, and I defenetely had a grate time, it is true, that sometimes it is a bit unclear your objective, or where to gather what you need, but overall it is intuitive. if I had to give 1 piece of advice for the next time, it would be to create a map/minimap, I got lost loads of times, specially when the map got bigger. But overall, one of the best game so far.

Developer

Wow thank you so much for your kind words, I am very happy that you've enjoyed playing our game :) And I really like the idea of a map/minimap thanks a lot for that suggestion!

I like the progression system, the nice relaxing, the only improvement I can think of is to make items be picked up automatically, a good tutorial as well.

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much for your kind words and helpful feedback! You weren't the only one who suggested an auto-pick-up system and I really like the idea of a tutorial, thank you so much for pointing that out :)

I love this game a lot! very nice progression system with every resource being used throughout, and the game looks wonderful too, good work! :)

Developer

Thank you so much for your kind words :)

Good game! I think you should have added a auto-pick-up system for wood and stone. Picking up those materials were annoying and made me bored.

Developer

Thank you very much for your helpful feedback! You weren't the only one who criticised that so our programmer implemented an auto-pick-up system . We can't update it here but if you would like to you could check out the current version on https://zwarn.github.io/Sweven/ :)

Submitted(+1)

Picking up individual pieces of wood and stone is quite annoying, so would be nice to have it auto-pickup.

But seems like a very nice game, with good atmosphere, thought out systems, so could be fun to played when polished. 

Great job!

you are completly right, it will be done :)
