A game that looks to be really simple, turns out to be more complex on further inspection! I loved how you ran with the additional theme of 'time will wait for me'! The changing of the seasons as you collect leaves it a very unique interpretation, but also metaphorically a realy strong one. The game never forces you to collect leaves, it simply asks you to enjoy them falling down, and collect them if you feel like it. No stress, no hurry. I really liked that. Plus the night-sky when december hit was really wonderful. I also liked that the leaves spun around, as if they were 3D. Neat effect. Thanks for making this, really well done!

Thanks for playing and commenting! Although personally I was satisfied with my final product, I found it a bit unfortunate that my interpretation of the additional theme of 'time will wait for me' perhaps took away the potential fun of including a timer and racing for December. I also decided not to include a score to try to make the experience as cozy as possible, but maybe it felt a bit meaningless instead because of the lack of purpose...
I love this! Catching the leaves is super fun and the time passing with the colors and music is really beautiful. Very satisfying and relaxing. Great job!

A Collection of HauntingsThanks for playing! I understand your point that a score (or maybe timer) would be good, but I thought that without it the game would feel more cozy. For the time passing, I tried to make the change gradual by slowing shifting the color of the leaves and background, but maybe a more sudden change would've been better.
Pretty solid entry. The music was really nice as well. I'm glad so many people are writing their own music for this jam lol. I also wrote the music for my entry as well
