easily one of the best submissions! maybe minus the speed a bit this game is just too charming and relaxing haha! Def playing this when I need to be less stressed ^^
Super cute ! Definitely loved the aesthetics, sfx, and music! I think the rain and snow melting mechanics could have been faster, but definitely feels super cosy, I liked it
Hey this is really relaxing :) The theme fits perfectly and the game does work correctly. As already said, maybe something to track your progression could be a good addition !
Cute little game! I'm very impressed by the level of polish you both accomplished. The concept was simple, but very well executed, which I always love. Some feedback would be that I think the melting of snow could be a bit quicker as it takes a while, and maybe the island could have been a bit smaller - but those are minor things. The game looks, sounds and feels very solid for a jam game, good job! Congrats on finishing a game, and thanks for participating to the jam :)
Thank you once again for hosting the jam! We are very happy to see people likes the game
We weren't able to add most of the features we wanted to add but it turned out to be a relaxing and cozy experience, and we are planning to finish the game adding all the things we couldn't add.
Personally, i can say this is my best proyect yet and i was lucky to find people with so much talent. This wouldn't have happened without Zoe's charming drawings and Joe's amazing sounds and music.
All I can say is thank you, for playing our game and for making it possible.
I loved the expression made by the spirit and the bee ! Super adorable :) and together with the music and gameplay, very cozy! I think it was mentioned before but if there were anything I'd like to see added as a player, it would be a checklist of tasks I've done or still need to do :)
Cute and relaxing :) My two wishes would be a larger rain cloud to water more flowers at the same time, the way I can melt multiple patches of snow, and 3 bees instead of one (bloom multiple flowers, more lively, more bee friends)
There are so many things I loved about this game! The character design is so cute! The animation were well done, really smooth. I already had half the map, when I found the bee, but it didn't matter, cause it was the cutest? Had fun just walking around with my pet bee showing her all the flowers I already created :)
The list was really helpful and also had the tutorial on it, very fitting design choice.
Things I would have loved: Make my ToDo list a checklist. trees: 12/40, flowers: 20/40, snow melted: 10/20 or something like that. And a "well done. Spring is now here" screen would have been nice in the end :)
Ahhh, thank you! Although I drew the sprites, it was all Hector doing the animations. The bee is my favorite part too! I love how it follows the player around. Thank you so much for the feedback, we'll add those features when we finish the game :D
What a soothing game! The vibe was on point, and I LOVED the music. I think the rain hitbox could be a little more intuitive--also, more use could be made of the sunlight, since sunlight is also needed to grow plants. All in all a nice game, though!
Thank you! I also love how the bee turned out, it feels like it's your little friend that helps you bloom flowers instead of an insect that wants polen.
I also agree there should be some feedback with the rain, there wasn't much time and i focused on other more important parts of the game.
Thank you for your feedback, we will do our best to improve our little game!
The game has a simple but addictive gameplay (especially for perfectionists like me). Nice artstyle and music. In the future, It wll be perfect to see a little more interaction with objects on the stage. (Flowers grow over the area, new objects randomly appear on the map, there are more bees).
We had in mind to finish the game after the jam. Add all the things we didn't have time to add and maybe a little story with some funny characters we already had in mind.
I also had in mind adding more bees but we had 1 hour left and when you added more than one bee the bees broke, so it's something we might add in the future but we didn't have time to add for now.
the spritework is absolutely adorable, as are the bees, and the fact that you kept the scope so reasonable and were able to make so much content (relatively speaking) is honestly incredible. this game speaks to your talent as a game dev and an artist <3
Thank's a lot! We wanted to make a relaxing and cozy experience.
As a team we divided the tasks: Zoe did a great work with the art and Joe did some amazing music and sound effects. All i did is put it all together and make some animations.
I'm really happy to have found such an amazing team, and if it's possible, i'm willing to work with them again.

Very cute little game! I included it in my Cozy Spring Jam 2023 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look!
That really means a lot, thank you!

Thank you for the feedback! Maybe i should modify the melting speed and see how it feels.
Hey this is really relaxing :) The theme fits perfectly and the game does work correctly. As already said, maybe something to track your progression could be a good addition !
Glad you liked it! The progression was actually something we wanted to add but there were 30 minutes left :')
So we are planning to add it on the final version of the game.

That sounds awesome! You all did a great job! Glad you enjoyed <3
Super weet game!!
Love the aesthetic and simple smooth animations and illustrations!
The gameplay is simple efficient and super cozy:')
My only criticism is I find the sunlight effect to be too agressive and overwhelming, especially since you have to use it often and repeatedly.
Thanks you for your game:)
That is a fair criticism (I was struggling with making the sunlight sound effect)
Zoe and Hector did an amazing job and all together we made a pretty good game :)
So very cute and adorable game. The lovely graphics and soothing music also helped a lot in building a nice atmosphere. Well done!
Thank you for your support :) We appreciate it

Thank you! Zoe did an amazing job with the art, and Hector did a killer job with the coding.
I did the sound and the music. We're proud of our creation :)
Super cute and relaxing!
Thank you!
super cute artstyle! played it late in the evening and it was so relaxing!
Thanks a lot! Zoe did a great job with the art

Glad you liked it! We will try to add this features in the final game.
I tried to add multiple bees but the game broke and we didn't have much time, so i will have a look at that.
Very well done! The movement felt smooth and it was a very relaxing game. The sound design was very satisfying too!
Thank you! It was my first game I've worked on (I did the sound and music :))

Thanks! Joe did an awesome job with the music. Thank you again for the feedback, we'll definitely consider them for the rest of the game! :D
No problem! :)
Amazingly cute game! I love the fact that the bee follows the player around and doesn't simply go to the rest of the flowers!!!
Wish we could get faster feedback when using the rain. Because it doesn't show anything for a few seconds before the flowers bloom.
Thank you! I also love how the bee turned out, it feels like it's your little friend that helps you bloom flowers instead of an insect that wants polen.
I also agree there should be some feedback with the rain, there wasn't much time and i focused on other more important parts of the game.

Also one small bug with layers (its still so cute)
oh yes, that bug is because of a last minute change. I noticed after submitting but was too tired to fix it.
Later i'll try to upload a new version of the game after fixing some bugs (without adding anything new of course)
Thanks for the feedback!

I could spend a lot of time on it, nice
Thank you!
We wanted to make a cozy and relaxing experience, i'm glad we achieved our goal :)
The aesthetic definitely fits the cozy aspect of this game jam, and I think the artwork is just incredible! Great job!
Thanks for playing our game! We took the cozy part VERY seriously :)

very cute and honestly one of my favorites, the little spring spirit is SO adorable!
Thank you! We've put a lot of effort on making it as cozy and cute as possible
