This was weird in the best way possible. What is that thing, and why is it playing a balafon? I don't even care, because it plays it really well! Love a good hedgehog, and this was a whacky and wonderful little game :)
Thanks so much for the kind words, I'm happy you liked it :) Yes my mind goes weird places a lot, but it seems so normal to me that I'm always surprised that it's weird to everyone xD But I can imagine this may not make sense at first, but in a way it does. I hope.
where i live wind is the only thing i get
I hear ya
Cool game! I hate wind...
Thanks! I can understand, it's even been proved wind makes people irritated.. I am ambivalent, it depends if I'm at home or not when its windy I guess;)
Nice Game! Your artwork and sounds are wonderful <3
Thank you so much!! <3
Finally played and rated your game. The art style is abstract and amazing. I lost myself in the whole scene and forgot about the world around me for a moment. The game mechanics and intentions are very well understandable. The music is well pointed and of great quality. Some sound effects eg. of the leafs or Yesh would round that up. Great piece of art in my opinion.
Rob tak dalej!
Pozdrawiam, Wojtek
Dziękuję bardzo!!;) Yes, I wanted to add at least the sound of wind, but didn't have enough time. Sounds of leaves are a good idea too. Maybe later :)
Really appreciate the hard work <3 great job
Thank you very much!! <3
First of all, I adore your use of illustrations and paints! It's great that you've accomplished this in the time frame. The music and the story was a good fit also.
Feedback: For the falling leaves, their correct places were all merged into one big shadow, so I couldn't really understand where some of them go.
Thank you so much for the feedback! Actually I used some of the graphics I already had, either reused from other project or not used at all before, because I started the gamejam 2 days before the deadline and had to relearn GDevelop in that time (last time "programmed" anything was in 2016 and it was different version of GDevelop). I came up with the idea and started from making music on Friday night, glad you like it :) Still I hope you like it all :) Yes I should try and make the shadow more distinct, as a developer it's difficult to imagine how someone else perceives it. Thanks again for commenting!
Simple, beautiful, joyful...
<3
Simply wonderful. You are first and foremost an artist and then a developer. If there is a rating of 6 for art this game deserves it. Btw. in Croatian language word for hedgehog is Jež like in Polish language.
<3 Thank you so much for the kind words! Yes I only developed myself 2 games, this one and Karambola long time ago - it is on my profile :)
Oh then the pun also works in Croatian, great! :)
This one is my favorite of the jam, its like simple relaxing art tetris...
Awww thank you! <3 Yes it was supposed to be like tetris or rather anti-tetris. Glad you like it!
wow I love your drawings. good game
Thank you so much! If you want to see more art, you can look for some more in my profile, especially Karambola, I have also a link to my portfolio there. Thanks again for playing
nice game :)
Thanks for playing and kind words!!
Oh my god, this is so beautiful and cute and artsy. I love your hand drawings. I gave it 5/5/5. Just so beautiful!
<3 <3 <3 If you like it, you may like my old one Karambola which is on my profile, and I have link to my portfolio there also. Thank you so much for words of appreciation, it means a lot!!
Hey! I just tried out Karambola. I liked the story text at some point , about the emotional fruit. The graphics are a bit trippy, I assume each plant/fruit is an emotion? I was able to solve 6 of the 9 riddles :)
My favorite one was the last one!
And I had a question, would you like to talk about a collaboration for after the jam? Since I like your graphics, and I do animation, I could turn your paintings into smooth animations. (E.g. I turned this image into this animation for my game, using bone and mesh animation). Let me know if you're interested maybe we could talk about creating a collab game at some point
nice art ! but i dont know how to play for a few moment, anyway i like your art !
Thanks so much! You have to find a matching shadow for every leaf, and use arrows to steer them into place :) Can be tricky first time to fit them right in. Thanks for playing!
Very beautiful, and imaginative gameplay as well. The subtle watercolors and melody fit perfectly like the delicate silhouette meeting a gently falling leaf. I wonder how 2 versions would look one with the original watercolor another pixelated and another monochromatic??
Just a beautiful work of art all around :)
Oh thank you so much for writing! <3 If you like it you may like my old one Karambola which is in my profile.
Hmmm I'm not sure what you mean about 2 versions exactly, can you explain more or perhaps attach some similar art for reference? Thanks again!
the sounds is really satisfying :3
i like the idea and the art style, it have its own style, well made :3
Thank you so much! Yay, I made these sounds quickly, glad they work well with the game! If you like the style you can check out my other games, my solo game is an old one Karambola about emotional fruit-people;) Thanks again!
Really cool game I wish I find out faster how to play
Thank you! Sorry for that, I need to put some more explanation how to play in the update.
This was fun. Initially, I had a hard time figuring out the mission. I did eventually figure it out then I was addicted.
Cool, thanks! Maybe it needs a bit more explanation at the beginning - I wanted to add something, but I was out of time. Glad you liked it anyway!!
It took me a while to figure that I needed to put the leaves on the corresponding shadows, but once I did, It was a very relaxing experience. Your art is gorgeous, congrats 💖
Thank you! Yes maybe that should've been more clear.
Nice game and poetic.
Glad you liked it!!
