Super cool game! For a moment, I felt like a kid again playing internet flash games, but the controls on this were much better. Love it! <3

Flash web games are dreams, happy to made u feel like that :)

It pulled me in and turned out to be an interesting experience. At first, I was drawn by the art and music, and the controls felt pleasant, but then it became really intriguing to figure out what’s going on in this world and with its inhabitants!

thank you so much! we really appreciate it ;) 🎶

Whoa, that was some deep storytelling! When I first left Everjoy I was a bit disappointed that the game ended too fast, but when I played again and reached the actual ending it was so fulfilling. Amazing storytelling, I got sucked into the story. Well done!

Developer

Thank u <3 we're glad the story reached u :)

I played through the entire game and I loved it! It's one of the best takes on the theme I've seen yet. I saw in awe as this happy go lucky game slowly turned into a terrifying horror game. I think this could go even further if you develop it more and add more different endings or something! I really really love it! Great job! I hope it makes into into the GMTK video!

PS: I love the music at the end with the organ.

Amazing feedback, we are glad you enjoyed the game!

PS: I was the one who made the music, thank you so much ;))

No problem I hope you can use my feedback to your advantage! 

By the way, it would be great if you could also rate my game :)

all the team cant wait to add features post jam to this title, thx a lot, we look forward to make some little patches or even a sequel??

Submitted(+2)

I'd definitely be up for playing it!

Can you also rate my game? ^^

It took me a while to figure out I could climb the tree, but after that I enjoyed the mounting sense of horror! I liked the art, maybe the main character could stand out a bit more. The ending didn't quite hit for me, but you crammed a lot of narrative into this, overall great work!

thx for the feedback, and dont worry there are pleanty of mouses still to come 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback :) For the main character, we thought about making him as anonymous as possible, so the player can identify with him. As for the ending, I'm sorry you didn't like it; perhaps you were expecting to meet HIM?

I just loved the art and the adorable suicidal protagonist <3

But also damn the ending was deep

I had a great time with this game

You doomed us all!

Helpful to the literal end of the world.

Developer

Yeah :( you fully understood the meaning of the ending, thank for playing <3

Submitted(+1)

I thought I did and made a joke about the funny dialogue anyway. Now I'm not sure anymore.

Developer

Yeah, the three flowers that remain throughout the game the "tutorial flowers", so they will always continue to do their job for EverJoy. And I agree, it's pretty funny at the end XD

Hats off to your team, this game was excellent. The main character had some super pleasing animations, the game design and writing immediately communicated to me that I wanted the heck out of this "paradise", and I didn't have to do many unproductive loops before I really felt like I got to the escape. Really well done. 

Developer(+1)
