Awesome take on the theme ! Well scoped experience, i enjoyed the whole story.
Oh my, this was beautiful. The game is simple but really charming and heartwarming. I love the storytelling and the aesthetics. Even tho the gameplay is simple and the map feels a bit blunt in comparison to the rest of the art, it is a wonderful take on the theme and I just love it. The focus feels to be in the right place: The story and the message. I also adore the fact that the game is finished by making a lemonade.
There is a small bug. When you buy balloons then leave the store and come back again you can buy a second set of balloons and run out of money. This luckily did not break the game much as the game behaves as if paper was bought.
Thanks for the, I enjoyed it.
Thank you :)
Your take on the theme is genius. I've also got to appreciate the use of the transitions putting more focus on the character's narrative rather than having fancy particles and tweens on the gameplay.
It's a simple game, but the concept is great!
I like the storyline a lot too. I enjoyed playing until the end.
I was very impressed!
I've played quite a few games in the jam so far. Some have been ok. Some have been fantastic. This is the only one I made someone else play as soon as I finished it. I love this game!
Thank you for playing :)
Great interpretation of the theme! Not gonna lie, I think it's kinda cliche and yet I had goosebumps at the end haha. I guess the music and text just hit right at that moment.
For what the game is I think it's quite good, I only wish a bit more effort was put into the art for the gathering resources segments. If all of the game had the style the images at the end of each section had it would've elevated the experience that much more.
Nonetheless, great job, made me feel things :)
This is the first game so far I've played all the way through. I'd love to see what you can achieve if you had more time. The music choice was good, it adds a lot.
kinda weird and simple but very charming
I really liked the idea of less is more, not in a gameplay kinda way, but in a real emotion kinda way. The game is very simple sure but it evokes the idea well and that's good. I wished the illustrations of the UI (the stores, houses and Jill icons) were better looking and fitted more with the aesthetics of the illustrations once you completed the tasks, because they looked way better than the UI.
Good feels !
