  • A very good game! I did run into a rather severe bug on Level 6 that rendered it impossible to complete, where the leaves would fly out of the enclosure and not return for several seconds, but absolutely endearing. The music was also excellent and had me jamming on the main menu.

This is great and fun to play... as others have said, and I feel the need to echo ... very polished feeling. That said, I'm terrible at it. This is why I still rake.

Very polished, feels like an app you could download right now in the Play Store. Also love how well (and quickly) the game is taught.

The “randomness” (or chaotic nature) of the puzzles feels near the right balance between “oh god why don’t the leaves ever do what I want” and “yeah, I feel in control”. Sometimes frustrating, but never too much.

(As others stated, level 6 blew up in my face with leaves appearing and disappearing randomly :p)

Incredibly fun game. And so polished. Very impressive how you made so much with such a simple idea. I loved it.

Super clean! What nodes did you use for the leaves, out of curiosity? Echoing the crowd, the game looks and feels great! A bit frustrating for me at times, but if I put in the time to practice I'd get better... Maybe :D Thanks for submitting, this was good fun!

By far the cleanest and most professional feeling game I’ve played so far in this jam! I wouldn’t be surprised to see this show up in the Apple app store as “Leafy.io” at some point in the near future lol. The graphics are incredibly pleasing to the eyes (nice contrast usage with the blue), the music kept the atmosphere fun and moving forward, and the intros to the levels (wows v nice). However!!! As I’ve seen others comment as well, level six proved the end of my time in your game :( I was unable to progress as the leaves rampantly blew all over. I am unsure if it was due to the amount of leaves on the level, but if it was due to that, perhaps there’s a lesson in all this… less is more ;)

Overall though, incredible job on creating such a clean and well made game!! :)

Developer

Thank you! That's very kind of you to say. 

In hindsight, Level 6 (and 10) was not a great idea. I wanted to push things to the extreme, but went a bit  too far. 😄 There's still a lot of work to be done for the level design and physics. Thanks so much for playing and providing feedback!

Wow I love the visual for this one, super asthetic and consistent, good stuff. I found the gameplay really satisfying too with all the leaves floating around :)

Submitted(+1)

Fun idea and game was playing fine, then suddenly it looks like the leaves are blowing all over the place and I cannot see where they are so could not really play it. It seemed that the smaller area levels were fine but the large area had this same problem, level 6 was so bad that the leaves were completely invisible... here is a screen shot - doesn't seem that others had this problem though

Developer

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that. Thanks for letting me know. I'll look into it.

Very well made, all the menus and icons and UI animations are excellent! I felt like I got a window into a Roomba trying to get that last piece of cat litter... very evocative :)

Really well made game ! The animation are just perfect (specially the animation on entering a level). I think i would have ditch the time constraint and focused more on the satisfaction of having a perfect clear (time would have been a bonus). I found the bump on wall a bit strong. I got stuck on job8 and had to restart. My comments are very subjective and overall congratulations for making such a cool game !

Developer

Thanks so much for your feedback and suggestions! I may rework the time/scoring system. Could be interesting to just focus on the best clear time.

The visuals are great, the concept is simple to understand and pickup. The sound effects and music suit it very well. great job

Love the game! The visuals are excellent, the idea is cute, it's fun and simple to understand, great job! I didn't see anyone else mention but at least for me Job 6 and Job 10 kinda glitched out because of all the leaves. The leaves just went flying across the screen, sometimes disappearing and it was hard to beat level 6 because of that. I played on Firefox first and I couldn't beat it there, I switched to Edge and it still happened but it wasn't as bad so I was able to get 1 star. I saw someone else mention it, but I'll also mention I got stuck in the narrow path in Job 8 as well.

I still really did enjoy the game though! :)

Thanks so much for playing and providing feedback! Levels 6 & 10 are problematic for a number of reasons.  😅 I'll be definitely be reworking these and tweaking the physics overall.

Submitted(+1)

Art is great.  Love the panic that can set in as that timer goes down.  If the direction of rotation could be a bit more intuitive... It would be a stunning little game :)  Great work

I love the pixel art and animations! the Music and Sound is also very fitting. Controls do feel a bit unpredictable at times. :-)

Love the theme and the leaf-blowing game mechanic. Good job!

Fun game! Good job!!

I like it. Super simple and refined, but i feel its impossible to 100% some of the levels.

Developer

Thanks! Totally fair. The level design needs a lot more work. Your game is great BTW!

good game, nice and simple, easy to play, I loke the visuals too.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Unfortunately, I can't try your game out because I'm on Mac, but it looks really fun.

it's okay, I can't export to mac, and the web version has performance issues and the particles doesn't work  so I didn't make one.

Really enjoyed this game. It felt very polished and consistent across art, animation, sound, level design, menu & progression system. Really impressive! Level 6 gave me a good laugh, it just felt so mean.

Developer

Haha... I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for playing! Yeah, level 6 is a bit of a curveball. Should have probably moved it to later in the game.

Your game gave me anxiety (in a good way) because I'm terrible at typing.

Wow! Such a fun + challenging puzzle game. Love the multiple levels and simplicity of the game! Very well thought out.

Developer

Thank you! I really enjoyed your game as well. Spherical protagonists rule!

Great puzzle game,  It was hard turning corners but was fun blowing all those stuff :D

One minor issue, I got stuck between the two walls on the right (in level 8 )

Developer

Thanks so much for playing! Sorry to hear you got stuck—thanks for the feedback. The level design still needs a lot of work.

Your game is fantastic BTW! I really enjoy it.
