I was surprised, it's a elegant game, great art, but it's not playable, so I didn't have fun.

Sorry to see that you didn’t enjoy it. You don’t “play” it in a traditional sense, but it is interactive and requires user input to experience, which I can’t quite tell if you figured out. I wanted to take a crack at an alternative way of communicating a poem that I really love. Thanks for your feedback, I will work to make my games more interactive in the future!

I enjoyed it, but not like a fun game, more because of the experience. I'm not fluent in english, so I had to open the poem in the google to understand better, probably was a problem to my gameplay.

And in the second time I played I noted that the phrases depend of the position of the mother. I'm not used to this type of the game, but I liked it and discover a new poem because of it.

Ah, I see. I’m glad you enjoyed it! I just tried your game as well, excellent job making a management game in such a short time!
