Creative Vision / Rationale / How Did You Incorporate the Theme
Shine For U is a casual idle game where players plant flowers on a planet, trying to give them just enough sunlight without burning them. The game features facial tracking technology — the sun’s direction always aligns with the player’s face, symbolizing how one's presence brings light to the world.

Incredibly creative concept! I'm not sure if it was my hardware but my camera image updated frames inconsistently - not sure if it's meant to show a fluid camera feed or if it grabs frames every few seconds?
It's a bit disheartening to see that there weren't a lot of ratings despite it being such a unique and cool concept. Maybe people are just very shy about showing their face :')
Sound and visual design really add to the atmosphere. I could see this being on display in an exhibition setting, tracking multiple people even - that'd be super cool, a room filled with the sounds bouncing off the walls, and a big screen where visitors can make the flowers bloom with their faces. Definitely worth looking into getting this out there for other opportunities/exhibitions/award programs in the creative industry as an interactive medium in general, not just games focussed. Keep it up! :)
Thank you, RatPrince! I appreciate that you like this game!
Yes, the camera image updates every few seconds to help with the overall game framerates.
Also, I'm very much on board with the idea of using it as an interactive installation. I think it would be very cool, and I'll try it in that direction! Thank you very much for your suggestions!
hi Boh!
Not sure why, but I've tried a few times to download but it always errs out around 70% with the cloudflare. I'll try again tomorrow - but just wanted to let you know.
Thanks for trying Pachi, I guess it is because the file is a little bit too big, and sorry for that.
Love this concept! It reminds me a lot of the little prince!
Thank you for liking it and feeling that way!
