Very cute and atmospheric game! Solid core game mechanics, also I really enjoyed the A Capella sounds.
This was great! I did get confused a few times on where to go, but maybe I'm just stupid.
I think you're already aware that the art looks a bit unfinished in some areas, but in others the game looks really nice!
This is quite beautiful. Everything works really well together, the art, the lighting, the sound effects. What a cool and cute little experience. Very well done!
"To me this is art"
"This is so cute"
"This makes me so happy"
"Best game ever"
-Things my daughter said while playing. Amazing entry.
Aww shucks! Thank you, that means a lot!
I love you small story game, I really love how you've done different mechanic on night and day. The environmental sound effect like the ice, wind, lava, wood walk is pretty on point. It is a nice entry in the jam contest. Congratulation!
The lullaby music is a really nice fit, and along with the gameplay creates a very relaxing experience. Since the focus of the game seems to be on exploration, it could have been interesting to have a more open map design. I liked the way time affected the world, and would've wanted more of that.
A unique little game. Good work!
This was so cute! The art appears simple, but I appreciated how much focus was put on the player character and the world. The music was really fitting, too. I liked the mechanics around the day/night cycle, how the environment changed, and secrets became revealed. I also think the hints/echoes given by the flower were really helpful. The ending gave me warm fuzzies, too.
I immediately ran off the left edge at the start, so I missed some instruction about jumping, but it wasn't hard to figure out. The charge for the jump was on the slow side, which made returning to the flower a bit tedious. The first transition to the night cycle was unexpected, so I initially thought I was somewhere where I shouldn't be and tried running away. Despite a few moments of friction, though, I really enjoyed playing.
Great submission! Looking forward to more :-)
Thank you Maaack <3
A sweet and cozy little platformer. I liked the way you implemented the day/night cycle.
This was a lovely little game, with immaculate music! The whole premise is is really cute and sweet. I absolutely adore the audio and visuals.
Great job on such an extensive options menu. The SFX slider could use either a timed audio feedback or one upon release.
The jump charge would use a visual indication as to when it's fully charged.
Time locked findables are interesting. and while the time locks are pretty short, the double lock with the moonlight requires the player to simply wait. A little waiting isn't necessarily bad, but it's also not very engaging

Thank you for the feedback, and linking the stream! I'll make a note of the volume sliders for future projects. Cheers!
A very pleasant platformer, interesting mechanics with the environment changing based on real time. That ice slide feels great sliding down is pure joy! Maybe speed up the jump anticipation just a tiny bit? Everything else is super!
Really sweet little platformer! I had a lot of fun exploring.
Great job!
Beautiful art style and I love the sounds! It think it's a very cute and enjoyable game, with great implementation of the theme.
Only the jump charge up could have been a bit faster.
I love the sounds and music, and overall vibes - very calming. Great job overall!
Exploring the map was also fun! I wish, however, if the controls were more snappy and movement faster, because I had to do a lot of backtracking.
The jumping mechanics is fun too, (I even experimented with how long I can hold the jump and what's gonna happen); but it would be nice though to have some kind of clue of how much the jump is charged and how far we can jump now, otherwise it's always guessing and I had to make a few attempts when charging my jump "just not quite enough".
"A capella" must be the best wildcard ever. I loooooved the jump, and I enjoyed my time with the game, exploring the fantastic environment. Keep making art!
Really nicely put together. Loved the art style (as simple as it was), good color, hilarious sounds, peaceful music. I got a little impatient with the jump charging, tho. That took forever.
Thank you haha. Believe it or not, the jump charging used to take a full second longer -- I reduced it due to feedback :D
Very nice use of game design on the hint flower! It definitely helped me out in some places haha. I also thought the charge jump mechanic was super neat, and as others mentioned I love the hand drawn art style!
Thank you :D
I'm certainly no artist, but I am proud of my work haha
Great vibes, cute protag. Good job!
Thank you cool kid 😎
This was super cute. Extremely charming. The last puzzle I did was a bit annoying but I'm really glad you put the hint system on the flower. Excellent work overall!
wow that was so cute !
got stuck after few minutes because I didn't knew where to go but really enjoyed my time, easy to pick up and really curious to see the next screen, everything is simple and yet appealing to me.
Great one !
Really enjoyed the art style, music, and sound effects.
I was a little annoyed with the jump charging by the end, but it wasn’t too bad overall.
I also appreciated that the flower gave me a hint on the last place to go.
Overall, great job!
