I really enjoyed my time with this game! The art is so pretty and vibrant, and I really love the swimming mechanic, it feels like you are swimming. And the shaders also provide that in sea feel. I also love that we can basically "paint" vegetation similar to the game engine terrain tools. The music and laughing sfx when you get the hearts are well incorporated to the whole feel of the game. I truly loved it, I wish I played it earlier before the end of the jam. But regardless I wanted to leave a comment to say that your game is beautiful! :)

Thank you Eleni!
I should have left a comment as well. Your game was also very beautiful! I only played it after the jam but I loved the atmosphere and the idea of being as a little spirit. The particles, art and sounds were all amazing. The particles and sounds of collecting a new color were perfect.
I got a bit stuck at one point because I didn't realize I could open the door next to the cat in the box, but I figured it out somehow (don't remember how).
Very nice art as well! I think I read somewhere that you are a programmer working in Unity and learning Unreal, but the art was really nice and fit very well!
Would you be interested in maybe trying some collaboration in the future? (or just talk on discord or something - doesn't necessary have to be collaboration). Although I guess we both have a programming background and I switched from Unity to Godot a year and a half ago (not Unreal), so our tools are a bit different. I also tend to work with 3D art but only because I am a lot better at that. But I am not sure if that should stop us? I feel we might have overlap in the games we want to make? Just let me know and I'll send an email.
Anyway, great game! I really liked it!
And thank you for posting a message, I really appreciate that as well!
Thank you for playing my game too :) I would be interested in getting in touch! Can you email me your discord name so that I can add you. ( I don't want to share it here). In my itch page I have my website linked and you can view my email there. Or if you want to share yours here and I can message you. whatever you prefer :)
