Really cool. I could see this idea be expanded into a larger game.
This is a really cute little game, I really enjoyed it once I got the hang of what I was really supposed to be doing. I think my suggestion would be maybe to include some kind of gameplay based tutorial. Although of course I know that can be a challenge in such a short timeframe.
Thank you! We've tried to make the start of the game easy, kinda like a tutorial, but we only partially succeeded haha. Thank you for the feedback!
The boar is very cute! I was nervous when it appeared but delighted that it became my buddy with a little food ^^
Nice melancholy vibe and creative take on looping with crafting-based gameplay!
Thank you!
It took me a minute to realize that the goal was to progress up and build the lanterns, but solid execution!
Really cute game! Felt great once I realized I was meant to be crafting and planting more trees, and I loved when I placed the apple pie and thought: "is that for me? It might not be for me!" as the boar ran over. I really liked the balance between moving the rose forward and gathering crafting ingredients - and even with the boar helping, you still had to feed him. I was in the second stage when I thought the timer was a bit slow - but by the different playtimes, I take it you can increase that speed (maybe with some more of the crafting I hadn't done yet)? But cute game, I liked the idea, and reaping the seeds you sowed earlier in the map is a great use of the loop theme.
Thanks for playing! The second stage timer is really only cosmetic/guiding -- if you place the lantern earlier, the third stage starts anyway. Cute story about the boar!
We had similar ideas, though you got much more far along with resources and production pipelines! Well done. Thanks for sharing on stream!
Very cool game! I was hooked into playing until I got to the end!
Nice execution and very speedrun-able, the resources feeding into each other through the crafting system was satisfying.
Thank you for completing it!! Ahaha, my time is 7:08 for hard mode if you want to compete ✨
Lovely idea! It was confusing a bit at the start, then it got quite fun.
Great game and artstyle!
this rocks. little prince tribute game that's actually a really interestingly difficult, forced-movement survival crafting game was not on my list of games i expected to see here!
very nice work y'all
Wow, "forced-movement survival crafting" is such an accurate description) Thanks for playing!
Whew this was tough! I get a bit flustered by timers though so that's on me. :P
I really liked the premise, and the art was lovely.
Nice Artwork! I like it.
I like it a lot! It feels calmly chaotic and it somehow never stops getting intense. I like having to think quick to learn what to do next, and just as I thought the game was over, the game said "Nope!". Very fun, very nice interpretation of the theme, and I also did like the story of the little prince when I was a kid. It's just the audio that feels not as rich as everything else, but the game as a whole is pretty good.
My rating is 5, 4, 4, 4, 3
Thank you for completing the game! I'm glad that someone was really surprised by the 3rd stage)
