Such a cute game! Makes me wanting to know more about these boys past relationship

Thank you for playing, Sica!

As historian once said, they were friends.

AWAWAWWAWA I'm still wiping my tears and weeping as I'm writing this. I'm such a sap for this sort of narrative. You did amazing work with the story, UI, and artwork. The Sunflower Field and Beach Scene are absolutely breathtaking! Amazing work!!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! 

The CG for the sunflower field is actually my favorite to draw!

Submitted(+1)

The story you wrote is so touching, it really cheered me up and I had a great time reading it 🌙💕

(Love your UI & character design work too, Wizard's outfit is so pleasing to look at)

Thank you for making this 🫶❤️

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing!! I'm glad it cheer you up!

THIS is exactly why I don't like wizards!  Breaking and entering, subterfuge, kidnapping, reckless endangerment and making me CRY!

Seriously though, well done!

Developer

Thank you for playing!!

I enjoyed playing this one and flying around with Wizard, even if the ending was bittersweet. Such pretty CGs too! I noticed a few typos while playing, like 'depression' on the beach, Nova's phobia, and saying "did he left". I still understood the message behind it though, so its only minor grammar things! :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing!

Yeah, I just noticed there are a lot of mistakes. Really sorry about that.

Submitted(+1)

No worries! The rest of the game was spot on and had really good pacing, so it didn't take away from the experience 🫡

Submitted(+1)

I really enjoyed your game, it was so charming, sweet, and made me get a little emotional, so job well done. I really liked the cgs having the expression animations, that was a really nice touch that added to their impact. I know that it's from Nova's perspective, but my only wish was for a cg of the two main characters together at some point since Nova only has the corner sprite.

Thank you for playing!

love me some BL wizardry haha. the vibes are strong and I enjoyed getting to know the wizard. great game! 

Developer

The direction in this was super good! I felt you put alot of care into keeping a consistent look, ie the UI and the way you did the backgrounds. The CGs fit in really well and I love the general color scheme.
I did not guess where the story was going though, lol. I spent most of the game being like, oh so this guy went off to wizard college. Whoops.

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Haha I'm dead set on white as the UI's main color and Wizard to stand out as much as possible.

Wizard college XDD

"Magic is meant to make others happy."

Such a heartwarming story with a nice message. The wizard looks so cute! The UI is very elegant, especially the pretty text box. The music was well chosen and fit the mood perfectly. 

Absolute comfort game. Great reminder to enjoy life. Thank you for making it.

Developer

And thank YOU for playing!

Hey, thanks for checking out my game! As I’m sure many others have said, the art is really pretty, whether it’s the sprites or the CGs.

The use of permanent cut-ins for the backgrounds is, imo, a very clever way to evoke the scenery without making the difference in styles too obvious. Mixed with the low transparency image behind the cut-in and the white text box, it gives off a very clear and light aesthetic that works pretty well for me (and I’m a dark mode user 😆)

I like that the text box has some graphics on the left side, it doesn’t make it feel empty when you’re not showing a side image. If I update Woof You to the Moon (or if I do another game with side images), I will most likely steal this trick.

There were a few typos (which I should have noted down, oops) but far from an unbearable amount.

Story-wise, to be honest one of the early scenes (sunflowers I think) felt a bit drawn-out to me, but when the twist dropped it made me appreciate it more in retrospect.

Spoilers Because when I saw that first flashback I immediately figured out Wizard's identity, so I was like "come on Nova it's not that complicated", "Come on Nova this is obvious".

I DIDN’T EXPECT THE GUY TO BE DEAD

That recontextualized a lot of things 😭

It was a bit sad yet uplifting, and I like that in a way, you could say that the story is looping, since it’s a dream that Nova is about to write all down. But it’s also, at the same time, setting him up for success in the future. Don’t know if I’m making sense but I hope so 💀

</p>

tldr I’ve enjoyed the game, you draw a lot of beautiful CGs

edit: typos, because this is what I get for typing this at 1 AM

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Take it. It's actually quite common trick for textbox with side sprite (as far as I know). About the sunflower scene, I only got the idea while drawing the CG (yes, I started from CG first and I'm a no plan person), but making a new one will take a lot of time. As for the ending with the title drop, it is a pure coincidence. I, once again, didn't plan for it and only realized after I finished writing (I even use past-tense style, but it is also coincidence).

Glad you enjoy the game and CGs!

Beautiful artwork, I can tell you put a lot of love into this

I love your art so much as always! The story has a really great message, which I really needed right now so thank you. Plus a romantic Aladdin/Spiderman style scene oh my goodness!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Glad to hear it helped you!

Such a bittersweet story, almost nostalgic for me. I love it starts out quite silly but ends up with such a level of sincerity, I'm quite taken by surprise, the conversation and scene flow quite naturally as well. The soundtracks were also very well composed and used well, maybe a bit sfx here and could really liven up the scenes.

I do wish there are more interactions somehow aside from the early parts, but it being quite linear works in its favour too.

What a lovely, warm, and bittersweet story! The art is phenomenal, and the writing absolutely charming: great work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playiiing!

Wow! What an incredibly tender story! I absolutely love the way the relationship between Nova and the wizard built up and was revealed, and the writing throughout felt incredibly sweet and sincere. The original art also felt very well done (especially all those CGs!), and the use of assets was handled really well. All in all, an incredibly impressive (and extremely charming!) work. Well done!!!

Thank you very much!! Thank you for playing!

Nice story idea! I would have loved more opportunities to have interacted  with the cute wizard boy more rather than the first option. The art was of him was beautiful! ♥

Thank you for playing!

Yes, he is beautiful!

Sweet game, such a wholesome experience! The emotional parts hits hard, good job.

Such a nice and a bit sad story. I love the characters, especially the wizard — he's so adorable. It reminds me of old anime shows that make you cry in the end.

Developer

Thank you for playing!!

Yes, Wizard is adorable!
