Oh this was a delight! I found myself losing my mind over every little detail I noticed. As soon as I realised the backgrounds were real pictures with animation done over the top I was 100% sold on this little treasure.
The character's unique vocalisations are adorable (I know that in some ways doing this kind of speech pattern saves on proper voice acting, but I love it all the same), and the puzzle mechanics and animations are sublime. I realllllly hope you hit your funding target on Kickstarter, I'm going to try my best to throw some money your way if I can, and I'll be keeping a very close eye on how you're getting on.
Please keep up the amazing work, we need more beauty like this in gaming =)
Hi Wolfhowler! To play the game you can download the WIN_Tala_KickstarterDemo.zip file if you're on windows, or the OSX_Tala_KickstarterDemo.app.zip file if you're on a mac. Once that is downloaded you have to (depending if you're on a windows machine or mac)
Locate the zipped folder that you want to unzip (extract) files or folders from.
To unzip all the contents of the zipped folder, press and hold (or right-click) the folder, select Extract All, and then follow the instructions.
and then run Tala_Flowerseed.exe which should will be in the folder that you unzipped. That will open the launcher and you can press the 'Play!' button at the bottom of that window to start.
-MAC-
Download the OSX_Tala_KickstarterDemo.app.zip file, find your Downloads folder and open the OSX_Tala_KickstarterDemo file and that should work.
This was a beautiful demo. The animation is very well done and I don't see this style of "hand-drawn" looking graphics very often. Using actual photographs for the scenery is an awesome touch as well. The music was super relaxing and the sounds were charming as well. I'm a sucker for point-and-click adventure/puzzle games so this one really hit the spot! I wanted it to be longer. I really hope you hit your kickstarter goal! Thanks so much for making this!!
The background animations aren't superfluous when they help the game feel alive. I read that as you downplaying the importance of the animations, and that's not exactly a good way to present your game. I think ii would benefit the presentation to take the sentence out from the bullet point about interactive environment, and move it to the point about art style. It can also be rewritten to something more positive, like "The background elements are all animated by hand to bring life to the environment.".
It's not inherently a negative word, I don't think so, at least. You're completely right that keeping the game feel alive in itself IS a reason for them to be there!
The art is enticing, and the interaction of poin-click puzzle is well-programed ^^
But then, the screen stuck when I try to put the final piece of the ladder...(I can't click anything except the Option button)... I wonder if it freezes like that intentionally or a bug in my Windows version...

How do i play the game

Thank you for the kind words and the video!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! :D
What a cute looking game! :-)

Good point! I didn't intend to downplay the importance of them, and I can definitely see how superfluous could be read that way. Cheers!
Did I misunderstand? Can you read the word superfluous in more than one way? English is not my native language.

Hmmmm. I haven't heard of it freezing for other people. I'll look into it for you!
es juego tiene traduccion al español.?
No hay palabras en el juego, por lo que no es necesaria una traducción :) (¡Espero que tenga sentido ya que utilicé el traductor de Google!)
