Pros:

  • Simple game with a clear purpose
  • Nice positive theme use

Cons:

  • Performance gets pretty choppy near the end of time
  • Sad people transformation could be more responsive

If I had to guess, I'd say that the particle effect for the fountain or something similar is causing the game to run pretty slowly by the end of the timer. The gameplay is simple enough to understand easily, but the game itself doesn't explain that you need to be standing on top of the sad people to gift them a spirit while pressing e. In hindsight the "e" makes sense, but because of the delay with the transformation into not-sad people I had convinced myself it was a number key for my first attempt. After I looked it up though it was a pretty smooth little game. Nicely done.

thanks for the review!!!

With the performance issues it was probably because of the footsteps actually. I realised afterwards that the footsteps just fade out and don't get deleted, so they just build up. And up. I also was told by a friend that the controlles  weren't clear enough so I added them on the itch page. Thanks!
