Love the low poly art style, music is great, very relaxing experience.  But mother nature has lots to do, she needs a sprint button ;)  Overall, nice work!

It is a really relaxing game, the music is amazing, it gave me chills! Same vibes than the game Flower. The art is also great.
I had a few problems with the collisions while walking, but nothing that bad. The walk is a bit slow, but it lets you enjoy the music. Everything works perfectly together!

Thank you for the experience, it is a great game!

Initially, I found the game as dull and boring as possible. But listening to music and relaxing, it became comfortable and pleasant for me to play this game. The only thing missing at the end is some huge flower in the center.

The soundtrack is really amazing great job. The gameplay is relaxing and calm, defiantly feels like the music was the main point of this. I do wish there were camera controls or it was a little more reactive as the camera would clip into objects or be obscured behind them. Nice job overall the a relaxing experience!

Hallo,

Thank you for sharing your game. I’ve already saved its RATING;

1. verified: GAME due to observed you wrote a review for “A Game of 2”; adds: had previously observed GAME in LIST of SUBMISSIONS, but opted NOT to PLAY due to title image, with keyphrase: noticeable use of 3D shapes, albeit FEMALE character does NOT appear to be so based on 3D FACE

2. notes: noticeable soundtrack as that used in PlayStation 2, et cetera; keyphrase: Shadow of the Colossus (PS2);

3. observed: rotation movement of Character causes additional step animation; remembered: Resident Evil 1 (PS1), albeit GAME NOT exactly so;

4. notes: automatic CAMERA movement to NOT cause noticeable ERRORS, in contrast to select PS1 and PS2 GAMES at the TIME, when Super Mario 64 with the open 3D world camera movement appeared to be the technology promulgated via video games magazines; remembers: self to prefer the Crash Bandicoot (PS1) camera system;

5. reached: level after “Sunflowers are Yellow”; notes: in the previous, “Violets are Blue”, 3D flower object reminded me of Hydrangeas; adds: observation of self to verify stopping due to title name supposedly is: “Roses are Red”;

Thank you. Health!

Very unique and different experience compared to other submissions. The soundtrack was wonderful and the colours beautifully selected. There are some terrain features that I got stuck on in a few places which can take you out of the relaxing atmosphere but it's minor. Well done on the submission, great work :)

Good soundtrack. The player moves too slow in my opinion.

I second orchredev's comment. It's enjoyable but it is a different experience than most of the other games. Very cool vibes playing it

Lovely game. Interesting concept, and cool graphics, but the character feels slow and it feels like it takes a while to beat

Submitted(+1)

Interesting concept, feels like I'm watching a music video more than playing a game. I kind of have a hard time rating this because I wouldn't judge it in the same way I would most games. I would maybe make going up slopes slightly easier, as I felt blocked a few times and needed to go around. But the core idea is already there, not sure what could be added.

I love the color palette you chose for this. Very soothing!

Not a bad idea. The character moves too slowly.

Great music and pretty vocals

Very refreshing experience after rating a lot of games in a row:)

It's a very beautiful and meditative game.

Such a pretty low poly art.

This is really beautiful and immersive! I really love it.

What a lovely little game. Between the visuals and the audio, it has a very serene atmosphere. Even though I was just walking around, I really enjoyed this relaxing game and discovering the different flowers.

I can't believe I actually spent so much time in this game and found all the flowers. Simple but engaging. Nice game! Very pretty too.

Soothing experience. Really like the sound! But a bit more variation to the gameplay wouldn't hurt :)

Peaceful experience. The music is a bit loud at first but really great.

The only thing that maybe "impacted" my experience was the animation mother nature was taking when unlocking a new zone. But it's really a minor issue.

Great submission !
