A fantastic game. The theme of roots is implemented better in this game than anywhere else. I’ve played it twice :-)

Nice art and a lovely sidekick with the dj magpie :-)

Cute little Roberto :-)

Thanks! I am honest, I like to play it myself to calm down from work :-)

Yes, absolutely!

Sure. Fundamentally, the sense of calm should be preserved. No point system, no scoring based on speed or thoroughness. But I wanted to make the world feel more alive and varied—by having small animals (like hedgehogs or squirrels) startle and run off when disturbed from their hiding spots beneath the leaves; by occasionally encountering someone walking their dog (without exchanging a word) or seeing a car drive past. I also envisioned more variation in the background and the house facades—voices drifting from an open window, music, or laughter. Everything distant and out of reach. And you, caught in a state of isolation and monotony, yet also calm and contentment. Perhaps it is actually a bit autobiographical :-)

I have found your mails deep in the spam :-( Sorry for that. I write you via mail.

Tank you!

That was the goal!

Thanks very much, my leaf blower mate :-)

Thanks and I agree with use regarding the background - the time ran out ...

Thanks for the kind words – and yes, the background really should have been just as detailed, but I ran out of time :-/

How can I make my tree grow?

Thanks, buddy. I had plenty of ideas to improve the gameplay, but the limited time was the issue. All the graphics for this project were hand-drawn, as were the animations—and I’m still quite new to Godot. The skeletal animations and particle systems drove me crazy :-)

Hello, I am very honored that you enjoyed my interpretation of the "Game Poem" theme, and I was absolutely thrilled to take first place amidst such strong competition!

You can reach me at the following (temporary) email address: 4qzcftgcr@mozmail.com

I would, of course, be happy to share my "real" email address with you for further communication.

Best regards,
Peter (aka Boronho)

Thank you very much, mate

I’m really excited about the competition results and am looking forward to them. Does anyone else feel the same way? I’d love to read a few updates on it in the meantime.

Very nice and very calming. A place to rest. Sweet idea!

I never get the other one :-) Next time I try harder! I think I am just not working hard enough :-D
