hey! I believe you just hit enter on either the sign post or the plants themselves. It’s wild, it’s been so long since I’ve played it I don’t recall. Oh dear. Thanks for giving it a go though! Thinking I should as well now haha 😂 

I loved this!! The mood and lighting was beautiful, the writing was funny and clever. The pacing was good. I accidentally skipped more puzzles than I meant to, just by being a fool but I thought the makeup of the puzzles were really clever and well thought out. I'm so blown away by how polished it looked!!! The flower jumping puzzles especially made an impression. The whole dream sequence looked so cool. Always love ur work Limin and sad forest yuri will always reign supreme <3 

aww I love that! Glad ur having fun. It’s so cool what creativity these jams bring out. 

hey! There’s two animal forms you unlock as the story progresses. Cat and bird. With the bird form you can fly around and get the red flowers. 

Thanks for giving it a go! sorry it's inaccessible to you. My newer games use a newer engine and you can click to navigate instead of using arrow keys. I may remake this one some day but not any time soon. 

hey thanks! Yeah haha this one was the very first of my long marathon of jam games, let’s just say I improved along the way 😂 appreciate you giving it a go. 

Good question! You can include how much of the theme a you want. There’s a category of voting that is “theme” and the worst case scenario is you may get voted low in that area. But as long as you touch on it you can include as much or as little of the theme as you’d like. Just there for inspiration!

It can be very cool to see how what you come up with compares to the other entries when everyone is sticking close to the theme. But this is a very casual jam! Do what inspires you. 

Oxy!!! Thank you for playing it and for these words!!! Your attention to detail never fails to amaze me haha. Out of everything you said I love that you noticed the "I'm here!" note on the wall haha. There's so many silly things we add in as devs when it's late and we're tired and I'm just trying to fill a damn wall with apocalypse scribbles and thinking about the real world people who would write these things and it feels SO cool that these things are noticed in some way. 

Stacy.O was so nice to work with!! I feel so grateful he reached out, he does like really professional stuff haha. It's pretty cool. I'd throw feelings and vibes and plot outlines at him and he come back with the coolest sci-fi noises I'd ever heard and I vividly remember like sitting up at my desk and being like "ah shit I gotta up my game" haha. Time to step it up!! And I feel fairly chuffed with how it turned out. This one was a doozy and WILDLLLLLDDDDDDDD to program. You know it's all one ONE map?? with just events? I had 0 tilesets in the game which was so strange haha. Just a blank map with a few rows of events I had stacked up to keep track of the different chapters (Also - so funny, I 100% also called it a bunker, bunker is perfect word haha that's the word I used to label all the pics from that area, literally couldn't be more correct in your assumption). It felt so strange every time I opened the project I'd have this quiet moment of panic that it looked like nothing was done but it was of course, a whole ass game. Just rows and rows of show image and move images haha. Felt very inspired by you actually for good chunks of it and how you did Seabound! I thought about the layers and the movement of the screens a lot while picturing how I wanted it to feel. 

Also!! so funny about the text boxes haha you'll laugh at me, I had to manually hit space bar and line them up. RPG maker is insane for how it does text box alignments there's just no way to align them I guess. I never thought about how it would slow down going through them, I wonder if it counts all my spaces as individual characters. I sincerely never noticed!! I'll have to fiddle with that and see if I can find a nicer solution.

I should write more romance stories you're right! They're very fun. I struggle with them in short form I think? Just planning them out the pacing and the build idk I get too in my head about it, so that's why I do avoid them a bit for jams haha. But for my Big Project that Definitely Exists it's going to be a romance and that's exciting. 

And speaking of my big project that definitely exists, fun fact, the main characters name is Hope. So hearing you mention how that felt at the core of this made me smile <3 Gotta have Hope, no matter what. 

Heyo! Thanks for giving it a go 🥳🥳

Yup! We’re pretty chill, mostly here to celebrate the genre and boost creativity. Excited to see what you cook up! Feel free to join the discord as well and you can make a progress thread there if you want more feedback or input on ur work as you go. 

Hey! Yeah, that's more than fine. There have been quite a few entries in the past that have used real time combat. Daybloom Project did one a while back that was really cool. As long as you're just trying to adhere to the vibes of RM style games you're all good👍👍

Ahh thank you!! Thanks for giving it a go <3

This was so cute and beautiful. I love the art, I love the colors. The set up here for puzzles and dream shenanigans is really really cool. I hope you keep going with this and we can see more!!

Ahh Oxy!! Thank you so much for your kind words, you're always so thoughtful <3 I'm glad it hit well. Wasn't Eggy's art beautiful?? I did the tilesets but they did the character art and that LOVELY photo at the end. When I first saw it I legit cried haha. It was such a cool experience working with someone else this closely on a project.

I'm glad it hit and felt respectful! I always want to approach dark subjects with intention, not just shock value. It's very important to me to have a message behind what I'm doing. I'm glad you liked the speech bubbles! They were a fun challenge for myself, trying to get emotions and story across with such a limited tool was really fun to think through. You're an inspiration for me for timing in conversations in RM! I feel you nail the beats and pauses of a conversation really well. Thank you for the heads up about the bugs! Easy fixes thankfully lol. 

Raven super killed it with the tunes! I'll have to pass ur comment along to him in case he doesn't see it. It's been wild working with so many talented music ppl game after game, I feel so lucky?? Idk haha it's just, wild. All the ppl I've met doing these. The creativity of this community never ceases to blow me away idk blaahh. Ahh, thanks again a million times for your time and care <3 

Hey! Good job on yall for your first game. I ran into some bugs and wasn't able to progress very far, but I see where your vision is headed. Please let me know if there's something I'm missing in how to progress or if it's just a bug, when you get it updated. Would like to see the rest! 

thank you so much for giving it a go!! very helpful feedback, for sure. I think in hindsight I wish I had added more to each of the rooms so the repetition felt more rewarding at least, like diff story beats etc, but ultimately I'm glad I just figured out and learned from how to implement the mechanic at all haha. Love using jam games as an opportunity to learn new stuff about the engine. Thanks again for your time and comment! Telling me what worked and what didn't really helps me learn etc etc. 

This was lovely! the puzzles were clever and it felt like a dark step into a common and realistic struggle. I felt really bad for her.

hey! Awesome no worries, happens to us all. Glad you got back to me and I can finish it hopefully! Loving the art and puzzles so far 🥳

heyo! I was just trying this out and got a little stuck on the "count the body parts" puzzle. I get that (Spoilers lol) I should count the body parts on the enemies but I've tried a few times and keep getting wrong answer. Not sure what I'm mixing up! I've tried different takes on what "counts" (like if the monster has a foot does that count as a foot? and does the entire hand shape count as a hand for the hand monster?) but i keep getting wrong answer even when trying to take all the nuance into account. 

I really like what I've played so far though! 

ahh thank you!! I’m so looking forward to ur game too, I adore ur style sm. That means a lot 🫶❤️ 

looking forward to it! Dont wanna jinx it but I dooo often make YouTube videos and post them of ppls games so 😎😎 gonna try and record some later today 👍

ahh thank you! Had a lot of fun drawing little bubble animations haha. 

Thanks for this!! Really really, those are the kind of tweaks and changes that are hard to predict and balance blind, ya know? I appreciate knowing what worked and what didn't so I can zero in on better mechanics and balance. And almost everything you mentioned were things that I waffled with on how to balance haha. Not complaints at all, games should be fun and pull you forward in an entertaining way and finding that balance is something I feel I could spend hours talking about lol. So always happy to hear detailed feedback and thoughts on where I could improve with design . Thanks again for your time! 

Ahh thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I love trying to tap into parts of life that ring with truth, ya know? 

And i like to take weird risks for jam games so if you ever wanna share your thoughts about the gameplay, negative or otherwise feel free! You won't hurt my feelings, I use jams to learn and grow so I can apply that to my bigger projects. 

Appreciate you giving it a go <3 

Awwww, so sweet. It's funny - I had that thought too when I saw your name initially hahaha. Looking forward to giving your game a go too! Thanks for your nice comment <3 

Denial is a river in Egypt 😎❤️

ahh! Thank you so much!! 🥳🥳 

Ahh!! the art style for this one really stood out to me and I so, so enjoyed it. Really cute and I liked how text boxes looked. And the expressions were so entertaining and sweet. Good job!

I really loved the painterly feel of the art in this one!! Felt really dream like. 

Aww I loved this, the art was so detailed and the aesthetics of the world is not only SO original feeling but really really cool. Felt like, nautical punk almost haha. I think if I could give pointers I wanted more visual distinction in the text boxes for who was talking when (like color changes or font or placement, idk), but that's a very small thing in an otherwise grand package -and ultimately a personal preference, there's no right or wrong way to do art. Excited to see the rest! 

This was so beautiful!! I really enjoyed the world building and the art, can't wait to see the rest of it. 

Ahh I wanted to post this when I posted my other comment on the jam page but my computer was being a butthead so I am only just now uploading the video lol. Really loved this! Had a lot of fun! 

This was so cute!! I loved the gameplay loop, it felt easy to understand and made me feel active in the world. I adored the colors and aesthetics so much, I was laughing and giggling throughout it. I really appreciated how detailed the art was in the backgrounds as well. All of the small animations where really beautiful, noteably the potion bottle from Dahlia and the way things sometimes flew around. 

I've never used Renpy so I'm not terribly familiar with the engine but this ran smoothly and I didn't run into any bugs! The UI was clean and clear and the music was really sweet. I especially liked the tender track with the vocalizations near the end. 

The almost B plot of the war and the demon lord felt like it fit the world and was also felt self aware and silly haha. It was fun, felt almost like a pastel themed scooby-doo episode, if that makes sense. Really great job yall!! 

The art and color palette for this whole project worked really well together. I thought it balanced the humor and the gross parts of those older fairytales really well. I was only passingly familiar with the Lindworm and still had a fun time. I found the text a little hard to read at first but the longer I read the easier it got.

I really liked the elements of like, how do I put this, this sense of, people want love and almost a metaphor for chronic illness or pain. Pain can make us twisted versions of ourselves and make it easy for people to want to push you away, to not want to "deal with it". And I thought it was sweet the solution here was not just an easy ending. But a painful washing and transition. A shedding of harm and pain and neglect. Idk! I really liked it. 

This was so beautiful!! I really enjoyed the art and style of it, it worked really well with the fairytale vibe.

😎

hey! Thanks for giving it a go! Your response to the game really moved my heart. It means a lot to see people enjoy what you work so hard to make. I love a sad sad story haha. And so nice to hear Abra (who did Rirou) pointed you here. There’s some crazy talent in these jams. Eggy also made a really good sad one this jam and LiminAce makes some really funny games. 

It’s funny I always forget that rpg maker has controller support so this was very educational to watch as well 😂🥳 gotta update my controls tutorial images! 

Abra I loved this!! The art was really beautiful, the music was chilling and I felt really caught up in this like, twisted fairy tale. You have such a talent for finding and capturing this dream like feeling, the perfect balance of everything working together and also being surprising every step of the way <3  

oh wow! Thanks for giving it a go. Yeah it was totally inspired by Dante’s inferno, you nailed it!! 🥳🔥😎

aww Oxy you're so nice! thanks for taking time to give it a go haha. I was having the worst dev-block? Like i just felt like I couldn't face down eventing in a way i rarely struggle with. It was weird! And just doing this very simple little goof was a very fun almost warm up or speed paint that really helped. Sweet simple and all I had to draw was funny numbers haha.

I love making little self indulgant jokes about my characters haha. i haven't done any sequels or anything so it was fun to kinda take a walk down memory lane with them. Definitely for sure this is the canon secret ending to Tiny Floof 10000%. 

Thank you for writing up such a nice comment, I always so appreciate your words.
