The whole narrative feels real in a way that is hard to describe, and the psychological portrayal of the inner monologue is eerily spot-on. The symbolism of it all really struck me as well thought-out and effective.
I appreciate the sound design choices, and to anyone looking to experience it, I'd strongly reccommend having the sound turned on otherwises you're going to miss out on cues about actions not textually described.
Talking about these topics and dynamics is not easy, let alone doing it while keeping all the nuance. It's games like this that tempt me to make a space to host some of my longer-form thoughts. I tip my metaphorical hat to you.
thank you so much for the feedback! The mechanics definitely need polish, I'm positive sound design will also help to make things feel more responsive and intuitive! As for the colors piling up, I'll be looking into it, thank you for pointing it out!
The drag and drop was something I was extremely close to give up on, because it was such a headache to have it even somewhat working as it is now! I mostly managed to wrap my head around it in the end, so I'm positive I can tweak it further ^^
In the next versions flowers won't be scaled down when dragging, and the sprites will be re-centered to be more intuitive, so most of the issues should be solved :D thank you for playing and the nice feedback, we will surely expand/polish the game in the future!
thank you so much for the kind words <3 we'll definitely be polishing this game in the near future, adding actual gameplay and character depth, stay tuned!!
thank you so much!! honestly in retrospect we should've cut some customization to make room for more gameplay, we'll be sure to compensate when the jam is over!! stay tuned and thanks for playing <3
I liked this a lot!! Really impressive with all the assets being hand-drawn, the vibe is definitely on point and the music fits very well. Having the different stages of growth looks amazing, and the little animations keep the screen looking interesting without it ever looking too still
thank you so much for playing and the nice feedback!! Starset (the artist) had designed and drawn three more characters that in the end we couldn't fit due to time constraints, we'll be sure to bring their stories to life in a future update :D
Sure! For me it took a bit to differentiate at a glance the various types of "plants" since the wind effect made them all wobble a bit, it seemed a bit busy at a first glance but it took me only a couple of minutes to adjust and then it felt fine
Hey this was super cool to play!! Really fits the game jam's vibe, and I was really impressed by the billboarded 2.5D look you went for! Also the title screen is absolutely gorgeous
Really really charming artstyle, and the narrative about the village surely is interesting! I'm sure with more time you'll polish it into something quite interesting :D
Really great and cozy game! Controls felt intuitive, I encountered a bug where a recipe wouldn't be accepted but it's really really impressive considering the duration of the jam!
Really cool game! At first it can seem confusing but the tutorials and the gifs do a nice job of visually explaining the mechanics which quickly become clear :D a lot of fun
i'm glad you enjoyed the game and the illustrations, thank you for playing!! the game has systems to support that exact mechanic, but we sadly had to cut it when we realised we were way behind schedule on the last day. Fingers crossed we'll be able to fit it into a full release!
