I dig this. I really do.
It's not exactly the most replayable game, but boy did I enjoy every minute of it. It's such a simple concept. Tnstead of falling into the art not-game category, it manages to also be a puzzle.
The music works so well here.
The only real critique here is that the graphics feel a bit amateurish. But that's OK, because they work well.
EVERYONE PLAY THIS, PLEASE it's quite touching really
Thanks man!
We are really happy reading your comment. It made us feel real good after this 3 long days!
The reason the art is not so good is because we are not artists actually we just love to make games and we try to improve our art every day :)
Thanks again
Some hope in the world doesn't hurt
I loved it, it's a great philosophical point of view, and everything in it is so true =)
This is good. I'm shifting my perspective as I rate this game. With the hat I normally wear while rating games, I'd say something like "Appropriate art, nice music, but it was frustrating to go pixel hunting and there's no reason to play it again."
But, lets put on a different hat for this game. This game is an experience. It's a message. It is a point. Why should it have replayability? Once the point is made, its made. Why was I frustrated by hunting pixels? Because I hadn't seen the point yet. The game gave me time and let me find it on my own.
You folks have just made a game that excels at communication. That's important and rare. We/I tend to value games for more vague feelings of experience or excitement. Yours told me something worth hearing and was clear, concise, and well executed. Good job.
netguy204 I take off my hat as a respect for you. Your comment gave us happiness because now we know we were succeeded in sending the message :)
My favorite so far!
This game was really funny... I hope at least somewhat intentionally. I like how half of the game is forcing people to smile. One suggestion, should probably highlight the leaf you haven't played yet that is now available.
A definite "feel good" kind of game. I know some people who feel down the dumps that should play this to lift their spirits.
This game will touch our hearts for a better relationship with others... Good job :D
Very good and original concept. A positive feeling game. Good job.
I love it. Very uplifting.
Very cute game. It's an interesting refreshing take on that kind of puzzle game. I like the messages it's trying to send, and the music works really well with the atmosphere. It's great to see a small game send a message like this, everyone can really relate to these messages.
While in some ways maybe a bit cheesy, and a bit simplistic, I did find it fun and working well with the themes. While not all levels were created equally in difficulty (and none are especially difficult), it's a charming game that is intriguing while it lasts. Feels there could be more done for actual gameplay and possibly a way to deliver in or home more on its message of change of perspective. Still though, charming would be the word I would choose to describe it.
I loooooved the music in this. The game also adheres closely to the theme. It allowed me to look past the MS Paint graphics! Good job!
Really nice relaxing game, definitely a breath of fresh air from all the actiony games i've been playing recently. Also inspiring. Nice job on that!
Smiles for everyone!
not so much a game, more a message. but at that it does a good job!
Manly tears ;_; no, really.
Very touching and inspiring. I'm gonna go out tomorrow and make someone happy (or at least try!)
Great take on the theme. Stands out in that way. Love the vibe too.
Neat game. I really enjoyed trying to piece together what I needed to do with the least amount of clicks necessary. Turn that frown upside down.
That's a great phylocophic game, and the concept was original.
It corresponds very well with the theme. Good job :)
An amazing and touching experience
The game's message would have been more powerful with some neater graphics. The puzzles could have also been more challenging, although I get that that was not the main focus of the game. The messages of the game could have been more subtle, but you still got the feeling of a good atmosphere thanks to the soundtrack.
This is wonderful. It's put a big smile on my face :)
While not well polished, this game definitely felt good. I echo everything netguy said. =)
It's not tears, i'm sweating through the eyes! ç_Ç
Very good message you have here!
This was really touching :)
It's really a different approach to the theme. I quite liked it! Nice concept. :)
Good job!
that was pretty cool and cute at the same time. You could argue that its to simple because all you do is click everywhere until you find the right things but I liked it. Sometimes the result is quiet surprising. :)
Thank you for this. It's special. When this theme was announced the first thing I did was look on wikipedia
Good concept, it is a nice work around life and minimalism:) perhaps graphics so simple but the game is funy to play
Quite illustrative. Good.
So loveable! <3
:( -> :D
Great way to use the theme! I enjoyed it and played thru til the end. Nice job!
Really love it! Thank you for your game. It's so touching!
<3
Amazingly done.
Really quite a sweet little game.
