great game, the atmosphere is there! nice graphics fitting the theme, and my god! a physics engine! :D

i love the atmosphere! I spent much time enjoying it :)

I really want this to be a game so that I can play a lot of it. There was something really magical about the first time I picked up a ball and started rolling faster and faster :)

kbdmaster 2013-04-30 21:27

The atmosphere is great , nice job :)

Really neat! Fits the theme nicely and plays well too!

Enjoyable music. One of the few games with some mood going!

Very pretty. Loved the ball going fast, loads o' fun!

Nice atmosphere and accoustics. But I just couldn't find out whether my actions had the slightest effect on the world. What are the crates for? I opened them, threw around the colored balls and nothing happened. I watched two trees for a while, they created more colored balls and still I had no idea what to do other than throw them around aimlessly.
I'd really like to see something actually grow, or even affect the world around me in some way, but have no idea how to achieve that. =/

@ShellfishGames the balls are seeds, if they stay in touch with the ground long enough they become trees. Red and orange grow slow, white grow really fast, blue grows fast but is unaffected by gravity, so it's a bit tricky to make them turn into trees :)

Wooow ... I didn't understood your game, so I left the computer for a few minutes. Then I came back to my pc and ...
Tadaaaa! A whole forest was growing! Awesome!
I can't say that I understood everything, but I played a lot.
Good game, nice work on the mood.

Can't play, have a mac.

Cool music and concept. Good written =)

messiano 2013-05-01 23:18

Not very fun, b

messiano 2013-05-01 23:19

Not very fun at first, but the atmosphere is great, it's very nice when you realize things are changing

Really nice ambient game, can see myself sinking a lot of time into this game without realising it. Really draws you in and hypnotises you. Nice work!

Nice atmosphere, you guys should develop it more.

psenfilip 2013-05-02 13:12

The game is good overall. Even more when you start growing your seeds.

Notes:
* There is only one way to plant the blue ones. Pretty hard as well.
* I wish there were more seeds in the world. The world is fairly large.
* The white seed seems impossible. I had a time where one just rushed away from my screen as soon as I broke the box. Another time where I did manage to get it but after I tried to place it, it flew right away in opposite wind direction.
* I would take extra care on the wind controls. Either you need to give the play a hint on where the seeds are or something else.

Keep it up since it is a pretty good concept.

Really nice mood. The music is great. Good job!

norgg 2013-05-02 14:43

Pretty and soothing! I love what you've made here, really satisfying to just plant some stuff and have it grow.

robrock55 2013-05-02 18:37

I just... love this game. Everything is awesome in : the gameplay, the music, the trees...

sonnybone 2013-05-03 19:45

LOVE the mood in this game! Great job on nailing the theme.

felix20 2013-05-03 22:56

I would love to see an expanded version of this, with some more things to look at, some added sound effects, and possibly some more gameplay elements this would be really neat.
I enjoyed this a lot, the lack of gameplay wasn't hindering it at all in my opinion.

ddionisio 2013-05-06 07:13

Really cool growth effect, I was able to just sit and watch things grow. The landscape felt a little to big at the beginning though and I manage to hit the end of the world...where there's a mushroom of some sort. Overall this game was a great experience.

depp 2013-05-06 07:30

Kind of a toy. Movement is slow, and the landscape is sparse. It does have nice atmosphere, but it's not very engaging.

twelveplusplus 2013-05-09 08:25

i think it's cool that it's like a toy. that is the making of a good game, when it's just fun to play with it and not have a specific goal. I am actually thinking of making a game kind of like this (finding and growing seeds), so i'm stoked to see this game.

binary_gambit 2013-05-12 01:17

Could not find a white or blue seed. Very enjoyable mood. Really needs some player direction on where to go next like a pointer to the next seed, at least until the player has planted one of each tree.

atkinssj 2013-05-13 10:43

Brilliant! Fun to roll around in, and to play with growing trees. I look forward to seeing how it gets expanded on!

pighead10 2013-05-20 21:57

Really good feel to the game.
