Cool. Very atmospheric. Wasn't sure what the rainbow things were. Also wasn't sure why I couldn't go in the door. Liked the art and music.

I really liked the very minimal moments of the music. It set a nice mood. I got up to a point where the globes didn't have anything more to say. Wasn't sure if there was something for me to do next. The diagonal pixel art style is also pretty interesting!

Couldn't tell what the objective was. :/

That was great! I really liked the overall tone of the game =D
Movement could be a little faster, though...

no idea what was going on, but it was fun

Beautiful music and graphics. Very relaxing to play with!

Good game. Very immersive. You have created a crazy universe!

I'm not sure what I supposed to be doing in this game, but I was certainly very relaxed while I did it. Loved the music.

Nice audio and graphics, movement is a little jarring though and I wasn't sure of the goal. Was an enjoyable ride though!

It's kind of confusing to play this game; it doesn't have a set objective, items and enemies are not really differentiated and many things happen for no specific reason :/

Not sure what I have to do in this game (or IF I have to do anything at all). I seriously dig the minimal music. I would speed up the movement slightly to make it more dinamic.

I love this game. I had no idea what the objective was but still walked around and had fun. good job

haloflooder 2013-05-02 08:31

It was a bit slow and I don't know what my goal is.. so I just spread stuff everywhere.

shigor 2013-05-02 08:32

I have no idea what it meant, since either I missed something or I run out of the text, so I prowled the garden for a while yet and then quit. Moody artistic.... not sure if game, but since I had to wait several before I could get to a text trigger, it could be probably called a game.

Not my cup of tea, although I appreciate the overall mood.

i have no idea what is going on. still i kept playing :-D

interesting game, but I didn't really feel like there was any true objective, or win/lose situation. So I wandered for a while before stopping.

netmute 2013-05-03 06:52

Love the style, not sure what's going on, though ;) Why is my guy pooping rainbows?

gmaker 2013-05-03 07:02

pixelfan 2013-05-03 23:56

epaik 2013-05-04 00:53

I really liked the mood in this one

evoker 2013-05-05 08:36

Very nice soundtrack that fits the theme well. However I didn't feel in control of my character and I wasn't sure how I was affecting the gameworld.

I couldn't figure out the goal or objective of this game.

But recall: the word "goal" comes from the Old English "gal," meaning "obstacle, barrier." Now the goal appears to us! The trees, doors, flowers, and the physical boundary of the ghost garden are all goals, all obstacles and barriers.

The word "object" comes from the Latin "ob-" meaning "against, before" and "jet" meaning "to throw." What is thrown before us in the ghost garden? Ghosts and globes!

So on the one hand, we have the primary object of the game: ghosts. On the other hand, we have the primary goal of the game: the boundary of the garden.

Yet, most of the people here are blinded by stupidity! They see no ghost nor garden. So they can go fuck themselves in a circle-jerk (or whatever that last text bubble said to me in the game, something about fucking).

And what's with the American spelling in "This is the color of my dreams"?

mrevilguy 2013-05-08 09:07

Also, "not sure if game".

andrewshouldice 2013-05-18 20:42

Of course it's a game.
