Good artsy stuff, great relax after two days and nights of jamming.

gabehollombe 2013-04-29 04:10

Love the music. Beautiful execution that conveys serenity. Well-done.

Great game! Nice, relaxing, also fun. Have an upvote!

raincole 2013-04-29 06:58

It looks like art and feels like art. It's definitely art.

Beautiful. I love how the trees grow outside of the "bounds".

ianmaclarty 2013-04-29 09:06

Really beautiful. I love the way the trees grow outside the game frame.

oatsbarley 2013-04-29 10:19

I love so much about this! The leaves floating about when you move are great, and the trees (and the way the break out of the frame) are lovely. I'm definitely going to be going over the source for this and seeing how you did everything.

Really loved this. Very relaxing and pretty.

jase 2013-04-29 12:17

Very nice :)

quill18 2013-04-29 12:30

Absolutely stunning. Nothing more to say.

mikelovesrobots3 2013-04-29 15:18

Amazing.

diamonde 2013-04-29 19:33

Simply amazing.

Really nice looking game with a well thought concept. Had good fun playing this, great job!

robcozzens 2013-04-30 00:11

That was beautiful!

I only wish that the trees were affected by the wind.

Cool concept, fits the theme well and nice music. Reminded me a bit of Flower by thatgamecompany. It would be nice if there was more of a progression to the gameplay or some kind of goal. Also when you are moving in a direction against the edge of the screen it should adjust the camera so you can see farther ahead.

I really like the evolution of the SFX regarding the wind velocity.
I get lost sometime on this too much white background for me.

linuus 2013-04-30 13:02

The game feels very polished and professional for an LD! :)

Unprecedented design and quality. Very unique and innovative. Nice to relax with this entry after several dozen retro shooters that make beepy noises. Thumbs up!

fishbrain 2013-05-01 07:07

Hypnotic and beautiful. Well done!

ataxkt 2013-05-01 09:02

Really great! Love the mood, although I'm not keen on the music.

atraxgames 2013-05-01 09:04

Wow. This feel like an interactive poem

lioneljitro 2013-05-01 09:05

Really nice and peaceful. I love the movement of "the wind". Seeing the trees grow is pretty cool as well.

dustystylus 2013-05-01 10:12

For me, this is what Ludum Dare is often about. Great ideas implemented in a really beautiful way. Great stuff!

jod 2013-05-01 12:10

Very relaxing, love to see the trees grow. Very pretty indeed!

fangh 2013-05-01 13:07

Good job !

sonnybone 2013-05-01 13:36

Wow. Didn't expect to get 6 real types of trees that all grow so differently and beautifully. Great work! Really great work.

8bitpimp 2013-05-01 13:57

Damn it, this didnt seem to run in my browser :(
It also said webaudio wasnt supported too.
But I just got a white screen. The screen shots look great though.

saguaro 2013-05-01 14:23

Zen, poetry. You are a poet. <3

clavus 2013-05-01 19:05

Great little game. Very relaxing. Too bad there's some slowdown after you planted all the trees.

nate427 2013-05-01 20:57

Really cool! Very relaxing with a nice overall feel, well done.

lathomas64 2013-05-02 00:10

This was fantastic. I only wish there was a little less confusion near the end when I couldn't find any more seeds and it apparently was just waiting for my last tree to grow some.

alucard-j 2013-05-02 23:01

This is a beautiful game, anyone can play this and have their own experience, thoughts and fulfillment. Well Done =]

travischen 2013-05-03 04:14

Holy amazing. Well done.

dragonee 2013-05-04 21:23

I love the feeling from the game! :)

geckojsc 2013-05-06 15:33

Very pretty! Lovely mellow music. The seeds seemed to appear quite infrequently and randomly, maybe some mechanic that allowed the player to unlock new seeds through creativity or skill would have been interesting.
Excellent work!

ithildin 2013-05-11 13:42

Beautiful :)

alwaysinbeta 2013-05-13 16:39

Lovely concept and great fit with the theme. Very relaxing to play.

ryusui 2013-05-16 06:09

Clever little toy. Am I the only one who can't help but think the Japanese cherry looks oddly stunted, though?

jacques_le_lezard 2013-05-18 17:55

Made a good choice in trying this one! Great atmosphere (visual & sound), clean game, I think I have no negative critics ^^ ...ah no I remember: to be able to have some more tree in one garden would be perfect!

stmatn 2013-05-18 18:44

Epic game! It was a really cool experience to play it. The audio is really great and sets the mood very well. The gameplay was really relaxing. Only thing I can criticize, that the soundeffect for the wind should fade out, when bumping into the levelborder, instead of abruptly stopping. Awesome job!

gungnir 2013-05-19 16:55

Lovely execution. An aid to meditation.

xanjos 2013-05-19 17:04

Absolutely loved the wind sfx and overall, this is a nice game with a really relaxing mood.

spiridion 2013-05-19 17:47

The hunt for seeds got a bit monotonous, but the game's atmosphere was great. I'm not sure what actually ended the game. The share feature is a nice touch.

rafaelsales 2013-05-20 23:16

Great game. It is very Flow style and extremely well done. Congrats!!

snoringfrog 2013-05-21 00:13

Beautiful. Only was able to find about 5 different trees (not sure how many there are), but it was a beautiful game.
