I love you

split82 2013-04-30 00:16

Yes! Perfect in every single way.

alanzucconi 2013-04-30 00:29

A short, lovely game.
I particularly enjoyed the music. It fits perfectly! :-)
And the character... well... it resemble the one from CHROMA. So this is another reason to love it! :-)

chrysiridia 2013-04-30 01:20

So cute! Also, please tell me the main character is a potato.

goulding57 2013-04-30 01:43

Very nice. Loved just jumping around, seeing the things. Great feel to it. I enjoyed watching the birds fly away.

janmavzla 2013-04-30 02:04

All my start are belong to you. 5/5. This game is so well done. I cannot praise you enough.

Your influences reflect in the game and I absolutely love them. You've got yourselves a new follower. I'm looking forward to more of your games

nate427 2013-04-30 02:08

Incredible, just incredible! The atmosphere is wonderfully cheerful and the gameplay is great. 5/5

colorvade 2013-04-30 02:31

This has some great atmosphere. First time I've given a 5 in mood.

irock 2013-04-30 02:59

Wind Waker and Fez are really good games to be inspired by. I really like it.

andrio 2013-04-30 03:42

Claw, I am deeply and seriously in love with this.

sakuyan 2013-04-30 03:55

I love this so much. But the Squirrel... what is it?! I must know!!!

danhett 2013-04-30 06:04

This warmed my blackened husk of a heart, outstanding work chaps.

2013-04-30 10:03

Great work! I'm a fan of the mechanics and love the style of art. Big ups!

jijaweb 2013-04-30 10:38

It was like playing mini-Fez. I hope I made it to the end. Just made it to the final words...

GREAT WORK!

wan 2013-04-30 10:43

Great entry! This little gem will help waiting for the release of Chroma ;)

2013-04-30 11:14

Great little game. Nice use of spatial dynamics to create interesting obstacles.

I *think* I've completed it but the game hasn't explicitly told me that, so I'm leaving it running in the background in case there's more :)

fredericrp 2013-04-30 11:17

Very well done !

jubjub-2 2013-04-30 11:47

I just finished the game, and I have to say it's the best I've played so far. I loved everything about it, the gliding mechanic, the flowers and the mood were all top notch.

edocentrique 2013-04-30 14:46

This is the most Perfect entry i saw on other a hundred, mine included as well ! You guys rock!

hyakutaro 2013-04-30 15:47

Just fisished. And i love it!

hackthepanda 2013-04-30 18:54

Absolutely marvelous, really nice job :D

314 2013-04-30 19:10

Great game! Reminds me of the original Knytt games.

pixelulsar 2013-04-30 19:49

Nice game!
I liked the gliding mechanic and the atmosphere was great.

geepit 2013-04-30 20:46

Simply fantastic! Every aspect was amazing. Loved it

nightshadow0 2013-04-30 20:48

Beautiful game, loved it!

leafmealone 2013-05-01 03:39

Was this game named after me? haha I use LeafMeAlone for almost everything I do! Game wasn't too shabby either :)

oddballdave 2013-05-01 09:50

Great work Mark. And great work on the audio Dave. This one has got the best music of the entries I've played so far.

komiga 2013-05-01 20:52

Awesome stuff. Definitely feeling the FEZ in this.

tifu 2013-05-02 11:01

Awesome. I really like the abilities the little guy finds, they're not the standard set of things you find in most metroidvanias, and it's all real adorable :3

drgeraud 2013-05-03 01:26

Guys, I just fall in love with your game.
I can't believe there is so much great games created during this LD, just WOAW.

jackspinoza 2013-05-03 02:39

just incredible, one of the nicest games I've played. love love love. It sucked me in and gave me a cuddle. super. I'm going to share it with my little sisters and all my chums. Thanks for this game, so accomplished. 5/5 all over the place. great stuff.

evilseanbot 2013-05-03 10:35

I loved this game a lot.

My only caveat is that I thought the next goal is a little too unclear after you grab the first star, but other than that I thought the game was absolutely fantastic.

matthias_zarzecki 2013-05-03 22:06

Well, this is amazingly lovely. Nice work! :D

epaik 2013-05-04 01:29

so good

ithildin 2013-05-05 19:00

This is one of the most polished games I've found so far. Graphics and music are beautiful, and so is gameplay (I'm still exploring after the first leave, though). Congratulations! =)

broxter 2013-05-06 10:07

A very pleasant experience. The pixel art is cute and the audio is fitting and nice. Some of the platforming is a little tedious, although I really like the leaf and how it is used mechanically.

SuperlevelSebastian 2013-05-06 12:26

I don't want to type anything else, just: <33333

andrewtwest 2013-05-09 04:36

Absolutely amazing. I can't believe how good this is.

savethejets1 2013-05-09 05:33

Amazing... This _is_ the best Ludum Dare game I've ever played in all the ludum dares I've taken part in. Great work!

euwaku 2013-05-09 06:12

Maybe one of the best entries I could test so far. You could amply feel the Fez influence, but I still loved it. Congratulations :)

stevejohnson 2013-05-09 06:36

A few rough spots and finicky bits with the vertical air jets. But holy cow, what a fun experience!

naufr4g0 2013-05-09 07:31

Amazing game! :D
I love game mechanics and all sounds (music & sfx).
It reminds me a lot of Knytt series with its delightful atmosphere.

turbodindon 2013-05-09 08:15

Beautiful and poetic game. It look like a minimalist-2D-FEZ.
Wonderful atmosphere and music.

galman 2013-05-09 09:15

Perfect game! I'll be really happy if this game will win :D Well done! Btw, there's an invisible block in the end..

numpad 2013-05-09 09:36

That is so great! The music and sounds were awesome and the floating mechanic. Wow!
Awesome work!

timtipgames 2013-05-09 09:41

Love it. Especially the music.

tcstyle 2013-05-09 11:36

Beautiful game, nice mechanics. The level design could be streamlined a bit. Didn't like the end.

sestren 2013-05-09 12:50

The sound was superb and the gameplay was fun and engaging. Excellent job!

dector 2013-05-09 13:45

Very cute game!

danielcmessias 2013-05-09 15:16

Beautiful game! Love it!

minionstudios 2013-05-09 15:38

Love this game, so well done!

stqn 2013-05-09 18:40

Nice game, but jerky scrolling and I abandonned after trying like 10 times to reach the squirrel on his throne (?). Doesn't seem very theme-ish.

goerp 2013-05-09 20:04

By now, I cannot add anything that hasn't been said above.
Just a magnificent game and the soundtrack, the best I've heard so far.

shawn42 2013-05-10 02:05

Beautifully done. I felt like the character had just a little too much momentum. It took me a while to compensate for it.

I wouldn't be surprised if this game wins in the overall category.

ethankennerly 2013-05-10 05:14

The light graphics and lilting ambient sounds and music enchanted me. If you continue to develop this, I felt some difficulty getting to the next platform from the first blowing flower.

wallmasterr 2013-05-10 09:59

awesome little game , couldnt figure out what to do after the 2nd ability thoug, i went back and collected some white cubes but then got lost. Nice animations and music, overall grate.

nilstastic 2013-05-10 11:03

Pros: Nice moody feeling, good music and good graphics (and animations)!
Cons: A bit low fps? (have a computer that should be able to handle it)

Jeremias 2013-05-10 17:50

One of the best games I played so far. Really. Playing this was just like meditation :D

Great sounds, great music, lovely graphics, small puzzles with the right difficulty. Just great.

ohsqueezy 2013-05-11 09:15

Super duper! From start to finish! Cute and vivacious!

grambler1 2013-05-12 15:29

How do you get to the squirrel? :c

grambler1 2013-05-12 21:04

Ah I figured it out with help from the dev. ^_^

Such an adorable game, I can't but love it. The graphics and sound creates a very cutesy aesthetic which just makes you wanna squeal. Simply baffling.

Excellent job! ~

taro 2013-05-13 05:29

Definitely a Windwaker-like mini-Metroidvania. Had a lot of fun!

fadobo 2013-05-13 07:57

Lovely Experience!

atraxgames 2013-05-13 10:49

Beautiful and perfect under every aspect.

sylvain-p 2013-05-14 04:37

Well polished, and very long game for a LD.

michail 2013-05-15 17:15

Absolutely beautiful!

ryusui 2013-05-16 04:57

Simply beautiful. I just wish there was a bit more resolution. Loved the Squirrel King, BTW. XD

martijn 2013-05-18 08:33

Definitaly a windwaker vibe. Pretty fun to play actually.

lorancou 2013-05-18 16:55

Cute but a bit too hard for me. I lose patience quickly with platformers, got stuck inside the tree with the blowing flowers... I wish the jumps were a bit easier. But congrats on the mood!

alprog 2013-05-19 11:25

Best level design, that I seen on competition and organic tips about control. So beautiful, so cute, so indie way. Must play.

hiku 2013-05-19 12:19

Love.

roupette 2013-05-19 14:42

So cute ! I want to plane again !

xanjos 2013-05-19 16:32

Really good atmosphere, excellent music, nice graphics plus an amazing world to explore. Some of the platforming elements were hard but the mechanics were done so well. An absolutely amazing game overall.

deathray 2013-05-19 19:15

Adorable! I got frustrated with the platforming while inside the tree, but I loved the atmosphere and the animation of the main character.

diningphilosopher 2013-05-19 19:43

Awesome! :)

_alts 2013-05-20 05:29

This is a really polished and beautiful game. Doesn't feel particularly on-theme, but well done anyway.

rafaelsales 2013-05-20 22:44

Fantastic game! One of the best entries! Marvelous art, sound and mood. Congratulations!

snoringfrog 2013-05-20 23:31

Adorable game, beautiful sounds. Got stuck looking for the third star, but that's because I had completely overlooked the existence of the area where it was located. Great work.

georgebroussard 2013-05-21 00:20

Awesome game. I think I finished it? Got a message, exited the 3-gem room and the game reset? Pretty great job. Music is perfection. Can I contact you for music? :) Art great, and the game mechanics are solid. Only issue I had was getting enough momentum from the 3 jump pads in the squirrel room to get up top. Took me forever to find the magic momentum spot.

vaelzan 2013-05-21 05:18

Lovely. Finished the game and also found the owl! I found it a bit too hard to find the third star/gem though. One thing I might want to see is the ability to press down to clip back through platforms. Great entry, and grats on the score!

degtyarev 2013-05-21 06:44

Awesome games, i'm happy it's first place!

infin8 2013-05-21 09:11

Awesome! Seems Kinda hard though, all the jumps are always on the edge from the start.

andrewshouldice 2013-05-21 14:41

This is delightful! Well done and congratulations!

2013-05-21 19:49

Could have been a flawless game. But after I got the ability to drop chestnuts and make my own float flowers, I was completely lost. I searched the area for about half an hour. Finally I decided to backtrack and returned to the inside of the tree. I made my way up to the top of the tree and dropped down to the left side to see what was down there. There was a ledge at the bottom.

No way to suicide.

No way to restart the area.

No way to get back up.

Forced to end game and lose progress.

I'm not sure the logic on how one should rate a game that is otherwise pleasant but impossible to complete due to low intelligence on the part of the creator.

I'm going to give it a 5/10.

beldarak 2013-05-22 02:27

Plain awesome. I'm glad you won ;)

gravitygames 2013-05-22 04:51

...wow. I'm absolutely astonished. HOW THE HECK DID YOU MAKE A GAME SO GOOD IN 48 HOURS? I MUST KNOW!

...but seriously, I'm really glad you won, you definitely deserved it. I really loved the Fez atmosphere I got from it, heck, this game pretty much already feels professional, you should make a post-mortem and put it on Steam or something!

wan 2013-05-22 10:49

Congrats on winning despite your low intelligence ;)

mes 2013-05-22 12:51

that ending... lmao

2013-05-23 06:57

hey!!
,mirror!
the dropbox is not working, too much traffic! too popular for dropbox!

claw 2013-05-23 07:38

Re-uploaded it, you can play here: http://iamclaw.com/?page_id=250

shawnfeatherly 2013-05-25 23:25

Two spoilers/walkthrough tips for those stuck:
1. The objective of the game has to do with the door that you start the game next to.
2. The spinning flowers give you momentum if you continue floating by more than one.

Coil_Whine 2013-11-09 05:53

It's... beautiful.
