I tried to play, but it seemed unable to load any of the images in game. The application itself was showing the errors, I didn't actually read them over to figure out what they were, but essentially, I kept having to select ignore over and over until pages with only text showed up. I imagine this isn't what it's like on your machine, so I just thought I'd let you know.

I also received these errors.

muffty 2015-12-15 10:24

there seems to be a bug displaying images

bastienre4 2015-12-15 10:25

I actually have an error when i click on start game : can't find the file plant.png

fullmontis 2015-12-15 12:05

I just finished squashing the bugs (both the ending and the image not showing) and uploading the working version. I tested it multiple times and should work fine now.

Thank you guys for the feedback!

Good job on this game. It has a very unique mood to it.

daandruff 2015-12-15 12:33

A nice game with well written story. I would have liked a few more choices throughout the game. (Also it seems to be problems running this on multiple screens)

psychomonster 2015-12-15 12:48

Wow. This is a really nice story. I'm in a sentimental mood so I touched by it. Hope this story has got a true background, cause it sounds like somebody was going through that. +1 for mood!!! Goood Job!

Great story. I like your art style.

dodormeur 2015-12-15 14:17

Really nice game, different from everything else. :)

celisoft 2015-12-15 14:18

Very good story !

nopogo 2015-12-15 14:20

A lovely visual novel with beautiful images. The only thing I could think of improving this is maybe a soundtrack.

belug 2015-12-15 14:27

Great game, I loved it. Best game I played in this Jam for now! Great job.

owt 2015-12-15 14:33

It had the potential to be someting interesting, but in the end it bored me. The graphics are very minimalistic, I thought it's because of the lenght of the story, but... Not. Nice idea thougt :)

triello 2015-12-15 15:04

I love your art! Congratulations.

Thanks for the feedback on Parallax, man. We will work to fix the controls and IA too.

2015-12-15 15:49

Awesome! Loved the minimalistic art style, and the feel that it really happened somehow.
There were some parts where I would like some more choices and branches, but it's comprehensible since there is a strict deadline.

maxamaden 2015-12-15 20:41

The game worked perfectly for me, and I loved it! The multiple endings were fun to replay and discover. The art style was simplistic and effective, and the writing was pretty well-done. Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing your next submission!

You should separate the different platforms' files. I think a few people would be turned away by the fact I have to download files I don't need.

Now to the game :)

Ah, puppy love. A well written and cutely illustrated story. Reminds me of many many stories that I've read in my youth, mostly in manga :P

The choices were esoteric, like how you treated the plant would directly influence how you were in real life. That was weird but I guess you could sell it. But then it affected how other people treated you. That didn't make sense at all.

But still, a nice story. And stories are what makes us human.

lastninja2 2015-12-16 15:21

Really enjoyed it ;)

dianouille 2015-12-16 15:56

Great little story. I only have 2 endings, and it make me feel so sad. Good job !

fakefrogsonly 2015-12-16 17:55

Really really enjoyed this. Loved the art (although wish there was more of it), and I feel some music or sound would have added a lot. Thanks!

dinnerinthedark 2015-12-16 18:23

Nice story!

flickta 2015-12-16 18:46

Great story. Could have more interactivity, but this wasn't obviously the goal.

farelle 2015-12-16 21:27

it's interesting concept that something that seems unrelated to a relationship can affect it so much :)

vicious_br 2015-12-17 00:53

Ow, congratulation for your game! Greate visual design. I love the draws.
I would like to take this opportunity to ask a favor. You already rated my game, but I was not allowed "innovation rating." Please could you assess this item now? Take the opportunity to play with some corrections. Very thanks:http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=36629

Great going, fellow visual novel maker. My visual novel also anchors on the growth aspect of love.

I'd wish you add some music, and there are some typos I've spotted.

linseyray 2015-12-17 19:35

Really love the visual style! It's a shame though that you had only 4 hours for it, but for such a short amount of time--well done!

fluidvolt 2015-12-18 09:22

Touching little story :). I loved the art. The minimal organic style is very fitting and emotionally resonant. This made me feel something! Thanks for sharing~

wizzardmaker 2015-12-18 12:25

Wow, what a great story, I really felt like I am in it!

orangeez 2015-12-18 13:24

I can't run!

rocketship 2015-12-18 19:31

A nice story, a bit sappy but that's the nature of this sort of stories so I'll take it. I don't know what to think about the choices in the game. In one case they're a nice and mysterious way to influence the game, on the other hand kind of frustrating when you have to guess what happens. Would've loved to have some music in it too!

dejvo 2015-12-19 10:40

really nice entry. superb story. great expierience. thank you for this. i needed this

jezzamon 2015-12-19 12:36

While I'm waiting for the game to download: It'd be nice if you could make the downloads separate just to reduce the download size.

fanatrick 2015-12-19 13:29

It was cool, storytelling was good and it kept me interested in the story so I got all 3 endings. The UI was great and the story was ok, I just wish there was more to it.

Nice presentation overall.

anv 2015-12-19 16:00

I really liked how the choices regarding the plant were supposed to reflect main character's way of thinking. Nice story and great use of "growing" theme.

galvesmash 2015-12-19 16:35

Nice story and merging a plant with the story is really a nice touch! It's not my type of game, but the art is good and the game needed some relaxing music.
Nice job man!

jezzamon 2015-12-19 19:51

This game was good, I liked it! I quite liked the simple drawing style, and really good use of the 'growing' theme in particular

I played the one labelled as "postcompo" because I'm assuming that's the one where you fixed the bugs? You are allowed to fix bugs and have it still count, so it's still compo in a way.

rijnswand 2015-12-21 18:50

Nice art style and cool little story.

nirabazgames 2015-12-27 00:58

Nice graphics and good take on the theme!

themadknights 2016-01-03 17:00

Beautiful. Nice visual novel, that fit the theme. I enjoyed reading it.

jupiter_hadley 2016-03-29 00:56

I like the art style. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/S5oK4fsls3Q
