The sun is setting, and my world is soo preeetttyyy :)

Wow great job on the mood and graphics, 5/5 for those categories. I'm a fan of low poly stuff. Game fits the theme nicely as well.

Nice creative game, mood is really great. I wasn't sure what effect my clicking in the world had, trees just seem to sprout out of nowhere when I did nothing as well. Sound is cool, because it is experimental

Beautiful experience!! I would have loved that it felt like I was walking rather than floating though. The sound effects are amazing, reminded me Proteus. Great job!

I don't think you game is a game, but it's a good poetic experience ( like Journey i suppose ^^ ) Good experience, i was stayed in front of this forest a long time and was walking in, contemplate the beauty and listen the melodic music :)

Good god. This is beautiful.

Always wanted to have my own Forest.

really nice project.
i think it's interesting how we both went into the same direction.
is there something at the university that made us be into atmospheric music games?
is it some kind of conspiracy? ^^

Not a bad idea, but it seems that something is missing. Maybe there should be more art component.
By the way, it's remind me http://www.visitproteus.com/

Good luck ^_^

Really liked the idea!!! Beautiful concept with the sound, got lost in the forest hearing. Beautiful experiece.

Didn't like that you can get through the land. Anyway, is just a little detail :)

Strange little thing. Cute.

Very pretty game, the art is awsome as well as the music

Beautiful graph and mood, good job !

Cute little piece of art. The more forest grows the more beautiful it becomes.

Interesting little game. Really appeals to me. My only problem was framerate issues, but I understand optimizing isn't something that is easy in a jam.

Best mood! The world that formed was really beautiful. The gravity-less controls make the player feel like a forest spirit or something.

Unfortunately, there was some lag on my decent computer, so I would imagine it would be worse on others. The lag was most evident when you look at the whole forest (day or night) and when the sun was out (so I always look forward to nighttime). There might be a need to do mesh optimizations, but that might not be easy, especially if the tree leaves are being procedurally generated.

Anyhow, beautiful work of art.

@Jishenaz:
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I'm happy that you like it.
About the performance issues: you're absolutely right.
During the jam, we already had to decrease the amount of polygons in the models. Unfortunately we didn't have time to create different LOD models but maybe that's something we will see in a revised version. ;)

Very nice and relaxing experience. Good stuff!

Good mood, but it started lagging quite fast.
