A bit hard to get used to space / enter controls. Maybe make jump an up arrow instead of Space. And rotate with space. Apart from that, it's a beautiful and fun game.

This was really awesome! I enjoyed every last bit of it. The controls were done really well, and the graphics are breathtaking. I just couldn't save the forest. :(

Placement of animals breaks the run but the game works overall. I think I cannot get back to the second animal if I miss it. It lacked a little bit of feeling of grip to be honest, felt like hovering more than running. It is probably because of animation. I think it would be also more interesting if there were more interactions other than running around but I know, no time. Don't forget to save the forest!

The art is really well done. I liked it.

Runs pretty smooth, but took a while before I understood what was the point of the game.. Then I noticed that there is time running at the bottom of the screen. :D. All in all, good graphics+smooth running game, but I would modify the game goal to be something other than the time + collecting.. :) ! this could work easily as a good platform game.

BEAUTIFUL

Fabulous, really good graphics, really smooth controls for me - they fit with the theme well, despite what the others said, quite the impressive work for one man.
If I am to be picky indeed I would also say that SPACE/ENTER is a bit of an odd choice since they don't go well together. Any other two close-by buttons would've done better.

Other than that, well done!

Fantastic game! I love the art and the music is great! The gameplay was fun, but the level design made the game a bit too hard. I just couldn't save the forest :(

Thanks a lot for all your comments :) I might add other controls (like S & D or up & ctrl, or whatever) to make it easier as many of you seem to find it cumbersome.

5-star! Love the art and the atmosphere you've build, great game. But just couldn't save the forest, really wanna know the end.

Wow, this is really polished and relaxing! The control is very smooth and the graphics is very beautiful too. Well done!

I liked it a lot, but I found myself caught up in collecting animals instead of paying attention to the time, so I ended up losing.

Had pleasure from cute hares and fox! Thx a lot!

warboys 2015-12-16 14:09

Gorgeous art style, it's wonderful! I liked the jump and turn mechanics quite a lot, despite not being a big platform gamer. I couldn't find Moo in the end, but I collected like 20 animals. It was weird they were blocking the screen but hey, I don't understand the spirit world ;)

The forest will die... I couldn't save the forest, Moo isn't taking responsibility of it, I can't trust him. It was fun to play, graphics are really beautiful and making a mysterius, forest mood.That game is quite hard and the screen is too slow, or the fox is too fast, it isn't coordinate very well. But very nice idea and gameplay!

Absolutely beautiful - and just as unforgiving. XD

I think the game could benefit greatly from some kind of "animal radar" - like an arrow pointing to the nearest one. It would cut down greatly on the annoying trial-and-error aspect. Also maybe a more intuitive, platformer-friendly button combination than space and enter?

nicely done runner, enjoyed the graphics

ybalrid 2015-12-22 21:33

A nice little runner, with good graphics (the animals in the herd are a bit too cartoonish and colourful, in my opinion, but Moo and the background graphics are great) and excellent audio. The plot is kind of cheesy, but the gameplay is very good. I think this game could be a hit with kids.

I'd like it if the rabbits ran after you rather than hovering (the birds hovering makes sense, after all). Also, a bug: some of the animals appear to be invisible.

I can't really figure out how to win (if I try to ran fast, I don't collect enough animals, while if I backtrack, I lose Moo). Still, one of the most enjoyable games this LD in terms of gameplay.
