This game is breathtakingly beautiful, omg!
It's a nice way of thinking about the theme, too. It's a shame it's so short (unless I missed something?)
It can be hard to figure out what you need to do, but since you have all the time in the world, it's not a problem at all.
Very good work! =D

Hmm... no luck without the web player. Any chance you could upload a WebGL version?

Sorry vrav, not sure why you are having trouble, I tested fine on Firefox, chrome and safari :(
I'll try do a webgl tomorrow if I can / allowed to
Sorry again!
Thankyou for the super kind words greytyphoon. I wish I did more but I got so tired!

No worries Danny, I'm just out on the chromebook which can only play WebGL entries. Yours looked super interesting, so I thought I'd ask. :) I'll try it on another machine later!

Clever idea, nice graphics and concept, relaxing one
Is something supposed to happen when you match the shape? :)
dannyg59

yes Martin, but you may need to match it better :D sorry if it's a little tricky right now, there are 3 shapes in total

Thanks CoderDozer!
Played it in the bath with my waterproof laptop case and damn near DROWNED I was so relaxed.
Or should I say... dröwned.
Top notch.

It's literally so gorgeous! I like the looks of grass skewing by breeze, it feels so comfortable.
Although I'm not sure how to match the shapes correctly, it's a bit pity to me.

Thanks guys
Sorry it's a little bit tricky Husky, I should have prioritised balancing it a bit more.

Great looking entry! The cloud interaction could've been a bit more interesting and the drag less slow perhaps, and I wasn't sure when if and when I was getting the shape more correct (or how accurate I needed to be), so I never matched the first shape. Otherwise, great entry!

Nice concept. Hard to understand what is suppose to happen.

Yep sorry, I didn't want to put too much feedback in as it was supposed to feel relaxed.
You need around 85% of the shapes to be covered to move onto the next shape which with the love heart is actually quite tough by nature of the shape because of the rounded parts.
Sorry if you didn't have as much fun but thankyou!
Interesting take on the theme, though it was a bit of a pain getting the game to accept my shape at times even if it looked right.

Nice moody game, was a bit hard to match the shapes but loved the graphics though :)

Great take on the theme (actually one of my ideas was to very close to that, so, yeah :p) I second the feedback about the heart shape being too complicated to fill. I love the idea of the cut drawing in the 3D world, it works great. Amazing compo work!

2016-04-19 11:07
Thankyou guys! I'm really sorry the heart was hard to fill, I wish I changed that now or changed the order :( silly me but oh well!
Very nice idea ;) it's smooth and beautiful, good game :)

I'm guessing by the title that you're from Sweden? If so; fun to see another Swede here on LD!
Anyways - Great take on the theme! I really like the graphics too; could use some anti aliasing though.
It's also hard to tell that when the game ended. A nice end/ credit screen would be nice :)
Hope you had fun making it =)

Pretty chill game. Could see this being used for relaxation.
There is a lot of love insinde this game. I think it is one of those game for having a break ... after work .. Nice piece of art. I like it very much! I used the Windows version cause my chrome did not want to start the game... I think it is the plugin problem.-...

The heart is difficult, but I didn't mind spending time on it, like it real life.

Drusilla you just blew my mind, gave me some great ideas for the actual production version too, thank you so much!

Whoa! I really like how you interpreted the theme! :) Loved this!!!

I had a quick skim through of some of the code for the first time since I uploaded this and realised that one of the shaders I was using to calculate the screen size made it nigh impossible to hit some of the shapes and actually impossible under certain (high) resolutions.
Uploading a fix for this today, hope it didn't ruin anyones experience too much :(
Thanks for all the love too!

Basically I had
if (shapeCheckCam.red < targets [level]) {
Win();
}
with target pixels left over set around 5000-7000 but of course the higher the resolution this becomes a huge problem and actually impossible.
The fix was this:
float targ = ((Screen.width * Screen.height) / 100 )* targets [level];
if (shapeCheckCam.red < targ) {
Win();
}
Sorry again and thanks for playing x
dannyg59
2016-04-21 10:18
oh and of course the targets are now percentages
This game is beautiful! I wish you added some ambience sounds though - I had my headphones turned all the way up and the sound effect when you complete a shape nearly gave me a heart attack because I didn't expect it :D

haha yeh sorry, I will make abetter version post combo for itch but I didn't have time and sorry about those fudged noises lol
thank you!
Lovely entry. The artstyle is super eye-candy and enhance the mood quite well, as everyone said, and the concept works great and is theme-related in an interesting way.

A really beautiful take on the theme! It's lovely playing games as relaxing as this.

Man, we had the exact same idea for this jam: clouds! Although mine is not very similar to yours in implementation terms, the core idea is pretty similar. So I encourage you to have a look at it. Regarding to yours, I think some more music or ambience audio would be better, but it is a lovely game anyway :) Clouds are so awesome things :D
A short meditative experience. Loved it, just wish there'd be some ambience in the background for the full immersion. Thanks anyway, this was great.
beautiful game. I like the idea =)
