I have to say that this was an excellent game. Kind of long, but worth it. The style, mood, and simple story were really awesome. And the theme was, if not overtly, present.

wonderful idea,and amazing amibent... day and night、breath and muse...home-a snug nest with new friend; everywhere let me fancy and every pixel all soliciting idea.
day pass with each passing day
a great game which give peace/revery to me.
love it.♡

I like the artistic conception of the game, it is the similar experience with the iOS game ”Mountain“, but I still prefer the human( I like the aged pixel), the dog ,the tree, life is always a tough.

that is great

seitnerk 2016-04-18 14:11

the minimalistic design is great!

tomvert 2016-04-18 19:40

The little animation details are cool :)

目前已经成老大爷了。像素画面和动画很专业,游戏体验就是左右行走吗?

Very clever little game, themed very well

I come into house and hero starts to switch light on and off! No UBOA yet...

This has a great ambience.

wahooney 2016-04-20 05:55

Interesting, if a bit long. I love the dog :D

zillix 2016-04-20 06:28

very beautiful. loved the simplicity.

rakowu 2016-04-20 11:05

Best ppart is the dog. I like the concepto and the grafic. Also the smart little behaviur of dog and plants are really good. But maybe should be mor interaction. It look like more as a movie. But great idea. Nice

bitdare 2016-04-20 11:08

I didn't play long for I was in a rush but I loved the concept a lot.

hyoga-3d 2016-04-20 13:26

Very nice game, it has a great mood, just to slow for me, but that is just my personal preference.

quantum-cupcake 2016-04-20 15:41

Loved it! Oh and the simple yet incredible artwork! Really enjoyed it!

apantaloni 2016-04-20 17:11

Weird experience. Looks great but it is really slow, so not for everybody. Interesting but I wish there was more to do. I guess I'm not a patient enough guy ;)

bubsypoochies 2016-04-20 18:07

Very interesting and unique game! It's really valuable when someone tries something this different, the experience was really singular. The calm and relaxed mood is nice, as well as the graphics which are really simple yet very consistent! Congratulations on this one!

otixa 2016-04-20 18:48

I liked the simplicity and animations.Great idea, but a bit too slow and lack of interaction distracted from the mood.

wissuk 2016-04-20 19:32

This is something else, I love it so much. My favourite entry so far! :D

antglynn 2016-04-20 19:37

This really is a lovely entry.

hregrin 2016-04-20 19:54

Nice idea, but I am pretty sure the meaning would have transpired just as fine in half the time. Right now, despite the warnings, it still feels a bit like a waiting game. Enough to leave me guess the end while waiting, and that is, in my opinion, detrimental to the experience. Which is sad, because it is well and carefully crafted.

skruffye 2016-04-20 23:52

Lovely game, a bit slow at the beginning though. I know that was intentional, but I was quite close to quitting before the dog showed up. Mood was really pleasant and bitter-sweet.
Good job. :)

brianschung 2016-04-21 00:18

I like your interpretation of the theme! I do wish the tree and house were closer, so everything can be zoomed in larger. It looks very small, and I want to be able to get a great look at this tree that's growing.

joemid 2016-04-21 23:53

Most moving game that I have played in this LD so far. Great job! Holistic!

mar3k 2016-04-22 19:24

Cool idea, but I feel like it might not be the best for LD, because lot of ppl won't wait I feel like, I actually did, but was doing other stuff on my 2nd monitor, which is not the best imo. It is quite atmospheric, but some nice quite music in the background would be really nice addition, also if it was not for the comments I would probably end the game in first few minutes. Anyhow, nice idea, original and the animations are cool as well, but might be relaying on the imagination and patience way too much, maybe some other actions happening in there like having the character from when he/she was young and then ppl leaving the house and graves appearing under the tree, season changing, birds flying by might make it lot better. Good job though.

lereveur 2016-04-24 17:04

It seems more to be a concept realisation than a game, but the animation mechanic is really good. :)

emmelineprufrock 2016-04-25 01:32

Interesting. I like quiet it is, and the details that you choose to focus on.

rock-eaters 2016-05-01 22:59

nice story but a little to slow in the development , i really enjoy you simple graph style

tinyhugger 2016-05-02 10:37

Beautiful.

pinkindian 2016-05-02 10:48

Easily one of my favourites. A great concept and overall execution. Amazing how you managed to tell so sad story told with such minimalistic visuals.

frondeus 2016-05-04 16:08

Holy. Simple but deep. Nice work!

knason 2016-05-06 19:45

really moody and the graphics works real good. Great job! Congrats on your entry

flummox2d 2016-05-09 05:57

Simple, yet really atmospheric. Awesome work! :)

wg_phancock 2016-05-09 08:24

Atmospheric and interesting. I do worry it might be too slow paced for your average LD voter to play through. Some more stuff going on here and there, or more of a hint at a story earlier, would probably help it feel more alive and draw the player in better so they stick around for the full experience.

Nice entry, great tone. A little long but I think that adds to the overall tone.
