This game is cute and relaxing at the same time <3 :)

The artstyle is amazing! Super stylized and it works really well to generate a nice atmosphere. Just you and your dog on a lonely island/watchtower. Also the final thing (no spoilers here) is super nice visually :)

Obviously there is not a lot of gameplay, except trigger all the events. But it is still a funny and relaxing game with a story which allows a lot of interpretation.

Good job!

Brilliant water effect. Graphics remind me of Metamorphabet and Hyper Light Drifter. Really cool day/night loop that keeps you engaged in the environment. Wish it were longer!

Interesting idea, good animations

This game has alot of potential. I liked where it was going, but lost interest having only one option per turn. Great Job!

I loved everything about this game. The art, the sound, the one action per day. Everything! I was super surprised at the end. Didn't expect that ending.

I would love to see more of this.

Your game is aesthetically pleasing :) Background music and water sound effects are pleasant, so is the light hearted artwork. I wonder if I tried all possible paths to the ending :)

I played the Mac version and didn't see anything apparently buggy.

Nice relaxing experience, poethic. The rocket animation is very nice, so is the graphics in general. The music is perfect. Days go by quickly at the lighthouse :) would have loved more options like: being able not to go asleep and discover what's going on during the night. Or being able to climb the lighthouse during the day as well. I think this is a great starting point you can develop in a full adventure, if you want, but I really enjoyed it as it is.

Really nice graphics and transitions. The game concept is really intresting too.

I loved the ending. Caught me 100% off guard ;)

And where is the crow? Did he fly away? I thought we were friends...

Very relaxing, albeit short. The graphics were really good and the ending sequence was especially nice!

Very relaxing, nice game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSWOUTubUBM

"Ok, time for playing ld games ! Heey, what a beautiful lighthouse ! Mmh mmh, wtf i'm doing? Mmh mmh ... OW SH*T!! "

Relaxing with some goods vibrations. Love the sleep effect with camera, maybe a bit fast the transition.

I don't really like the character, it doesn't feet in very well but it's just to say something wrong ^^

Really good jobs!! :)

Great graphics and effects, unique gameplay and game overall. Was bit short and there ofc wasnt much to play or do badly in here, so maybe it would be cool if there was maybe more decisions and therefore different endings. Good job and thumb up for going a different path!

Very chilled game. The graphics are really gorgeous. The transitions are very smooth and the overall feeling is good. A bit more variety would be cool but for 48 Hours this is already at a very good state.

Cheers :)

Super pleasant game! Really nice graphics and soothing music. Liked the progression and the ending, though the choices didn't feel very meaningful to me. Nice work!

I really like the whole execution of this game. From the super simple idea to the graphics and sounds, the whole mood. I have to say, at the end of the game I was... "What the fuck!!!??" but in the good way. The experience is really positive. I guess you are considering to release this for mobile games, if not, you should, it's good. I don't really have a lot of comments on how to improve it, when I saw you made "options" for the game I was really surprised. Just add more content if you want and release it, great work!

What an enjoyable game! So relaxing a great to watch. I loved this little experience, it was short but that's absolutely not a problem!

Loved that ending too. And congratulations for all the effects, everything feels really polished!

Super entry! =)

What a cool little experience, not only a great idea but also very well executed.

So long and thanks for all the fish!
