ZEN :innocent:
I don't understand why my Chrome gives me a prompt "Your browser does not support WebGL" - even though Chrome most definitely supports it.. Cries t_t wanted to try this one.
I love the graphics of this game. Great job!
Awesome! I love the overall product here; sound, color, and gameplay are all working together to create a unified experience.
For a game like this, I would really like button that saves a JPG to my disk so I can set a wallpaper... or better yet (more "Zen" if we can use that as an adjective) would be to record the whole game experience as a video that one could play back to re-experience the process.
Anyway, really nice work.
I love the setting. It's very relaxing and it makes me feel very zen. It's a breath of fresh air to feel that way about a jam game.
Aesthetically pleasing to look at and the sound effects are really lovely :) I now have this game running on a browser tab on my other monitor so I can enjoy looking at it while I review more Ludum Dare games!
A very cute little game! I shared it with a friend whom I think would really like it.
This game is super relaxing!
This game made me relive that wonderfully peaceful feeling in proteus in the best way possible :)
Very relaxing, love the colors you used. The audio is nice too. Check out our game if you get a chance https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/down-the-rabbit-hole
What a small digital paradise!
really relaxing! i love the flower sounds! nice Entry! :)
Very cute, great color and sound choices. Everything goes perfectly with the zen gardeny vibe you have going on. Well done!
Art is cool, but the whole thing looks more like widget to me, rather than a game. Also I don't really understand how one could control staff in the middle of planet.
cool zen relaxing game :)
Relaxing! "Enjoy the tranquility, Zenyatta."
Man do I love tiny flowers! Does the sun also love tiny flowers and increase the speed at which the tiny flowers grow?
Quite an aesthetically pleasing experience. The mechanics are clear and understandable. Seeing the plants sprout and grow is pleasant, especially at the first seconds of play. The banality of the endeavour is quickly realised, unfortunately. The moment the whole planet is filled with plant life is cathartic.
Oh! So relaxing. Slow revolutions of the Sun, calm growth of the grass, peaceful notes hitting my ears with every flower grown, lovely! I can only nitpick, maybe too much. Why does the Sun pass underneath my flowers? Why does sound of the rain go so quickly from one side to the other when the cloud crosses the middle. And what am I supposed to do after I finish? I ask because I need more! I liked it so much.
A cute, relaxing and easily accessible experience.
|+ Art and sound compliment each other to naturally build a calm environment/atmosphere.
|- Your actions don't really feel impactful at all
I think it might have been nice while keeping with the tone to have a night cycle too, so you could try and rain in certain area's only at night to grow night flowers, then have day flowers elsewhere. That way you could build some natural diversity and have a light but meaningful impact on the end result. Still as a light and relaxing experience this was nice and well polished :)!
I just feel really happy and calm right now. Gorgeous little game. My only criticism is that there aren't enough things to do, but what you do have is great! I would love to see more of this.
The game visually is really nice and I like the zen of just moving the cloud to grow the world. Movement is nice and the colour and visual style of the game I think is perfect. I did have an issue where the sun went underneath my flowers and the rain sound seemed to cut from the left to right ear piece very suddenly. Overall a very good moody little sandbox! I think this would be great on a phone.
Congratulations on completing your first entry for Ludum Dare! The game was really relaxing and good looking and the left/right sound effect was cool but could be improved to make the transition between left and right more smooth. As some others have stated there was not enough things to do, but for a simple game like this that is not too much of an issue.
Perhaps to add some more gameplay value you would have the flowers dry out if they didn't get enough water after a while. Good job though!
A nice, relaxing little simulation. I would have liked if the player had more "tools" at their disposal, perhaps being able to position the sun, rain, different kinds of plant food or soil, resulting in different kinds of plants growing. Also, a way to re-trigger the audio from existing flowers would be cool, so you'd get a little tune from your garden.
Wonderful game, very relaxing and original.
I really like finding these little experience games, something I'm interested in making myself (especially with the audio). The mood is lovely, great job. I liked the rain sound effect a lot, left it running in the background for a while.
Super relaxing with the minimalistic sound design. The soft rain noise and occasional musical strums are very nice! I probably spent a little too much time than I should have trying to grow everything as much as possible!
Very peaceful experience, love the art direction, and I feel so relaxed now. Very nice
Nice art and gameplay but I really don't understand the purpose of the game. What do you really want? I guess it's just for relaxation.
THE ATMOSPHERE. The art is super nice, and the tunes are very relaxing. It was therapeutic to play this, I really liked it. Great job. I would really appreciate it if you played and rated my game too! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/slovenly-shopper
Really cool little toy! I like the flower sounds :)
Bonus points for making a peaceful and zen game that is fun and looks that good
Neat growing game. I liked the little tunes as the plants grow.
This game looks gorgeous! The music is very soothing. I don't know how difficult it is to implement this but it would be better if the biome was more diverse!
Cool art direction. Clearly the goal was to have a solid atmosphere/feel to the game and you hit every category (art, music, UX). Pains the gamer in me that you can't go too crazy with the planet growth but that's expected.
The art and sound is really nice! It's a bit too little of a game for me, but that's just my preference. I need some things to work to, or to work away from ;)

I wouldn't consider it a game, but it has been relaxing to try out! :)
A realxing entry with nice graphics :relaxed: A good mood experience.
Relaxing and simple game, with very polished graphics and music. Really appreciated it.
Very cute and calm experience! It was really good! Nice job! :)
Nice game. It wasn't as relaxing as I wanted it to be because my browser was running at 1fps but I still liked it. Funny how things work.
Nice graphics and mood. I like the color scheme very much and the sounds are fitting, too. But i was a bit disappointed by the lack of interaction. I thought you could do something with the planted flowers, visually, like letting them fly in the wind, for example.
Interesting. I agree with Zorg, I wish there was more to do with this. I expected the sound to turn into more music, it was relaxing and chill though.
Nice little "mood" game.
I wouldn't call it relaxing (for myself), but watching the flowers grow was a peaceful experience. The procedural generation is quite nice, although I would love if your cursor could interact with the plants in some way, or maybe if you could regulate the intensity of the rain, small things like that could possibly made the gameplay more enganging (but of course, I understand if you were aiming for a less interactive aproach).
Its a game really really preaty! Its so zen and relaxing. Love the esthetic ^^
But i dont understand very well what its the finality of the game
Very pretty interactive art! I like how blooming flowers make dynamic sounds, although I think there should be a little more sounds because if you plant enough, it will become quiet for a very long time.
Yes... but is it... art?
Gorgeous tone poem. Made me happy for minutes. 'Til we meet again.
Wow, very NICE game. Congrats, i love it. Free coockie :cookie:
Very cute, fun 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=xNjIIPVrvYI
