This game mood looks great and really relaxing, I will give it a try when votes will be open ! Graphics are also very nice ! Crystal sound made me smile, can't wait for the Crash N Sane trilogy remake :laughing:

Incredible!

Amount of polish on this is incredible, if this isn't high up in the graphics category I'll be surprised. I do think you should have made more of the amazing grass growing mechanic.

yami-no-tenshi-8 2017-05-01 09:49

I just played the game, it was a really nice experience thank you. Graphics are beautiful and the music is serving the relaxing mood very well ! No challenge, just a slow paced game of nature harmony, I liked it ! Congratulations !

Awesome art and sound

This game looks fantastic! It's a pretty fun game to play as well. I'm sure this should take out the graphics category without a problem! The animations and sound effects are also very well done!

Hi guys. I loved the mood of this game, and the graphics. It has a Journey vibe, which is awesome. I think it's very impressive what you achieved in 72h. Good luck with the voting!

A very pretty and meditative game, totally see it appear in Steam or on mobile devices in future.

antaresvaldemar 2017-05-01 13:15

Visually this looks gorgeous, the aesthetic and the animation are top-notch and the sound is very nice as well. The gameplay I felt could have been more interesting, but what there is felt very smooth. I wish I could slow down the movement speed as it made me a bit dizzy but that's a very minor complaint. Overall this is very nice work :)

timtipgames 2017-05-01 14:09

I do agree with others that graphics, mood and sound are very well done. It's pretty relaxing to play. I wish there was either something more to explore, or at least a little bit of challenge.

fantastic !

This is so pretty ^^ As everyone said this was very relaxing, the mood was great and I enjoyed getting all those gems, one minor thing, on the last planet it's hard to complete all of it because if you try filling near the gate you exit the game and have to start over (maybe the portals could be high so they can only be reached using the middle button?). I REALLY like the design of the ship it's very elegant, and those particle effects were well done!

I'd really like a longer version with a few more features for mobile just to relax and pass time. Overall very good job :)

dennyrocketdev 2017-05-01 18:06

I love the mood and the flow of the game. Really reminded me of Flower (old PS3 game). The music and sound effects really helped selling the mood. I think it needs a challenge or more things to interact with though.

randomhuman 2017-05-01 19:06

Looks amazing, I would like to try it but no Mac version :(

fancy89 2017-05-02 12:09

How can I stop playing this cool, relaxing, cute, pretty game? How? Well done! I love it!

la-mecanique-du-plastique 2017-05-02 12:19

Great entry !

Your game is amazingly polished and complete. You did a great job on every aspect of it and we can only see the attention you had on details to make it a very pleasant experience. The only regret I had was maybe not to be able to stop for a second and quietly appreciate the art, animations and music. Anyway I think you make us forget this has been made in only three days. Congratulations !

It's rated <3

Really Impressive entry! Great jobs! super relaxing and the arts are very impressive!

venny 2017-05-02 14:02

Absolutely fantastic ambiance and mood, beautiful graphics and very relaxing!

sebasrez 2017-05-02 14:03

Definitely wanted much more of this game! It looked absolutely amazing. There was obviously little gameplay but it really set the mood, and I believe fits a story element for the future. Thanks!

mathijsvissers 2017-05-02 14:06

This looks absolutely amazing, well done. Big contender in the graphics department. Gameplay was nice and smooth, not a lot of gameplay elements, but it fits the chill vibe the game has. Music works well. Would love to see a bit more challenge in one way or another. Excellent job.

tmw 2017-05-02 14:08

I don't want repeat the others :D. A very beautiful game! Good job with it. If you want improve it in the future, add some extra challenges, like timer, meteors or vulcanos.

zorongo 2017-05-02 14:22

Great entry! probably the most polished with great graphics and music. amazing how you did it in 3 days!

alexandr-rum 2017-05-02 15:16

I liked it very much

Wow, Very impressive entry. Wonderful art and ambiance. Great job. If you get a chance check out our game https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/down-the-rabbit-hole

jorbits 2017-05-03 06:35

Wow this game looks awesome. Maybe you could've added some sort of enemies.

ddrkirbyisq 2017-05-03 06:44

Cool game! Though, you might want to double-check your input bindings. I unknowingly had a gamepad plugged in and was confused when nothing on my keyboard seemed to make the game respond -- ended up finishing the game using only the left and right mouse buttons to flip the ship! xD

Went back and saw that you can actually turn the ship around, pull out, etc. and things made much more sense after I realized that I should use my gamepad. :P

Anyways, great job! The game is very cohesive as a whole and everything is really brought together as a unified vision; I appreciate that, particularly the music and sound design as well. Very zen. I would echo the concern about motion sickness. I think that applies more when playing fullscreen. Perhaps just notching down the movement speed a tad and zooming out slightly would help that and be more in line with the "calm" aesthetic? (Or maybe it's just fine as is.)

The glyph-like font was a nice touch too!

iwa 2017-05-03 07:25

@ddrkirbyisq The game detects the gamepad and disable mouse control to prevent inputs conflict. this is the desired behavior but we could have been more clear about it. If you want to try it without gamepad simply unplug it.

I take the opportunity to thanks you all for your reviews. :grin:

2017-05-03 13:35

Beautiful game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation [video series](https://youtu.be/NY55jLVxX30), if you’d like to take a look :)

jojocanard 2017-05-03 17:53

Amazing art on all levels. Its obvious concerning the graphism and the mood. But I really appreciate the work done about the grass generation and the transition between the planets. The ship is very elegant as well.

It is hard to call this a game, but the way you push to fly towards the red hoops to add some objective and create some interactivity is smart and subtle.

adhesion 2017-05-04 01:39

Awesome! Graphics are gorgeous and the music & sound design are really great, one of the most polished games I've seen so far. I think you hit the tone you were going for perfectly. Gameplay was pretty fun; my only criticism is that the movespeed felt a bit rushed compared to the general chill vibes of the rest of the game's presentation. I wonder if moving a bit slower might match the tone better. Would love to see more elaboration of this concept (more exploration would be great!) Awesome work! :D

ddrkirbyisq 2017-05-05 08:00

@iwa: Makes sense, thanks for the explanation!

kwisarts 2017-05-15 22:53

Looks really amazing! It feels incredible and gorgeous. I wish there was a bit of more sounds. Also, too bad the game is so short cause it feels really nice!

rojo 2017-05-18 19:47

Oh man, I loved playing this! Graphics and audio were outstanding and created a great atmosphere. It would have been cool to have some additional interactivity beyond flying...maybe the ability to drop special stuff on a planet (animals or something) to mix things up.

julien-foucher 2017-05-21 11:15

Woaaaaaaaaaaah these ratings !! Thank you all for this 1st place in the graphic category !

2017-07-26 14:41
