Dang this game is so cool, everything is just so well rounded. The voice overs, the music, the subtitles, seriously great stuff.
I'd love to see the concept expanded with more interactions created!
Graphics Quality: Godly. 10/10
Some seriously sweet smooth jazz, I'm diggin it. Loved the voice acting and the whole concept. Only critique was that when I click a button I didn't really know if/where it was adding the object. Clouds were easy to spot but was hard to get that visual feedback on the smaller things. Overall the execution and idea were great! Thanks for sharing!
Crazy, i love it ! Very well executed !But it's really a game or a contemplative experience....i don't know but very good job it's perfect!
What an interesting and impressive experience
The voice actor is trying to seduce me right? Because that's what it feels like lol, Good Game.
Game isn't bad, it's kinda fun (I love this concept with God Ross. It made me smiling so much!). There are few bugs like in new, second canvas coins doesn't do anything, game sometimes shuts down with no reason I think and sometimes there are no voice for dialogue (In making new canvas), but we can call them just happy accidents hah! So fun, great job!
@borys thanks for the feedback, I will look into the bugs you mentioned. It was very late yesterday. But thank you for playing! And thank you everyone else as well!
A Masterpiece, the humor got me before i even booted the game! Graphics: Godly - that made me laugh so hard! Despite being too smooth, i could handle the jazz, the voiceover was amazing and the experience was just hilarious! I ran into a little bug however where when i restarted, the buttons would not work but nothing more really. Also at some points i could very easily see the corners of the skybox but thats just very minor! This is nothing less than a Godly game, your team did a great job!
Haha, what a hilarious game. Its well polished, and although there isnt much gameplay, I could really enjoy God Ross' talk.
Wow, I really enjoyed this game! The music, the looks and the explaination of the game is very well made :-) Can't stop looking at my little earth evolving. It also would be cool if you could speed up time.
Nice
Funny game ! interseting system and animation was cool ! If you need to add something, it should be more sens to the game more goal.
Wow, just wow is all I can say man. Also 5/5 for the pun name First of all, the theme is implied to the dialogue of God Ross but that's just the start. The graphics are executed very very nicely with the particles and everything using the voxel type look. The soundtrack is also very good, very refreshing to hear a nice soundtrack, some submissions this time doesn't have a lot of them. Congrats man!
this was a real JOY to play.
:CoolStoryBob: game )
This is a really cool and fun game to play ! and i like the style of the game
Everything that has some Bob Ross in it is great. Relaxin experience overall, not much to play, but that doesn't matter. Great music, but the voice of God Ross was a bit quiet after a few first sentences. Also it was a bit of a mystery what the other coins did (I accidentally closed the game by pressing one!). Solid jam game!
Hahaha I really enjoyed this. Super interesting take on the theme and everything was just so cohesive. The game randomly quit a few times though :( but apart from that it was really smooth! I was waiting to see if adding too many humans ended up destroying the world but I never reached that part. Again solid game, thank you!
Really nice! Love the experience - amazingly joyful and humorous. Graphics, voice acting, music everything is just on-point! A truly excellent submission!
SUCH a delightful experience! It did quit on me. I don't think i did anything to deserve it but i cant be sure. I love the artstyle and the voice over is a nice touch.
My story in the game was similar to the one by AntzTakeover: I wanted to debunk the age-old myth that humans are bad for the environment. So I only created humans (they're perfect, so why would you need anything else, right, bears aren't perfect). And I was RIGHT, this is the greatest planet ever, if I leave them to their own devices a little more, they'll have skyscrapers by tomorrow.
As you probably guessed, your game managed to do exactly what it set out to do: Present a canvas where players could experience their own stories. The frame story with God Ross worked incredibly well as a tutorial and for setting the mood. Huge props to the voice and art guy, he really made it work! Speaking of mood, same goes for the relaxing music that seemed to time perfectly with the planet's normal rotation. Incredibly good stuff, now if you'll excuse me, I have an anthropocentric empire to return to!
I got Bob Ross vibes while playing this which, honestly, was kind of expected from a game with a title like that! The voice of God Ross was almost as smooth as the smooth jazz playing in teh background, and the visuals also helped me relax. There isn't much to this game in terms of gameplay, sure, but it works really well as an experience!
A fun and chill experience. Really cool! Kind of hard to see the smaller interactions at work, but a nice little experience nonetheless.
I like the concept, though some bits of the execution were a little off to me. The voice sounded a bit strange to me (though that's a stylistic choice), and the camera controls were a bit awkward. Past that, great job!
very well done and excuted little game. The smooth jazz was very chill making it a very relaxing time to play
Sooooooooo chill, I love it. It was very hard to hear the God Ross's beautiful voice though over the music but apart from that. GREAT!!
Played it on stream, had fun :D BOB ROSS LIVES FOREVER!
This was amazing! The voiceover and smooth, smooth jazz were great inclusions. The gameplay was so relaxing and enjoyable too. One of my favourite LD44 games so far!
This is so ZEN.
I love it XD The smooth jazz, the voice acting, and the mood overall haha. The sound effect for the rain was kind of jarring though ;-; And also I couldn't tell what the coin buttons did. The FIRST button I tried pressing other than the ones bob told me to press was the exit application button, and I thought it crashed! XD
I placed some happy little trees! Such a soothing, relaxing experience. The atmosphere was excellent. The visuals were great and the music so, so smooth. Really my only complaint was the rotation of the planet was kinda tricky to get right where you wanted it (I wanted to follow a human to watch it get eaten by a bear). It would have been nice to be able to select an object on the planet and have the camera automatically follow it.
Enjoyed my experience with this! The whole design was nice, refreshing to have a game not focused on high scores or living/dying. Few drawbacks: the sacrificing life as a currency was a bit weak - the stars visualisation was nice but didnt feel anything like life especially. Also, the voxel icons were hard to perceive. However, overall I really enjoyed this. Set the mood well, the music was fab, visuals felt good and well scripted and presented.
I want to be able to make more trees ! desgseg.JPG
This was so soothing! I loved playing it. The graphics are really nice and the sound effects are perfect. Can't wait to see how it grows!
I love it! The only things I could ask are a few rivers and oceans, and some way to more closely monitor my creations.. seems like *maybe* there's a foxes and hares simulation under the hood, but the effects were very subtle.
Love the premise, the audio, and the graphics.
This is a good one! really peaceful i love it !
very relaxing music and funny sound effects. Is fun to just watch the world spin with happy little clouds

I enjoyed this little god simulator. Let me know when the music becomes available for download.
@krapht thank you for playing. You can now find the Soundtrack for Download on the Itch-Page
Came for the jazz music. Stayed for the jazz music, (and relaxed gameplay). Awesome :)
Absolute favourite! Thank you guys for making it :-D
Interesting! It reminded me of Mountain a bit. I didn't really feel like it went with the theme too well, as there weren't really any parameters that limited me in my creation of this world. I enjoyed the music however. Very relaxing. <3
Here's the [link to the stream](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/420903849) as well. Your game should start around [01:40:40].
This game is pretty goofy in a great way. All the parts cohesive in its smooth cheesiness, and once God Ross takes a step back and leaves me to my own devices, it is really fun just seeing how different amounts of things changes how the planet generates. I saw the notes for the Post-LD version, being able to follow around specific creatures sounds like it would be awesome, almost like the Theme Park World series of games.
Also, the recognition for when I opened the game for a second time was the modal icing on this jazzy cake.
Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream!

What a unique game. It's like a virtual terrarium.
I do feel like the narrator was too quiet. I also couldn't tell what the icons at the top-right were supposed to be. Curiously, I clicked them, which deleted my planet and then closed the game.
Kinda theme-light, but cool idea.
