Really enjoyed the graphics of this.

@scottgoldsmith Thank you!

This is a really clever idea. Planting seeds in a loop, and by the time you walk around the entire loop the seeds you planted already have already grown. Very creative, and awesome execution with the music and ambiance. It's definitely a relaxing experience :D

Very pleasant and therapeutic. Would be cool if the cube aged as well as the tree, and some more variation in the music at different points would be awesome.

Your game is so beautiful. I really like the soothing piano in the background. Good game to play after a stressful day :)

I love the idea behind this game, and it fits the theme perfectly. It's very innovative but I wouldn't want to play it for very long.

Really like the how to forest grows after each loop and the music is great.

Very relaxing game. Nice art style and great music. Maybe you could add other activities to do besides planting seeds?

A very cathartic experience and lovely piano music which fits it perfectly

The music and the art play well together. They set a very mesmerizing and soothing atmosphere. This game makes me think about how we can change the world even by our everyday repetitive actions.

Loved the music, have you played the piano yourself? Theme was implemented very well. Oozed with atmosphere. While playing I was in a mood for something faster but it captivated for quite a moment. Very meditative.

Thank you everybody! (@ale, @warrrkus, @meemog, @petturtle, @coding4rtist, @yeti-kid, @bereg, @jakob-reborn)

Thank you for all of your kind words!

So the initial idea was to have more things to do, but I realised that I won't have enough time do make it meaningful and decided on this version. It feels more polished and more care was put into it!

All assetst were cerated during the 48 hours. Music included! I have a nice little midi piano and a good sounding piano VST.

Not aging the character adds a different vibe and meaning to the whole experience, it was intentional.

Loved the dawn of the first morning - when the sun came up there was a lush forest in place of a bare loop i walked just minutes before. Very atmospheric, really enjoyed the music. Have my upvote.

A fantastic mood/atmosphere, I really enjoyed walking in my forest once it was grown, especially at night.

Well done!
