Very nice and cozy~ The atmosphere of an autumn walk is felt. I like it! <3

Amazing artstyle, really nice touch with the bird sounds, felt really cosy, wish there was more :)

Beautiful little interactive walking-toy. If I weere you, I would consider how to make this more of a game than a toy, because the aesthetics and the mood is absolutely great. The sound was very low in volume, they should be a lot louder. As this is your first steps into solo projects, how fitting it is to make a little interactive toy about walking :smiley:. The artwork is so cute!

awwww what a beautiful experience! I'm in love with the art! Thank you for sharing this walk with me right back at you <3

tori 2020-10-06 19:35

thank you everyone for the kind comment !!

i'm so glad the word "cosy" is used to describe this little game, it really make me happy <3

@frederik-Boye : thank you ! i do agree with you, i'd like to make something bigger, i'm still a baby-game-maker so it's really nice to see people finding an interest even if this tiny toy :) for the sound i have to admit i had to learn everything, on my comp the sound was really loud and i didn't wanted the game to hurt anyone's ears, but i'll definetly take more time to manage the sound in my next projet ^^

@Trexxak : thanks so much, i'm so happy you like it, and that i was able to give you back a little part of me, like you did with your entry ♥

I love this, the art is gorgeous and super relaxing. It reminds of those lofi chill music videos. So much respect for this simple game.

dotsquare 2020-10-07 20:20

Obviously the art is gorgeous, but the sound design is nice too ! :) Congratulations. It’s a very chill and nice experience after playing loud and fast games all evening haha. Is Brother-main you mention a speed runner ? I heard this name when I was watching speed runs x)

tori 2020-10-07 20:44

@SophieMae0 thank you so much ♥♥♥

@DotSquare thanks, this mean the world to me, i never thought i would find myself recording my step in the forest with my phone, but here we are, Gamejam really make us go out of our comfort zone haha so glad it paid off ! As for Brother-Main, He is a speedrunner yeah :) are you french ? :o because i would be surprised (in a good way) if he is known out of france but i'm glad his name ring a bell to you, made my day ! ♥

dotsquare 2020-10-07 20:46

@tori Oui je suis français ;) Je regardais pas mal l’Ultime décathlon c’est de là que je le connais. En tout cas super ton petit jeu; les graphismes sont magnifiques bravo :)

somogy 2020-10-07 20:50

Wonderful graphics!

tori 2020-10-07 21:23

@somogy thanks so much ♥

@DotSquare hey bha, merci encore ! c'est incroyable comme coïncidence, j'était dans l'ud au tout début (au graphisme principalement) et ça me fait toujours très plaisir de rencontrer des gens qui ont suivis le projet ! <3

steambrain 2020-10-07 21:31

Cool graphics and style! Really warm and touching.

Only thing in animation that bugged me is shoulder movement, it seemed a bit exaggerated for a character whose hands are in pockets.

tori 2020-10-07 22:09

@steambrain : thanks so much for your comment! i'm still a begginer in animation so your feedback will help me improve, i'm grateful :)

jollyjoe 2020-10-07 23:01

Awesome art, I love the sfx. reminds me of a book style game, this would be perfect for a learning game! or relaxation alternative. Not all games need action Great Work!!!

pee-thief 2020-10-08 00:01

I love this so much!

aless 2020-10-08 01:12

relaxing stuff, good job!

funemaker 2020-10-08 03:14

It looks really great. I can't hear any sounds though....I think it is something with the laptop I'm on because with some games there is just no sound. Wish i could have heard the sounds.

bredera 2020-10-08 09:11

What a beautiful little experience!

davidpeterworks 2020-10-08 09:22

Very clever idea. I appreciate the idle animation. It is like an interactive child book. This entry is very strong in art. Great job.

tori 2020-10-08 10:32

@jollyjoe :your comment mean a lot to me ! thank you <3 i'd love to do game for learning someday

@pee-thief , @aless , @bredera thank you so much for taking the time to leave such kinds comment ♥

@funemaker : thanks ! i'm sorry for the sound, on my computer it was so loud i got scared it would annoy people, so i may have gone a bit too far with towning it down ^^; still a lot to learn for next time :)

zhanna 2020-10-08 16:27

Wonderful art!

nsadie 2020-10-08 18:49

Really gorgeous art! I would love to live in this world!

celes 2020-10-09 01:56

I almost thought I was gonna be exploring in an endless loop of pretty scenarios, but I finished! I think it would have been nice if there was a little story to go along as we explore. I didn't really feel any "stuck in a loop" theme going on unless the "stuck in the loop" was listening to the birds. Beautiful art and scenarios. Nice side-scrolling gameplay too, but like I said before, I think it would have been nice if there was a little story to go along as we explore. Nice job :)

tori 2020-10-09 19:24

@zhanna thanks so much <3

@nsadie : thanks for your kind comment, it make me so happy ! ♥

@celes : thanks a lot for your feedback ! you're right, i didn't try to go for the theme and it show, i wont try to lie even if the sound could count haha, i do agree with everything you said otherwise, i made the choice to go for something very very simple, as it's my first project alone, had no idea what i was doing, and had to go to work on monday but, it gives me hope for the futur, i'll make better game, and your comment will help me to improve, so thanks a lot ♥

nazorus 2020-10-10 23:36

Beautiful and relaxing game! While it's a bit lacking in terms of gameplay, it's still nice to walk along the bushes and enjoy the sound of birds. I loved the attention to detail like how many different bushes there are, and how the character looks up and daydreams when I stop moving. Good job on this entry, the game is very simple but still impressive for a solo submission, good job!

PS: Only french keyboards use ZQSD, so it would have been nice to be able to move with A and D for most people here, I think :smile:

dcrdro 2020-10-11 07:11

Charming and lovely graphics! I think it would be great to add more interactive ;)

island-jam-2-group-3 2020-10-13 20:42

I loved the relaxing and inmersive atmosphere. Thank you!

Little things I missed:

- A full screen mode would have added even more to the inmersion. - The volume was too low, but enjoyable though ;-) - Just out of curiosity, on a second "run" I went to the left to see if there was any "easter egg" o "bad ending" xDD but the character got stuck and I couldn't get here out. - As someone already pointed out, the theme "stuck in a loop" is barely touched ^^U

Other than that, thank you again for sharing this experience with us ;-)

Very pretty! My only complaint is that some background layers scrolled faster than some foreground ones, which looked rather trippy. Overall, it's super adorable, and very relaxing. Great job all around!

lukas-kunce 2020-10-25 15:42

this is beautiful, I would love to see more of this art style! great ambience, too
