Nice and relaxing experience. Exactly what I needed after 48 hours of coding :laughing:

The music is relaxing :D

I loved the relaxing experience. I think adding some kind of bio feedback would be cool. How relaxed you are makes something happen in the game.

You have a lovely voice, but I found the occasional static and the way the audio was mixed distracting and I found it difficult to engage properly with the exercises. The time count-down was partially offscreen when I played the web version. Thanks for your efforts to help us all relax.

Really relaxing! Think it would be great to meet such an experience in VR. Nice entry!

Thank you for this 💕

Yes, there might be room for improvement (the audio quality and mix mostly), but this was already so different from other games and I feel so good coming out of it!

I must admit that I didn't really partake in the exercises, but the audio was really soothing. I really enjoyed the ambient noises in the audio track. They lend a great feeling of authenticity. On my resolution the camera started with the text half out of view and it was a bit odd that looking up/down manipulated the volume controls. But since the game wasn't really about such things, it didn't matter to much. Very good use of the theme too!

Sorry we're so bad at meditating. :stuck_out_tongue:

I'm always a fan when people get experimental with LD games, and this was no exception. We need more interactive experiences like this to spark some inspiration in people. :) Nice job!

Congratulations on your game, it is aimed at a very specific audience, I recommend creating variations of environments for each type of activity, creating achievements and abstract particle-like animations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mnGEqRKA3U, like this video, a big hug, if you can give your feedback regarding my game I will be grateful.

Interesting idea! quite a departure from the usual LD games but kind of a nice break. I think maybe having a bit more of a background ambient track like nature of ocean waves might be good to help set the mood as well as the music. Good job!

I'm grateful for this change of pace in LD. Thank you for sharing this despite your limitations on time and execution. Keep on jamming!

Interesting approach! Especially for 7h, good game and nice original idea!

francesco 2021-05-04 20:21

Not my cup of tea, but the idea is interesting :)

Very original idea for a game!

It would be beneficial if the activity can be skipped if you would rather do the next activity. I did not want to do the extended exhale exercise for such a long period of time, so I couldn't skip to another activity. The music is lovely, but I do agree with the other comments that the static on the microphone was distracting and not conducive to relaxation.

I will try again and see if I get a different activity and maybe I can give more feedback another time.
