Really nice and calming game, have nothing to criticize about it, just that it's too short. Have potential to be a really good puzzle game.

Awesome game! It looks great and I enjoyed discovering what each of the symbols did to my raindrop as I played through. I really like that the music and the art worked together to create an upbeat setting for the game. If I have one suggestion it would be to see some form of progress so I know how many levels are left... I liked working hard to get each coin but I wasn't sure how valuable each one was because I didn't know if there were 10 or 100 more coming up. Hope you had a great jam! Your game is really well done!
A can't exactly say what I like at this game... It's pretty simple but also pretty solid, happy (visuals and audio) and gives good mood!
Great game. Love the art and simple gameplay
This is really nice.
I liked the art and the music, and I appreciated the happy vibe. There's enough sadness in the world.
I also liked that the game was very forgiving. If I didn't get all the coins, it wasn't all like "you FAILED, do it AGAIN", it just went to the next level, like it was saying, good job. It feels like you just want people to have fun. And it counts your score so people who do want the challenge can have it too. Great decision, especially for LD where the sheer number of games to play can feel overwhelming.
One thing I would say is that I feel the mouse controls weren't a good fit. You can only move in 4 directions, so it would have been nice if it had keyboard controls so I could use my gamepad. Not a big deal at all, though.
Great game, thanks for making it.
Solid submission! Great pixel art, and love the music, good job! :D
Wow. Simple but excellent puzzle mechanics, cute pixelart and a great soundtrack. My first try was pretty *click-anywhere*, but then I realized the mechanics and the second time around was better. I still screwed up a few times, but eventually ended up with 32 coins.
Overall, a feel-good puzzler that I feel is worth continuing after the competition. Nice one!
yeah i like the art and sound ! gameplay is solid .made about 30 coins in the first try. will play it again :)
This game is so cute I don't care that I'm terrible at it.
Very well made game. Polished and pretty. Sound design is good. Good number of levels. Can see it as a game you can expand later on. Only minor thing: expected to be able to use keyboard, but works fine with mouse.
Charming and wonderful work, loved the look and sound, had an enjoyable time in this little world. Agree that some sort of sense of how far I am through the game would be nice and I did enjoy figuring the rules out so take this with a pinch of salt but: a little bit more explanation about the game system might be good for some ppl. Thanks for making such a sweet game!
What a cute little game :) I didn't entirely get the various cloud mechanics at first, but it isn't difficult and it's very chill. I liked the music and sounds, but the sound at the end of the game only came from the left side, which was odd. It's a solid entry that could be turned into a fun puzzle game if worked on further!
What a wonderful game! I loved everything about it!
a game delight. I played it twice because I only understood what happened in the middle of the game. And I guarantee you that I will play again because I want to collect all the coins. One of the best games I've played so far in this game jam.
Congratulations!
Very cute graphics ^-^i didn't really get every mechanic in the game, but I enjoyed it a anyway! :)
Really cute game and the music was really nice! Took me a while to properly understand what each weather pattern did but that might have just been my game jam fried brain :'D
This game is soo cute (both art and music) and the level design is great. able to learn all the mechanism level by level. Good job!
I love the art and music of this game.Good game.
Very cute game - took me a couple levels to realize that the symbols at the top meant things and weren't just there to be cute. But the music is fun, the art is adorable and cohesive, and the gameplay is pretty straightforward and fun. Great work!
Such cute graphics! I included it in my Ludum Dare 49 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/JFLObqK2o9M
Such great game, clever mechanics, puzzling levels, beautiful pixel art and tune. Keep up good work!
Awesome! The game is really well-polished, art style is so cute and the gameplay is fun!
So cute! As other said, clever mechanics :smile:
I really like this game. Really cute graphics, nice music and it was really fun to play. Maybe a little explanation of the meaning of the symbols would be nice. Congrats!
My absolute favorite so far! The graphics, audio, gameplay- I'm in love! I had some trouble figuring out the exact effects of all the weather types and would have loved a little instruction sheet but just to confirm my guesses = u =, the game works perfectly as is!
so adorable. I really like this kind a of quizzes where you have not so much of factors and they all are pretty simple
the only critics I can give you is that I can't disable wind sound, only music, and your beautiful pixel graphics is getting blurry a bit
This is so goooood. A little gem of a concept. A weather forecast is a great metaphor for a string of upcoming conditions you have to take into account while planning your moves. I love how you can plan out the entire level and then execute it, but still feel the “instability” even when everything is pretty determined from the start.
It would be great to be able to use keyboard to choose the direction, this way the player wouldn't have to aim each time. It's not much of a hassle, just reduces the fluidity a bit (maybe there were keyboard bindings, but I didn't find them).
As a crazy experiment encouraged by the theme: what if in some later levels the forecast started to become imperfect? With things like vertical stacks of conditions with probabilities:
**Sunny**-100% **Sunny**-100% **Wind**-70%/**Freezing**-30% **Rain**-20%/**Sunny**-80%
And as the moves progress, the forecast updates and gets more precise, but still uncertain. So you have to plan your strategy for the whole level beforehand, but take the possibilities into account and react to them. I think it would make a pretty fun twist! Especially when mistakes don't kill you — not guessing the weather will not feel unfair in this case, just a bit unfortunate.
Also, I want this game on mobile, please. With more conditions, more levels, more stakes, unlockable skins, world map, everything, the whole full-blown game. Please just make it, ok? Ok, thanks! (jk ofc, but it would be awesome fit for mobile)
@13x666 Wow, thank you for the detailed feedback! I love the idea of adding probability into later puzzles, I'm going to keep that in mind as I work on a post-jam version. I am planning to make the full version a mobile game, and I'll consider all of your suggestions. Thanks, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
This is ADORABLE and so fun to play. I wish it was longer.
Cute, fun, beautiful, challenging… Very good entry! Well done!
Wow, one of my favorite games of this jam. Love the style, the music, the game mechanics. This was awesome.
I love it. Amazing entry!
23 coins, so nice and polished game! Love it.
Heehee I loved this!!!! It's incredibly simple and minimalistic and the mechanics are very creative :) I love the idea of the weather forecast and the different states of the little cloud! The graphics are so cute and the sounds effects are wonderful as well! I really enjoyed playing :D Great work!
This was great! I wish you could restart the individual levels, but I still had a lot of fun here. Is it possible to get all the coins? Also yay for someone using almost the exact same set of tools! Godot and aseprite rock!
Well done!
