It is rainy

I really like the art on this one! Just has a good vibe to it.

I feel like the minigames for collecting the data are just too hard to actually get right. I also thing an ambient rain sound would have gone a long way in terms of mood.

The minigames are pretty darn tough, but I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Unfortunately I got shot on day 2 :( Really really love the little effects with sleeping/turning the lights off, etc, they all go a long way for the atmosphere.

It's a nice zen game, however I think some music and some ambient sounds would really complete the atmosphere, and I think I would enjoy it a lot more with some relaxing audio.

I really liked the mood of the game, really relaxing but ... I was too stupid to really undertsand the instruction, I was fired very quickly !

You know what, this is pretty cool. Loving the graphics. And how even the light switches are interactable

The pixel art graphics work really well! I agree with some of the other commenters that some ambient rain SFX or background music would have added a lot to the overall mood. I enjoyed the little interactions you added, like toggling the lights or going to bed. With more gameplay I could definitely see this working as a cool relaxation game.

Cool pixel art! I really liked it and the idea is fun. Good job!xD

Nice game! The interactibility with the environment is great and helps a lot with the setting. I agree that the minigames are a bit too hard for the mood you are trying to convey, and having to memorize the values to put in (the computer doesn't seem to save them?) makes a chill vibe more frustrating. The graphics are great tho! The day/night-cycle and weather is really nice and helps with the immersion.

This was quite a challenging game. Even after taking a look at the manual and going to play with mini games, it felt like I had no idea what I was doing. Even with the hydrotron, I was spam clicking as fast as I could, and I still couldn't get them close to each other. Maybe I was missing something?

The atmosphere was great and like others have also pointed out, I did enjoy the little interactions you added, like the light switches.

Oh, and PS. Don't have screeching audio at the start. Some of us have headphones! :sweat_smile:

I realy apreciate your theme usage (seriously, i'm actually a meteorologist hahahaha). I think it's a very original theme usage and the pixel-art are wonderful! This game is something to be proud of. Congrats, your work is a great entry and I love it too much S2.

Beautiful game. While our game is mainly about heat we had the feeling we got cooled down with yours. We liked the cozy athmosphere at the meteologists workplace but we always felt the hustle to make things right so we dont lose our job there, so it fits in the unstable topic. Nice one. Thank you for that.

This was really nice and relaxing :D At first I was unsure what I was supposed to be doing, but by just clicking on random things I figured out, which was actually a really nice way to introduce the game and really sets the tone. The graphics were really nice and the day and night cycle was a nice touch! On my monitor the night was extremely dark, so maybe brightening it a little bit would be nice to be able to find the light switch.

I also agree with the others that some rain sound would have fit perfectly. Rain always has this very soothing atmosphere, which would fit this game absolutely perfectly. The minigames were pretty tricky, but I think that was okay. The only thing is that I did not really see the connection to the theme, but that is alright as well.

Great little experience! I enjoyed it :D

It's a relaxing game about as the description says, clicking random button, doing meaningless tasks, and well, maybe if you go broke something will happen. What is it? Well it's up to you guys to find out. Other than that, maybe add some random events based on your success in the forecast, and maybe add a skip day button so instead of you sleeping through it, which takes a lot of time, you could just simply skip the daywhile you're sleeping.On top of that, the cursor's really difficult to see at night, I had to fiddle around to find where my cursor.

Wow, this must be the winner of Mood for me. The pixel art is stunningly beautiful and so well put together. I really, really love how this game looks and its overall mood. The environment feels very responsive and this is an amazing idea over all. Super well made! When it comes to the ideas for improvement - I would welcome some random events happening to make the game even more interesting. And it would be cool to be able to switch between more input fields with Tab. But that's really nitpicking.

I was confused for a bunch of things, but I think I stumbled through it all.

I read the manual and sort of understand the weather gathering tools. I entered the data on the computer and nothing seemed to happen (also no feedback on whether I am right or wrong). I clicked on the bed and now everything is dark and my mouse is basically invisible, but the game seems to still be going. Am I just supposed to wait in the dark? Seems like a long wait.

In the morning I was able to see my mouse and see a light switch, so I guess I can have light at night. But there still didnt seem to be much to do.

For barotron I got around 4 CPS and I guess the two blue bars grew at similar speeds so I entered 750 every time.

After the second day I seemed to receive an email saying that I did as well as I normally do on average. And then it gave me some numbers for what look like either actual values or how close I was, since some of them are negative.

If I go afk for a bit while waiting for night to end, I suppose I might accidentally miss a day and not know whether or not I already reported the weather for the current day.

It's an interesting game idea, I would just like to wait much less time between days so that I can do more weather forecasting.
