This is a cute game! A different take on the theme, and enjoy the chill music/pacing :)

Nice gameplay with super charming graphics. The flying Cherry Blossom is a nice touch. I also liked the seemless stage transitions. Lovey polished game.

really cool art ! and nice gameplay :)

I'm a sucker for a good puzzle. I think the only problem I encountered is that it's a bit awkward using two keys for some instances of movement, but I totally understand the reasoning. Isometric games are fun like that! Overall good entry, you have a great aesthetic between the music and art.

very cute game, it develops in levels, which adds interest to the game. A very cool project, develop it further!

Amazing puzzle game. The pixel art is gorgeous and the overall design is spot on. I had a lot of fun playing the game.

nerisma 2021-10-05 12:45

Loved it, really nice polish !

This is a really nice puzzle game. The sokoban style block pushing on the isometric raft pieces feels similar to A Monster's Expedition. The pixel art is colorful and cute, and the guitar soundtrack is relaxing. Really great job!

very chill and pretty puzzle game that, in contrast to my usual experience with puzzle games, left me feeling smart and satisfied instead of frustrated. the ending was also very cute... if there's one thing i'd point out it's that i think block pushing games like this reallly benefit from some sort of undo button that doesn't fully restart the level and i found myself wanting one a couple times in this.

I enjoy playing this game, even though i fail misserably when it gets a little harder xD

connor-magson 2021-10-05 14:20

Top notch art, sound design, and gameplay. I really enjoyed playing. The puzzles themselves were nicely challenging :smile:

That is a really nice game, very polished. I enjoyed the chill atmosphere and the pixel art.

As said above, the movements can be a bit awkward with two buttons input to move and a "undo" button would be a nice addition. I found the 8-10 levels harder than 11-15 but maybe that just me being dumb on 8-10 :p

overall, nice puzzle game

Very relaxing experience :-) Minimalistic yet lovely puzzle game, simple mechanics, smooth learning curve, beautiful art and peaceful music

Well done !

Mechanism and level design is impressive. I love the minimalism and well detailed art style.

marchellorobo 2021-10-06 13:44

The concept is really great! Music is relaxing. I love this kind of puzzles. Good job!

runrajrun 2021-10-06 22:58

I really loved the art style and music - a very well polished puzzle game. Great job!

maychant 2021-10-06 23:07

I like the art style and the puzzle design. It's funny how the trees go bald transitioning between levels. Though it'd be nice to have an option to undo. Not sure if there is one but I didn't find it.

sirplop 2021-10-07 07:04

The sound and music is really relaxed and chill, and the puzzles are challenging but not too hard. The art is adorable and the tree-bird-thing surprised and delighted. Solid game.

vetche-studio 2021-10-07 10:02

This is a great puzzle game! Good job! The music is the same melody to this game called "Gubben og Katten i hagen/ Pettson Findus I Trädgården". Have you played this by any chance? Here is a video of the music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0CfgLwVdAA Got all nostalgic! Good job :D

maxds98 2021-10-07 10:28

Very nice game! Sound is pretty calm and relaxing! I really liked the art and move to next level animation :)

anton-florey 2021-10-07 14:47

@vetche-studio We were waiting for someone to notice :smile: For us it is called "Neues von Petterson und Findus"

This melody sticks in my head since childhood.

vetche-studio 2021-10-07 21:49

The game was a big part of my childhood in Norway! Did you play this on your guitar? By ear? I really want to learn it now 😁 Das Lied passt gut zu Ihrem Spiel!

pobix 2021-10-09 14:29

Great game! The art and audio were fantastic, and the levels were clever. However, the movement controls felt very strange, and I could almost never predict where a button would take me. Also, an undo button would have been nice.

chillertyp 2021-10-09 14:36

I really love your pixels! <3 And the backgroung music is well in the background and not annoying. But the controls are pretty unstable. Fits perfect for this unstable jam...

neputevshina 2021-10-09 14:41

a really great puzzle! however i feel that you very far from “unstable” theme. also controls feel strange and unintuitive. making 'w' to move player 'somewhere up' was a bad idea. better simply don't use wasd for this type of game next time. use qwas, maybe. despite this i enjoyed. graphics is great and calm music helps you to unwind solving puzzles.

real-flamingicecubegames 2021-10-09 15:08

Amazing presentation. Looks polished as hell.

noethelazydev 2021-10-09 20:02

Very polished game,the puzzles are really nice and the atmosphere is soothing. The controls can be a bit awkward sometimes.

vivoubos 2021-10-10 18:53

Such a beautiful game! The music was really good with the game. I enjoyed to play it. But.... I was blocked at the 10th level ^^

anton-florey 2021-10-13 13:14

@vetche-studio I created this score partly from memory and played it on my guitar. Feel free to try it out :smile: (the rhythm is slightly off)

Amazing graphics and solid mechanics. The controls were a tiny bit clunky but what else could ya do :P I loved the responsive animations and the transitions (his face in the blossoms was a nice touch). Great end sequence too.
