I loved the concept, I loved the art, I loved the story and the mechanics. Amazing game guys, GREAT JOB!!!

As soon as the LD50 theme was announced, I knew that death was going to be a recurring theme along with it.

But this is how to do it. I didn't get as far as I wanted because of how difficult the flower minigame is, but I very much enjoyed what I did see.

Such a beautiful game, and the writing was touching!

Art is wonderfully made and the theme is carefully approached. Even if the core system is very simple, it's very well polished!

Great work! The atmosphere is incredible and both sounds and textual content goes well together. This is a wonderful game in a short time and with further development it could really be a masterpiece.

Visual and audio desgin is amazing. I had problems with progressing game, at start I could not understand what am I suppose to do (I was trying clicking E). I would like to see more described mechanics

Great atmosphere and mood with a beautiful artstyle. A bit too hard minigame some of the times due to the randomness but otherwize a great experience!

Great work!

Beautiful game! I really loved the artstyle, which reminded me a bit of Don't Starve and was what drew me in at first. Together with the slow soundtrack, it set the mood perfectly for your concept of death, will and memories. The stories along the way were very touching.

However, I found the gameplay a little repetitive and couldn't get to the end in my first few playthroughs, since the flower minigame was pretty difficult for me!

Pretty cool game and art! :smile: The movement felt a bit slow when moving vertically but overall a great entry with an excellent idea and execution. Good job! :muscle:

Lovely, melancholy game <3 Beautiful art and music, great cohesive design. Adored my time spent with this.

iguanana 2022-04-05 22:06

Truly amazing. Reading the messages made me feel some STRONG THINGS and I loved every second of it.

phillip-scott 2022-04-05 22:13

***QUE JOGO***

Serio, que jogo ótimo. Muitas vezes foi dificil equilibrar a barra dentro do coração pelos movimentos e precisão, mas vale cada tentativa.

Que história, as mensagens deram um toque sensacional para o jogo.

O jogo que vocês fizeram é de uma sensibilidade incrivel. Estou abismado com a execução e ideia de vocês.

Parabéns gente, vocês tem uma obra de arte aqui, parabéns mesmo <3

***What a game!***

Really, that's an awesome game! So many times it was pretty hard to balance the bar with hearth due to its movements and precision, but every time counted.

What a story, and the flower messages were a fabulous touch for the game.

This game has a incredible sensibility. I'm amused with your execution and idea.

Congratulations team, you have an memorable piece of art here.

Hello! The game is so coooool! I liked the mood. Maybe some little things aren't intuitive enough.

odiovock 2022-04-06 21:27

The visuals are amazing. Combined with the music and sounds it really creates an athmosphere. The gameplay was a little simplistic but I really liked it since it could be challenging at times!

agrimes 2022-04-07 01:41

Artstyle is fantastic! Very relaxing experience.

ossi 2022-04-07 21:53

Absolutely amazing! The style, art, presentation, music and atmosphere were perfect. And as an added bonus, having other people put in their message for the next player is a really sweet way to make you feel like you have had an impact beyond just your own experience. Which from a metaphorical perspective is how I saw the game's message. I loved every minute of it, great job!

Outstandingly beautiful, both in terms of visuals and atmosphere. It did get a little annoying when two bad thoughts appear in the bar, though.

Hey, you guys nailed the mood and atmosphere! The controls were very unreliable to me, so it was a bit frustrating to play, specially with the bad thoughts -- although, isn't that how every game works when your mind is troubled? :thinking:
