The core loop was great! But the overall atmosphere was a wee-bit melancholic for me.
Good entry, it was fun to personalize my tree with random flags and bells and stuff. Dropping the apples onto the hedgehogs was pretty simple, but there were a lot of wrinkles, like wind, ice, and physics, that made it more interesting than I expected. I liked the smart hedgehogs
This is one of the most relaxing games that I have played in quite some time. I loved the aesthetics and the music was fenomenal. Well done!
That was so cute and beautiful! Really well made :)
Really fun to play. I liked the upgrades to the tree, that was really clever. Seemed to get real hard with two birds all of a sudden.
Loved when the wind came up all of a sudden. Super super well designed where I immediately intuited what was happening without being told, just with environment design. That's an experience that will stick with me for a long time.
Thanks for taking the time to make this.
Absolutely enchanting graphics and music, such a wonderfully heartwarming little game.
Such a cute game. The art is amazing. You nailed the vibe really well!
Lovely art, sound, music, scope. No instructions needed. I was hooked & played through to the end. Great job!
Nice little game, I was really glad when i could add the bells xD Lovely art, music and gameplay. Well Done!!
Wow, beautiful. Really enjoyed the game, i love the artstyle and the relaxing music. Everything just looks so adorable. And on top of that the gameplay is quite fun as well. With all the little details and stuff you can hang on the tree. The only thing i found a little bit weird is that the bells ring periodically instead of when they're actually shaking (like a bird flying against it), and that the basket always only fills with apples. But those are tiny details in an otherwise great game. Good Job :thumbsup:
Loved the mood on this one, really got me into a contemplative kinda vibe. I appreciated the almost story-book feel to the art, and the game as a whole. Relaxing! Loved it.
I enjoyed playing this game so much. The progress of the difficulty and the challenges were adjusted quite well. The mechanics are streamlined fun. Graphics and the atmosphere are lovely and relaxing.
Beautiful game, and very relaxing :) I also like the sound design. Animations of falling fruits with the little crunch sound were satisfying. Weather effects were really cool too. Great entry, keep up the good work!
Awesome art and great game!
My favorite game of the jam I've played so far, it felt totally complete and well-considered. Art was gorgeous and it's surprising how much juice there is in the core loop for fun, I especially liked being able to change the position of the powerups at will so I could try to optimize my apple/pear dropping machine. My only nitpick is that I wish it was a little easier to telegraph where the wind might be going so it didn't just always wipe out my fruit, but instead just forced me to drop it at different angles. But honestly, that's a small gripe, the game is wonderful. Excellent work!
Art and music and whole vibe was just great, easy to get sucked into. The game kept me guessing with the pacing, too, just when I thought I had it figured out the wind picked up lol. Smarty critter is my guy. Hate the crows, glad I could interact with them to shoo them away. There was once or twice when I clicked an apple and it went sideways as if there was wind blowing but there wasn't any wind graphic/sound, which was a little unsatisfying. Other than that great job, great vibe. Loved it.
I love everything about it. Great aesthetic, ambience, design, graphics, audio, game-feel, polish, progression. Who knew you could make such a great game from such a seemingly straightforward concept?
This is just lovely game! Such a beautiful art style and fitting music. Really relaxing experience. I had a lot of fun trying it out!
The art is unbelievable. The overall mood is just perfect, it's really chill and sweet, easy perfect grade. It's maybe lacking a little bit of feedbacks when clicking on things, stuff like that, but I'm nitpicking at this point.
Gameplay is simple but works well and goes really well with the tone of the game. Very nice !
Art is fantastic. The music and gameplay are nice and relaxing. Except for those pesky birds trying to steal my fruit!
I liked the upgrades, they were creative. Nice work.
Such a nice and pleasant game :)
Finally 5 minutes of rest and relax.
God save the smart hedgehog! This little one saved my apples so many times :D
The only thing that I found a bit frustrating is that a hedgehog can't take more than single apple on its back. And there are situations where it could be profitable to drop more apples down his back
Very very cute game! I liked the creative ways you've came up with to enrich the variety of such a simple mechanic, good job!
I really liked the game, especially how you managed to incorporate all game mechanics in the overall mood. Every time a new mechanic appeared, like the wind or the crows, the way it interacts with the player feels natural, so you really begin to feel part of that world.
I am impressed with how you managed to diversify such a simple concept and make it engaging. The overall cute feel and pastel aesthetics are extremely comfy. Mad props, guys. Very good.
That's probably the cutest and most beautiful game I've played this jam. Excellent work!
Game loop is flawless, gameplay chill and cute, hedgehogs are adorable, especially that smart one.
At first I thought that you need to collect fruit faster that it'll be stolen by birds, but apparently you can furiously click on pesky birds and shoo them away! Bell helps too.
Very relaxing and beautiful game :) I found the hedgehogs very cute 🥰
A very pleasant game, my dear friend! The atmosphere is super, I liked that at the end of the game fruits are flying all over the screen
Thanks for submitting your game on the stream! Here’s the start of your game if you wanted to re-watch initial thoughts youtu.be/qbBq_nBKk5k?t=11328
Beautiful game, congrats on an amazing entry!
I'm not sure why, but this game really filled me with a lot of emotion. Almost felt a happy tear at the end. The beautifully drawn art combined with such a full and touching song (do you have the source?) just completed the mood for me. You deserve #1 in my opinion.
Emotions aside, the gameplay was just so smart and involved. All the details in the mechanics turned something seemingly simple to engaging all the way through. Very well done! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Nicely polished little game! Loved the painterly visuals, music is pleasant and sound-design is satisfying. The gameplay is simple and relaxing. Nothing innovative, but it does it's job and does it well) With a lose condition I think this would work great as an infinite time-killer game.
I liked the hedgehogs, the art is beautiful and the music is calming. It was cool how the weather would change and the hedgehogs would move faster in the warmth and slower in the cold. It took me a couple of rounds to realize that I could choose between two options for the next item, but it was obvious in hindsight. I enjoyed discovering that the pinecone would produce 5 apples--powerful! I wasn't able to figure out what the lanterns do. It was funny how the "smart" hedgehogs would sometimes miss apples that the regular ones would have caught. Overall, I liked my time with the hedgehog tree!
@icysparq Thank you!
A lantern opens more "sockets" for the apples around it, so you'll have more apples growing at the same time.
This game is incredibly cute! The art is gorgeous, I was sucked right in when playing. It's a bit odd to me that the apples collide with other apples, it can make it difficult to get any apples above any others down to the hedgehogs. I liked the smart hedgehogs, but after my first few I basically found myself ignoring my original ones. Maybe if you could upgrade basic ones into smart ones somehow?
