I posted this on the itch.io page, so apologies to the team for double posting, but I figure this needs to be here as well!!
Wow! These mechanics are intuitive and really intriguing. I love how moving up and down changes intensity and so the game becomes all about positioning and such. Made the levels really intriguing!
Also, the music was awesome!
Also also! You can do it Anna! Go getcha girl!! I'll keep raining on your parade until it happens :D
Good job all! Great game!
Very cute game! Was fun to play :D
Oh my gosh i love literally EVERYTHING about this game from the cute and bounciness of the graphic to the silly audio to match with it- even the like gameplay is so simple but so fun!! literally amazing<3
It is just AMAZING !!!!! love it love it love it so much, really cute and good to play
Oh my god, that was adorable! And fun, too! I was *not* expecting it to suddenly become a bullet hell when the scarecrows attacked. So much polish in this little game! Very clever mechanic, lots of little surprises with the very simple NPCs, super cute art, and just a joy to play all the way through. (Dinging you half a star on audio for having a ska-themed level, and then having the music for it *not* be ska. Like, what? Why would you- what's the- how could you- you got my hopes up!! I was so distraught I accidentally rained on poor Rudy!)
This was adorable! Go Anna! Also, was surprised by the mechanical depth, played side by side with my friend for high scores and those carrots absolutely ruined my run :( :(
Made an account just to play this and was not disappointed. Super cute, very fun to play, great mechanics, and I loved that each level introduced a little more of a challenge. Made it fun to play levels multiple times to try and get higher scores. And as someone who usually mutes a game after the first three minutes of play -- I wasn't remotely tempted to mute this one. Music was great, sound effects were perfect, helpful, and unobtrusive. Well done!
Loved the art, it's sooo cute. The mechanic of moving up / down to increase / decrease intensity added challenged and when to use the big splashes added extra challenge, was a very fun game to play, has a great mood and feel, a very chill game.
Love the game so much! The art style is cute, everything about this game is cute and adorable. And it was a creative approach to the theme "deliver" the rain :)
The game is so cuuuuuuuute! I love the art style and the character animation.
Very cute game! Loved the artstyle and the chill vibe. And the music was very well done too. Honestly this has so much polish it almost doesn't feel like a Jam game. The use of the theme was very well put as well. My only very minor nitpick is that sometimes when you get to the far right edge of the screen, you accidentally rain on the people you're not supposed to rain on, maybe it would be nice if you could see what's coming ever so slightly in advance to avoid getting a miss without knowing in advance. But that's just a minor nipick really, congrats to the team on releasing a quality production :D
Also... Clouds and Crows huh?! And with a level reminiscent of last Jam's theme... I refuse to believe you haven't seen my unfinished game of last jam hahahahahahaha - too much a coincidence :joy:
Best game I've played so far! This is so well polished it even has additional things like a credits scene, and plants that can be killed with too much rain. That credits scene is perfect to showcase all of the art you might have not seen if you played well enough. Excellent work! I love the artstyle, the soundtrack, everything is very well put out together. Congratulations!
Okay guys, stop the competition. We've found the jam winner right here! From the exquisite (and quite frankly gorgeous and adorable) art for the entirety of the game! To the really fun and intuitive gameplay. It wasn't too long, wasn't too short, the perfect length and difficulty for a game jam. Seriously, I would be surprised if this entry doesn't win the whole thing. This is truly most excellent! I want to play more of it, I really do! Please make more! <3
This whole game is super cute! I love it!!
10 stars for mood without a doubt! The crows were super annoying at first but without them it would have been too easy. Maybe less on the first level, though.
A really cute and fun game. It's mechanics are simple and easy to learn and the levels are really charming.
also the funny lesbians in the second level make me go : D
Cute game =D
This is super cute and very chill. I only wish there were more levels. Great job.
Adorable!!! All-round awesome! The ska level might have been a missed opportunity to have a ska track... but I won't complain! :D Is that THE jummbus on the team???
Beautiful game and a clever idea! This is the best submission I've seen so far! Excellent work!
The most cozy shmup ever made? Well done! Art, music, gameplay, top marks! :cloud_rain:
Very cute!!
So cute and so fun! It's really a clever design with the high/down system to define how much water you drop but also with the delay/inertia of the rain drop, but the all the interaction and cute visual sell the game to a higher level! It's polish and so cool! Congrats!
Simply adorable! I loved the fluffy atmosphere!
I like how the news ways of challenging the main mechanic made the game stay fresh throughout the whole playthrough.
And I LOVE piano. The music for me was just *chef's kiss*.
Original game mechanic, graphics & sounds are charming, and controls were smooth! Congrats!
This game is cuteness overload oh my god! The plotlines for the levels were all super charming, I loved the LGBT rep! The art and music are so charming. The gameplay is a ton of fun, it's legitimately challenging to score perfectly, and I like that! It would have been cool to see an online leaderboard to compare my score against others. This game is top tier, incredible job!
The vibes are immaculate. What a charming game. Graphics, music, mood, gameplay, everything. Very impressive! Kudos to the team. ☁️🌧️☔️
What a cute game!! I really enjoyed this. Super simple premise, but the brief context note at the beginning of the stage made me really care about what I was doing. Your team clearly knows how to scope for a jam. The balance was good, and everything felt super polished. Really excellent work!
Also... what a massive, quality soundtrack! Fit the game perfectly. The biggest one I've ever done was 6 tracks, so I can only imagine the composer was exhausted by the end of this.
Thanks for such a heartwarming game, and good luck!
Beautiful graphics and the menu was also very nicely designed. wolkig.png
Extremely cute art and I loved the progression of mechanics as time went on. Great job!!!
This is insanely good. I love the art style and especially the depressed looking sprites of the NPCs when you rain on them. Also really cool to hear a soundtrack from damifortune since I know him from Battle of the Bits.
Such a beautiful and cozy feeling game! The credits were awesome as well. I normally try to give any constructive feedback but I am at a loss. Perfectly executed, interesting mechanics, nice soundtrack and gorgeous art. Amazing entry!
This is the best game I've played so far this jam, you guys are amazing
I bow to your raincloud's superiority
This game is incredible - it's adorable! And the music is fantastic!
Was a sweet and cozy game! Everything felt very polished. A hell of a curve ball when I had to start dodging carrots! A simple concept with simple gameplay that is highly elevated by the artwork.
Holy cow this game is amazing!!!! No notes!!!! How the hell did you manage to make a game that was polished AND had really fun, innovative mechanics????
Amazing game....the cute graphic really got me. It's this kind of games that makes LD so much fun.
aaah this was so cute!! incredible art, great music. really nice gameplay, i can definitely see myself coming back to try to perfect each level (I was like 1 away from each one haha). super polished, I have nothing to critique at all. great job!
This was really cute and fun! I like how each level added more and more elements that weren't spoiled in the level select screen - the scarecrows especially were a very pleasant surprise. Super polished game, what a great job!

Amazing, very well done!
This game is so well polished :)
Very good. Very polished. Loved everything <3
hi! you submitted this game on my stream and I played through it :)
here's a link to the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1812705828?t=1h26m32s
of course I love the art and the music is so delightful and soothing!!! you guys never fail to make the most chill cute games. The levels and characters were sooo funny, my personal favorite was the crush :D I see the reference to Greenfingers :)
I really like that completing the levels is easy and chill but full victory seems quite difficult. My only (tiny) nitpick is that there was a sound that the cloud made sometimes that made me think I was failing when I'm pretty sure everything was fine? Regarding the characters, all of them are super endearing and imbued with so much personality! It's very cute to see them all given names and reacting to getting rained on at the end. I'm a sucker for creative credits, and these were superb!!
Everything about this game is absolutely perfect! Your take on the theme, the humor from the prologue to all the levels, gameplay feels so smooth and responsive, the graphics are so cute, music and sfx is matching with the theme, not to mention the game feels very polished! Awesome work, Moonlight Jammers!:smile:
5/5 entry, I have nothing much to add to what other peoples have said, like, this is incredible! The only nitpick I might have is that it feels like some of the objects you should shower and some that you shouldn't are too close to each other, but those instances are very rare, it happens once or twice on a farm. But hey, that's just a nitpick, this is a near perfect jam game. Very glad I got to play this, great job everyone!
The art and music in this really shine and tie the whole experience together. I had a lot of fun with this entry!!
