Unfortunately at my place the game didn't work (does not turn on)
@skaaaza, working on it, sorry
The character doesn't move(( But the graphics are good)))))
music is really good, sets the vibe just right. Great work!
Cute art! I got the first leaf to fall and the cat to move and painted one of the leaves. I couldn't get the others to fall and wasn't sure if I missed something.
Very beautiful visual part of the game
@logovostudio, can you try reloading the page, or try an Itch.Io build? Also it's a pc only game, maybe it helps :3
@i-cam Thanks, glad to hear!
@skaaaza, we're all done, if you want you can check it out!
Its working on itchio for me!
The game was really fun, very cool graphics, great animations, great job to your team, well done!! :D
Loved the mood! The music and gameplay are very relaxing. The graphics and concept are just lovely! Great work!
Oh this game is such a vibe! Loved every second I spent playing this game. The art, the music, the atmosphere, the relaxing and yet so satisfyingly simple gameplay, those little story beats as you made your way up the tree... just so good. The only thing I would say needs improving is making it clear to the player that you have to go back to the doorway at the start to move to the next branch after clearing the first one, it took me far too long to figure that out and I nearly missed out on most of the otherwise wonderful experience! Really enjoyed that 'snip' sound effect when taking down those orange leaves! Cute character designs and some lovely world-building really make this stand out as something unique and special. Thank you for making this, I had a great time!
LOVE IT !!! nice cute cozy autumn vibes !!!
I love the different game mechanisms you have implemented they are really unique! The art and the music really set the mood. I love the springiness of the branch, how did you implement that ?
- I missed that I had to go back to the beggining once all the leaves were serviced, took me two fall to read that press E at the beginning
Thanks for feedback! All love :heart:
damn! i love it. music and art style is sooo cute. it gave me a fall vibe i wanna cry
Great job building a very imaginative and rich world. Interesting set of mechanics, I enjoyed jumping on the branches to get rid of the dead leaves. The gameplay got a bit repetitive after a while but the richly detailed characters and animals kept me playing through to the end. Very chill and relaxing. Fantastic job on the art, so many detail!
The Art was great, the music great, I was not into the game enough to truly figure out how to finish the level. I painted a leaf and got some to fall. The bouncing on the big branch was fun. I had no idea what to do really though. I love how much you got done though in the short time. Well done.
Cute artstyle and very calm music. Love it <3
high-quality music and the game itself
The positives: - Best art and music of all of the games i have played so far. - I thought that all the small creatures were really well done, gorgeous and had a lot of personality - Very calm and chill. I feel like there is a push in these jams to make something high intensity so its nice sometimes to just relax - I dont think i have ever played a game with quite the same concept before. Especially living in a part of the world where the leaves are changing color, getting to interact with the fall beauty was great
What could use improvement - The bee sprite seemed to have some issues with color compression, some squares seemed to alternate almost blue - on some of your branch transitions (especially 2 - 6) I noticed some issues with the tree trunk graphics having strange lines appear, like there were assets getting slightly displaced - Your parallax layer seemed to have a few issues. A minor visual fix is it felt oddly tied to your vertical movement, which was a bit funny. It also seemed to disappear abruptly on every branch transition - It would have been nice to have some kind of UI element keeping track of how many leaves were left. with some of the more out of the way leaves it was difficult to see the ones I missed - I dont know if its intentional, but if you have a multi monitor setup your camera can zoom out really far as your mouse moves across screens, haha - No exit button
Cool game! Love the art style.
Excellent vibes, simple and sweet. I like that you can get better at the flow, dealing with each kind of leaf quickly if you want to feel quick.
Unique art style, relaxing music, nice simple concept
Extraordinary quality of art and music, these two factors really helps established a nice atmoshphere that suits your gameplay! Super well done!
Very cute and satisfying! I will say it was a little annoying to have to walk back to the trunk every time and the snip noise was a little jarring, but good vibes and fun :)
Beautiful game, I only wish there were controls listed anywhere. Jumping (using SPACE) to knock off the brown leafs worked. Somehow I managed to scare off the cat by clicking randomly but nothing is particularly obvious in the controls. Please list them in your description besides the tasks to do, this game is too beautiful to have people stray away from unintuitive input!
best music and art,also game mood are good!!!! this game match the game jam theme so much,love the game design so much,while the control feeling not so well
Nice art,Nice music.
Just need a button to run~:)
A game all about great vibes and energy - simple yet still interesting gameplay loop. Came for the vibes, stayed for the vibes, nice work :)
Great entry! Such a chill autumn mood. The graphics and audio are top notch.
At first I had some trouble understanding that you actually have to use the mouse to grab and pull the orange leaves. But once I got that, man, the snipping felt so satisfying. Somehow it really feels like you're actually plucking those leaves out of the tree. Also the swaying branches when you jumped on them was a very nice touch. Really makes the world feel interactive and alive. I think it's those small details that turn this from a good entry to a great entry.
Love this! The fall theme is great and the idea of painting leaves, plucking them, and jumping on the branches is sooo clever and cute. It was fun traveling around the tree and seeing all the other characters. Great work!
Cool game! I liked it)
This was a great game! I loved the physics on the branch as you walked along it, and the way it responds to you jumping on it. The art is lovely, and the music and sounds too - really cute! Well done!
I love the vibes and physicality of the whole environment!
Really loved the vibe! The game feels so cute and cozy. The soundtrack is very nice and I also really loved the fact that the cat in the beginning of the game does that cute cat sound before disappearing.
Really nice game, very chill. The physics is really impressive I really liked it!
A fun game!
Such a cute game, i really like the designs and the sounds but i never understood how to cut the orange leaves, tried everything but didnt work for me... I would have loved playing other levels .. Also, the menu is missing one exit button, that would be nice to add it !
It's a very cute game, it's cool that you added yourself as an NPC! ^-^
@mitsukoy you should press the left mouse button and drag the leaf in any direction! thanks for playing
очень милая игра, нам правда понравилось в нее играть) арт и музыка создают хорошую атмосферу, а геймплей приятный и расслабляющий
Very interesting concept!
Wow! This is incredible! - great atmosphere - great concept - great gameplay
The game creates a great autumn mood, makes you look at the fall leaves differently and helps you relax. The gameplay here is very simple, but conceptually it is very interesting! Thank you for these 5 minutes, they are great
The branch would shake more violently near the end. I like the detail.
@mitsukoy The sheet must be pulled with some force for it to come off :)
Had a hard time reading the text at first but I had fun anyway, great job!
красивая и прикольная игра, классный визуал и геймплей
Super relaxing and moody game. Love the art and sound design! Ripping off the leaves weas very satisfying and I really like how the branches wobble when you jump on them :D
A very pleasant controller and atmosphere due to the music
I love this. The owl looked great, the feel of each of the actions was good. The branches jumping and swaying looked and felt good, and the world felt real with the cohesion between the art and music and controls.
Very peaceful autumn atmosphere <3
The branch wiggle is top tier. Tearing off the leaves is so satisfying. Wish there was some sort of indicator for when a branch is "complete" had to go back a couple of times for a stray leaf.
Really enjoyed this experience, thank you for making it! The music is really soothing, and the graphics give great "fall season" vibes.
Just some constructive feedback that I think would've elevated it even further (but this is already criticism on a high level): - I think it would be great to get a bit of feedback when jumping to make leaves fall off, and also when clicking on an animal to make it go away. For example some rustling sound or a little movement on the leaf to tell me I'm doing something right and just have to keep trying, and also when clicking on the owl/cat it could make a little sound when clicking so I know I'm doing something. - There's so many creatures around, like the insects, frog, etc. that could feel a lot more alive if they reacted to me in some way when I pass them. The frog could for example look at me with the eyes, the insects could move out of the way when passing them, etc. This way, the world would feel much more alive and it wouldn't feel so much like "walking through a painting". - I unfortunately pressed space at the very end, when it was just transitioning to some black screen (credits I assume?), but that meant I only saw it for a couple milliseconds. When transitioning to a new screen, it's always good to have some time delay before interactions from the user are captured. This way, I won't mistakenly skip that screen by pressing SPACE because I wanted my character from the previous screen to jump :D
So just to re-iterate, I really enjoyed playing it - great job everyone!
As other said, it's quite a nice game. The only thing I would add is a real tutorial at the beggining, nothing told me that I had to use the mouse to scare the cat so I was stuck. I had to read the comments here to understand.
I agree with @rynti about creatures that seem a little static.
How did you record the music?
Good job!
Great job, art is great. Music. Chill vibes. All around big thumbs up
How cute ! Love the automnal mood and the accorn little guy !
It's nice. Well-rounded in all aspects, can't really say more than that
The music in this game was really nice - made me feel very cozy and warm. The game was very peaceful and I wish there were more variations - I love chore games like this where you're just going around tidying up. Awesome stuff guys, well done !
I really liked the game! It’s nice that every person on your team is sitting on branches!!!
great game! very simple and easy to get into
Very atmospheric. I played until the end. I was going to grab a screenshot but it auto jumped to the menu :/
I'm super interest in the physics of the branches swaying. Did you get an existing physics engine to handle that or is it something you cooked up yourself? Well done in any case.
I love the atmosphere of the game, and it is a charming artstyle. I especially liked how just about everything had some movement to it.
My only critiques are that the camera felt too disconnected from the character to be entirely comfortable, but not enough to for it to feel separately controlled, that the parallax on the background has a couple issues, and that a few leaves at the bottom of the screen were hard to see. For the camera control, I think that either making it more closely follow the player or giving it independent movement in an area around the character would fix it. With the background parallax it looks like it is tied to the player's position not the camera position, and also it moves way to fast when you jump. I think that fixing the camera controls would also make leaves near the bottom of the screen harder to miss. Overall these are small issues in a really charming game!
Шикарный визуал, но к сожалению у меня не работает геймплей... Сама игра очень атмосферная и прям под тот самый спокойный и теплый осенний вайб!
A wonderful little relaxing game, feels like I should have had a cup of tea out while playing it. Love the gameplay, the artstyle and the sound design all really come together to create a great atmosphere. Congrats!
Really cute game, the graphics and music had a really nice calming aesthetic. Great job!
@damien-black Thanks for the comment! We used the Unity engine. And components were used to implement the physics of the branches: Hinge Joint 2D to rotate a branch segment around a certain point (the end of the past segment) and Spring Joint 2D for the elasticity of the branch. The project is available on GitHub, in case you need it, you can see it at the link in the project description
Увидела вашу игру еще в дс в релизе, поиграла, но не оставила отзыв. Круто постарались! Правда, не поняла что делать после того как листья были покрашены и сброшены, но играть было интересно. Под октябрь самое то, очень теплая игра
I absolutely love the premise of this game, as well as the vibes, but I didn't really like the nauseating movement of the camera when jumping on branches! I also couldn't work out controls very well - some tutorial prompts or a detailed description would be good!
the vibes are absolutely perfect, the cozy and sleepy of it is just amazing! the game is great and was fun to play, and special thanks to art and music!
Hey, could you add in the description more details about the controls? Do we have to use arrows + space + mouse? How can we paint the leaves? Feel free to @ me so I can continue to play!
https://youtu.be/Er-9kcNDvRw
Lovely game perfect for this time of year. Love all the characters and dialogue that makes a super cozy game! I enjoyed the game loop but it did start to feel a little repetitive without much obstacles or challenges, just more branches doing the same task. But it was really well done! Love the physics of the branches and all the little pixel art animals. I really like the Leaflings and their little acorn hats. Well done!
Cute gameee:3
@schadocalex , hi!You need to use arrows to move. To paint leaves you need to click on green ones with your mouse, to cut them you need to move orange leaves with the mouse held down, and to drop them you need to jump after dark brown leaves. After clinning the branch, you need to come back to the door in tree and click "E". I hope this would help you!!!!Have a nice game!
@Prussichger, привет огромное спасибо!!!Чтобы продолжить игру нужно ещё и состричь оранжевые листья. Для этого зажми их левой кнопкой мыши и подвинь. Чтобы перейти на новую ветку вернись обратно к входу в дерево! Надеюсь это поможет, хорошей игры <3
Like the concept, matching with theme and graphics, definitely like it.
Very satisfying little game, like the are and the music :) Overall well made and solid!
I loved the vibe this game is giving me. The pixel art and music is really on point. Too bad you have to restart completely when you fall off the tree. Really well done :v:
Absolutely loved the animations and pixilated artwork! Also the music is just perfect for the fall vibe. Well done! 10/10, and fits the ludum theme. Respect from JoBlow!
I wish the game didn't restart when I jump off like an idiot haha, very chill game :) How did you make the branch move like that?
Great cosy style game. Really awesome audio and the general look and feel of the game makes it feel very relaxing to play. All the creatures around the level really help sell the theme and the art is very well done. To give some feedback i think gameplay could be a bit more engaging, i feel like you could have introduced the leaf maintenance tasks 1 by 1, that way I get a sense of changing gameplay and it stops the game from feeling too repetitive. Great entry.
@nuin In real life, falling off a branch while being so small doesn't end well. But we agree, it's a small roughness in our game, we should have made check points. The branches are made in segments, each of which is attached by the Hinge Joint 2D component to the previous one and have elasticity thanks to the Spring Joint 2D component. The game code is on Git Hub, the link is in the description. Thanks for the game and review!
My work is done! The atmosphere is really great, well done!
little fairy vive just got me good pretty fun game
Lovely entry, had a ton of fun playing it. Everything about your game just feels so smooth and satisfying ! Props to the excellent sound design, brilliant pixel-art (one of the best I've seen so far) and witty dialogues from those cute characters you meet along the way. Also loved your take on the theme, obviously. Great job team !
The game is very atmospheric and cute. I like the camera effect. But the animation of the character lags when walking and because of the camera swinging at the end, I felt dizzy
Good job guys
one of the cutest games I've ever seen here, art, animation and music make you smile
Nice. I was wondering which game to play and was certainly expecting something with ants and stuff to hit... and then I've remembered your comment on our game and came.
I was not expecting to chill, and then it happened. Your game is pretty, I would say, comfy too. I liked the music but also the objective: it is something gentle and soft. I wouldn't have thought I would appreciate a game like that years ago, but things have changed and I'm more enclined to play things to feel - in physical term - good. It is a little like a small window from which you can see holydays.
Chill and relaxing game! I really liked the art style and the atmosphere you created. I just wish there was more to do beyond the leaves, as the world feels so welcoming and warm. Overall, great game!
Game is actually satisfying I liked how nice you got into theme, fairy is uncommon idea for tiny creature!

i like this frog!! Gameplay is calming and art is cute
Very charming and relaxing game, with lots of attention to detail. At first I thought some more platforming would be nice but honestly, the game doesn't even need it since it still feels like a complete package as is!
**the music is so good** what a nice chill autumn themed game. :slight_smile:
I enjoyed my climb up this tree, meeting with my coworkers and various creatures. There's so many animated characters on this tree, it gives a feeling like it's a real living space. There were a couple of points where I hung out with inch worms and owls and just kinda took in the atmosphere. :heart:
Not a big cozy game fan but this was enjoyable. Great art and music, I could see where you cut back and where you went for detail. Really great example of a jam game.
The art is beautiful and the concept is very poetic! Thank you for the game
Feels great playing this, especially this season! :fallen_leaf: The game is pretty much straightforward and the dialogs are super cute. Kudos to the artist for drawing the whole owl bird and the rest of the game!
Made a playthrough as well:
https://youtu.be/YmS78xaPghw
It's obviously a 5/5 for mood - the game is also beautiful and sounds beautiful. Maybe there could be some more "gamey" elements - to flesh it out to have more of a game state - but you definitely achieved a nice little time that transported you to another world. Nice game :)
Such a vibe game, it was very peacefull to play, its amazing
A fall themed game? Give me two! It's very cute, pretty and well made. My favorite leaves are the orange ones, I like the sound and feel of tearing them off. This game could easily be expanded with some very simple puzzles, but this is not a jam request. Great job and good luck!
loved the music, soundsd like an elevator music haha easy to understand, pretty sweet and cozy, loved it :)
MEGA SUPER PUPER GAME FOR ALL FAMILY!!!!!! YEAH YEAH YEAH
Nice game,very interesting plot!!!!Nice job!!!!
This is so cute!
Love the designs and the atmosphere! (Seriously, art + music + autumn theme = cozy vibes <3)
Jumping on the the branches and seeing them swaying up and down is soooo satisfying. Meeting the other workers and seeing what they are up to was also great and seriously helped in making it feel like the player character isn't so alone.
Well done!
Probably one of my favourite entries so far! The atmosphere is immaculate, from the music, to the artwork, to the quite creative concept, everything works so well. Other than that, I feel like this is the type of short game that only works in a jam like scenario, since I don't see where one could take the gameplay concept further without changing the core of the game, since it is ultimately so simple, but also effective during the sort runtime. Absolutely no complaints on my part! Maybe some animations were a bit rough, but on the other hand you had the branches with physics that added so much charm :D Honestly, good job!
This one really managed to capture that cozy autumn vibe that we got going on. I really like the physics of the branches when you were on the very tip of them, nice work!
