Even tho the graphics didn't look solid in my opinion, i see the effort. The functionality of the game was nice, it didn't feel boring, the 'main part' of the gameplay - collecting - was simple.
I quickly got what the game wanted from me, which was also a big pro. The part with managing your inventory is also good, the objectives are too.
Good job ^-^
A lovely and chill gameplay loop :)
Very nice and relaxing game ! Makes me want to move somewhere quiet like this
I really liked the cosy experience, points and clicks are the best ! Big up to the audio person
This is a good time! Having multiple days was a pleasant surprise. I liked the hooking mechanic the most on the boat (If you click it while pulling it will redraw a new asset in the hook). Sounds and music were good but the flute got to me by the end of the game lol. Lovely art style and really solid entry! lake.png
I really enjoyed that and played it through to the end. It was nice and relaxing up until I had one item to restore and then it took ages to get the last item. Maybe when there's one item left increase its chances of appearing. Nice graphics and soothing sound. The mini games were fun. Great entry :8ball:
Not enough stars for your game brother. I almost didn't play it but then I downloaded it and I am glad I did. You did just a superior job. I played your wonderful game to the very end and I NEVER do that. Your concept and the way you implemented it was absolutely perfect
Thank you for such a wonderful 30 minutes of game play.
You have proven that fancy graphics and special effects are not necessary to make a game fun!
Really cool and relaxing game. A bit too slow paced for my taste. For the first fishing mechanic it took me a while to understand that I had to click on the white stars, maybe some tutorial texts would have been helpful.
Thank you all for your great comments! This time, I worked alone and it's nice to read that :heart:
@artillepsy I'm happy to read that you liked the game and didn't feel boring. I'm also relieved to see that it's easy to understand how to play. Thank you for your feed back :smile:
@mxandromeda Thank you :smiley:
@lou-tremolieres Hope you enjoyed the experience, don't go too far :yum:
@upint Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, i worked alone so the music is the only part that is not from me sorry. I used my sound library. Anyway thank you! :smile:
@artificer Thank for your feed back and sorry about this little bug i forgot and for the repetitive flute. Hope you enjoyed your experience anyway, i'm glad to see you liked the hooking mechanic on the boat :smiley:
@oddballdave Your advise is 100% accurate! I'm happy to know you reach the end anyway. Thank you :smile:
@beebster-games Wow, what a comment bro! :heart: Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm really happy to see you enjoyed the game and you wanted to reach the end :two_hearts: It's nice to know you had a great time playing Haven's Lake :smile:
@cambryx I hesitated for the tutorial, it would be better to add it in my future games in any case. Thank you for your comment, hope you had a great time on it.
A very relaxing and stylish game! Thanks for the game
I think that this game is one of the most relaxing game ever for a stresful day,never give up from your dreams)
Probably my favorite game of the jam so far. Really enjoyed the constant loop of collecting and selling, especially since it kept changing to different mini-games. My only issue was that the first 2 mini-games kept randomly closing on me every few seconds, but i still found them enjoyable
The mini games have good variation, and mini games by the lake reminds me of some other video games that I love hehe. While the art can use improvement, overall I'd say it's a pretty enjoyable game! Relaxing vibes, thanks for the game :3
Really loved the atmosphere and the mood!
Nice game! Love this hand made drawing and meditation music. And perfectly fit the theme. This mini-game my favorite: Screenshot_6.jpg
duplicate message, idk how to delete it
Played it through the end, and I thought it was a pretty chill "incremental" game but I never figured out what the second and third minigame were actually about (I just spamclicked). It took me ages to "warm up the old-fashioned way".
Love the whole concept :D Great game.
I love how chill the game was. I genuinely wanted to just sit down and play to wind down and relax. Great job!
Thank you @justking144 for your nice comment and your feedback :heart: For you information, the mini-games don't close randomly. You actually have 5 items to collect with 5 tries. I added this to prevent people who don't understand the mini-game from clicking everywhere and getting stuck on the screen. I'm happy to know you enjoyed the game :heart:
Really loved the mini games, except the fishing one which I didn't understand, I was clicking on the bubbles but it didn't feel like I had any control whatsoever.
The concept is really good and I loved the collect-sell-restore loop. The game also gives you a nice purpose to collect and restore these items.
The music got a bit annoying in the end but other than that great work!
impressive intro!
I love the atmosphere and audio design! Really well done.
Cool cozy game, chill vibes and simple but nice gameplay elements. It works well!
Cozy and relaxing game, really enjoyed it a lot. Though for some reason the buttons in the web version are all broken, so I had to always click slightly above them, which was especially annoying for the first mini-game. Fortunately for the next two this wasn't as much of an issue.
Really nice and chill game. I wish I could earn money this simply in real life.
One Wish I would have is that you could start using the next level items as soon as you bought them.
in the first level I bought the rod and the dock before starting to restore. I had hoped I could use them as soon as I buy them but got dissapointed. I thought you did not have time to implement the fishing rod xD. Was happy when I could use them later
Such a relaxing but addicting game! Something about progression and collecting in games like this just scratches my brain. I enjoyed the mechanic of repairing the items you can uncover and the different "minigames" with the tools were fun! Nice work!
Amazing work! It’s super interesting and has a vert unique way to paraphrase the theme, good job! And welcome to give our game a try! :)
