The interaction is quite fun—I'd love to see more sweeping tools with different sensations.

very interesting!

I like the artwork and the soundtrack is very chill. But to me the leaves behave too much like they are pushed on ice instead of flowing through the air and it kicks me out of the immersion.

love your game! The characters are absolutely adorable, and the music is fantastic!! It fits the theme perfectly!

Cute game, added an autumn vibe, I even wanted to make cinnamon rolls =)

indiealesha 2025-10-07 10:12

Good job!

Just because this game is easy doesn't mean it's not very cool.

Interesting interpretation of the theme and implementation of the mechanics. Like

kazuren 2025-10-07 19:03

Lovely game, I love the art style and the writing and the music fits well.

Cute little entry with a cosy mood and music. The main character has a strong Hilda vibe, I like it. The game could have you used a bit more progression or depth in its mechanics, but it's always tough in just 3 days

Great addictive completed game!.

fan 2025-10-09 17:05

A very heartwarming game

jscommander 2025-10-10 07:19

Hi. I had so much fun playing your game.

The graphics in the game are amazing. I love the hand-drawn art and the style of the characters.

Gameplay is very satisfying and fun. I like that there's no pressure in the game, so I can just blow leaves and get satisfaction from cleaning.

Also I liked the comics at the end of the game.

So, it's a pretty solid entry. Keep making games!

Simple, but very well explained and easy to understand mechanic! I had my fun with this entry

spacecadet 2025-10-10 16:17

Really relaxing and well presented game, made me smile. The art style is really polished and the music sets the mood nicely. The gameplay itself was a bit tedious but for a short game without punishment it didn't matter much in the end. Good job!

Very short, and not much challenge, but it's cute. Adorable artwork!

tunggd 2025-10-10 19:14

A really nice and cozy game that give me old flash game vibes.

dm1tr11 2025-10-10 20:20

It is really fun to sea russian names :D

swynfel 2025-10-10 20:26

Cute little game!

It's a well polished jam game: there's a menu, chill music and sound effects, nice drawings and animations (even a little comic at the end of the game!). It's a little easy and short, but I think it's the best approach for a jam to focus on the experience, which you did!

The movements of the leaves were a little weird (it felt like they had inertia), and the "air" effect could have been made into a style closer to the rest of the game, but that a little nitpicking ;)

Overall solid entry! :)

Very cute, and a pretty unique take on the theme. I enjoyed this game a lot.

I think each bag should have had a capacity slightly larger than "100%" so it wouldn't feel so meticulous (and therefore unrealistic); in real life, one would move the bags around, and there would be no need to blow a single leaf across the entire plot just because the closest bag is "full".

rentem 2025-10-10 20:30

Such a cozy little game—I really enjoyed it! The game mechanics are great.

melissa-mechun 2025-10-10 21:28

I think the art and the elderly characters are cute, it made me want to give them a hug, and the music is very calm. The idea of collecting leaves is very simple, but it was fun. I finished the first map, but some leaves were heavy, and the bag of leaves didn't fill up on the last map. Also, some of the sprites were overlapping others.

jaco-van-hemert 2025-10-10 22:15

Very cute! The graphics, sound, and story felt cohesive and was enjoyable. The gameplay loop is simple, but has a nice zen vibe to it. My leaves tended to group up in tight lines on the edges, which felt like it worked against the feeling I'd want from leaf blowing -- maybe having them collide with each other (or give them bigger colliders if they already do) could help make them feel a bit less compressible, and more pile-y?

Also, I'd have liked to have seen some alternative level obstacles, like a wind that comes every now and again, or kids that run through piles and scatter them, etc. to give some variety.

But anyway, nice job on this!

ludicrousdare 2025-10-10 23:31

the music is lovely, the game is charming, and it is very fun.

tardis2snej 2025-10-10 23:39

So adorable, relaxing and cosy! Great expirience. No stress, just autimn vibe.

I enjoyed the fact that 100% bag means every single leaf. It wasn't that hard to collect them, and you made my inner perfectionist happy.

nomelu 2025-10-11 02:39

Very fun! The art style was really cute and the logo/menu etc were all done very well. Sometimes the leaves would get stuck on the edges of the bricks. I also didnt realize for a while that I needed to go push E on the bags to finish the game. Good job!

threeli 2025-10-11 03:43

Sorry I'm late to playing your project, today was the first day I could get back on the computer, but I'm here now so let's go!

What a relaxing little game. I'm not sure how you managed quite so much polish but it's all very well done. Aside from the odd leave being pulled toward my leaf-blower (which was easy to work around) I didn't experience any bugs. @jaco-van-hemert took just about the only suggestion I was going to throw your way, so I won't rehash. Very calming, great work!

liu-qinying 2025-10-11 03:43

So cute, it makes me feel warm, a game suitable for being born in October

bluedingo 2025-10-11 06:11

neat game. Art is cute, the way the leaves get stuck on the walls is a little annoying, but overall feels very warm

6knowledge 2025-10-11 06:34

Nice graphics, audio and atmosphere all in all. The leaves had a bit of a bad tendency to get stuck in corners, but that has been the case in most other leaf-blowing games. Short and simple, no technical hiccups that I could find. A very fine jam game.

2025-10-11 17:25

A very fun cozy game. The music was great as well! It is a prefect game for fall :)

loveapplegames 2025-10-11 19:36

Cute game, nice graphics and sound. The leaf blowing gameplay is more challenging than leaf blower revolution, however it was not very satisfying. I spent most of my time on leaves that got stuck on walls and even move against the direction of the blower.

zoeek 2025-10-11 22:15

Very chill game. Only complaint is I would have like it to be longer :)

andriybyelikov 2025-10-12 14:17

Cute little game. The only annoyance is how the leaves get stuck against the floor tiles and are hard to push into the bags. You should give the bags some magnet area so that it sucks up the leaves when they are very close. For the leaves getting stuck on the walls maybe you should implement some kind of impulse so that the leaves receive a lot of velocity instantly the moment the blower turns on (apply it exactly only at that frame) and make the leaves bounce off the wall. Good job!

felix-kern 2025-10-13 13:01

I played it because of the thumbnail. Loved it, as a tidy person with OCDs it's perfect^^ Chill music and loved the art style. Good joB!

ciphereo 2025-10-13 15:52

Playing this game makes me feel very enjoyable and relaxed. When I was a child, the thing I loved to do most at my grandma's house was to sweep the fallen leaves. I would also arrange the leaves into different shapes. During the game, I would encounter situations where leaves were stuck on the walls. I hope this can be improved! In conclusion, this is very interesting.

tosmaster 2025-10-19 09:19

It's a really cute game with even more cute artwork and vibes! Really gets me into the autumn mood! Lovely! The end screen was also really cute! Great job, guys!

Regarding the gameplay, I know grandma likes it neat and tidy, but maybe some grace regarding the leaves would improve the game a bit? I had to go back some times to find a lost leaf while the bag sits at ~95%.

On the technical side, if I activate the leafblower and walk upwards I can outrun the air particles lol. Also there is a bit of z-fighting among the leafs, so some sprite sorting might help here :) Just some tips for the future. Great game, keep it going!

quadtree 2025-10-19 18:33

Excellent graphics, and the music really fit. It did take me a little bit to realize that I needed to pick up the full leaf bags to proceed (I guess it's sorta obvious in retrospect).

Хочется покупку апгрейдов, а то как будто я забесплатно помогал бабушке. А так, игруха прям позалипать
