I wanted to create a relaxing moment, 10 seconds at a time.
Breathe in while clicking and holding onto the lily pad. Breathe out after 10 seconds as you let go. Repeat and relax.

This is my first LD. Thank you for the good feedback. This is more of an experience than a game. It's slow-paced, simple and minimalist, but I hope you still gain something from it.
Not really a game, not really good way to use the theme, but I like the relaxation part, if feels as if it could really work. Focusing on breathing and holding the button..
@PaperBlurt 10 seconds, in the context of a video game, is generally thought to be a short amount of time. So I played with the theme by making the 10 seconds feel slow. You must breathe in and hold your breath for the 10 second duration of each petal's descent.
I think I stretched my lungs in ways they haven't been stretched since I played a woodwind instrument. Not really a game, but a pleasant experience. Thanks for putting it together!
Haha, was holding my breath for, like, 30 seconds thinking I was supposed to hold until it told me to stop. Nice relaxing concept for LD. Personally think you coulda done more for a Jam, but I also enjoy these little entries that are small but very well done. :)

really awesome concept. refreshing.
Simple things are powerful
Because of the simple nature of the game, it probably won't score very high, but don't let that discourage you!
