The parallax effects were really good, and the music really helped building the mood.
I got stuck for 2 seasons because there were no suns falling on my tree, so I just watched my tree getting obliterated by skulls, so that was'nt much fun.
Next time try not to take complete control away from the player, but give the player a solution to the problem.
Good job!
I was a little bit frustrated when I lost and the level was still running though
The sound and music are great, brilliant job!
I think there a few little things that could really improve polish, like removing the scroll bar on the side or hiding the cursor. There's one bug that can kind of break the game: I got poison at the beginning of winter before I could see what was going on and then couldn't move at all any more. Up until then I was really enjoying the game joy :)
