wow that art!

Great artstyle and pretty neat puzzles too like smoke and vines in addition to relaxing music, good job congrats!

Really cool art style! :)

@mlkvr did you make it to the ladder? :) If you get past the tough middle challenge, there is a reward afterwards :P

Unfortunately i got stuck in the loop but hey that means another reason to play again!

Ahhhh it's so hard to get past the middle section where the pandas are... can we have a hint!!? :s

@Baconeta

Yesss, you may get a hint, you go bump the middle apple first, the panda would go eat, and hibernate in the winter. You then go hop bubbles to get to icicles, and go to fall again, to get the apple on the right :) This time the panda noms on the right apple, so you go back, hop the bubbles, and keep using bubbles. (The next part is to get the left apple somehow). Let me know if you need more help!

@Baconeta,
If you find the panda blocking the way, it's a one way door from right to left, press jump and while you are in air press left, which would probably help.

I made it :D! Thank you (I took a one hour nap break first to refresh myself )
Such a magical ending, thank you! A absolutely gorgeous game, worthy of incredible marks.
I can't fault it at all.

@baconeta Yayyy, thank you so much! Yeah the panda level is pretty tough, we were worried if people would be able to beat it.

@quack-doctor I think I MAYBE could do it, if I spent long enough working it all out. The challenge is just perfect actually, I'm a little impatient though.

gorgeous!

Great job! This is a game i will be playing more of for SURE!

Very nice! It was lagging a bit for me but it didn't affect the game play. Nice puzzles!

Your game was played on my stream ( https://www.twitch.tv/ursagames/videos ) on 10/6. Thank you for sharing your game with us! You can find the timestamp of when your game was played here: https://tinyurl.com/yy4oycvv

Great concept and the art style was really nice!

Graphics are amazing. Some times it's not obvious where the platform are and it's kind of frustrating to restart the loop.
Good work guys

I got a little lost now and then! But the overall gameplay, art/graphics, and music were all great. Fantastic submission :raised_hands:

This was cool but I found it very difficult and had to follow the streamer above to even get past the squirrel :D I might give it another go later and see if I can get to the end

Fanastic art work and some great game mechanics. Loved the atmosphere and it felt like I was in a painting. Particularly impressed with the particle effects.

Wow, well done. very aesthetic. I can't believe that I managed to finish the game, it was brain twisting. loved the way instruments blended into other instruments depending on the season. And that ending was _Breath Taking_

@arad-hamidsamiee Wow congrats, you finished it! It can definitely be tough, thank you for playing!

Really nice puzzle mechanics with the different seasons playing into one another! Had fun playing it on stream! The only issue I had is that sometimes the platforms are a little hard to differentiate from the background and some interactable objects also maybe could benefit from being a little more accentuated. Great game!

Very beautiful game. I liked the attention with the loop and the connection between them. I was trying to climb the tree but I couldn't, am I stupid? Beautiful game congratulations

@mauricioscherer You need to solve a puzzle at the start of the game. Pay attention to any objects that change from season to season!

Also, for anyone who is totally stuck, here is a video walkthrough:
And there is also a video playthrough from ursagames' stream at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/762956252?t=3h15m12s.

@almost Wow amazing! thank you!

Wow that was cool! Challenging puzzles and very neat graphics, musics and overall mood! Impressive entry for a jam, congratulations!

Fun game! The art is great, has a surreal feel to it (especially at the end).

Great stuff! I could not get above the roof level, but I noticed how the music changes with seasons.

@svyatozar
Hi! Thank you so much for playing, a couple of comments above you, almost (one of our devs) posted a walkthrough in case you are stuck, check it out if you want to see the ending :)

@svyatozar
and yess thank you for noticing that (I wonder how long you were stuck to notice that lol), there is sound of rain during spring too!

I beat it! It took a while figuring out how to affect things in seasons, and that I could climb the icicles and vines. Those trees were much higher than I expected, had some interesting puzzles. Nice job!

Really cool puzzles! It took me a while before I figured out that I could climb icicles and vines, but the game really picks up! Really cool idea, and the artwork is incredible! Great work.

Awsome puzzle idea. Awsome art and awsome music. (controls need a bit of polishing)

Great game!

It's a very solid entry. I love the art, both visuals and music. The puzzles were very clever. After ~5 times running through all the seasons wondering what I had to do (which was nice, it let me enjoy the art!), it was very nice to understand that I could actually change the squirrel position to influance the other seasons.

I completed the game without watching the walk-through video, but spent some time on the panda part. I understood that I had to make it go on the right to use its bubbles to access higher platforms, but it somehow felt wrong to go left (so, "back in time") to take advantage of its new position. Also, when going to the left, the position of the panda is actually reset in summer and spring, so that was a little confusing.

Good entry!

Impressive! Gorgeous art - in every aspect. Great ambientation and really interesting puzzles. And everything with a solid ideia inside theme. Well done!

Very great entry! It was really moody and beautiful to watch, It is a very clever answer to the theme. I must admit I had to watch the youtube video as I was stuck in some puzzles but overall very good job!!!

Oh my god I love this art! This is pretty fun too and well executed

this is incredible for a game jam! i love how the music stays in sync between the seasons but different instruments come in to play the melody. the art was beautiful, i love the painterly look, and how it transitions from season to season. i really liked the rain in spring.

the mechanics are great, changing things in one season to move forward in the other. i think there's an inconsistency with the bear's position not updating in every season, but that's minor.

my main criticism is that it was really hard to jump on the bubbles, and climb on the vines / icicles. i ended up getting stuck at the first place where you need to jump on the bubbles. i couldn't figure out what to do after making the second apple drop. i watched a play through, it seems you need to backtrack several seasons, because the path is blocked off, to get back to winter, but that wasn't obvious to me, and i just couldn't get back up on the bubbles again a second time.

the creature at the end was very surprising! the clouds were beautiful too.

i think a bit more tuning with the movement, jumping, and climbing mechanics would have made this entry perfect!

Excellent puzzle game, there were a few sections that were a little difficult, mainly because it took me a while to figure out the mechanics of certain things.
