It's not functional

Janku5 Apr 2022, 01:30

Looks like a beggining of a fun project :) I like the controls, and moving further and closer with W and S keys. The obvious things - you can see blue screen behind the painted background and you can go out of the screen and there is not much to do. I really liked the graphics though.

Very beautiful graphics! I would like to know more about the bear :)

GrossGiirl5 Apr 2022, 01:38

This game is lovely, and I love this sort of melancholy it has. I wish that I could play it as intended though, because this doesn't load for me properly. I can also walk the bear into the blue unkown, accidentally making it even more melancholic seeing this little guy all alone surrounded by nothing but blue

Love the art and the bear animation, but can't interact with things when I press E.

Jul._.li5 Apr 2022, 07:12

As it was said, art is beautiful, gameplay brings some questions. For instance, the owl doest't speak to me. Why would that be? I really like owls. This one's ignoring me. I'm not happy about it. I demand to talk to the owl!

Stalemeat5 Apr 2022, 07:30

I really like the art, very nice! This game stumped me, couldn't complete it. Maybe I was playing it wrong but I couldn't interact with the owl. The path that went to the owl was hard to read that it led to another area. Maybe bear tracks will help players figure that out. Nice work.

The art is beautiful and the sounds feel very organic. There are issues but they have already been addressed by others

Kizu5 Apr 2022, 17:53

The art is really cute and pretty, couldn't do anything when I pressed E but it was nice!

Ghatazorg5 Apr 2022, 19:35

Pictures are nice but the game is not really playable, I was able to talk to the owl but what to do after?

SJPixels5 Apr 2022, 20:19

I'm unable to play this which is too bad because the art looks awesome

Elena-S5 Apr 2022, 20:19

It looks promising, but, sadly, I can't actually DO anything

Oleg Bone5 Apr 2022, 20:28

I like the visual style, the animations are good, game needs a little bit of improvement for better gaming experience.

SasquatchBStudios5 Apr 2022, 20:29

Very cute game, I think it could be something really fun with some more time put into it.
I was a bit put off when I was walking around in the blue space and couldn't find anywhere else to go, I think it would be better if you were limited to the playable space.
Your idea fits the theme and the art is good too. Definitely need some work on sound and gameplay though, but it is hard to do in a weekend, so kudos to you for pulling it off!

The game looks amazing, I really liked the style that you went for. Don't stop making games, I'd kill to see the finished project.

colineobordello5 Apr 2022, 20:36

the graphics are nice but it doesn't seem to work

Alex Zahn5 Apr 2022, 23:59

Keep going on this! The graphics and style are very nice. Love the picto-conversational speech bubbles. Needs story / puzzle / interactivity / gameplay next.

iva16 Apr 2022, 03:25

The art is so cute and adorable. Keep up the project

SofiGnedova6 Apr 2022, 22:44

It is very beautiful and clings to the soul by the very sight. It's a pity that there is nothing to play :с

Gandelianna7 Apr 2022, 08:54

Apparently the idea was quite large-scale and there was not enough time to implement it within the jam. If you refine it, it will be a cool game. I can note the hand-drawn graphics that are pleasant to the eye.

And also... I found an owl!)

jk50007 Apr 2022, 10:42

The visuals is okay, but not really any working gameplay.

Shumarieauthor7 Apr 2022, 22:41

Thanks for the feedback! We have all the art, history, dialogues, music and sound (and theoretically working gameplay), but unfortunately there were problems with the technical part.
We plan to put everything together.

Shumarieauthor7 Apr 2022, 22:43

The Owl has a bug. Game counts the appeal to him, but does not show the dialog box.

Ginxel8 Apr 2022, 17:44

I love the background art, it's really atmospheric

Kylazaur9 Apr 2022, 11:46

Uhmmm, is this game broken or am I dumb? I can't seem to figure out what I'm suppose to do here but the graphics are nice so that's better than nothing ay

Shumarieauthor9 Apr 2022, 14:37

At the moment we are collecting material in the build, we will publish it as a post-ludum version.

lolopupka10 Apr 2022, 09:06

WOW! nothing to say, this is a great game! I love the vibe. music graphics and realization is truly amazing. As a beginner, I am very inspired by how people make such games in just a few days

Marvis10 Apr 2022, 13:24

I played fairy tale! :smirk:

Shumarieauthor10 Apr 2022, 16:15

Thank you all very much for the comments! :sparkling_heart: And also for the support. :heartpulse:

Gandelianna10 Apr 2022, 17:20

WOW! I see the whole picture now! It's really cute story! I have updated my scores for your game - raiting is higher than previously

:D

SofiGnedova10 Apr 2022, 20:51

I enjoyed the post jam game!WoW! Good job! :two_hearts:

I played both versions, and it is an adorable story. Well done!

nanolotl12 Apr 2022, 10:00

A ridiculously charming game

Daniel Dewaswala12 Apr 2022, 11:07

@shumarie I do not play a lot of post-jam games but the art really wanted me to try a better version! Definitely wasn't disappointed 😀! But can you please add the some flower art after you plant it?

Lecloow712 Apr 2022, 13:29

Nice

blobo12 Apr 2022, 18:04

I like how when you move "upwards" you get smaller, to show that you're walking into the background "depth-wards". The art is cute, the animations are nice, but (in the original version) there isn't really anything to do. The background is incredibly well drawn, by the way. If the art was made using multiple layers, you could probably add some simple parallax to give an illusion of more depth to the background.

wolfpredator12 Apr 2022, 20:22

@daniel-dewaswala Yep. It will be added)

Andre Sadie15 Apr 2022, 19:37

Awww that was really cute and I really liked the art and music. It was lovely game.

The movement was a little bit finicky at times and the first time I started the conversation with the owl I wasn't close enough and the speach got cut off at the top of the screen.
