The atmosphere is absolutely great and I'm in absolute in love with the visuals and the shaders used. I wish there were music and ambient sfx to accompany the visuals, but ig that's the nature of game jams. Though being just an ending screen, I liked it, it's fitting for the overall game.

This is the most unique looking game I have played so far, and it may be the most i play for the whole jam! Its really awesome looking, and the atmosphere of the game is great.

The gameplay is a bit lackluster and the character controls very oddly, gravity is way too light, and there isn't really collision on anything. But I can tell that wasn't the main focus of the entry. The custom lighting you have with the lines is so cool!

Really awesome work.

Thank you, @satless ! The music is present tho, I think it might be too quiet to hear. Sadly, my first time making sounds, I might have missed on some things

I love the style you chose and its a very cute world you designed. But I felt that the game was a bit empty still. Even then it was quiite difficult to find all the creatures.

The camera is a bit too fast for me,but the 2D art is really pretty!

🌳 Amazing adventure! Unique atmosphere and mesmerizing visuals that are simply breathtaking! 🌈 I am absolutely delighted with the style and shaders, they create a truly magical world. Adding soundtrack would make the game even more exciting. Great game! 👏

@sviborg @satless
Thank you for the comments! And also for mentioning the music bugs!
Could you please tell, how did you play the game? Web build? If so, which browsers did you use?

Maybe the volume was too low tho, I hope it is not some kind of a bug...

Thanks for the feedback!
Tbh camera is also too fast for me, haha, but I am aware that I often prefer slower camera movement, so the speed was based on my friends-playtesters. Surely it's best to add such settings to UI. I hope next time I'll have enough time to implement it

@nicole-a I've been playing games with low volume on, and I forgot to adjust for this one, tried it again now and now I heard it better. Seems it's less of a bug but more a matter of both the game and my PC being on low volume lol

очень прикольная игра, особенно понравилась возможность выкинуть за пределы карты маленьких созданий)))))0)0))
в какой-то момент персонаж начал летать и мне показалось это очень забавным)

This was really neat! I love the presentation, it makes for a very relaxing vibe, though I wish the music was maybe a little louder. The little guys are very cute!
You also fall to the ground very slowly and kinda fly around, but I actually had fun with that too, seeing how high I could go. This was a good time.

Between the shader effects and wild hand draw visuals, this is by far the prettiest game I've seen this jam. It was a magical moment when I got to the top of the hill, picked up the blob, started to walk down, but then started floating over the treetops. The boxy, lined sky is such a cool look.

The sound effects were a lot louder than the music, so I often had to adjust my volume before picking up one of the blobs. But otherwise the music was my kind of jam.

I placed the blue blob and purple blob (from the top of the hill) on the pedestals, but I never quite found the pink blob. Do you have any hints for that one?

Thank you so much!

Basically you should search on the flower field. If you can't, you can bruteforce it, just walk around flowers and sooner or later you'll collide with it :D
Also there is a screenshot with a hint on Itch. Sorry it wasn't shown earlier because of weird settings...

Found it! I thought it'd be over there (since it was one of the three paths going out from the center), but didn't look close enough in the garden. It's an awesome game, thanks for making it!

Cool game, well done for the compo, i like your style, i found it poetic. Thank you ^^

Definitely a buncha bugs when you stray off the broken path, but the art style is quite cute. I like the shadow shader on the little guys too.

Coming from your shader post, I can see how the game mood is uplifted thanks to it!
Very cool atmosphere and I loved the design of your tiny creatures

I liked how simple and cute graphics are, it's "more with less" and...I wish those little pals would've done a small dance or said thank you!! Nevertheless, nice one! :D
