I kind of like it, even though it's a bit too repetitive for my tastes.
I was a bit surprised by all the stops here and there, though. I'm curious what the idea behind that was.
Nice job, anyway!

As many in the comments have already said, the intro sounds jittery and lively, I really love it :) and everything's like so gentle and shimmering, and although it may be a little repetitive, i personally dont consider it a problem at all as it never lost my interest, i think it will perfectly fit as ambience music in a game setting.
Really beautiful intro, the shimmering saw arps are a beautiful depiction of falling petals and overall there's a nice gentle aesthetic to this music with these high tones. I find the bells to be just a tad too aggressive and it really takes away from the music.
There's also just not a lot happening compositionally, which is fine but the flutes are a bit too piercing to be able to pull off the minimalist 3 note melody without it getting grating.

The light ambience with the warbling in the background sets a whimsical tone for me. I like the imagery of gently falling blossoms as the chimes gently play solo. Your forest sounds very peaceful and almost spiritual. I can imagine this playing in a part of the game where the main character is visiting a shrine or wants to speak with spirits to receive helpful information. I wonder if adding some long tail reverbs to allow the sound to spread out during those moments when all of the instruments pause would add to the magic of this piece? I am a fan of the gentle nature of this piece overall. Great work and thank you for sharing!
I can only agree with Bodos comment. The intro sounds jittery and lively. Put behind a rather sparse arrangement, I think this represents the forest beautifully, as it is always full of life, even when it seems quiet. Nice one :)
Love the intro which really catches my attention, and the melodies interspersed in the music gives it a nice atmosphere. I would love to know more about the thought process and intent behind this music so that I can better understand how you're trying to depict a forest with this music.
