I gotta say, I loved y'alls approach with nature and the idea that you get what you give. It's a beautiful and heartwarming story that I think everyone should play. I also love that color slowly returns to the landscape when you bring the forest creatures back to the middle of the forest (it's a similar thing we did for our game). Overall, I love what this represents. We always need to strive to give back, show kindness to others and keep that positive cycle going.
Mechanics-wise, everything worked as intended, with no bugs being present in the gameplay. Though short, I think it's one of those story experiences that are perfectly fine just being sweet and short. The art strikes a wonderful balance between beautiful and cuteness with the character design and the design of the forest. I think the only things that I feel was off was maybe the widget being far off from the creatures and should be placed closer, but I think that's just a personal thing. Loved the use of dialogue boxes and a choice system.
The Good
- Map-Size
- Astounding art/design
- Short and sweet
- Good message
The Eh (things i wish were in the game)
- I can't really think of much else I'd want in the game. It achieves its purpose quite well. Maybe more creatures? Or like when you press "Follow" or "Hold hand" it does a thing where you can lead them manually back to the middle of the forest.
The Bad
- Virtually nothing
In conclusion, marvelous submission. I can't wait to see what you all do next.
