An incredibly beautiful program, full of vibrant and inviting flora.
Starting off by having the camera pan towards the shrubbery encourages players to explore in that direction, and some may not intuit that their first step is to turn back. The initial rotation of the character is similarly misleading. While an open window can be intriguing, having objectives be a bit more clear is helpful to all.
There were also some issues encountered with camera control. The program does not seem to ensnare the mouse, limiting the range of motion. Luckily, camera sensitivity is high enough that this is merely a nuisance. It also appears that vertical line of sight cannot be controlled, which can make navigation more difficult when ascending pathways. The narrower pathways can even smother the camera with their greenery, regretfully obscuring the character and rest of the scene. A shame, since it is so beautifully crafted.
The music and sound design are simple, yet perfectly fit the cozy environment. With the exception of a dialog font which could have been more stylized, the design elements blend together extremely well. The style is cohesive, the character and animations are delightful, and the environment was pieced together with care. Thank you for bringing your love into this world. Please never stop. 💚
You guys took one of the purest forms of generosity and made a sweet story! The pink ribbons and flowery popups are such charming elements, and I love the soft summery vibe. It suits your game's story perfectly. Solid visual design. For gameplay, the space was a little too cramped to play without getting motion sick for me, especially with the sensitive camera; and putting together the bouquet was a little confusing. But I'd love to play your game if you continue to update it after the jam! Great work!
thanks for playing and we appreciate the feedback! definitely planning to update the game afterwards with better motion/feel/overall polish if you'd be interested!
