really interesting game, loved the character designs they are great! well done
Thank you!! :D
Very well presented, visuals especially. Jumped a little with the shadow appearing lol
Hehe thank you :)
This was truly amazing.
This game made me sad, and it really managed to achieve something very few games manage - it made me feel something other than I just was playing a game, I felt like a story I felt intrigued by. Feeling this on such a short game, made in a week for a jam is really amazing.
I'm really proud of being part of a jam with such talented gamedevs, and am looking forward to your next projects!
About the game - The art was beautiful, and the guilt-monster thing was dope as hell. I liked how there were custom messages for inspecting things lots of times (proud admirer of the sand castle), and the minigame felt so emotionally engaging for me lol.. Something about them flowers rotting as I tried making the crown, trying to take them out but others did the same, damn, that was brutal XD
As I said earlier, truly amazing XD
Reading this got me emotional thank you for such a sweet comment !! :’) It’s so nice to find a community with such amazing people, thank you so much again <3
I really liked the graphics and how the the story is presented to the gamer. However, I did not really get what the game is about, and the meaning of the ending. Could you explain me by any chance?
Thank you! You could say the game is about grief/survivors guilt. Honey wants to go back in time to when things were “simple” and when she finally feels ready to do so she sees her childhood home in rubbles, it’s supposed to symbolise that you can’t really change anything about the past and you just have to accept the reality in front of you :) I hope that makes sense!! This is more of a prototype of the story, my main goal is to expand more on her story and by then hopefully the storytelling will be a lot clearer !!
Thank you!!
The visuals are incredible, and the storytelling during the flower crown minigame was really creative
Thank you so much!
I really like the game but it ended so suddenly she was going insane I want a part 2 pls
I’m learning unreal to show Honey’s full story so stay tuned (^^ゞ Although it’ll probably take a really long time haha
Did some minor bug fixes, hopefully it shouldn’t softlock the flowercrown minigame anymore :)
I love the art style, good story with some interesting parts, definitely think the hitbox for the player could be improved same with highlighting interactables but besides those it is a very good game
Thank you!! Highlighting interactables is such a good idea, I wish I had thought of that
The art and the use of the theme are really nicely made. It is one of the best game i played so far. U.U
Aww thank you so much!! :D
Beautiful art and story concept, really good animations!
Thank you!! :D
Excellent writing and good use of the theme. I wasn't always sure what I could and should interact with but I understand some people enjoy that in a game.
The artwork really enhanced the game and the characters.
Thank you so much! I wish I could’ve made it more interactable, after the jam’s over I’ll probably add more to it :) Thank you again!
Cool way to use the theme, I also very much like the game graphically and sound-wise. However I did get a bug which made me be stuck in the flower crown minigame, though other than that, nice entry! :)
Thank you so much!! And aw I’m sorry about that :( Can you tell me what happened to get the bug, please? T_T
Sorry about the delayed reply, but from what I remember, the flowers in the minigame had all like withered away after I'd put them on the crown thingie, but then I couldn't do anything anymore nor go out of the minigame, so I was stuck in there
That’s no problem and thank you!! I believe the bug should be fixed now ^^
Alright great, I'll give it another shot then, though from what I played, it was really nice already! :)
Such a sad story and a creative way to implement the them! Good job :)
Thank you so much!!! :D
your animation and artstyle is so good good dude
Thank you!!
holy shit your ART IS CRAZY
This was a good story well told. The MC viewing herself as a clown is a great touch. i love her. i want her to be happy oh my god i NNED her to be happy pleaseeeeeEEEEEE.
i have a rule that i always critique something, so i guess i didnt like the lack of diagonal moving? but like,,, i didnt really care. also the flower crown game was a bit unintuitive, but by that point i was invested enough to keep going.
TYSM Thats so sweet of you!! And I’ll take that into account ^^ Hmm maybe switching to mouse movements didnt help with that.. Thank you so much for your comment :D
I love the main characters design and the movement animation is very good!
I struggled so bad with the animation haha Thank you so much again :)
