Very well presented, visuals especially. Jumped a little with the shadow appearing lol
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
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 !!
The visuals are incredible, and the storytelling during the flower crown minigame was really creative
I really like the game but it ended so suddenly she was going insane I want a part 2 pls
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
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
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.
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! :)
Such a sad story and a creative way to implement the them! Good job :)
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.
I love the main characters design and the movement animation is very good!
