Really loved this game. Lovely artwork and the slow fill of colours made me really appreciate it.

Think the link to the theme was a bit tenuous but hey!

Would happily play more of this style of game, could be a really good language learning tool.

Developer

Ah,the theme :) . For a full game I would love to move around in the world - it woudl still not eb a major point but  asmall design feature. I'm happy you liked it. The language learning is something I would love look into, and I think a hint system would also be good.

Submitted

The painterly art style is absolutely beautiful, it feels like playing inside a moving painting. The gameplay strikes a great balance between relaxing and engaging. I’d love to see more levels in the future 🙌

This was a really lovely experience! ☺️💗

I had planned for some more animations but my initial setup wasn't forgiving ;) it was a lot of fun coming up with obejcts to see and type.

Submitted

Nice and cozy. Pretty art too. Not sure if this really fits the theme very well though.

Developer

Thank you, that's what I intended.

Well, the theme is not mandatory, but you're right that it's not integrated all that much.

It's fine though, you did a good job. I'd appreciate if you'd check out our game as well.

Submitted

Very fun ! Felt like watercoloring tbh, i liked the chill vibe, hope this gets updated!

Developer

So glad to hear it! I would love to work on this further, thanks!

Submitted

Great concept, I love it!

Developer

I was hoping mashing up word interpreter and coluring toy woudl work, glad ot hear it did!

Submitted

Beautiful graphics and relaxing gameplay. I couldn't find some words, but every time you guess one correctly, it's very satisfying. Great job.

Developer

Yeah, sometimes you have to guess a little. Happy to hear it's still fun!

Submitted

Very nice art!

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Submitted

Wow! The art is so great!!!!

Developer

Thank you very much! Thankfully that is the easy part when you're an artist turned game dev :)

Submitted

cozy and beautiful. Feels like a coloring book!

Developer

I "played" a colouring thing the other day and wanted a little more, so here we are :)

Submitted

Beautiful game, i liked the artwork alot and the setting on a moebius strip is cool. I think i would enjoy it more if it was clearer if i had gotten all the objects, as a completionist player :)

Developer

True, and planned for a full game.

Submitted

Fantastic art style, I loved seeing the scene slowly come to life with color! A simple concept that made for a relaxing few minutes. The nature sounds were really nice as well.

Developer

Glad to hear it. I wish there had been more time for conent, but alas, you gotta sleep sometime :)

Submitted

Visually very appealing, I really like the concept of having to name things for them to appear.

Developer

Thanks. I do love word interpreter games although I sometimes find the small choice of words restrictive - you know "go", "open" and so on. I was looking for  a way to get the same fun with less restriction.

Submitted

Great game, testing my English:]!

Developer

I think this might be a thing for language learning - after all, I was inspired by those books where you see everyday things along with their words.

Submitted

I think I got them all ! very lovely :]

Developer

Are you sure? Anything blue?

Submitted

oo… maybe just everything that I could see…

Submitted

Really relaxing and chill game. Nice work

Developer

Thank you. It's great to hear my intentions came through.

Submitted

I love the music and overall sfx, the gameplay is very cozy, its a great game, but I dont thinks it fits the theme really well. Its really cool nonetheless.

Developer(+1)

I agree the Loop theme isn't strong here. I'm glad to hear you liked the audio, I consider it my weak point, and happy to hear the effort paid off!

Submitted

A very chill game to play (although admittedly got slightly frustrated  with the floor/grass). It was fun to think of what words could help me colour the image!

And the artwork on the game is just *chefs kiss*

Developer

Yeah, there were some decisions to make about which words do what.  Glad you liked it!

Submitted

Really chill game! Loved to try to paint everything and the art and colour are great!

Developer

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Submitted

(I'll repeat my comment here - sorry for the noise!)

Very chilling! I love the music and the sense of zen. I somehow didn't manage to get the name for the trees, little forest, grove, thicket, copse, garden, jungle on the right side - only thing I missed I think!

Developer (1 edit)

:D Sorry for that, the trees were very a little challenging. Try including the fruit! And so you think you found it all, huh? Did you get a visit by a box?

Submitted

very nice art!

Developer

Thank you! I made it m'self. I would have love to do more, but the jam IS very short. I hope I will find time to get back to it and add more!
