I felt warm inside when playing it. Good job :)
Wow! Very thoughtful game, very different and very positive. Will be playing a lot even after the jam..
Thanks 🙏 I will do an update to add more in the game, after the jam!
Nice integration of the theme! It’s a very simple game, yet effective in encouraging positive affirmations.
Yep, thank you!
Chill affirmations, great art and music, especially the title thumbnail!
Thanks!
Oh man, I came to play some more games tonight after work kinda annoyed and tired... but I just went through this and the positive reaffirmations really helped me out of the mental ditch I was just in lol. I like the concept of your art being intrinsically tied to the mentality you make the art in, and the rephrasing system is quite similar to what you would do in a realistic scenario where you have to work through such mental blocks. Had a lot of fun, made me feel better and I found it refreshing, Thank you!
I'm glad I helped you after your work! My design philosophy is to help people with my games, you can't imagine how happy I am to read your message :))) I also thank you very much in return!
its a chill game, I really like the artwork being revealed and the general message. It does feel more interactive art than game but regardless it was really nice.
I appreciate your comment, I find it interesting that you feel it is more like interactive art than a game.
I love the atmosphere of the game and really nice art and story!
The gameplay idea seems good but there is something lacking to make it more fun
Good job!
Thanks! I think it need more feedbacks for the fun part
Could be a cool educational tool!
Thanks, appreciate!
This was really cool. I like the laid back chill vibes of this game. Does the portrait perspective mean this game can be played on mobile? I kinda feel like there could be a bit more to the gameplay, but I really like the simplicity of it too. I'm not really sure what could be added to this. Maybe like, when you rephrase thoughts you have to choose the correct answer or something. Just something to give it a little more depth, but otherwise I do really like this entry. Great work!
Thank you so much! Yes, it can be played on mobile, I just didn't put the apk here because I wasn't sure if people would download it. I agree, it needs more depth/features. I'll save this advice for when I make this prototype into a full game.
This game emanates HG vibes. I wanted to connect with the character "Morgan" the painter and their story more. I wanted more gameplay mechanics. This is really well thought out. It feels like love was poured into it.
I felt a bit sad labeling some critical thoughts as negative because they actually touch on something important: learning to grow, to be considerate of others, and to balance different needs. Faced with the task of sorting those thoughts sometimes felt overwhelming in a way that reminded me I should return to journaling. :D
Thank you for your feedback! I joined the jam late, so unfortunately I couldn’t add more. Self-esteem is an important theme for me, which is why I wanted to include it in the game.
i feel like this can have an impact as an educational game
Thanks! Hopefully I’ll continue it one day. For now, I’m focused on another project, but this game will always stay on my mind.
