Hey, fantastic work! I’m super impressed by how much art and music you managed to create during the jam — that’s seriously impressive! Everything about the project feels so polished, and I really love the story’s dynamic and overall quality.
I was planning to finish it, but I accidentally closed the tab and lost all my progress 😭 I’ll definitely come back later to try the downloadable version instead.
By the way, I love the music — it’s absolutely beautiful! 🎶
Hi, Mythikiwi and team! I played and voted for your game on stream and I'm posting here for your own feedback and promotion. Would be happy if could rate and comment your thoughts on my game submitted to this jam! Enjoy and thanks for your consideration. - Kyle
This actually might be one of my new favourites??? This was so beautifully made! You really knocked it out of the park with the hard work done here, like the sprite work is INCREDIBLY impressing and the menu music? I'm just absolutely blown away omg
This actually blew me away. I never expected this from such a cute cover, but OMFG. This was incredible and so touching in a weird way? The art was amazing and I had to take a lap around the room multiple times. Amazing work :0
Really great job!! The themes were all on point, and the amount of gruesomeness you were able to pack there is incredibly impressive. I played through 2 endings, and definitely will be trying out the others too. The bittersweet ones I got were really well done -definitely PMMM adjacent, in a great way. And the sheer amount of sprites is wild!! You've built a really great world, and a really great story. Congrats to the whole team!
This is great! I love the artwork and the overall design is phenomenal! Fabulous job!
I loved the visuals and design for this game! The characters were super cute, I spent a long time admiring Rein's design when I first saw her and marveling and the detail and how cute she is omg!
I got all the endings and found myself surprised by the epilogue, but found it kind of amusing in a messed up way too. I wish I got to see more of that too hehe
VERY pretty game! I thought it was so fun to move the mouse in the menu and have the image move with it. Rein has such a cute character design I LOVE her outfit so much omg! Very well put together game, great job! :D
Rein. Cycle of Carnations. I see what you did there.
The art is really cute. C is super cute.
Great game, by the way!
