Creative Vision / Rationale / How Did You Incorporate the Theme
We approached the theme in a poetic and metaphorical way, primarily through the environment. The island itself embodies the core of our message: its shape represents two hands mirroring the posture of the theme. In the final moment, as the camera pulls back, this composition is revealed to create a powerful and grand visual impact.
The lower hand symbolizes the earth, while the upper hand represents the sky, thus evoking the transition between life and death.

Impressive effort. The ending is cool.
Amazing level of polish! 💖 It was especially inspired to have the dandelion act as a means of infinite flight while also capturing the right vibes with the pretty floating white particles~ It made me to keep on wandering around to the point where it wasn't too bothersome to search for 55 of the seeds!
I love how you captured the feeling of reaching toward the other hand, unlocking little guys along the way, and the connection we have with natures cycle. A seamless polished game with a cool dandelion float mechanic, great job!
Well made game, the music, the sfx, the control, the animation, everything are perfect.
Art and music pretty good. Controls feels polished and nice! Great job!
Such a lovely experience — I ended up playing for like 30 minutes without even noticing.
The colors, animations, and music make it super relaxing to play.
I especially loved the moment when, thanks to the level design and camera framing, I realized at the very top that the central pillar was actually the jam theme. That reveal felt great.
The slow fall and the upgradeable upward movement make exploration feel really smooth.
It’s honestly wild how polished this feels for something made in such a short time. Amazing job!
I'm glad to know that you loved the game so much :D , I'm glad that the surprise at the end worked for you
The more I played the more intuitive the controls became. Beautiful artwork, no bugs, fun to play, I loved the ending. Just excellent work guys.
Great Game ! I love the concept and the gameplay
Great entry, I was a bit confused at first, I thought I needed to use the wind to moveand then saw the tutorial for the dandelion. The art team did crazy work on this, it's gorgeous. I would've liked to see how many collectibles I got, was there a way to see it?
Thank you for your feedback ♥ We are glad to hear you're enjoying the game. Your collectible progress is displayed on the sign located near the small house. ;)
This looks very good, visuals are pleasant to look at, and I do like the mechanic of Dandelion, the mouse sensitivity could be adjusted or have a configuration for it, Luckily I could do I myself with the mouse I have, but it was very high
very well done!
This is really good and impressive, I love the art, the music and sound design are so good, congrats on the game I love it !
THIS GAME IS SOOOOO GOOOOOOD!!!!! Definitely one of my favorite entries. Genuinely my only suggestion would be lowering the mouse sensitivity a bit or making it configurable. I'm in awe of how polished this game is. The environment art and layout is magnificent; it reminds me of games like Slime Rancher 2 with just how cute and colorful it is. The character designs and animations are adorable and the dandelion mechanic is just SUCH a joy to play with. Every single action has a fitting sound effect attached, and the music (which is very good) perfectly matches the style of the game. I also LOVED how the music got more and more layers added on over time as the player progresses through the game. The UI fits right in as well and is equally adorable and animated. Additions like the wind lines, particle trail, and differing SFX for walking on land/water are the cherry on top of an already very good entry. I encountered no bugs at all in the windows version. Super great work everyone, and I hope to play more of this game and your other works in the future.
Hey, thanks for the wonderful comment!
For the mouse sensitivity, I agree, I kinda didn't think about different mouse DPI ^^'.
GG for noticing the evoluting music, that's a little detail we are happy to make, and that gives a sense of progression!
And kudos to my talented artist!
Thanks again, and I'll try yours when I finish my rating queue!
This is a very impressive game for only 2 weeks. Very nice work! I'm not a huge fan of collectathon games nowadays but it reminded me of Banjo Kazooie back in the days. The mechanic with the dandelion is very well made and executed. The visuals and music are great and at the end the dandelion feels too overpowered which is funny to float so high.
For me personally the rotation at the end was to much and made me feel dizzy.
And I strongly recommend a decal under the character to see where the player is, which also works in the shadows. It is sometimes hard to judge where you are flying currently
Thank you for the comment!
I agree for the decal, i remember we talked about it (or at least increase the shadow for the player), but we never implemented it. But yeah, I think it's important, especially for "platformer" games.
Sorry for the dizziness ^^' we wanted to finish on the image of the jam theme!
This is amazing, I had soo much fun playing. This is by far the best game I played in the jam. The music and sounds are on point. The visuals and level design is amazing. And the controls were pretty fun and It felt great <3
Awesome work!
Very mature work, the levels and controls are amazing! The worldview is also very perfect. I especially like the design of dandelion levitation, it looks beautiful and interesting, and it feels wonderful every time it flies~
Thank you very much for your kind words. All the comments we receive reassure us that the hours spent working on the project have not been in vain.
What an adorable fairy tale world! The game is incredibly polished and feels very complete. You must be a very talented team!
Wow, thank you for the compliment. I don't know if we're talented, but we all did our best to bring our idea to life.
Of course we are talented!
Very cute and enchanting :) Love it <3
Thank a lot for your kind words :)
Incredibly cute game, floating on the dandelion seeds feels really great!
Thanks. We spent a lot of time on the game feel. So it's cool that you liked it.
Thank you very much for your comment. As for the screenshot, it's definitely not due to fatigue from the crunch of the last few days. It's a feature! 🙃
LMAO it's the Mew of The Last Bloom. Gotta have the secret last Baby Seed.
Well, i rechecked, and in reality it's 60! 4 more to go xD
I had a great time playing this game! The visuals are very cute :) Thanks!
It's us who thank you for taking the time to play and leave a comment!
