A pretty good and relaxing game.  While writing down words, the timer went into minus territory. i liked the art und the minigames.

I really liked the overall tone and story. The art was very nice and really gave the game a comfy aesthetic. I found the mini games simple, but quite fitting for the game. Overall good work, and great entry

Developer

Simple but fun minigames. Nice world building too. The visuals were good, the music was calming, and the whole thing had a nice chill vibe. I got rebirthed into an ant, which I'm guessing is a good thing lol. Also loved the self-awareness at the end. Totally can relate to needing sleep after this.

Excellent art and zen-like music! The overall aesthetics and pacing was good. I felt the game was a bit unfair, esp in the rains stage, the game does not relay that the person is going to rush abruptly? Anyway, the game was indeed very good!

Very Cute, I love the art and the concept. very well done

Developer

Thank you very much! I'm glad the art was well received!

Visually, it's really cute! I also love the game's theme, the whole concept of Buddhism and karma, mixed with various GameJam themes! My only criticism is that the rain mechanic was really harsh! If even just a few pixels of the “guy” got wet, you'd lose points! Other than that, it's really cute, and the mini-games are really fun too.

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much for liking the art! Lol, we really wanted to mess with the players for the rain minigame so it ended up like that! We might end up lowering the difficulty at some point if many people are finding it too difficult.

Really nice chill game, love the music, cute art, silly puns and the wisdom + that one guy at the umbrella level might be usain bolt.

P.S. I believe there might be some text issues on the 3rd level (when story telling text pops up some quotation marks (") aren't displayed properly). Great job on this awesome project!

Developer

Thank you for enjoying the game and art! Lol, that was something the programmer added to mess with the player!
