Good work!
Nice concept, beautiful art, cosy music... overall a very good submission!
The only note I have gameplay wise would be that the sneezing felt a bit intense - sometimes it was fine, but many times it felt like I could hardly play at all. I think a little bit less sneezing, or sneezing being caused by something the user can control a bit more, would make it a lot more fun. But that's just my opinion - looks like many others enjoyed it as is, so I might just be picky!
First off I really like the shooting star animation for when I'm the favorite grandchild. I loved the art its very charming and the game overall is very cute and cozy. I liked the rolling mechanic and having the hedgehog think the actions as they were happening helped me understand what was going on. From there it was fun frolicking in the field. Very original well done everybody :D
Really well done on that 8 direction character art, and that cute little roll!
The art and sound design were amazing and really cute - I really liked the little hedgehog huffs during the dialogue, that was great lol. The gameplay was pretty cozy and fun too! The only issue I really had was sometimes my flowers would land on obstacles as I sneezed and I couldn't get them back. Other than that I had fun! Nice job!
Very cute, the artwork is amazingly adorable! I think having some kind of cooldown for the sneeze interval might be nice, I found there were moments where I was stun locked into sneezing 2 or 3 times. That's a minor gripe though since you can roll around easy enough and pick everything up again, really fun and unique concept!
Love the art, and the accessibility was really nice to see! Probably the most control over bindings/settings that Ive seen in a jam. Maybe this is intentional, but when running into an area with a few obstacles around, it makes it impossible to pick your flowers back up as they get stuck under the obstacles, and any further sneezes drops more of them into these spots. I made the mistake of trying to go back for my flowers too much and lost most of them haha
Grandma was still pleased with the haul though!
Thank you for playing and calling out the accessibility. It is something I really try to prioritize and with this one ended up being even more important because one of the developers couldn’t play the game on the web without lowering the grass density :). Remapping controls also helps with play testing because I don’t like arrow keys, but other people find them more intuitive sometimes.
To your comment on dropping flowers on the rocks one the devs asked me to fix that, and I never got around to it. When I watched others play I saw it really was just frustrating though and is why we maybe could brand this a rage game with a cute aesthetic ;) I think in reality we need to re-think the mechanic to focus on things being fun, not just frustrating.
Very cute game! As someone with hayfever I confirm this is what I feel like when I'm out collecting flowers for grandma. I really like the artstyle and sounds. Was a little tough to hang onto my flowers with the frequent sneezing, but had fun regardless! Nice one!
The sneezing rate could have been a bit lower, which got a little annoying to the end, but otherwise I liked the art and sounds. It was still fun though, even not that much I expected.
The sneeze sounds were so cute! I really loved the art and sounds. It took me a bit to figure out how to play (mostly because I didn’t read the directions very well at first :D) but I had a lot of fun once I got the idea. The only small thing I would like more is if when I sneezed, the flowers didn’t end up too close to the obstacles, so I could collect them again and keep speed.
Love the artwork and the game overall is very charming.
I did find the sneezing mechanic rather frustrating, I think I encountered this more often than not because it's not super clear where collisions are on objects, so it feels extra punishing. Perhaps some darker outlines on the objects that can be collided with might help communicate this to the player in a subtle way.
