How does your game fit the theme?
Five days until a party the main character can't get out of. Each day counts down, and the tree in the middle keeps growing whether you play well or not. The countdown is the whole game — you can't stop it, you just decide how you spend the days leading up to it.

Wow, what a mature art style! I love how the game recommends wearing headphones—it really immerses you in the sound of the rain. It's definitely one of the most relaxing and unique experiences I've had.
The bullet hell section is also very cleverly designed. I think the game has a lot of potential, especially if more minigames were added and more of the story was told not only through words, but also through the art, animation, and environmental storytelling.
Great work!
Really nice game with great art and music ,i really enjoy playing it!棒棒棒棒棒！
Impressive art style and music! Is incredible that you did all the animations and transitions in such a small amount of time! Good job!
As a personal note, I get that this is not what you wanted to communicate with your game, I would have liked a bit more "game" maybe having different minigames or just having to repeat them sometimes or maybe having an effect on some aspects of the game according to how you play.
Beautiful artwork, music and overall atmosphere, really enjoyed it!
What a fantastic game! I actually came over to check it out right after seeing it on Bilibili, and it truly blew me away. The visuals create such a warm and cozy atmosphere, and both the art and audio/music are absolutely flawless!
Pulling off a game with this level of polish, narrative depth, and aesthetic charm in just 4 days is an incredible achievement. Outstanding work!
Keep up the amazing work!
A game with a truly beautiful sense of atmosphere ´ ᵕ ` ♡
I adore the charming pixel art, delicate music, and gentle story this game presents.
Watching the tree grow day by day is such a delightful experience.
I think the ideas the story explores were pretty interesting, and they did get me to ponder things a bit. I was hoping the ending would be less vague, but I guess it wasn't a bad thing necessarily.
Presentation was pretty nice. I liked the way the music got more emotional as the days passed.
It did feel a little odd that the protagonist's mood didn't seem to change at all no matter how well or poorly you do in the minigames. I get how that was part of the point, but it feels dissonant considering what happens when you get hit. I do think the latter aspect itself was interesting though, and emphasized the character's feelings well I think.
Overall, it was a solid short narrative game. Nice work.
A very polished game! The art and sounds are incredibly amazing! And the story really makes you think. I enjoyed the atmosphere so much while playing this game. I would've loved it even more if there was a shot showing the ending of the story. Now I'm still thinking about what the growing tree symbolizes. Maybe the main character's own growth? w
We would be super honored if you give our GMTK Jam entry a try as well!

Very cute and polished game. Loved the art and music :)
really cute game
i like how the personality of the character grow more and get better with the tree ,always going forward weather u want or not and for the better ,wholesome game ,good artstyle and audio, GG
The fact this was a Jam game and looks this impressive is a massive achievement, I'm also a big fan of gloomy atmospheres and you nailed that here. Amazing job, I hope this becomes an expanded project :)
The art and music were incredible! My dodging was not! Great work yall!
A short cute game. As an introverted and depressed girl myself i really can relate lol. Art is very nice and I liked the variations in minigames. Good job!
I have the same gripe as the comment below: gorgeous art and animated cutscenes! Playing the game blind, I initially interpretated it being about grief, letting go, perhaps an upcoming funeral or similar event. I might have brushed over a dialogue quickly... In that sense, I wasn't sure how the minigames contributed to the game's theme, but now after reading the description, I appreciate what they represent much more!
This game is really beautiful, my only gripe is that the pixel art is too good! How did you make this in 4 days? Incredible game!
