Lovely! The only way I can think to improve the experience is perhaps to have a custom in game cursor so it is easier to tell when you are hovering over something clickable

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and for the tips! Yeah, I actually added that improvement already. Just waiting for the jam to end and I'll push an update. Cheers!

A very basic game, but the art is really great, and it sets up a good mood.

Developer

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed.

This was lovely! The art is beautiful and I also love the atmosphere done with the audio. Extra points from us because our game also started with a hand-drawn beach lol. Very cute game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for playing! Glad you enjoyed the vibes. You just can't not think of the beach in this season, haha.

This was relaxing at first but it took me ages to work out where I could and couldn't click. Loved the kinda secret areas - was rewarding to finally find all 3 shells haha. The art is really nice!

Developer

Haha, sorry about that… I totally ran out of time before I could polish things up properly… Glad you liked the art though. It’s what I spent most of my time on. And congrats on finding all 3 shells. Cheers!

This is a nice and relaxing experience. I had some trouble figuring out where to click at first, but got it after a minute. Good work!!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yeah… I need to add some QoL improvements I had no time for. Glad you enjoyed in the end. Cheers!

The art is insane, great job! Loved the wave animation.

Short & sweet, I liked it.

Developer

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed.

Beautiful art! Very cozy game. When I first loaded up the game I was confused, until I've read the description. I think it would be better if it was clearer for some parts what was clickable. For example the holes and the grass were very obvious they could be clicked while, I didn't know I can enter the sea without seeing screenshots.

Overall good game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, there are a lot improvements I wanted to make. If there was just 1 more day, I think I could have polished the game a lot. Glad you enjoyed the vibes though. Cheers!

Really chill and cozy game, with beautiful artstyle. I had some difficulties to know what i could click on or not. 

but really cozy chill and cute game i love it! Really good job!

Developer

Glad to hear you liked the vibes. Yeah... the cursor should change when you hover over something interactive, but it can be hard to tell what's a scene change element and what is something of interest on the current scene. I was going to add custom cursors to distinguish them, but it just didn't make the cut. I also wanted to add more indicator elements, but it's the same story. Thanks for playing though. Cheers!

Submitted(+1)

to be fair, the cursor changed on web! but it was hard to distinguish !

Great job nonetheless

Cute little game that sets up a nice lovely atmosphere. I think you're supposed to be slowly clicking around and taking in the vibes, but I just ran through it lmao. Definitely more a me problem than the game's, though!

Developer(+1)

I get it, haha. I didn't manage to finish everything I had planned so there's not much content. Maybe I'll finish the rest after the jam. Thanks for playing!
