I like breathing ☺️
I like the art.
Would be a good little thingy to do breathing with, like you and this fictional dude are doing it together, like buddies or something.

Nice use of the theme, very unique and very relaxing. Some simple animations would really make it stand out, but hard to get everything working in the time frame. It's a nice break from the other games, good job.

The Count is Down: Murder MysteryA very interesting take to the topic, and a very special experience. Though I think it will be better if Adam's lung can expand and contract according the to movement.

Micro-ManageWow, very unique entry. I ended up doing the breathing exercise with him and it calmed me down a bit as well, so thanks lol.

Cherries of WillowmereI am not exactly sure how to rate something like this. I think it was a nice break from other games that I've played so far that were rather hectic, but ironically, as a rhythm game player, seeing a "you were 0.1 off the timing" actually kind of stressed me out a bit more.
I think I tried to get into the experience so much that I didn't realise until coming back to this page that his expression and everything were changing as I went on. That was really cute, because I only really took it in at the end. I will agree with another comment on here though than I think just a bit of narrator at the end, even just a "Adam was able to make his day a bit lighter with your help" or something would have tied it all together.
I appreciate this appearing on my feed.
I was torn on the timing difference showing up, so I do appreciate that feedback! I tried to lighten that distraction a bit by hiding this when you got the timing right, but I think I had gotten a bit too good at it during all the development runs and should have hidden this for everything beneath 0.3s or something.
As for the rating: Rate it as you like, I never assumed this would get high ratings. My main goal was to give people a little break and that seems to have worked out! If there's just one person out there who will continue to use this exercise in their daily lives, I'm happy.
