Visually and feelings-wise, this was great! The idea and setting were so cool and it was a neat idea to use public domain art. You definitely put those artworks together well into a cohesive whole. 

It's also very impressive you made this all by yourself!

During the collecting phase, I think that the circle for collecting a flower, especially vertically, should be a bit bigger. I had quite a few frustrating near-misses.
And during the fireworks phase, my frame rate dipped to like 5fps or so whenever a firework particle system was playing. And that then affected my ability to play the rhythm game for the next one so I had quite a lot of failures due to the laggy frames from the particle effects.

Cute atmospheric game with nice graphics and music! Great job!

All the art fits together in a very inspired style, It's really well done. 
I unfortunately had to enjoy this one vicariously through @cheeseoncheese, I was getting stutter on the web build (firefox running on windows 10) that kept me from making it all too far. The rhythm and fireworks section looks awesome, though!

Great game! Here's a playtest @00:55:55

I really really love the art style in this, very calming and serene. A nice submission to the jam. Thank you for the experience. :)

God, the visuals in this are lovely. I really like the filter over the graphics and its so fun to play! Really great job!!

Submitted

The game has a storyline and unique graphics. They're beautifully drawn.

The game is quite simple, but you even managed to add some variety.

Super Beatuiful, i didnt see any lag here and enjoyed everything in the game. Only bad thing: it didnt want to close and i had to go to your itch page then to the game again to come here, as presing quit and or refreshing simply got stuck in the game screen. Apart from that glitch this is amazing work!

Submitted

Really pretty game!  Sadly the fireworks display was suuuper laggy for me (despite the rest of the game running just fine), which made it difficult to play the rhythm game.  Maybe could be optimized.  Very cool though!

Submitted

Lovely unique experience!

The colors are so beautiful. Love the idea and the fact that it is so polished. The fireworks at the end made my computer want to unalive itself, but it was so sweet seeing all the characters enjoy the fireworks. 10/10 game.

I see you are a fellow Garamond enthusiast. :) 10/10 for that alone.

Incredible art and game polish. I thought that the sounds and arrangements of elements felt super polished and thoughtful. Really impressive work -- short and sweet, honestly had me sort of weirdly emotional for some reason and I don't know why.

edit: removed excessive use of the word "really" haha

This was very fun. I loved the art style and I didn't get it at first but then I understood. Loved the timing gameplay at the end. Very fun jam game. Awesome work!

Submitted

beautiful art! i loved the perspective and colors! didn't expect it to turn into a rhythm game in the second part, but it was welcomed :)

Submitted

Short but really well made!

I especially enjoyed the arrow minigame at the end ^^

Submitted

So pretty! So creative!

Really fun from start to finish. Good job!

Submitted

Visuals and audio are stunning !! Very well done on that front :)

The gameplay is simple but effective, even if the perspective on the boat makes it a bit hard to retrieve the flowers.

The fireworks make the game very laggy also 😄

Overall great job, well done :)

Submitted

Love the chill mood! I want that same fish boat <3

Submitted

Absolutely gorgeous art. Counting down to new years midnight is a very lovely idea.

Submitted

This is a treat for the eyes! I just keep playing cause of that artwork. It's simple gameplay wise but makes for a relaxing expierence. I feel very relaxed, thanks!
Well done!
