i think that the dialogue between the narrator and pea was a real highlight, but man that ending was grim. i don't think that it totally fit the theme of the jam, just being more generically environmentally focused rather than specifically "plant a seed", but that's ultimately less important than how it is as a game. heads up if you walk back through old rooms the dialogue starts up again, so if you're going to continue working on this project i would start by solving that first and foremost.

Pea's Adventure's itch.io pageArtistic Statement / Use of Theme
Pea's Adventure approaches climate change through a dark-whimsical lens, heavily inspired by the eerie, charming storytelling of games like Little Misfortune and Fran Bow. The game explores ecological fragility and the delicate balance of nature. The core call to action and positive solution focus on nurturing growth, shifting perspectives to heal the environment, and showing that individual actions can protect our shared ecosystem.
Development Summary
Developed as a solo project for the climate change-focused game jam. The development journey involved building a narrative-driven experience centered around Pea. Major technical challenges included troubleshooting Godot UI and pause menu layering systems. The hardest thing to cut was an extra puzzle level to keep the scope realistic for the jam timeframe.
(optional) Release Plan
Released publicly on Itch.io as a downloadable Windows desktop build.
(optional) Further Development Plan
Plans to potentially expand Pea's Adventure into a full indie release with additional levels, expanded reality-shifting mechanics, and deeper storytelling exploring ecological themes.
